29．No artist required
One day，Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT，a computer program using artificial intelligence （AI） to copy the way human beings think and write.Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children's book.The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot，about a girl called Alice.And then he used another AI program，Midjourney，to make illustrations （插图） for the book.Midjourney is a new AI powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork，like pictures.
The book，Alice and Sparkle，was done in just a couple of days. "Anyone can use these AI tools，" Res his aid. "And they're not hard to use."
Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished.Heated argument about it started at once.Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness.But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book.Among them，artists were especially critical of it.They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem.Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet.And then it manages to find patterns （式样） in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns.Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy.But Midjourney could be using their work without permission （允许） .
"The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists' work，" illustrator Adriane Tsai says. "It's our creations，our personal styles，that we did not permit them to use."
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future.Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs？
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent.The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker.At a funny performance club，an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud.Journalist Abraham Riesman said， "It's deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives （替代品） to actual human writing."
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools.He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.
（1）What is Midjourney？
（2）How did Reshi make a children's book？
（3）What did people think of Reshi's book？
（4）Why are many artists and writers nervous about the future？
（5）Do you think it is a good idea to use AI programs in the process of creation？Why or why not？ （请自拟一句话作答）组卷：32引用：2难度：0.5
