In his latest post Steve writes about 10 Weaknesses of Human Intelligence. You’ll have to read it to understand my following statements about computer intelligence.
1. Unable to understand anything but zeroes and ones.
No matter how intelligent a computer might seem, it would be a good idea to remember that it is not really intelligent in any way shape or form.
2. Unable to comfort you when you have a bad day.
Though you may actually feel comforted by using the computer in certain ways it is really not the computers intention for you to feel better.
3. Gets outdated quickly.
Computers need to be updated regularly to be acceptable for us to use. After a few years it is very likely that it will not be able to run the latest software.
4. It needs to be told what to do.
A computer can not function on its own. Someone need to tell it exactly what to do, and when to do it. It is limited by its programing.
5. No feelings.
A computer can not show emotions. It could be programmed to show something that could look like emotions, but its just zeroes and ones.
6. Limited sensory input.
Its input channels is restricted to two numbers. You guessed it: Zeroes and ones 
7. No moral.
A computer can be used for anything you would like to use it for. Bank robbery, cheating, harassment and so on. It will not tell anyone what you do. There is no difference between right and wrong.
8. Unreliable hardware.
It is only a matter of time before a critical component suffers an irreparable crash. It would be a good idea to make backups of all data you do not want to loose.
9. Not able to repair it self.
If a computer get “sick” (viruses, worms etc.), it will not get well by just waiting for it. Someone has to fix it. There is no such thing as: “It’s just a cold”.
10. No soul.
A computer does have a soul, and will not join you in the afterlife. No matter how good friends you have been. If it stops working, that’s really the end for it.
