"I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing."

~ John Searle, born today, 1932.

Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI", on his tv appearance with John Searle and THE CHINESE ROOM ARGUMENT.

"The Chinese Room Is a Dishonest Argument"

"I feel I didn't realize soon enough how dangerous it was going to be."

Scientists still don't know the answer to this infamous question - Charles Wallace & Dan Kwartler

" [...] puisque le #langage est capable de produire les effets [tels que] convaincre/émouvoir/exhorter [...], il apparaît évident que nous devons nous y arrêter si nous souhaitons assurer notre #autodefense intellectuelle [...]"

"L' #histoire nous apprend que très vite, des personnes sensibles au #pouvoir du langage se sont empressées d'en tirer tout le parti possible."

"Le #langage est une expérience tellement quotidienne qu'il est rare que nous nous arrêtions pour nous en émerveiller."

"Un outil aussi puissant peut s'avérer une arme redoutable."

" [...] le langage #politique doit pour l'essentiel être constitué d'euphémismes, de pseudo-banalités et de vaporeuses ambiguïtés."

-> techniques oratoires = rhétorique/rhéteur cf sophistes/#sophisme
