(Text 6)Fears about the appearance of bad, powerful, man-made intelligent machines have been reinforced（强化）by many works of fiction—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the Terminator film series, for example. But if AI does eventually prove to be our downfall, it is unlikely to be at the hands of human-shaped forms like these, with recognisably human motivations such as aggression（敌对行为）.

(Text 9)Open AI released an advanced AI chatbot named Chat GPT on November 30, 2022. It is a large language model that can be used for natural language processing tasks. It has reached 100 million users just two months after launching, causing much discussion on online platforms.

One of the key features of Chat GPT is its ability to generate human-like text responses to. This makes it useful for a wide range of applications, such as responding to questions in online forums(论坛), challenging incorrect premises, rejecting inappropriate request, or even creating content that is tailored to the given task. For example, GPT technology can help people write code quickly and accurately, and also help reduce the risk of errors, as it is capable of generating code that can bested and used immediately. Looking at the actual use of Chat GPT just from the standpoint of 2022, it is absolutely amazing. “Chat GPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerous strong AI”. Elon Musk tweeted.

But with such praise also came concern regarding its potential usage in academic settings. Could the chatbot inspire more student to cheat? “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” said schools spokesperson Jenna Lyle.

When interviewed about their own limitations, this language model replied: one Limitation of large language models is that we are not capable of understanding the context or meaning of the words we generate. They can only produce text based on the probabilities of certain words or sequences of words appearing together, based on the training data we’ve been given, and the data was only updated to 2021.This means that we can’t provide explanations or reasoning for our responses, and we may not always generate responses.
