For example, a human could throw a ball against a wall because as a human, he/she would experience boredom. Computers do not know boredom because they don't require stimulus to remain capable. They serve a specific function, the same way a fork would serve a purpose to make eating food easier. Moreover, expanding on my previous point, is the computer aware of its programmer, or even ponder it for that matter, in the ways that humans ponder a god? The idea is that humans have rationalization while computers don't. For example, if you showed a small child a red ball and a blue ball and asked them to pick one, the child <i>could</i> pick randomly but may also choose one of the balls based on what it associates with the ball's respective colour. Maybe it's crib was blue and correlates happy memories with that colour? A computer would only be able to make either a predetermined selection or a randomized one.
