人与电脑的区别
是什么让人有别于电脑程序?我们的理论还没有解释的缺少的要素是什么?答案很简单:人们阅读报纸故事为了学习更多他们感兴趣的东西,而电脑不是。事实上,电脑甚至连兴趣都没有,当它们试图阅读时它们没有寻找任何特别的东西。如果一个电脑程序是理解故事模式,那它也是为了某个意图去阅读。
诚然,人类的意图若是被强加到电脑身上便没有任何意义。一个人可能会读就餐指南,只是为了解决饥饿或是有娱乐目的,也可能是为了寻找一个吃商务餐的好地方。电脑不会饿,也不吃商务餐。
然而,这些心理和社会目标会导致一些智力或者认知目标。一个想要解决饥饿的意图会促使这样的念头产生:找到一个提供我们想要的食物的餐厅,这餐厅叫什么名,价位如何,在什么位置等。我们把这些为了获取信息或者知识的目标叫做学习目标。电脑也能有这些目标;一台电脑也许“想要”寻找餐厅的方位,并且为了做得像一个人一样去阅读一个指南。虽然这样的目标就电脑来说不是产生于饥饿,但电脑很可能从这个目标去获得更多关于餐厅的信息。
