It is undeniable that some very useful analogies can be drawn between the relational systems of computer mechanisms and the relational systems of brain mechanisms. The comparison does not depend upon any close resemblance between the actual mechanical links which occur in brains and computers; it depends on what the machines do. Furthermore brains and computers can both be organized so as to solve problems. The mode of communication is very similar in both the cases, so much so that computers can now be designed to generate artificial human speech and even, by accident, to produce sequences of words which human beings recognize as poetry. The implication is not that there is no sharp break of continuity between what is human, what is mechanical.

निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को पढ़कर प्रश्न का उत्तर दें:

यह निर्विवाद है कि कंप्यूटर और मस्तिष्क तंत्र की संबंधित प्रणाली के बीच कुछ बहुत उपयोगी समानताएँ रेखांकित जा सकती हैं।तुलना वास्तविक यांत्रिक लिंक के बीच किसी करीबी समानता पर निर्भर नहीं करती है जो दिमाग और कंप्यूटर में होती है;यह मशीनों पर निर्भर करती है।इसके अलावा, दिमाग और कंप्यूटर दोनों को व्यवस्थित किया जा सकता है ताकि समस्याओं को हल किया जा सके।संचार का तरीका दोनों मामलों में बहुत समान है, इतना है कि कंप्यूटर अब कृत्रिम मानव भाषण और यहां तक कि संयोग से, ऐसे शब्दों के दृश्यों का सृजन करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया जा सकता है जिन्हें मानव कविता के रूप में पहचानता है।निहितार्थ यह नहीं है कि मशीनें धीरे-धीरे मानव रूप धारण कर रही हैं, लेकिन यह कि मानव और यंत्र के बीच निरंतरता का कोई तीव्र विराम नहीं है।
