Some of you may be interested in reading Isaac Asimov's article in the
latest (November, I think) Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.  The
article is entitled "More Thinking about Thinking", and is the Good
Doctor's views on artificial intelligence.  He makes a very good case
for the idea that non-human thinking (i.e. in computers and
dolphins) is likely to be very different, and perhaps superior to, human
thinking.  He uses an effective analogy to locomotion: artificial
locomotion, namely the wheel, is completely unlike anything found in
nature.
