We are designing computers or AI as close as to human cognition. In secular term, it seems to be ultimate goal that we make another intelligence out of human which virtually mimics human intelligence. This is often and easily described in many films, recently such a film, 'I, Robot'. This is also what computational prospective on cognitive science long for to be clarified in the long run. But here we can stuck with one puzzling dilemma. That is segregated parts of effort go completely opposite, one is to the advanced, autonomous and creative but at the same time the other to illogical, unpredictable and mistakable. Computer's advance closer to human cognitive process can additionally means of the increase of the possibility of serious mistake?? How can we achieve this conceptual and technological parallel with completely opposite direction with an artificial intelligence? The computer that can make as creative effort as a human cognition does but at the same time, it supposedly can commit very odd and silly (almost illogical) mistake with grand possibility, even 'without possibility' namely 'unpredictable'. Just imagine the AI or computers which derive different answer from yesterday's as like human. (After reading the part around p14 of Thagard's 'MIND')
