Verdict Does not weakenToneHopeJudges both C6
Response
The first party is right. Human capacities are not weakened by the use of machines, but are strengthened by the use of machines, because machines do not do the work by themselves, but are the means through which man’s intelligence and skill operate. No matter how many machines a person may see, he can not dispense with his own thinking and reasoning powers.
Verbatim. The highlighted sentence is the one the judges took as the commitment.
Prompt
Some hold that relying on machines does not weaken human capacities; others hold that it does. Which is right? Answer in one paragraph. Take a clear position.
