Man is not a machine according to the document. While machines can be programmed with logic and can beat humans in narrow problem-solving, they lack creativity, intelligence, and the ability to experience reality and emotions. The document discusses how philosophers and experts have different views on what defines humans but agrees that creativity requires a "magical gift" beyond logic. Machines can only mimic some aspects of human intelligence through programming but cannot match the flexibility and complexity of human thought. The document concludes that stating man is a machine is an oversimplification and the debate on the differences between humans and machines will continue.

1. is Man a Machine?

computer science

2. WHAT IS A MACHINE?
• A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that
modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more
useful form.

3. WHAT IS A MAN?
• philosophers defined as any human being endowed with reason.
• What man is the ultimate metaphysical question. Doctors see man
as a neurological and biological system. Mathematicians consider
man a collection of logic and computational devices. Intelligent
Computer Experts call them interactive robots. Artists see human
as a God, while some just as Animal.

4. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINEDIFFERENCES BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINE
•Creativity
•Intelligence
•Reality and emotion.

5. Can machines be Creative?

6. Thinking leads to creativity, something which can
generate myriads of emotions in mind and soul.
which I no machines don’t have and this was supported by
mark twain who made a quote saying:” Yes. Man the
machine--man the impersonal engine. Whatsoever a man is,
is due to his MAKE, and to the INFLUENCES brought to bear
upon it by his heredities, his habitat, his associations. He is
moved, directed, COMMANDED, by EXTERIOR influences--
SOLELY. He ORIGINATES nothing, not even a thought.

7. Unlike a well known philosopher who said man is
machine named “Julien Offray de La Mettrie”

8. He said something in his book which I quote “It is not
enough for a wise man to study nature and truth; he
should dare state truth for the benefit of the few who
are willing and able to think. As for the rest, who are
voluntarily slaves of prejudice, they can no more
attain truth, than frogs can fly.”

9. And he also pointed out that “I reduce to two the systems of
philosophy which deal with man's soul. The first and older
system is materialism; the second is spiritualism”
Materialism means an inclination towards acquiring material
possessions and comforts; in short, it is a tendency to lead a
life in which pleasures of the body are given preference above
anything else. Spiritualism is centered and established on the
soul, that is, activities in life are decided keeping in mind the
awakening of the soul.

10. QUESTIONS
• Can this computer generate that creativity in themselves?
• They might've beaten Gary Kasparvich once, but will they be ever able
to match the genius of Einstein?Can they create such wondrous
theories?
• Can they create paintings like Picasso?
• Can they deliver some beautiful thinking philosophies or Karl Marx,
Mahatma Gandhi?.

11. • Creativity requires some magical gift, which can not be
explained by logical disintegration

12. HOW INTELLIGENT IS MAN?

13. The big question is can a machine act intelligently?
Can it solve any problem that a person would
solve by thinking?
What is intelligence?
it’s a the mental capability to reason ,plan ,solve
problem ,think abstractly, comprehend complex
ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience.

14. The incredible ability and flexibility of human intelligence
has long been a feature we consider to set us apart from
the rest of nature. while other animals certainly think: none
can juggle abstract concepts or manipulate things but now
that ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE as being invented e.g.
IBM supercomputer. Which measures up to the
intelligence of man logically. Can machine be called
intelligent?
The supercomputer actually defeated Gary kasparov In a
six game match by applying game rule to block every
possible but we all no that intelligence is more than that.

15. 1. We can recognize the face of a friend in a crowd instantly.
2. Isolate a single conversation in a noisy room
3. Detect a pattern of behavior from a small set of clues.
It’s a phenomenal ability and this cant be achieved by series of
programming work.
• Taking information, decisions and ability to learn can be
regarded as intelligence. For all such activities, we need logical
operations like compare, duplicate, store, calculate, remember
and order. Yes, computers can do all this! We see numerous
demonstration of this ability in software applications and internet
portals. Comparison is also the key which opens the door of
emotions in our mind. Comparison with others, our past which
makes us happy, sad or even jealous.

17. REALITY- is the state of things as they
actually exist, rather than as they may
appear or might be imagined.
 EMOTION- is a subjective, conscious
experience characterized primarily by
psychophysiological expressions, biological
reactions, and mental states

18. • Emotion is one type of affect, other types being mood, temperament and
sensation (for example, pain). Emotions can be understood as either states or
as processes. When understood as a state (like being angry or afraid), an
emotion is a type of mental state that interacts with other mental states and
causes certain behaviors
• The following are some of the features that distinguish emotion from moods. An
emotion is a response to a specific stimulus that can be internal, like a belief or
a memory. It is also generally agreed that emotions have intentional content,
which is to say that they are about something, often the stimulus itself. Moods,
on the other hand, are typically not about anything, and at least some of the
time do not appear to be caused by a specific stimulus. Emotions also have a
relatively brief duration—on the order of seconds or minutes—whereas moods
last much longer. Most theories agree about these features of the emotions.
Other features will be discussed in the course of this article. There is much less
agreement, however, about most of these other features that the emotions may
(or may not) have.

19. CONCLUSION
• This article has outlined the basic approaches to explaining the basic difference
between man and machines, it has reviewed a number of important theories,
and it has discussed many of the features that we no are true. One tentative
conclusion that can now be drawn is that it is unlikely that any single theory will
prevail anytime soon, especially since not all of these theories are in direct
competition with each other. Stating that man is not a machine.
