They only appear to be. At some point, that >may change. As Bob said in another message, we don't know how human mind works. I, personally, have always thought that we humans are nothing but very complex computers. Do I have a proof? No I don't. Can anyone proove me wrong? I don't think so. But as long as we can't make a good definition of intelligence, we can't say if computers (or humans!) are intelligent or not. Even if humans are just complex computers, we can see the different degree of complexity between human decisions and computers decisions. The gap is still too wide, IMO, to consider them equivalent.
