For many years, people have been worried that one day, robots could take their jobs. Now, it【小题1】 (seem) that it may start happening.

ChatGPT is 【小题2】 AI chatbot, which is the fastest-growing app based on a【小题3】 (power) language processing model. It had 100 million active users just two months after 【小题4】 (it) start. Experts started to worry that the latest chatbots could harm the careers (事业) of anyone who works with information, does research or writes reports. Chatbots are very creative, and can do things that we thought only humans could do. So an increasing number【小题5】 users see this as a business chance. They will start using a chatbot as a staff member that may【小题6】 (compare) to a newly employed graduate in terms of its ability to think. Chatbots work very fast, without 【小题7】 (request) a break or pay, and for business people, that’s 【小题8】 (extreme) important. Some UK law companies have already realized it 【小题9】 started using chatbots to write legal (法律的) letters or provide ideas for legal matters.

However, one of the biggest 【小题10】 (problem) with ChatGPT is that it doesn’t know the actual truth about the world — it simply learns information from various resources (资源) but cannot decide on its own what is true or false.

A Japanese company has just invented Pepper, a human-like robot. It has arms and hands, but has no legs. Pepper can speak 17 languages and 【小题1】 (have) a display (显示器) on its chest, in which you can type in many different 【小题2】 (command). The robot’s artificial intelligence system can read different kinds of human emotions. It can also read, answer questions and respond 【小题3】the feeling of people.

Pepper gets its information from 【小题4】 series of cameras, as w ell as facial and voice recognition software. It 【小题5】 (connect) to the Internet w here it gets information from a database. Special safety features make it almost impossible for the software 【小题6】 (crash). Pepper is a learning robot that becomes better and better in recognizing human 【小题7】 (behave).

The market demand for robots is growing and because of its 【小题8】 (rapid) aging population, Japan is one of the 【小题9】 (large) markets in the world.   【小题10】many companies have been creating robots for various purposes, very little has been done to get robots to work on the emotional level. Pepper is the first machine that can do just that .

Modern-day robots are programmed to handle tasks that are normally carried out by humans. They are faster and 【小题1】 (accurate) than human workers and never ask 【小题2】 a pay rise or take breaks! Robots are also able to work in dangerous situations.

Researchers at the University of Arkansas in the United States say that the mobile robots which 【小题3】(create) already are ideal for the job of hospital attendants. These mobile robots store a 【小题4】(detail) map of the hospital in their memory. The robots’ sensors can detect 【小题5】(barrier) and quickly get out of the way. Although these robots cannot go up and down stairs, they know how 【小题6】(press) a button of an elevator.

Researchers at a Massachusetts’ university are creating the first robot 【小题7】 can constantly change its shape according to the task it has to do. These robots are called polymorphic robots. “Polymorphic” means 【小题8】 ability to take different forms. A 3D printer is placed inside the robot to create the desired shape. The entire process of changing forms in this manner is called the rapid printing technology which is 【小题9】(fair) common in the car industry to produce complex 3D structures quickly. Once the robot has performed its task, it can be melted down 【小题10】 recycled into another useful part by the 3D printer.
