Well it's kinda hard not to 'misunderstand' when you say things like this:

If that's not suggesting that a computer has the same kind of ability for thought as a human mind then I don't know what is.
Either way, think I've said more than my piece on this one. It's interesting shit to be sure, I just don't think people should jump the gun, computers IMO aren't capable of the same kind of thought we are. At least not currently.
