gollark: We're pretty general intelligences, but there are some things we can't really do or are extremely bad at.

gollark: Would you accept something as "truly thinking" if it appeared entirely identical to a human over a text chat?

gollark: That seems somewhat silly. It takes humans a lot of training to control complex real-world machinery, and that's with lots of intuition about the physical world in general already extant.

gollark: Interesting.

gollark: I know roughly how the training process works. I just dispute that it can't lead to "intelligence" of some kind.
