A debatable point but not for this forum.  The boys and girls at MIT and
Poughkeepsie and other such places are making strides - big ones.  When you
can sit at a KB and type or at a microphone and talk and can't tell if the
responder is human or a computer, is the machine thinking?  An interesting
philosophical debate but - this is not the place.
