A computer is a bicycle for the mind. Logic is purified thought, computers are logic engines. General intelligence can be implemented by a computer, but it is much more anthrospecific.
With respect, no, it’s just thought with all the interesting bits cut away to leave something so stripped-down it’s completely deterministic.
computers are logic engines
Sorta-kinda. They’re also arithmetic engines, floating-point engines, recording engines. They can be made into probability engines, which is the beginnings of how you implement intelligence on a computer.
