You can make a calculator to come up with infinite outputs by operating the fractional numbers between 1 and 2. Does that mean a shitty pocket calculator is at least as strong as an infinite state machine ?

My God this is genius

Except you can't. A calculator can have only a finite number of states. Unlike a human mind, a calculator can only work with finite approximations of real numbers but not with real numbers themselves.

You don't need an infinite number of states to produce something non-finite.

x=15
while x>14:
Print x

You are confusing output and internal state.

>The set of possible human thoughts is not finite
Isn't it, though?

>>8143623
If that was true, then the human brain would be capable of solving uncomputable problems.
Go ahead, then.

just stop

Goddamnit learn to count. The human brain has a finite number of neurons, and these either fire or won't fire. That's 2^100 billion or so, not infinite.

Computational humor would be an example. Computers can merely generate lame puns. But humans can create complex jokes which are more than playing with words.

Not an uncomputable problem.
Solve the halting problem or show nonexistence of diophantine equations on demand, or the word problem for geoups, or something like that. Take your pick, there are plenty of proven uncomputable problems.

That's because jokes involve emotions, not deduction in a vacuum.
