Similarly, AlphaGo and Stockfish are only able to simulate reasoning their way through a game of Go or a game of Chess.

That simulated reasoning is enough to annihilate any human player they're faced with.

As Dijkstra famously said, "whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim".

Submarines don't swim, cars don't walk or gallop, cameras don't paint or draw... So what?

Once AI can simulate reasoning better than we can do the genuine thing, the question really becomes utterly irrelevant to the likely outcome.
