Will the Machines surpass the Humans?

In the view of Minsky, the way in which machines surpass the human brain is they have the ability to remember any information they’ve previously encountered. They have the ability to look back at everything that has ever happened to them. Humans can’t do that. Instead some memories will be kept while others are lost. What this really means is that machines can be more conscious than human brains. According to Minsky just because machines can be more conscious than humans, this does not mean that machines are smarter than humans. He defends this by explaining how just because someone has something doesn’t mean they will be able to use it.
I do agree with Minsky on his stance about how just because machines can be more conscious than humans this doesn’t make them smarter than humans. My reason for agreeing with him is his suggestion of how the machines are not as aware of how to use what that know compared to humans. I believe humans are a lot better at adapting then machines are. I think a good example of this is solving a math problem. A machine has to have itself programmed specifically on how to do math by the programmer. A human can look up how to do it themselves and learn it without help from another person. Also a machine has to be told specifically when there would be change and human can figure it out by themselves beforehand.
I think the fact that humans have the ability to tell when there is problem and are able to look up ways to solve it on their own is another reason their smarter. They don’t to be told specifically what the problem is and what specifically what has to be done. Humans have an ability to adapt much quicker I believe as humans can predict when something will change. Machines will work until there is absolute need for change. I think it’s natural for humans to try and figure out the problem with what they already know. If it turns out they don’t have enough information they can look it up. It may be easier for a machine to happen to know something because of their ability to recall things from memory, but I don’t believe it would be as easy for them to look up whatever their trying to solve, they would need help from human in finding new information.
