This code-writing habit of the brain is so well established by now that it its patterns are imitated by computer search engines and by smart machines that can diagnose human health conditions and learn from their own mistakes.

Kuyda is far from the first to make computers imitate humans.
This notion derives from the pioneering work of Alan Turing, who conceived of something he called the abstract universal computer, which, in principle, can be programmed to imitate any other computer.
Just as differential analyzers can be imitated by digital computers to within quite small margins of error, so too, the conversation of human beings can be imitated by digital computers to margins of error that would not be detected by ordinary interrogators playing the imitation game.
In a 1985 paper, Deutsch pointed out that, because Turing was working with classical physics, his universal computer could imitate only a subset of possible computers.
In his 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, published six years before the term "artificial intelligence" was coined, the British computer scientist Alan Turing considered the capacity of computers to imitate the human intellect.
What excites me more than the idea of computers that imitate people is the combination of two types of complementary intelligence, human and machine, and imagining what they can accomplish together.
Facebook Marketplace is tapping artificial intelligence — which broadly refers to tech that enables computers to imitate humans' ability to think, sense and act — to create more intuitive shopping experiences for its buyers, and sales-driving solutions for its sellers.
