Luciano Floridi, The 4th revolution: how the infosphere is reshaping human reality (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014), 141-142. The "Emulation . . . connected to outcome" that is to be distinguished from functionalism falls on the reproduction side of the reproduction-production divide (140):
As a branch of engineering interested in reproducing intelligent behavior, reproductive AI has been astoundingly successful. . . .
However, as a branch of cognitive science interested in producing intelligence, productive AI has been a dismal disappointment. It does not merely underperform with respect to human intelligence; it has not [even] joined the competition yet. Current machines have the intelligence [(not computational ability!)] of a toaster and we really do not have much of a clue about how to move from there.
