Descartes
claims that a machine disguised as a human being would be given away by two key factors. What
are
these two factors? (This is discussed on p. 1 left side)

2. Explain why Descartes believes that these two distinctive factors could never effectively be duplicated by
machines.
Do you believe that he is right in this regard? Why or why not?
