I didn't agree with you, it's hardly the same as 'not getting it'.

It would be much more complicated than that, and I am afraid that you're on the borderline of thinking in fantasy world rather than realistic logic.

This would be funny if you were intentionally trying to amuse me. You're serious.....holy crap. Do you know what a qubit is?

So why are you suggesting the computer would think for itself? Hold tight, it's almost here.

That makes no sense, we wouldn't be asking them to.

It would if it were programmed to.

How about a judicial committee?

Therefore a computer could determine 'it'.
