Read about the human brain and mind and do a comparative study vs the computer and software. You'll see soon how complex we humans are and how simple these glorified switches are. Your hardware/programme can't actually understand anything. It's data bieng processed in binary. It does what it is told to do, within the parameters of your programme. It has no idea it's playing a game of chess, but it is! But it isn't either as it is without mind! Art Imitating Life. Cogito, Ergo Sum!
