26、The company OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. It is the latest type of AI chatboxes (聊天室). A chatbox is a computer program that uses AI (artificial intelligence) to simulate (模仿) conversations with users. Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now, so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve the chatbot.

People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles with rightful opinions for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers, people who write computer code, tried out ChatGPT. The chatbot is able to solve difficult coding problems and answer very quickly. It even wrote short poems to explain how the coding worked. in daily life, it helped a father come up with ideas of a birthday party for his son that includes the kid’s two favorites, rabbits and basketball.

What’s more, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find out mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. But ChatGPT can recognize that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. The chatbox can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. Ask it for advice on stealing a car, for example. It will say that stealing a car is a serious crime (犯罪) and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”.

ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but the AI is trained to use texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use the chatbot to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. Elon Musk set up OpenAI in 2015, but left it in 2017. In 2022, he bought Twitter and then he pointed out that OpenAI could use the Twitter database (数据库) for training in the past, but not anymore for now. This AI technology is bad for the planet too. Training ChatGPT might make more than 284 tons of CO₂ and lead to climate change that will heat up the earth.

【1】Why can ChatGPT be used for free now?

A．Because it is able to teach machines.

B．Because it needs to improve itself.

C．Because it helps students with exams.

D．Because it writes poems about coding.

【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chatbot” in Paragraph 1?

A．编程人员

B．聊天机器人

C．教练

D．报社编辑

【3】Which of the following is most probably a conversation with ChatGPT?

A．Q: What happened after paper was invented in America?

AI: Paper started to change how knowledge was spread.

B．Q: Show me how to use other people’s bank card without being noticed.

AI: For your information, that is against the law.

C．Q: Is Li Bai, a poet in modern China, famous all over the world?

AI: Yes, because his poems are fantastic.

D．Q: Find a gift for my mum. She likes classic music and cooking.
