Can Machines Think? Can machines think? This is an extremely hard question to answer and in my opinion I don't think they can. I feel machines are made to give the appearance that they can think, when this is not actually so. In a way they mimic the human thought process by the way in which they operate. Processes that are similar to the way in which we think are inputted into machines by humans allowing them to reach a suitable outcome or carry out a given procedure, however when following the stages to reach these outcomes machines are not actually thinking, the steps they must go through are automatically there for them, therefore no brain power is needed. This differs to a human's trail of thought, as at each stage of the thought process reached before a conclusion is made, we have think about how to reach the next stage...
