【推荐1】There is a lot to think about when you make a travel plan. But don’t worry. This article will show you how to make a good one.

Step l: Decide on your budget (预算)

Before you begin to plan a trip, you need to find out how much money you have to spend on your trip. This will help you decide where you can travel to and for how long.

Step 2: Choose a place

If you want to travel but have no idea where to go, you can look at a map. Circle all the cities you want to visit. Then look at other people’s advice online. Once you have decided where to go, you still need to find out: What will the weather be like? Is it a busy season? What can you see and visit?

Step 3: Book (预订) tickets and hotels

You should book your tickets months earlier. You can download (下载) some travel apps and find out which one sells the cheapest tickets. Usually, you should book hotels a few weeks before your trip. You should think about a hotel’s address, cost and safety before booking.

That’s how you make a good travel plan. When you travel, don’t forget that safety is the most important thing!

【推荐1】The new and publicly-available ChatGPT is a type of AI that has been “trained” by looking at over 8 million web pages. When asked a question, ChatGPT uses this training to produce detailed answers that often seem like they were written by a human. You can ask it anything and it will give you answers to not only follow-up questions but also professional questions (although it does sometimes make mistakes). You can also ask it to write text, such as short stories or essays. The technology is so promising (有前途的) that some people believe it will overtake (超过) Google in the near future.

For many years it has been expected that AI will become an important part of our lives, and for just as long there have been concerns (忧虑) of the trouble that AI could cause. In the 20th century, scientists, philosophers and writers sometimes worried that AI would become too powerful. In the short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, a giant supercomputer has killed every human on earth except five people it keeps to torture (折磨). And in the 1984 film The Terminator, a powerful AI called Skynet uses time travel to send a robot into the past to try and kill the mother of a brave and strong fighter. On the other hand, some people were optimistic of advanced technologies’ potential (潜力) to build a better world. In the 1960s TV show Lost in Space, a family of humans were helped by a friendly robot named Robby.

Nowadays, there is less concern of an all-powerful AI trying to destroy the world, and we are not expecting friendly robots just yet. That doesn’t mean there is not a lot of excitement and concern being felt towards new technologies like AI, though. ChatGPT is a great example of a modern technology that is causing mixed feelings.

It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive. So, what do you think? Will ChatGPT be good, bad, or somewhere in between for humankind?
