7 . If you say “A cat wants to go to space” and ask a robot to write a bedtime story, just one second later, you’ll get the story of a cat called Max. He goes through many difficulties to sing among the stars.

This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company Open AI made it. It can talk with people, write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI writers.

ChatGPT can write things really fast. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can write a good one in seconds. But if you ask harmful questions such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer.

ChatGPT comes along at a time (when AI can do many creative tasks). The things they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This brings many problems, such as the definition (定义) of art. The robot is trained (训练) using words from the Internet, so it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases (偏见) about certain groups. These are all the things that humans need to solve.
