• 35．A growing number of people are using ChatGPT，an artificial intelligence （人工智能）program，to create books for sale.
      Until recently，Brett Schickler never imagined he could be a published writer.But after learning about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program，Schickler decided that he had a good chance."The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible，"said Schickler，a salesman in Rochester，New York."I thought I could do this."Using the AI program，Schickler created a 30-page children's e-book in a few hours.He offered it for sale in January through Amazon.
      The e-book，which is named The Wise Little Squirrel：A Tale of Saving and Investing，has made Schickler less than ＄100.While that may not sound like much，it is enough to make him want to create other books using the program."I could see people making a whole career（职业）out of this，"said Schickler.There were over 200 e-books in Amazon's Kindle store that say ChatGPT is a writer or co-writer.And the number is rising daily.But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers'failure to admit（承认）that they have used it，it is nearly impossible to count how many e-books may be written by AI.
      Human writers are worried that ChatGPT-created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.Mary Rasenberger is the CEO of the Authors Guild，a writer's group.She said，"This is something we really need to be worried about，these books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work."
  （1）What is ChatGPT？
  

  
  （2）What are some human writers worried about？
  

  
  （3）Do you think ChatGPT will replace（代替）human writers？Why or why not？
