Turing (mis)directed us to search for learning machines.
Von Neumann has coined a misdirecting term "singularity".
Von Neumann has also invented cellular automata, a very good idea.
George Boole characterized Boolean algebra.
Samuel H. Caldwell, Huffman, McCluskey, Moore, Mealey, Nakashima, Shannon added time to Boolean algebra.
Federico Faggin put these together to create Intel 4004, pioneering making sense of sequential Boolean circuits in large scale. Very, very large scale. VLSI.
What became CMOS for laymen, professionals call Verilog, which "runs" on top of CMOS. Ross Freeman at Xilinx showed us how to put Verilog inside of Verilog. He called those things FPGAs.
Then statisticians used these chips to classify large data sets. They called it "AI".
Mind is you. Mind is your human nature. You are alive. You are intelligent. You exist. You are not a machine.
Charles Sanders Pierce was left behind, mistakenly. Carlo Rovelli told the same story being in mutual denial with Sean Carroll. And Searle saw it all...
