Like HAL9000, is it not possible that your professor could actually be a machine? Don't laugh, we've all thought about it at one time or another! It would be foolish to rule out the idea that these highly intellectual beings could actually be sophisticated "thinking machines." Or for that matter, couldn't anyone who walks amongst us be such. If put to the Turing Test, could one actually be confident that they would be able to determine the difference between man and machine? As far as intelligence goes, is there even really a difference between the two?
Since Descartes, many have had many thought provoking conversations in which end in the realization that the following statement is true. So why is it that when it pretains to robots, one simply huffs and ignores any possibility that this may be true. Many try to critique such an issue stating that there is no way in which a robot could be mistaken for human because they would lack many of our animated abilities....well to that i respond with a simple cartoon.....
