21、An artificial intelligence chatbot (聊天机器人) called TacoBot from fast food chain Taco Bell now lets you order a meal in a smartphone text exchange that might look something like this:
TacoBot: Hello there. I’m your TacBot. I can help you order a meal for you or your team.
You: Can I order one soft taco (墨西哥煎玉米卷) with beef?
TacoBot: Sounds good. Do you want to keep adding stuff? Maybe some bacon?
Brands like Taco Bell and some tech companies are betting that more and more people will start using this conversational way of interacting online instead of clicking through on-screen menus.
If the trend catches on --- as firms like Facebook and Microsoft expect --- it could transform the digital landscape by allowing smartphone users to find information or make purchases with simple text messages, ignoring apps and search engines. Among the companies already developing or launching chatbots are the Wall Street Journal, CNN and retail giants Sephora and H&M.
“I believe we are headed to a shift where this will become one of the primary ways we interact with the digital world,” says Mark Beccue of Mark Beccue Consulting, who follows trends in the messaging market. “The chat user interface (界面) is what makes sense for a mobile-first world. You can be more specific and be quicker.”
Messaging services have become a natural place for chatbots to reside (居住), since their usage is growing: at least 1.4 billion people used a messaging app last year. According to Business Insider Intelligence, messaging apps have overtaken the largest social networks in the world.
The messaging service Kik meanwhile launched its own “bot shop”, with partners including retailers and game developers. Kik said the move was a response to the trend people using fewer apps and spending more time on chat platforms. “There’s nothing to download, no new registration required, and you can use an interface you’re already familiar with: chat,” Kik said in a statement.
However, some analysts remain skeptical on chatbots as the wave of the future. Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research said the movement is largely driven by Microsoft and Facebook, two firms which would like a greater presence in mobile even though they don’t control the biggest smartphone operating systems. “There’s a lot of hype (炒作) around chatbots,” Dawson said.
Artificial intelligence has come a long way with systems like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana, but still cannot deal with all possible situations, says Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates. “There’s a kind of hubris (自大) that someone could expand the one-to-many communication method to every human interaction,” Kay said.
【1】Why does the author mention the smartphone text exchange at the beginning?
A. To indicate that more and more people begin to hate ordering food by clicking online.
B. To reflect that Taco Bell is turning to a new sales method to compete in the market.
C. To inform the readers of a convenient way to purchase what they want online.
D. To show that chatbot will become more and more popular among people.
【2】We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. using chatbots has been a main way we interact with the digital world
B. messaging apps still haven’t taken the place of social networks at present
C. people could use chatbots by downloading messaging apps on the Internet.
D. Microsoft thinks that tech companies should no longer develop search engines.
【3】The messaging service Kik launched its own “bot shop” for the following reasons EXCEPT that _____.
A. more and more people tend to use fewer apps
B. chatbots are more convenient to use than some apps
C. some tech companies have developed their own chatbots
D. people are accustomed to chatting in an interactive way
【4】Jan Dawson thinks that regarding chatbots as the wave of the future is _____.
A. ambitious B. commercial C. ridiculous D. theoretical
