 Computers are generally deterministic except in specific circumstances which makes producing new functionality in code the programmer's responsibility.
 The field of artificial intelligence attempts to reproduce human intelligence through deterministic computing and has come a long way in recent years.
 Artificial intelligence still has predictable results--we have a few tests for human intelligence, the most common being the [Turing test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test).
