On the most basic terms, people and computers are similar. But when it comes to free thinking and creativity; that's what's impossible to duplicate.
We tell computers what to do. And that's all it will ever be. Computers doing things based on rules given to them by us. If x event happens then you can do this or this or this etc etc.
A computer being concious? Hit the escape key and you kill it. Click run and it is born again. It can use a database to remember things. Sure you can replicate the human thought process with software and hardware but it won't do anything that we didn't tell it to do. Like right now...a computer couldn't give the response I did.
Can an AI actually have a real opinion about something? No. I used to believe that making a concious AI would be possible. But years later? No. Not possible.
