1.Warren asserts that “about half are really controlled by the statistical structure of the language, although we are not ordinarily aware of it.”(p.34)

2.Turing talked about Professor Jefferson’s theory ” No mechanism could feel pleasure at its successes, grief when its valves fuse, be warmed by flattery …..”, also he asserted that “machine thinks is to be the machine and to feel oneself thinking.

3.Turing points out that “Most of the programmes which we can put into the machine will result in its doing something that we cannot make sense of at all, or which we regard as completely random behavior .” (p.63)
