Nw imagine if yu can (and f curse yu can’t) make smaller ne f thse prtns dwn t a billinth f its nrmal size int a space s small that it wuld make a prtn lk huge. Nw pack int that tiny, tiny space sme matter. Excellent. Yu are ready t start a standard Big Bang universe.
In fact, yu will need t gather up everything there is, every last mte (尘埃) f matter, between here and the edge f creatin and press it int a spt s infinitesimally cmpact (紧密的) that it has n dimensins at all. It is knwn as a singularity.
It is natural but wrng t visualize the singularity as a kind f packed spt hanging in a dark, bundless vid (虚空). There is n space, n darkness. The singularity has n “arund” arund it. We can’t even ask hw lng it has been there-whether it has just lately explded int being, like a gd idea, r whether it has been there frever, quietly awaiting the right mment. Time desn’t exist. There is n past fr it t emerge frm.
And s, frm nthing, ur universe begins with a big “bang”. In a single blinding pulse, a mment f glry “explsin” much t rapid and expansive fr any frm f wrds, the singularity assumes( 显露出) heavenly dimensins, space beynd cnceptin. Within a secnd gravity is prduced and then the ther frces that gvern physics. In less than a minute the universe is a millin billin miles acrss and grwing fast. There is a lt f heat nw, ten billin degrees f it, enugh t begin the nuclear reactins that create the lighter elements—principally hydrgen, helium and a little lithium (锂). In three minutes, 98 percent f all the matter there is r will ever be has been prduced. We have a universe. It is a place f the mst wndrus and gratifying pssibility, and beautiful, t. And it was all dne in abut the time it takes t make a sandwich.

The iPhne has becme a usability nightmare (噩梦). A new ne cmes with 38 preinstalled (提前装好的) apps, f which yu can delete 27. Once yu’ve dwnladed yur favrite apps, yu’re nw sitting at 46 r mre.
Like many cmpanies, Apple has decided that there’s n need t build an easy-t-use prduct when it can use artificial intelligence. If yu want t find smething in their garbage dump f apps and ptins, yu must use Sptlight, Apple’s AI-pwered search engine that can find almst everything there.
This “innvatin” f artificial intelligence is nt the creatin f smething new but simply cmpanies selling yu back basic usability after decades f messy design chices. And these tech firms are charging us mre t fix their mistakes and slapping an AI label as a slutin.
Alexa and Siri have becme replacements fr intentinal cmputing. They give cmmands int vice interfaces (接口) easily but sacrifice “what we can d” t “what Amazn r Apple allws us t d.” We have been trained t keep apps and files, while tech cmpanies have failed t prvide any easy way t rganize them. They have decided that disrganized chas is fine as lng as they can prvide an autmated search prduct t sift (筛查) thrugh the mess, smething mre tech, even if tech created the prblem in the first place.
Artificial intelligence-based user interfaces rb the user f chice and empwer tech giants t cntrl their decisin-making. When ne searches fr smething in Siri r Alexa, Apple and Amazn cntrl the results. Ggle already prvides vastly different search results based n yur lcatin, and has redesigned search itself multiple times t trick users int clicking links that benefit Ggle in sme way.
Depressingly, ur future is becming ne where we must chse between asking an artificial intelligence fr help, r fighting thrugh an ever-increasing amunt f prly designed menus in the hpe we might be able t help urselves. We, as cnsumers, shuld demand mre frm the cmpanies that have turned ur digital lives int trillin-dllar enterprises.
12. Why des the authr mentin Apple’s prblem?
A. As the main tpic.B. As the mdel.
C. As an example.D. As a sharp cntrast.
13. What can we knw abut Alexa and Siri?
A. They are bth Apple’s search prducts.
B. They help cnsumers make their wn chices.
C. They have bettered the user experience greatly.
D. They wrk t the benefits f tech giants behind.
14. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the technlgical giants’ AI-slutin?
A. Uncertain.B. Disapprving.C. Unclear.D. Uncncerned.
15. The authr writes this article t ask readers t _____.
A. abandn using artificial intelligence
B. abandn using prducts frm tech giants
