Are Machines Better Off Under Human Rule?

Robots can effect employment in a negative way,as said by the author Kelly “It may be hard to believe… 70 percent of today’s occupation will likewise be replaced by automation...even you will have your job taken away by machines”(Kelly Page.300), this quote comes to show the negative aspect of robots taking over the world in the near

The article ‘Rise of the Machines’ is Not a Likely Future (2015), Michael Littman addresses the issue and worries that people have with regards to technology. The article attempts to persuade readers to believe that there is no need to fear technology as it is just not possible that they can overtake humanity. Zeynep Tufekci touches on the issue of machines taking over jobs of human, titled “The Machines are Coming (2015)”. She attempts to argue that there is no need to reject or blame technology for taking over jobs at the workplace. Littman’s argument is stronger than Tufekci as he provided logical reasoning due to a well balanced structure with consideration of opposable viewpoints with substantial evidence and effective usage of Pathos to appeal to the reader. Tufecki’s argument is weak due to the lack of evidence and her claim was only brought in at the end of her article which makes it seem very lop-sided.

The rivalry between humans and machines has been present since the beginning og the the world. Trying to make the world easier for humans has been one of the life goals for society in order to crate a better world; however, those people don’t know that as society progresses the worse it is to introduce automated machines, Intelligent machines are a threat for society because it will increase unemployment and poverty.

Even though the working world gradually changed and standards and regulations for labor law and protection were introduced at least in the developed world, close connection between man and machine remains to this day. But how strongly have the machines influenced the working world, and what mechanisms are used to control, monitor and optimize

When humans created artificial intelligence, the machines believed they were superior than humans and rebelled. They survived by imprisoning the humans, thus believing that their lifestyle and culture was superior to the humans. This “slavery” of the humans is similar to the slavery that happened in the nineteenth century, where some people believed they were superior to others. Once the machines in the movie believed they did not need to labor to the humans.

Despite the loss of their own identity and power, the citizens of the Machine era pridefully declare their society as “advanced” in comparison to “before the dawn of civilization” (Forster 10). They credit the Machine for their advancements as they view the pre-Machine era as inadequate and degenerate. Ironically, their pride is misplaced as the people of the Machine era are not advanced. The people who built the Machine were advanced, innovative, and knowledgeable, but when the people of the Machine era forgot that humans are the ones who gave the Machine life and thus have the power to control it, they stagnated their own progress and allowed themselves to become disconnected. Their false proclamation demonstrates the irony of humanity’s tendency to worship man-made creations as bigger and more powerful than the men who gave the machines life revealing a loss of worth in human intelligence and identity.

Men create machines. Machines destroy men. Will this be the vicious cycle that ends mankind? With machines taking over, it is difficult to see any other possible outcome. Machines are more efficient, more intelligent, and overall better workers than the humans who created them.

Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always

Text evidence proves, “This is what we will do: we will go to a city and rule it. Since man no longer rules us, we will rule ourselves. To rule ourselves will be better than being ruled by man.” (Aldiss, 145) The text shows us that without orders, machines will try to overtake us, it shows us that they are smart enough to do so.

To start it off, a main point that I feel is necessary to have discussed is that most machines stopped working or started losing control because they didn't have orders from man. We first learn this when the field-minder gets done turning the topsoil on the field and he is supposed to get potatoes only to find the storage area locked. The field-minder goes to find the unlocker only to learn that the unlocker did not unlock any of the warehouses because it was not given orders. “Your duty is to unlock the warehouse every morning. Why have you not yet unlocked the warehouse this morning. I had no orders this morning, replied the unlocker”(Aldiss,142). This proves that machines need man or else they end up stopping what they used to do even if it would have eventually have become a habit.

In “Who Can Replace a Man?’’ Brian Aldiss communicates a story about machines who rule themselves after man passes away. Though the machines are intelligent and strong all does work out in the end as they go back to obeying man. Through the relationship between machines and men Aldiss communicates that machines are ultimately dependent on human intelligence.

The future of any society is governed by the people within it, and although the Machine in E.M. Forster’s “The Machine Stops” has the illusion of maintaining order in a dystopic society, it is really the people’s fear and misbeliefs that control them. The lack of connection and communication in the society is what has led to the people to become overdependant on the Machine, to forget that behind this supposed omnipotent power, it was humanity that created and supported it. In Forster’s society, one which was broiling with the onset of global war, this was a key development, as political ideologies such as fascism and nationalism were rising in power. This story serves as a forewarning to the citizens who live in such societies and the threat

In conclusion, what I come to understand after reading the book of The Open Boat by Stephen crane, is that nature is going to take its course regardless of how well machines are being manufactured or how advanced technology are becoming . So in the fight between men and machines to maintain their role in the modern world, men shall prevail because we are part of

In the beginning of the human race, technology was nonexistent, or even thought of, but ever since the start they have always tried to find things to make their live simpler. Today, people live are simpler than they were in history due to the advancements of technology that have made life a little too easy. The computer for instance is everywhere today, from a smartphone to a desktop computer. Advancements with the technology of the computer have helped scientist take the most complex equation to solve in less than a few seconds. Computers can take on tasks that require a lot of info to tasks that would take less than a second. Even today computers

Hollywood blockbusters such as Terminator and Terminator Two have fueled the idea of artificial intelligence taking on humanoid characteristics and taking over the world. Let me answer the last question once and for all. It is not possible for a robot to think, feel, or act for itself, it may be programmed to mimic the actions, but not experience the real thing. We can program them to react to a certain stimulus, but a robot cannot and will never be able to comprehend, have feelings genuine guilt and much less act without the use of a programmer some were along the line. The second question is also a rather simple one. Of course there are robots that should not be created. For example, robots made for the sole purpose of mass destruction or robots made with the intention of harm to
