The picture of a superb computing device seems to be presented to us. The supporters of strong AI (cf. Chapter 1, etc.) would hold that here we have a supreme example of an algorithmic computer – a Turing machine in effect – where there is an input (like the Turing machine’s input tape on the left) and an output (like the machine’s output tape on the right), and all sorts of complicated computations being carried out in between.
