Both seem a little right. Normal thinking cannot choose one., 8, A problem for people who think machines cannot have minds. A robot that acts like your mother seems to have a mind, too., 9, It is not logical. You believe your mother has a mind because of her actions. But you do not believe the robot has a mind from the same actions., 10, A problem for people who think actions are everything. We know our own feelings inside. A machine without feelings does not have a real mind., 11, From the outside, the robot and a person seem the same. From the inside, you know your own mind. A machine might not have this inside life., 12 , It is a difficult problem. We know other people's minds only from what they do. So, a machine that acts the same way seems to have a mind, too., 13 , Another way to see it: from the inside. From this view, a machine that acts like a person may still not have a mind., 14, Thinking about computer minds leads to a big philosophy problem..
