Quote: “The lightning-fast, step-by-step precision of a computer bears little resemblance to the workings of a brain. But according to the central dogma of A.I., such distinctions are irrelevant. Intelligence, it was believed, could be translated into rules and implanted into any kind of information processor, as long as it was powerful enough.”
