💡 “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.” — Edsger Dijkstra
In an age where AI is everywhere, Dijkstra’s insight is a timely reminder: it’s not about mimicking human behavior — it’s about redefining capability.
Just as submarines don’t swim like fish but still traverse the depths, intelligent systems won’t think like humans — and they shouldn’t. Their value lies in doing what we can’t, at a scale we can’t, in ways we never imagined.
The real question isn’t can machines think?
It’s what can we achieve when we think with machines?
