In Lyotard's essay, Can Thought Go On Without A Body?, he looks at several different views on artificial intelligence, including the thoughts of Dreyfus. In one part, Dreyfus argues that humans don't think based on binary code and isn't based soley on units of information. Humans think hypothetically and intuitively. Artificial intelligence can only think based on what is programmed into them and what is logical and reasonable based on facts. They must analyze data and base information on facts alone rather than information that could be considered ambiguous.
Dreyfus also points out that humans are able to understand what is important and what is unimportant without going into several exhausting trials be examining different series of information. Machines do not have the ability to reflect on information and decide which is important and which can be discarded until they have gone through all of the possible outcomes.
