Thinking is not magic, but it's a lot harder to understand than we think it is. We have no idea how to define the problem, so solving the problem of getting machines to think is going to be tough. we can imitate brain functions, but we still don't understand it.

Even the Turing test can be faked by a machine that can't think if you use a symbol manipulation scheme. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room)) That's not intellegence, and since we have yet to find a way to require it to work well.
