It Is Artificial Idiocy That Is Alarming, Not Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Lots of people believe the brain can be simulated by machines and because brains are intelligent, simulated brains must also be intelligent; thus machines can be intelligent. This position Paper discusses whether that is true and whether we should be worried about it if it is.
