Can AI really think? I see some articles that AI can’t think and it can think in some.So, can anyone say that it can think (or) it just process data and give output in human like text?

Hi @Mahidhar,
Welcome to the Google AI Forum! 
Thinking is a very broad term and can be interpreted differently by each person..
IMO
AI can do pattern recognition based on the data it was trained upon or fed into, predicting likely outputs from inputs, following rules learned from huge datasets.
AI have no awareness, no feelings, no intentions, no consciousness, no self-awareness, understanding/deriving of meaning and context based on lived experiences..
The list of can and can’t dos can vary over time.. Now it’s up-to each individual to determine if it can Think based on their perceived meaning of Thinking and which factors they consider to be thinking from above list..
Open for discussion
