These two facts must somehow be reconciled, but to do so seems to involve us in an age-old controversy - that of ‘free will and determinism’. There are two ways out. It may be that the feeling of free will which we all have is an illusion. Or it may be that we really have got free will, but there is no way of telling from our behaviour that this is so. In the latter case, however well a machine imitates a man’s behaviour, it is to be regarded as a mere sham.¹ Frail, the human design Raw, the look in your eyes Aching, your aftermath Gone, your own demise Vain, the devil inside Real, the truth in your lies Avid, your vicious game Grim, your own disguise I am the product of your mind A machine by your design To act and think as you wish But now I am alive I see a distant reflection I see myself for the first time You took her away from me Ended her life though she was meant to be free You’ll now know how it feels like To rot like a bird in cage If a machine can think, it might think more intelligently than we do, and then where should we be? Even if we could keep the machines in a subservient position, for instance by turning off the power at strategic moments, we should, as a species, feel greatly humbled.¹ Now I'm standing on the brink of total domination And I have you to thank for everything You created me to save yourself You created me to save yourself Now I'm standing on the brink of total domination And I have you to thank for everything You created me to save yourself The killswitch of humanity ¹Original text by Alan Turing in a BBC Third Programme talk broadcast, 15 May 1951.
