TEXT
Who's smarter — you, or the computer or mobile device on which you're reading this article?
The answer is increasingly complex, and depends on definitions in flux. Computers are
certainly more adept at solving quandaries that benefit from their unique skillset, but
humans hold the edge on tasks that machines simply can't perform. Not yet, anyway.
Computers can take in and process certain kinds of information much faster than we can.
They can swirl that data around in their “brains,” made of processors, and perform
calculations to conjure multiple scenarios at superhuman speeds. For example, the best
chess-trained computers can at this point strategize many moves ahead, problem-solving far
more deftly than can the best chess-playing humans. Computers learn much more quickly,
too, narrowing complex choices to the most optimal ones. Yes, humans also learn from
mistakes, but when it comes to tackling the kinds of puzzles computers excel at, we're far
more fallible.
Computers enjoy other advantages over people. They have better memories, so they can be
fed a large amount of information, and can tap into all of it almost instantaneously.
Computers don't require sleep the way humans do, so they can calculate, analyze and
perform tasks tirelessly and round the clock. Notwithstanding bugs or susceptibility to power
blackouts, computers are simply more accurate at pulling off a broadening range of high-
value functions than we are. They're not affected or influenced by emotions, feelings, wants,
needs and other factors that often cloud the judgement and intelligence of us mere mortals.
On the other hand, humans are still superior to computers in many ways. We perform tasks,
make decisions, and solve problems based not just on our intelligence but on our massively
parallel processing wetware — in abstract, what we like to call our instincts, our common
sense, and perhaps most importantly, our life experiences. Computers can be programmed
with vast libraries of information, but they can't experience life the way we do. Humans
possess traits we sometimes refer to (again, in the abstract) as creativity, imagination and
inspiration. A person can write a poem, compose and play music, sing a song, create a
painting or dream up a new invention. Computers can be programmed to replicate some of
those tasks, but they don't possess the innate ability to create the way humans do.
