"Like human" and "rationally" and "think" and even "act" are too human to describe robots. That's anthropomorphic. Robots will be like robots, act robotically, they will compute, operate, etc. Anthropomorphism is a childish mistake when studying animals, i'd say it's even more so when studying robots.

I wasn't describing robots; I was describing some of the goals, approaches and ideas of AI researchers, who are very much human. Analogously, it makes sense to say that a pure mathematician tries to find pleasing, intriguing, beautiful theorems; yet the theorems themselves don't experience pleasure, intrigue or beauty.
