Topic Battle

Artificial intelligence secures victory through sheer ubiquity and transformative potential, though Spider-Man demonstrates that raw capability cannot wholly supplant the power of narrative and emotional connection. The silicon challenger dominates in practical measures: recognition that spans all human institutions, adaptability that permits endless redeployment, daily utility that touches billions, and an intimidation factor that concerns the planet's most brilliant minds. Yet Spider-Man's triumph in entertainment value reminds us that human beings remain creatures of story, drawn to heroic archetypes that embody our aspirations. The final score of 54 to 46 reflects this nuanced reality.
