It's true my life hasn't turned out the way I would have liked but I'm not going to wallow in self pity anymore.

 

I'll chase my dreams every day, no matter how far away they seem right now.

Don't judge a book by its cover. You will truly understand it if you're just willing to read it.

I still have my doubts because I believe that computers will always run on the Fetch, Decode, and Execute cycle, doing literally nothing until it is told to do something. We can't build a computer with the instruction of "Do whatever you want" because without being told what it wants to do, it doesn't know what it wants to do. So if you tell it what it wants to do, it's still following your instructions. The microprocessor can't think. It can only do calculations. Even animate computers and robots capable of observing an area only fetch, decode, and execute. The human mind does one more thing that I don't think computers ever can do. We fetch, decode, and execute. But before we execute, we want. We see something, we determine what that thing is, we determine what we want to happen to that thing, and then we do it or not based on how much we want that event to occur. Fetch, decode, will, execute. And the cycle of the mind repeats. Computers are missing that third part and I think they'll always run that way. 

 

Computers get rid of human error because they don't make mistakes in their calculations. But if they have free will, then they can make mistakes in those calculations. What if it was told to make a mistake in calculating something? Would it have made a mistake by not making a mistake? Or would have have not made a mistake by making a mistake it was told to make? I think free will in computers gives way to that paradox. 

 

Perhaps I'm wrong. But I still doubt it'll happen no matter how good they get.

I refuse to let go until you're impressed.
