poem #130
Lady Lovelace's objection may be parried
There is nothing new that was not simply the growth of the seed
Machines take me by surprise because I do not do sufficient calculation
Assumptions of my vicious ways throw doubt on my credibility
I testify to silence my critic
The idea of surprise required a creative mental act
Machines cannot give rise to philosophers
The nervous system is not discrete
A small error in the neuron may make a large difference to the being
If we adhere to the conditions of the interrogator the situation can be made clearer
It is not possible to describe what a man should do
