Detailed explanation-1: -So, can computers think? The philosophical questions about what constitutes thought, sentience, and consciousness are best left to philosophers. Even so, we can very confidently say: the answer is no.
Detailed explanation-2: -False. It works on the instructions it receives by the user.
Detailed explanation-3: -All digital computers rely on a binary system of ones and zeros, and on rules of logic set out in the 1850s by English mathematician George Boole. A computer can represent the binary digits (bits) zero and one mechanically with wheel or lever positions, or electronically with voltage or current.
Detailed explanation-4: -In order to act in this space of orientation computers require external assistance-they do not think by themselves. But the computer mediates between abstract concepts and reality and thus serves to orient thinking.
Detailed explanation-5: -Recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) models are capable of many impressive feats, including recognising images and producing human-like language. But just because AI can perform human-like behaviours doesn’t mean it can think or understand like humans.
