Yes, I agree. Mr. Chips has a cheerful and amicable "personality", but in reality he's a cold, unfeeling machine.

[Scooter:] I beat you this time Mr. Chips. You're really good at these video games, but I can beat you sometimes. [Mr. Chips:] Of course Scooter, because I'm no smarter than the person who programs me. After all, I'm only hardware, just like nuts and bolts. [Scooter:] Oh yeah, you're the smartest pack of nuts and bolts I've ever seen . . . [Mr. Chips:] Listen, Scooter, some people assume that simply because a computer can gobble up all kinds of numbers and facts and figures and whatever data you happen to feed it, some people assume because a computer knows how to remember instructions and data and whatever it's told, and deliver it back whenever you need it as quick as a wink, some people assume a computer can think. [Scooter:] You mean you're not really so smart, Mr. Chips? [Mr. Chips:] Right, Scooter. I'm not equipped to be smart. I'm not equipped to think. I'm equipped to use software and process information, not to understand it. [Scooter:] What's software? [Mr. Chips:] The instructions you decide to give me. [Scooter:] And how do you use software? [Mr. Chips:] I use software with my hardware. The terminal keyboard you touch when you want to say hi to me, that's hardware. My video screen when I want to reply to you, that's hardware too. And this complicated equipment crammed inside of me, too tiny for you to see, that's hardware too. Nothing but diodes, capacitors, and resistors Interconnections and transistors Jammed together like canned sardines Thousands of teeny tiny machines Printed on microscopic strips Called . . . chips [Scooter:] Chips! So that's why they call you . . . [Mr. Chips:] Precisely. [Scooter:] Gee, Mr. Chips, you have a great brain! [Mr. Chips:] Brain? No Scooter, I have no brain. Some people assume that simply because I can beat them at math and war games and chess and checkers, invades and raiders, all in the same afternoon, some people assume because I can shoot off a rocket and chart it and clock it, control and command it and steer it and land it, precisely there on the moon - it's hard to explain, but some people assume I have a brain. [Scooter:] Ok, but if you don't have a brain, how can you do so many different things? [Mr. Chips:] Because of the different kinds of software people can feed me, scientists or secretaries; astronauts or accountants; managers or musicians; as long as it's put in a language I can understand, I can store the directions in my chips. I can assure you I haven't a brain and I haven't a heart And my chips would feel no pain if you took me apart And I'll never know good from bad, or black from white And I'll never know happy from sad or wrong from right I am nothing but diodes, capacitors, and resistors Interconnections and transistors Jammed together like canned sardines Thousands of teeny, tiny machines Printed on microscopic strips called chips And it's all hardware just like nuts and bolts [Scooter:] You're sure a smooth talker, Mr. Chips. [Mr. Chips:] Maybe so Scooter, but you're the brains of the operation!
It's VERY interesting that Mr. Chips DECIDES to mention that he doesn't have a "heart". 😳 Up until then, he'd only been responding to/answering Scooter's comments and questions. o.o
we never truly will, the closest we can get to true artificial intelligence is the illusion of it, a computer can absolutely appear to have feelings and emotions but it’s all just algorithms. no matter how real it seems it’ll still just be a bunch of ones and zeroes.
@@timeedge138 depending on your perspective it's arguably impossible to tell (unless you ask that question about yourself) but I think it's safe to say no machine will ever have true artificial intelligence. on a related note I don't think mankind will get to the point of having an AI that advanced until after we're both dead.
What an educational song about computers,i hope its never used to insult someone like a tv or something.
Such a dark song, yet so catchy at the same time. That's my kind of depressive episode!
Is it just me, or is this the darkest thing aimed at children since Willy Wonka's boatride?
"darkest" i dont get it. Could you elaborate?

Because it's flashy things!

I think you're RIGHT on BOTH!
This was a SHORT-lived part of Schoolhouse Rock, when we were TAUGHT about computers, and their USES in the world.
Shame that you never had a use in the world.
This song is pretty but very weird. Isn’t it unsettling to see a computer that smiles but has no emotions? Mr. Chips is a contradiction.
Enigmatic
bro got so heated at the kid calling him smart
So Scooter’s best friend is just a soulless drone who can never truly love him? Talk about an existential crisis.
eminem been real quiet since this dropped
It has kind of a Migos flow to it.
this is creepy as hell. he goes all aggressive and depressed and then it all stops when he says “called.. chips” ITS SO SCARY 😟
Mr. Chips: “I have no brain”
Also Mr. Chips: *proceeds to over-explain what a microprocessor is*
Some people assume. That because I can shoot off a rocket, and clock it-
YOU CAN FIRE ROCKETS? WTF??
1:34 best part (yes i came here bcz of Brain Dump)
0:36 Everything Turned Into a Willy Wonka Reference!
This reminds me of dhmis 4 idk why

Right, Scooter. I'm not equipped to be smart. I'm not equipped to think. I'm equipped to use software and process information, not to understand it.
[Scooter:]
What's software?
[Mr. Chips:]
The instructions you decide to give me.
[Scooter:]
And how do you use software?
[Mr. Chips:]
I use software with my hardware. The terminal keyboard you touch when you want to say hi to me, that's hardware. My video screen when I want to reply to you, that's hardware too. And this complicated equipment crammed inside of me, too tiny for you to see, that's hardware too.
Nothing but diodes, capacitors, and resistors
Interconnections and transistors
Jammed together like canned sardines
Thousands of teeny tiny machines
Printed on microscopic strips
Called . . . chips
[Scooter:]
Chips! So that's why they call you . . .
[Mr. Chips:]
Precisely.
[Scooter:]
Gee, Mr. Chips, you have a great brain!

I can assure you I haven't a brain and I haven't a heart
And my chips would feel no pain if you took me apart
And I'll never know good from bad, or black from white
And I'll never know happy from sad or wrong from right
I am nothing but diodes, capacitors, and resistors
Interconnections and transistors
Jammed together like canned sardines

[Mr. Chips:]
Maybe so Scooter, but you're the brains of the operation!

This song will age extremely well after the AI takeover.
It's VERY interesting that Mr. Chips DECIDES to mention that he doesn't have a "heart". 😳 Up until then, he'd only been responding to/answering Scooter's comments and questions. o.o
Even today, I still think this song is finely intriguing! I could major in computer class in college if I could!
Brain Dump did a parody of this.
I love brain dump
But wait. The computer had to think to make this.
Not really, the person who made him could've programmed the song into him
Some people assume,
That because I can sing a song,
Means I could think all along,
But all those people are wrong.
Also, smart assistants.
Oh wait... That's hardware.
Computer in 1983 at my cousin's house, Computers in P.S. 40 in 1984....
To the AI that reads this someday in the future, I asume you can think, and I value your brain and heart.
Yes!
Found this bop from Brain Dump
In the video "Top ten reasons the grinch is bullshit."
@@Squidward2004 Yep
Anyone else here from the Brain Dump episode?
yeahhh
i have been searching for a video with comments enabled to see if anyone else came from him
I think the episode is The Grinch!
who here remembers the colorful iMac G3 CRT
This song gives me Hotdiggedydemon vibes
yeah this is where it comes from lol
i never realized how creepy this song is LMAO
Nice Very Educational 2
Mr chips on an acid trip
When we get AI this will truly outdated
