[!quote] “The Mind’s I” by Eric Hofstadler
"The issue of A.I., where a computer can be intelligent or not, is not what seperates man and computer. For there is no doubt of our ability to create an intelligent computer in the classic definition of intelligence. However, what differentiates us from the computer, is free-will. (Piece no 5 - The Turing Test)

Although we could make an argument for programming free will into the computer, or, alternatively, saying that all we do has been programmed into us as well. However, we come back to a limit, in that we could program into the computer anything that we could never program into the computer something that has not already programmed been programmed into us. What is scary is the thought that this AI could perhaps come out with something that we have not already programmed into it. Though it may be able to do that, it is still constrained, and heavily influenced, by what has been programmed into it. It cannot have a random thought – one that deviates from the rules by which it has been defined – which is a definition of creativity.

It would take a truly psychopathic personality to truly understand an AI. For AI is completely devoid of any human emotions. It literally cannot feel anything - not because it doesn’t want to, but because it does not have the capacity to feel anything. A true psychopath. It makes it decisions according to certain algorithms that rely, I believe, heavily on probabilities, by which it weighs which is the preferable path for the request that has “activated” it.
