A growing number of people are using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (人工智能) program to create books for sale. Although sales have so far been slow, human writers are worried that ChatGPT-created books might hurt the writing and publishing industry.

Brett Schickler is a salesman in Rochester, New York. Until recently, he never imagined he could be an writer. But after learning about the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program, Schickler found that he had a good chance.

“The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible,” said Schickler, “and I thought I could do this.”

Using the AI software, Schickler created his first book a 30-page children’s e-book in a few hours. He sold it online and made less than $100. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to make him want to create other books using the software.

“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 as of mid-February that say ChatGPT is a writer or co-writer. And the number is rising daily. But due to the nature of ChatGPT and many writers’ failure to admit (承认) that they have used it, it is nearly impossible to get a full count of how many e-books may be written by AI.

Some professional writers are becoming worried about the effects that ChatGPT could have on the book publishing industry. Mary Rasenberger is the director 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 authors are going to be out of work.”

文章大意:本文讲述了在杭州的一个茶园里,浙江理工大学研发的智能采茶机器人首次投入使用。

【推荐2】Spring is here, and it is time to enjoy West Lake Longjing tea. Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now some Longjing tea is being picked by metal workers—tea-picking robots!

In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Soi-Tech University sell to work for the first time. “We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize the buds it needs to pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, Party branch secretary (党支部书记) of the research team. This lets the robot find about 90 percent of the right tea buds.

The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved ínto a special box. After the robot gathers all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects.

The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. “Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu , who leads the research team. “Tea-picking robots are a trend (趋势) of the future,” said Wu. “In about five years, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.
