Duplication doesn't entail computability
OpposingArgument

#3881
Duplication of behavior doesn't entail computability of internal states. Even if all human functions can be duplicated by an automaton, this doesn't entail that the internal processes that give rise to those functions can also be duplicated.
For example, there is good reason to believe that deliberation is noncomputable even though the behaviors that result from deliberation can be duplicated by an automaton.
Selmer Bringsjord, 1992.

Are thinking computers mathematically possible? [7]☜Is it mathematically possible for a computer to think as well as a human can? Does the mathematics of computation contain anything to prohibit machines from thinking?☜FFB597

Yes: Automata can think
Yes: Automata can think☜A finite automation, like a Turing machine, can replicate all essential aspects of human intelligence. Finite automata are completely mathematically possible. Thus, machine thinking is mathematically possible.☜59C6EF

Human functions can be captured by automata
Human functions can be captured by automata☜A finite description of a human being can be fine-grained enough to capture all that is essential to its humanity. Once such a description is formulated, a finite automaton can be constructed to duplicate all natural human functions.☜98CE71
