Both a human and a pool-playing robot (like, say, Deep Green -- http://www.ece.queensu.ca/hpages/faculty/greenspan/) have to solve exactly the same problem, which happens to be a problem of applied physics.


So one solves it with neurons and one solves it with silicon. What makes you so sure the process is so fundamentally different?

Rather than simply calling it "solving it with neurons," the human is really solving it with knowledge based on experience gained from long periods of practice and the robot solves it with equations and numbers, none of which it gained from experience. That the result may be the same in no way guarantees that the principles in the solving of the problem are the same.
