(2019·安徽滁州模拟)Machines might one day replace human
laborers in a number of professions, but surely they won't ever replace human artists. Right?
Think again. Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable
machine takeover, if a new development in artificial intelligence by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook's A. I. lab offers a clue of what's to come. They have designed an A. I. capable of not only producing art, but actually inventing whole new aesthetic styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism, reports. The idea, according to researcher Marian Mazzone, was to make art that is “novel, but not too novel.”
The model used in this project involved a generator network,
which produces the images, and a discriminator network, which “judges” whether it's art. Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art, it's given an additional directive: to produce art that doesn't match any known aesthetic styles.
“You want to have something really creative and striking—but
at the same time not go too far and make something that isn't aesthetically(美学地)pleasing，” explained Ahmed Elgammal.
The art that was generated by the system was then presented to
human judges alongside human－produced art without showing which was which. To the researchers' surprise, the machine－made art scored slightly higher overall than the human－produced art.
Of course, machines can't yet replace the meaning that's infused
in works by human artists，but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicatable by machines.
What will it take for machines to produce content that's infused
with meaning? That might be the last A. I. frontier. Human artists can at least hang_their_hats in that field ... for now. “Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask，
‘Who is that by？’ And you say, ‘Well, it's a machine actually’. That would be an interesting conversation starter，” said Kevin Walker. 1. What is implied in the first paragraph? A. Artists won't be replaced by A．I. B. A．I. can produce new styles of art. C. A．I. is totally at a loss about impressionism. D. A．I. fails to reflect abstract expressionism. 2. What did Marian find in his study? A. A．I. can copy the skills of artists. B. A．I. can combine content with meaning. C. A．I. can make art aesthetically unpleasant. D. A．I. can please human judges with its art.
3. What does the underlined phrase “hang their hats” mean? A. Discover. C. Struggle.
B. Hold. D. Survive.
4. What Kevin said in the last paragraph tells us that ________． A. she uses machines to cook for a party B. she likes to join in a dinner party C. she expects the arrival of A．I. D. she cares about the starter of a chat 答案与解析
