25、What 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 programs that can play chess, drive cars and solve difficult math problems.

But what about creative works? Most art, music and poetry are created with emotion（情绪）. And yet, we have indeed created AI that can produce creative works.

In October, 2018, Cristine’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 million yuan. What made it so special? The fact is that it was drawn by an AI program written by Obvious, a group of artists in Paris, according to Artnet News.

AI has entered the world of poetry as well. In April, 2018, Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote an AI program that uses pictures to write poems. The AI looks at colors and shapes in a picture and uses this information to write a poem quickly. Five hundred human judges 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 like 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 unable to feel. As the famous poet Amy Lowell once said, “Art is the desire（渴望）of a man to express himself and to record the reactions of his character to the world he lives in.”

【3】According to the passage,we can infer that _______.

A．AI has entered the world of poetry as well

B．AI can perform quite well in creating works of art

C．a common painting drawn by AI was sold at a good price

D．AI programs can do all the things as humans do

【4】The author mentioned the idea of the famous poet Amy Lowell to _______.

A．explain why AI can’t take the place of humans’ role in the works of art

B．show AI can create true art because it is able to feel emotion

C．tell the difference between AI and humans in the creative world

D．worry about humans’ role in the creative world
