Edge: DREAM-LOGIC, THE INTERNET AND ARTIFICIAL THOUGHT by David Gelernter
Could human-like intelligence emerge on the internet? No. First, the raw materials are wrong. Human beings and animals are conscious and, as the philosopher John Searle has argued (in effect), a scientist must assume that consciousness results from a certain chemical, physical structure — just as photosynthesis results from the chemistry of plants. You can’t program your laptop or cellphone to transform carbon dioxide into sugar; computers are made of the wrong stuff for photosynthesis — and the wrong stuff for consciousness.
