The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.

Men are reasoning rather than reasonable animals.

I'm afraid that the following syllogism may be used by some in the future.

The one job that machines cannot do is be a cruel plutocrat. That's why humans are still needed.

Men simply don’t think.” And

Our most important thinking machines will not be machines that can think what we think faster, better, but those that think what we can’t think.

People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed.
