Good point. Computers are dumb, they only do what you tell them or program them to do. You can even program them to 'think'. Of course this is also only according to their programming.
Yet in the computer world it's called artificial intelligence. Emphasis placed on intelligence. So now we are to call dumness intelligent?
I could say a computer is a servo mechanism. So is a car. So is any machine.
This is why people, organizations etc. come out with such so called 'logical' rubbish for they think like machines.
Such is the mind also.
When people say nowadays students are different or times are different then they should check if they themselves are different also. If they believe computers are intelligent, that their latest gadgets are intelligent, that their own minds are intelligent, then they will see all kinds of things going wrong and just blame this that and the other and argue about it blah, blah, blah. It's called normal.
Sometimes I think the furthest a person in martial arts can see is making themselves into some kind of fighting robot.
It's a shame really.
