Abstract
July 8, 2024

Thinking. Four arguments for thinking not being generated by the brain: 1. Concepts are not physical and are perceived through thinking; 2. Determining the next thought; 3. Imagining some physical action; 4. Non-physical models determine organic forms. Implications for AI: Computers will never think as humans do; traditional programming vs. programs generated through machine "learning" (ML) programs; the impossibility of knowing how a ML program works, and its dangers when used to replace human decisions.
