Anyone remember George Levy? Here is what he said about this:
..this only proves that any "sane" machine cannot be sure that it
thinks correctly.
So the sane machine would say: "I think but, since I may be insane, I
am not sure if I am."
Only the insane machine would positively assert "I think therefore I
am!" So we know now where Descartes belongs: in an insane asylum, as
do most philosophers, religious leaders and politicians.
