This was only a metaphor, Uri.  Although there are debates about the
philosophical implicaitons of functionalism that you must be aware of.  Starting
with the Turing test, onto the Chinese Room Problem (Searl) and the
Computational model of intelligence.

Still it was but a metaphor.  BTW, I am now right above you in the Playchess
