Abstract
This paper proposes a metaphysical framework for distinguishing between human and machine intelligence. By drawing an analogy from Kant’s incongruent counterparts, it posits two identical deterministic worlds -- one comprising a human agent and the other comprising a machine agent. These agents exhibit different types of information processing mechanisms despite their apparent sameness in a causal sense. By postulating the distinctiveness of human over machine intelligence, this paper resolves what it refers to as “the vantage point problem” – namely, how to legitimize a determinist’s assertion of determinism by placing the determinist within the universe.

Comment:
The 'vantage point problem' stated in the abstract and introduction has been further clarified. Additionally, I excluded the application of Gödel's proof strategy for his incompleteness theorem from the paper. Accordingly, I had to change the title as well. The existing term 'metaphysically open deterministic world' has been changed to 'deterministic world' for simplicity. Furthermore, I have cited two new thinkers, Piccinini and Zizek, to support my arguments.
