A few months ago, he wrote an article on AI for The Province. He began with Minsky's quote on regarding the human brain as a "Meat Machine". Suzuki snapped at Minsky that he should stick to Computer Science and leave biology to the biologists. He then went off on a long flame about AI, how and why it should work, and its philosophical implications. With all due respect to Dr. Suzuki, he should stick to genetics. --- Marc Majka - UBC Laboratory for Computational Vision
