To be put simply this essay is about whether computers can think and if they will ever be able to surpass human intelligence. Robert Wright expresses his feelings and impressions that he has about robots. Fortunately I believe that robots will never be able to surpass human intelligence. Robots only know as much as we do. Not only that but robots are unable to take on human attributes that way that we do. Computers can never truly think, act, feel, or create human attributes.
Humans will never surpass human intelligence. Given this statement I am 100% positive that there are quite a few computers out there that are way more intelligent than I am. I'm not super intelligent or the smartest person in the room. I am very far from that. This just means that there are people all around me surpass me in intelligence on a regular basis. I find comfort in this statement because although others are far more intelligent than I am then these people are far more intelligent than robots or computers. Only the people creating these machines control the level of intelligence that the machines represent. In other words, robots will never be able to be more intelligent than their makers.
Another thing I find comforting is that robots cannot assume all human attributes. Why do I find comfort in this? Well this just means that robotic beings will never be able to rule the world!!! Why? Robots will never be able to think, feel, love, cry, grieve, or function as human beings do. As a human I can never be replaced. I am valued for my emotion and incompetence. I am very different from a machine and this gives me value.
