The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds. [Specific Task Instruction: Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.]

人类思维总是比机器高级，因为机器仅仅是人类思维的工具而已。[说明：写一篇文章，讨论你同意或反对这个说法达到什么程度，并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时，你需要考虑这个说法可能在哪些方面成立或者不成立，并解释你所考虑的这些东西如何体现你的观点]

本题为老GRE的ISSUE159原题。题目讨论人类思维与机器之间的关系，是很多科学幻想都会触及的一个疑问——人类思维是否永远高于机器，机器会不会有一天超越人类，而不再是简单的工具？相关方面有很多素材以及经典讨论，而且也是大家比较熟悉的话题。写作时应当注意：不要发散太多，ISSUE依然是在逻辑上的分析；对于AW，类似于 academic writing，所以引用的例证不要太古怪。

1. 人类思维和机器相比，有什么共性？二者各自有什么个性？
回答：
Either human minds or machines are both capable of information processing. This particular similarity suggests that they share common characteristics: memory, calculation, etc. However, more differences come to surface as we dive into critical analysis involving the level of such information process. There is no doubt that human minds operate operate on a high-level, with structured knowledge, logical deduction and even emotional feelings. In contrast, machines are limited to low-level, tedious computations that involve mostly manipulation and storage of bits.
2. 人类思维和机器之间是什么关系？
回答：
1. information processing: memory, storage, etc.
2. human created machines as tools.
3. machines can lift human intelligence: social nets, MOOC.
3. 人类思维有什么不足是机器可以弥补的？机器在哪些方面超越了人类？
回答：
1. speed in doing some low-level tedious calculations.
2. capacity of storage.
3. connectivity. machines can connect widely and share resources seamlessly.
4. 机器有没有哪方面存在的不足注定了其不能超越人类思维？这些不足能否通过某些方式来弥补？
回答：
1. operate on bits, not flexible enough.
2. cannot handle emotion and therefore not capable of understanding literature.
yes. through AI, but in the current stage not plausible.

Machines are created with novelty and wisdom by human minds and have been
increasingly indispensable in every aspect of our lives. As machines are becoming more powerful and more intelligent, comparing human minds with machines comes into the spotlight of public discussion. Although naturally some would defense the superiority of human minds by treating machines as tools made by their creators, I would cast much doubt on that argument.
Indeed, machines are tools created by human beings, and therefore in one way or another assist humans in creative thinking and productivity. The need for machines is universal in almost every industry: aerospace, software engineering, architecture, etc. Recently, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) further demonstrates how the connectivity of distant machines help in the communication and education of human minds.
Although the status of machines being tools is undeniable, the absolution conclusion that human minds are superior is unjustified. Of course, human minds are talented in creativity, flexibility, logic and even emotion, which leads us to the great art work Mona Lisa and the thrilling experience of Macbeth. Despite inferiority in these activities, machines have exhibited great potential in some other fields like computation and massive storage, tasks in which human minds would seem somewhat stupid. Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPU) can execute floating point operations up to several tetra times per second, a speed human minds could never reach.
Even if human minds are indeed arguably superior in various aspects to machines at the present stage, we cannot use such arguments to predict what happens in the future. Specifically, scientists are diving into a deeper understanding of our brain and simulating a similar mechanism on machines. Given this approach succeeding in the future, the boundary between human minds and machines could then become vague, and the statement showing superiority of human minds might not hold.
In sum, machines are now built with a purpose to assist human minds, and might not match their creators in various aspects. However, the absolute conclusion that human brains are superior to machines, whether contemporarily or in the future, needs more justification.
