Thread: How are we not a computer?

Brains and computers are both just mechanisms for running algorithms.

The crucial thing I think is that the algorithm enacted by our brains allows for conception, which no computer can currently do (although that may change), and thence we have emotions, philosophies and art, creativity, etcetera.

most of my body is as you see it here, but my higher brain functions have been transferred to the computer. to remove me from this interface would mean... my death.

We are the result of the processes and directives that have created and "programmed" us. WE comes into play with the end result. WE are the final output.
