To me it seems to be very important that we, living in this era of technical development, don&#8217;t forget to feel and experience how the two kinds of posing problems and answering questions, and of remembering also, differ from each other. The human mind can contemplate and meditate, and by being patient understand the deepest coherences. It can also oversee complicated situations in a glance, without needing time at all. On the other hand, the computer can only give answers following long \u2013 but extremely quick \u2013 procedures. It must have derived the sequences of these procedures from the human mind, when it becomes increasingly possible that the computer can develop these sequences itself \u2013 but this faculty of development has been given to it by specific algorithms, thought out by the human mind.<\/p>\n<p>This is what we tried to experience, by posing simple arithmetical problems: first with our own thinking, then with the procedure of a computer\u2026<br \/>The results are astonishing\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/miekemosmuller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog152.jpg\" alt=\"Artificial Intellect\" width=\"350\"><br \/>The Emperors new clothes, illustration by Edmund Dulac, 1912<em><strong>Artificial Intellect by Mieke Mosmuller<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1989 Roger Penrose published a book titled \u2018The Emperor\u2019s New Mind\u2019.
