Even though humans may share some common traits with machines. I believe humans to be more different than similar to machines. Once programmed, a machine is set about to do a particular task over and aver again with little inconsistency. Even though a human has the ability to perform tasks in such a way, it is common for the human mind to get distracted, which can be seen through the inconsistencies in the results from the ruler lab. What is more, the human mind is designed in such a way that humans have the ability to change their ways of doing things in order to improve efficiency whilst carrying out the task; whereas machines are unable to do so without having to be reprogrammed. From the above argument you can see that humans are inherently different from machines.
