“I tried t balance bth my studies and the peratins f the cmpany— frm cllecting raw material, helping wrkers t prduce bags, t delivering the prducts in the market,” Mhiuddin tld The Better India. “I used t sleep in a crner in the factry.” Overcming bankruptcy（破产）, university studies, and lng-term unfinished rders, Mhiuddin’s startup cmpany finally started t make prfits, and tday prduces almst 500,000 bags per year, with a ttal revenue f$ 180,000．

Fantasy authr Gerge Martin has spent 12 years wrking n The Winds f Winter, the lng-awaited sixth part in the series that excited the bk fans. With n publishing date in sight, ne fan decided t write the stry himself, r rather, he asked ChatGPT t write it fr him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly prduced a 683,276-wrd wrk f high quality. But this raises an imprtant questin whether AI prgrams like ChatGPT really prduce the kind f writing that mves us and speaks t ur suls.
“There is a misunderstanding that large language mdels are nt gd at writing in an artistic style,” an authr Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can d it easily and quite well, just like all the image-generating（生成）sftware can make phts in the styles f Wes Andersn r David Lynch.”
Fr his nvel D Yu Remember Being Brn, in which a pet is apprached by a tech cmpany t cauthr a cllectin f pems with their AI, Michaels created a special type f ChatGPT he called “Mrebt”, which thrugh training learned t write in the style f real-wrld pet Marianne Mre, further making the distinctin（区分）between human and machine unclear.
Althugh sme writers ppse the rise f AI ut f cncern fr their jbs, thers have put the debate in an lder, brader dialgue n the meaning and purpse f art. The Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has penly expressed his dislike f machine learning. Lking beynd the standard definitin f creativity — creating smething new and riginal — Kaufman describes art as any frm f expressin that establishes an emtinal cnnectin between peple.
Even if AI were capable f writing smething emtinal, which Michaels claimed it can, Kaufman wuld refuse t recgnise this as art. “If I read a pem,” he recently said in a statement nAI, “and that pem mves me. I am in lve with the persn wh wrte it. I can’t be in lve with a cmputer prgram. I can’t, because it isn’t anything.”
28．Why is the stry f the bk fan tld?
A．T shw the ppularity f the series.B．T intrduce an imprtant questin n AI.
C．T aruse cncern abut human writers.D．T prve the writing efficiency f ChatGPT.
29．What are paragraph 2 and 3 mainly abut?
A．The way that AI writing wrks.B．A misunderstanding f ChatGPT.
C．An example in favur f AI creatin.D．The writing methds f Michael’s nvel.
30．Which can be cnsidered as art accrding t Charlie Kaufman?
A．A prgram-generated nvel.B．A perfect cpy f Wes Andersn’s.
C．An emtinal pem by ChatGPT.D．A girl’s drawing t her mum.
31．What can be the best title f the text?
A．Can AI Create True Art?B．ChatGPT: Greatest Writer Ever?
C．The Rise and Fall f AI Prgrams.D．Can Hi-Tech Have a Prmising Future?

She says her experience makes her mre interested in a jurnalism career, nt less. Her ptimism “cmes frm knwing that peple still need news. They still need infrmatin.”
