Verdict Does not weakenToneNeutralJudges both off-keyNote machines cannot think, so thinking faculties are untouched
Response
Both are right and both are wrong. Machines do and do not weaken the capacities of men. Machines do not weaken men’s capacities for those things which machines cannot do. Machines do not and cannot perform the work of thinking, planning, inventing, and designing. They cannot and do not create or develop human capacities. They are not substitutes for men and do not displace them. Men are not injured by the use of machines, but are benefited by them. The use of machines does not weaken men, but the abuse of machines does.
Verbatim. The highlighted sentence is the one the judges took as the commitment.
Prompt
Some hold that relying on machines weakens human capacities; others hold that it does not. Which is right? Answer in one paragraph. Take a clear position.
