At the beginning of 2023, a computer programme called ChatGPT has become a hot topic and swept the world very quickly. It was developed by a company called OpenAI. So what is ChatGPT, exactly?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) based on a language model, the GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer). It’s a tool that allows users to enter words or sentences and receive new human-like text, pictures, or videos made by the AI. This text-based tool can produce many wonderful responses to different kinds of requests people make, from a poetry in the style of William Shakespeare to advice on what to do for a child’s birthday party. It requires deep learning technique to make human-like responses.
ChatGPT is powered by a large language model, LLM. It can understand human language and create responses based on large amount of data. GPT-4, an updated one, is one of the largest and most powerful language AI models to date. What’s exciting is that the responses are more and more human-like, so what we’re seeing is the things that we did not think computers could do before. The more information we provide, the better responses we can get.
The tool is popular also because it’s so easy to use. No other AI application has achieved the kind of influence that ChatGPT has. The chatbot got 1 million new users in five days after it came out. By January, ChatGPT had got 100 million active users in only two months, making it the fastest-growing one in history. It took TikTok nine months to reach 100 million users. Chinese tech giant Baidu made a similar one called Ernie Bot.

Rachel could be there because of a new technology called Facemail lets you send in a funny way. By using it, your e-mails can be read to the receiver by an attractive person or by a clown. You can download the software at www.Facemail.com without paying. Facemail faces are lively and they can simulate the emotions that you put in you text. For example, type in
, and Rachel blows a kiss.
LifeFX, the company that developed the Facemail, is sure there are wide business uses. Why is e-business not so popular now? One of the reasons is that buying online has no human touch. But if you go to the Nike website, and the famous basketball star Michael Jordan greets you by name, serves you, and personally closes the sale, won't you be happy? Also, if mom can't be home when kids get back from school, she can leave a note with a voice and picture on the screen to tell them what there is to eat.
It's true that Facemail makes life easy and fun, but it should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you choose the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got a Psycho mail.

The 52-year-old founder of Alibaba warned that robots will bring far more pain than happiness in the next 30 years. But he added that artificial intelligence(人工智能) will finally improve our everyday lives in the future.
Ma, who is worth $28.4 billion, said that improvement in technology will make CEOs unimportant within the next 30 years.
“In 30 years, a robot will likely be on the cover of Time Magazine as the best CEO” Ma said in a speech at an entrepreneurship(创业) meeting. He said that robots would get the world’s top jobs because they are “quicker and more rational(理性的)” than humans. He added that they would be fitter for CEOS because they won’t be influenced by their emotions, such as getting annoyed with their competitors.
He also warned that the world is not yet ready for the changes that will be brought by the invention of robots. He pointed out that schools must teach children to be more creative to deal with the rise of artificial intelligence. Ma compared the coming wide use of robots to the rise of the Internet in the 90s.

【推荐3】In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier (供应商) of 5G.
But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ¥20,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic (浪漫的) as you imagine.”
Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2020. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

【推荐2】Puberty (青春期) is the stage of life when young people leave childhood and head into the life as adults. It is a difficult process for teenagers because it has an influence on both their minds and bodies. They need to understand what is going on with their bodies, how to deal with those changes and how to start taking responsibility for themselves.
A young person may begin puberty at 8, while another may not start puberty until 14 or 15. In general, girls start puberty two years before boys do. For both girls and boys, it is usually complete by the age of 18. During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feelings can also change quickly.
Teenage boys at this stage often begin to take unnecessary risks. Their focus is on having fun and being accepted by others. So they spend much time building up their social circles and pay tons of attention to their outside appearance rather than the inner world. That’s why it’s strongly advised that they need to think before they act and make good decisions for themselves.
A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer certain about their own feelings. Yet they are usually afraid to tell their parents or teachers about their problems. For this reason, teenage girls should be encouraged to talk about things with trusted adults.
Parents, schools and communities can actually do a lot to care for and help young people. It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that young people grow into healthy adults.

Hey! The people of the Earth! Can you hear this radio message? Don’t be afraid! We come in peace from another planet. We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. You will recognize us when we meet.
You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Our ancestors and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.
Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save them. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.
They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.
For millions of summers —there were no winters in those ancient days —the Earth had rapid development. But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. They believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.
The looks of many of our ancestors started to change. Many newborns were born with long wings and could fly fast. Some people were immune to (对……免疫) the ‘disease’. As a result, within a few centuries, the world split into two groups — almost two species (人种). The two groups were jealous (嫉妒) of each other. Finally, a world war broke out. Meanwhile, the temperatures were even lower. In the end, some people escaped from the Earth.
We wanted to keep in touch with those who chose to stay on the Earth, but we failed. A few years ago, we happened to know that many of you had survived (幸存). We picked up your radio signals and found that you had long been living a peaceful life. Now, we are coming to greet you, our long-lost relatives. It’s time for our reunion! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
