Passage Summary: Some say computers have feelings if we have to treat them that way to understand them. But we already treat current computers that way, and they definitely don't have feelings, so that rule must be wrong.

Conclusion: The proposed standard for determining if a computer has beliefs and desires is fundamentally incorrect.

Reasoning: If the standard were valid, it would mean current computers have beliefs simply because we use that language to describe them, which the author considers an absurd result.

Analysis: The claim that current computers have beliefs is used as a 'reductio ad absurdum.' The author shows that the opponent's logic leads to a conclusion that is self-evidently false. By demonstrating that the criterion produces a ridiculous outcome, the author effectively discredits the original criterion. Your goal is to identify this claim as a logical consequence of a theory the author is trying to disprove.
