What is it that makes us different from machines? We have created AI(人工智能) programs that can do many of the same things we can. There are software (软件) programs that can play (象棋), drive cars and solve difficult math problems.
But what about creative works? Most art, music and poetry are inspired by emotion (情感). And yet, we have indeed created AI that can produce creative works.
In (十月), 2018, Christie's famous auction (拍卖) house auctioned off a painting named Portrait of Edmond de Bellamy. The painting is not very outstanding. But it was sold for $432, 500, about 3 (百万) yuan. What made it so special? The fact is that it was (画) by an AI program written by Obvious, a group of (艺术家) in Paris, according to Artnet News.
AI has entered the world of poetry as well. In April, 2018, Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote (一套) AI program that uses images to write poems. The AI looks at colors and shapes in an image and uses this information to write a poem (快地). Five hundred human judges (评委) were asked whether they could tell if the poems were written by a human or a computer. Forty percent of the judges mistakenly thought the poems were written by a human, according to MIT Technology Review.
But if AI can learn to create works of art (像) these, what place do humans have in the creative world? The difference is that true art is almost always an expression of emotion — something that AI is still (不能的) to feel. As the famous poet Amy Lowell once said, "Art is the desire of a man to express (他自己), to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in"
