Computer-generated writing will never replace the human kind.
Many people will be familiar with __31__ writing through two features of G-mail. Smart Reply offers brief answers to routine emails. More strikingly, Smart Compose Kicks in as you write, suggesting endings to your sentences. Both are not only provided in perfect English; they often weirdly seem to have guessed what you want to say.
The New Yorker's John Seabrook recently described a more powerful version of this technology, called GPT - 2, which _32_ his magazine's style. Such systems use a digital network of billions of artificial \（神经元）with virtual \
The metaphor of the brain is _33_, but \（引导）.The system is merely making some statistical guesses about which words follow which in a New Yorker - style sentence. At a simple level, imagine beginning an email with \reasonably guess that the next word will be \： GPT - 2 makes _34_ of the same sort.
What fails computers is creativity. They cannot conceive a topic or goal on their own, much less plan how to get there with logic and style. At various points, readers can see how GPT - 2 would have carried on writing Mr Sea-brook's piece for him ... The prose gives then impression of being human.

Meaningless prose is not only the preserve of artificial intelligence. There is already a large quantity of writing that seems to make sense, but ultimately doesn't, at least to a majority of readers. In 1996 Alan Sokal famously submitted an article to a humanities journal, with ideas that were complete nonsense but with language that _36_ imitated fashionable post - modernist academic prose. It was accepted. Humans already produce language that is lacking in meaning, _37_ and otherwise.
But to truly write, you must first have something to say. Computers do not. They await instructions. Given input, they provide output. Such systems can be _38_ with a topic, or the first few paragraphs, and be told to \： While the result may be grammatical English, this should not be _39_ with the purposeful kind. To compose meaningful essays, the _40_ of GPT - 2 will first have to be integrated with databases of real - world knowledge. III. Reading Comprehension Section A
