Type in "A cat wants to go to space" and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you'll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.
This robot writer is real. It's called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It's one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person!
People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history essays (论文), some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even generated advice on how to interact (互动) with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.
The power of ChatGPT lies in its high speed and understanding of complicated matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make guns, it will not give you an answer.
ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many ethical (道德的) issues, such as the issue of copyright and the definition (定义) of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the internet's biases (偏见) and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.
