Summary
This document is page 208 of a text titled 'Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?'. It contains a philosophical discussion regarding 'Lucas's argument' on human creativity versus machine coding, asserting that creativity cannot be entirely pre-coded in the brain. The text introduces the concept of a Turing Machine as a practical way to differentiate between humans and machines. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015898' stamp at the bottom.

that creative step. Lucas’s argument is largely a philosophical one. Surely
all this creativity can’t all be pre-coded within the brain. Surely we must
be extending our model in order to extend mankind’s mathematical
model. “Prove it,” say the detractor, and he cannot. We need something
more practical if we’re going to show a difference between humans and
machines - something an engineer, or even a physicist, could grasp! That
thing is a Turing Machine. We will examine this next.
