Hi horse,  I'm trying lu's iPad, on the road.

the typing sucks.  we'll keep it short...

I say,

> You've obviously been reading too much Sci Fi.



You reply:

> Not really, I have a degree in Artificial Intelligence and my third year dissertation/paper/project (whatever) was in Artificial Life. That was in 1993 around the same time that ALife was starting up and I've been keeping up with it (more or less - it's become a substantial area of computer science) ever since.

I say,

You reply,


> Penrose's arguments (especially those in "The Emperors New Mind" - the one that specifically targets AI) were unravelled and dismissed a long time ago - I read it when it came out and thought it was a pretty poor read.

And then you have the gall to top it all off with,


> Cheers

I can see that this argument is not going to go my way at all.  :-)

But I'm pretty interested in the gist of why you think Penrose is wrong.

Humbly yours,
