Progression Of The Human Mind

Improved Essays
Each and everyday, the world is becoming more and more technologically advanced. Progressively, humans are slowly becoming not just reliant on machines but also being replaced by them. With this, it may sound like machines are superior to the human mind. However, the human mind will always be superior to machines for numerous reasons.

First, machines only improve strictly because of the progressions made by humans. For example, the change from a telephone to a cellphone was only accomplished because there was an individual willing to advance this creation. If humans were not motivated to change rudimentary inventions, then we would not be in this position where machines are slowly becoming more superior to humans.

    Summary: In the article “Brainology”, Dweck talk about two types of attitudes or mindsets. The two types are a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Students with a growth mindset tended to get up again from setbacks and continuously improve academically with added effort, while those with a fixed mindset had a mindset that their abilities is what they are stuck with, they are afraid to further challenge themselves; due to belief that they aren't capable. Dweck had concluded that praising one without any acknowledgement of effort tended to create a fixed mindset while those praised for hard work or effort were more likely to not only feel more confident but still kept trying even if a task was a challenge, making these qualities a growth mindset,…

    According to “Toward An Intelligence Beyond Man’s” by Robert Jastrow, it states, “Computer intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds, with no natural limit in sight. But human evolution is a nearly finished chapter in the history of life. The human brain has not changed, at least in gross size, in the past 100,000 years, and while the organization of the brain may have improved in that period, the amount of information…” (208).

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its primitive stages. Consequently, computers fail to be good at tasks like Poker as Gopnik’s article suggests. Nevertheless, once the development of artificial intelligence changes its gears and picks up the speed, there is a decent chance for the computers and machines to actually outsmart the best of human beings. However, it would probably take decades for the Artificial intelligence to reach a point where it can intellectually defeat humans. Thus, for now, it can be said that computers do not have the potential to truly outsmart the human…

    While the words “science fiction” often evoke images of aliens and galactic monsters in the minds of many people, these one-dimensional stereotypes do not come close to capturing the genuine essence of the genre. Science fiction is unique in its ability to think deeply and stretch the human mind to its full potential, constantly making attempts to understand and make meaning of ourselves and the world around us. Isaac Asimov went so far as to say that "Modern science fiction is the only form of literature that constantly considers the nature of the changes that face us, the possible consequences, and the possible solutions.” Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick embodies the words of Asimov, tackling the societal understandings of what it means to be human.…

    Speaking to machines is different than speaking to people, Turkle mentions “We have built machines that speak, and, in speaking to them, we cannot help but attribute human nature to objects that have none”(Turkle 16) However, these machines do exhibit a partial human nature that can help people that need it most.

    Machines can work 24 hours per day and it will not say that they are tired while human cannot work this long period of time. Again this is an advantage for artificial intelligence, a disadvantage for human. Artificial intelligence can complete task much faster than human with less errors and defects. This makes people think that they are inferior and make them to be under very high stress as they need to compete against machines. Artificial intelligence is cost efficient, when it is at the stage of developing, it may need large investment but when it is developed, it can replace human employees who need to be paid monthly with less efficiency while the cost of artificial intelligence is just maintenance…
