Thats the difference.
..
Furthermore, the force lifting the rock (me) acts unpredictably both in magnitude, direction and timing - unlike the force called gravity which by definition is constant.
So could a computer controlled robot "decide" to drop the rock?
Humans are nothing more than a very sophisticated electro chemical robot. We can be very predictable, we just have so many contributing factors that it is difficult to predict. Break us down to the cellular level and we are exceedingly easy to predict.
The computer controlled robot would be analogous to the lever in the rock/lever/fulcrum graphic shown earlier.
In my opinion artificial intelligence will always be just that - artificial.
