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). Computers have the ability to process multiple sources of information at …show more content…
In “What Did Watson The Computer Do?” by Stanley Fish, it asserts: “Human beings have trouble keeping to the rules. Human beings are always thinking, “Yes, I know the rule, but surely those who crafted it would agree that in the situation I now face, it should be relaxed” or “I know the rules of this game but if I obey them slavishly…” (216). Computers on the other hand, lack this type of cognitive thinking skill. “Human thinking is a concrete biological phenomenon existing in actual human brains. This is as opposed to Watson, which is merely following an algorithm that enables it to manipulate formal symbols.” (Fish 216). Computers are unable to adapt to situations, but are only able to follow guidelines that are programmed within them. Also, computers are emotionally detached unlike humans. Humans have the ability to have feelings, react to situations in a certain way, and essentially think! “Literally speaking, there is no such thing as computer understanding. There is only simulation.” (Searle
