Virginia Dignum (@vdignum): Humans are not machines, nor is our brain a computer processing information. As in past eras, this metaphor reflects the most advanced thinking. It does not help understanding humans nor does it help developing #AI 1/2 https://twitter.com/Abebab/status/1414549801300074501

the faulty reasoning is:

1. all computers are capable of behaving intelligently.
2. all computers are information processors.
3. conclusion (wrong): all entities that are capable of behaving intelligently are information processors.
