Naresh: In the near future we will be able to construct machines capable of conversing as humans do. Teaching computers English syntax is not as problematic as once thought, and we are making great strides in discovering what background knowledge these machines will require. Ashok: But being able to converse as humans do is not solely about possessing the correct syntax and background knowledge. It also involves the capacity to communicate the often emotional and confused knowledge one has; plainly, no computer will ever be able to do that. Naresh and Ashok most clearly disagree on whether ['there will ever be a computer capable of conversing as humans do', 'only humans communicate emotional and confused knowledge', 'computers will become more adept at communicating emotional and confused knowledge', 'in the near future humans and machines will be able to converse with one another']
