PrepTest 86, Section 2, Question 24

Difficulty: 
Passage
Game

Taken as a whole, the computers that constitute the Internet form a complex, densely interconnected collection that transmits information like the neurons that form the human brain. And like a developing human brain, the Internet is growing at millions of points. So we can expect that the Internet itself will someday gain a humanlike intelligence.

Question
24

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it

equates the complexity of an entity with the intelligence of that entity

fails to consider the possibility that other technologies may simulate human intelligence before the Internet does so

draws a dubious analogy between the information that is processed by the human brain and the information that is transmitted on the Internet

fails to give an indication of why the characteristics it focuses on are sufficient for the eventual development of humanlike intelligence

presumes, without providing justification, that the people administering the Internet are interested in developing a system with humanlike intelligence
