Will it ever be absolutely possible to create computer systems that are entirely alike humans? This is definitely not an easy question with a straightforward answer. Maybe I should distinguish here between - "is it possible" and "if it is possible then whether it will be a negative or positive invention". Well I don't regard myself a computer expert and probably never will, thus I have no idea how them clever people will make a human intelligent design. But, observing what is possible in today's world, it wouldn't surprise me if in tens or hundreds of years, there were robots walking around, sharing the world with Homo sapiens. Whether these would be exactly the same as humans is of course hard to define, but in my personal view - they won't. Human mind is extremely unique, we think in spontaneous ways and are able to give opinions, express emotions. To me, computers are represented by symbols and numbers; they are programmed to follow precise rules.
But we shall see...
