The article “The Cyborg Advantage” by Clive Thompson is mainly about a question that the author asks: Which are smarter, humans or machines? In this article the author talks about the difference between using machines, like computers, rather than humans using their brain. In addition, he talks about how humans use machine intelligence in situations such as playing a game of chess where in the article he proves that humans do use machine intelligence in order to facilitate their moves such as calculations or help. Furthermore, he says that whether humans use or don’t use machine intelligence, nowadays people rely on computers and machine intelligence to increase their strategies. This article concludes that if humans and computers work as a team there is a better chance at winning and gaining an “aha” moment.
In my opinion I believe that computers and humans are smarter than humans alone, because if you work as a team you can gain more knowledge. I believe that use of digital assistance and machine intelligence can help a person have more advantages, rather than those who don’t use computers.
After reading the article, I noticed that computers have a great advantage towards humans. If humans and computers work together as a team they are able to be more powerful source. According to the article, the author says that “computers can perform endless lighting fast calculation; humans can’t”. I do agree with this because a human can’t add big numbers in less than three seconds, but with a computer who has a calculator, it is much faster to have a quick answer than taking time to do calculations.
Using a computer helps you win. If your playing a game your likely to win if a computer helps you with tips or helps you figure our your next step. For instance in a game of chess is more likely that a computer is going to beat you. But according to the article, in a freestyle online tournament of chess in 2005, “each competitor enter the position of their pieces into a computer and use the move that the program recommended to inform their decision-making” This helped the computers win, because of “blending their smarts with machine smarts. Therefore this study proof those computers can help humans become smarter.
Humans who rely on computers are the ones who are more strategic and smart. The reason why is because humans who use computers usefully and are able to gain more intelligence instead of those who don t use computers. According to the article the authors estates that, “people who are thrilled by personal; technology are the ones who have optimized their process-they know when to rely on machine intelligence” further on it says the result of using computers, “the upshot is that they feel smarter, more focused, and more capable .In contrast those who feel intimidated by online life haven’t hit the sweet spot”. We can say that there is a great outcome if a human uses machines because with the help of a machine toy can accomplish things
Finally I believe that humans who use computers and smarter than those who don’t use machine assistance because there is a great disadvantage if a human doesnt use machine.therefore I belive that if humans are able to work together as a team like the article The Cyborg Advantage" says,then theres a greater chance that a human wins.
