Young children have the ability to problem solve, yet we don't hold them responsible for their actions, why?
OK do tell me what the difference is between being able to solve problems vs the ability to reason. And while you're at it, tell me how you solve problems without an ability to reason.
And yes, we do hold children responsible for their actions. Just not as much as adults. But that's because children are still developing, along with their ability to reason and solve problems.

Quote:THE computer that stunned humanity by beating the best mortal players at a strategy board game requiring “intuition” has become even smarter, its creators claim.
Quote:Dubbed AlphaGo Zero, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system learnt by itself, within days, to master the ancient Chinese board game known as “Go” — said to be the most complex two-person challenge ever invented.
It came up with its own, novel moves to eclipse all the Go acumen humans have acquired over thousands of years.
After just three days of self-training it was put to the ultimate test against AlphaGo, its forerunner which previously dethroned the top human champs.
AlphaGo Zero won by 100 games to zero.
“AlphaGo Zero not only rediscovered the common patterns and openings that humans tend to play ... it ultimately discarded them in preference for its own variants which humans don’t even know about or play at the moment,” said AlphaGo lead researcher David Silver.
The 3000-year-old Chinese game played with black and white stones on a board has more move configurations possible than there are atoms in the Universe.
My question to you is, do you belive a computer posses the ability to reason?
Without getting into issues of defining exactly what is meant by an ability to reason, which is actually a layman term that allows someone like you to equivocate. Yes computers can be programmed to reason and have done for many decades now. But certainly not as well as an animal. And that includes AlphaGo Zero.
I'm not even going to bother trying to explain why to you.
