22、Nick Vujicic is a great speaker, born in Melbourne, Australia on the 4th of December, 1982. He has no arms and legs. There is no medical explanation for it. In school, he was the first disabled child to be integrated into the Australian school system. He was laughed at, avoided and not included on purpose from games. At age 6, Nick tried some prosthetics (假肢) but they were more of restriction than aid because they limited his movement. Apparently, he had learnt how to do some things without them. Unfortunately, he severely battled with depression at age 8. He felt he would always be a burden for the rest of his life. These thoughts made his prospects in life as a fantasy. He just had one desire arms and legs, that's all.
At age 10, though his home was a refuge from the external storms, he couldn't manage to deal with the rejections he faced outside. Then he tried to drown himself but the love he had for his parents discouraged him from doing so. Nick had his Bachelor's degree in commerce at Griffith University. One day, his mum noticed his situation affected his life and decided to show him a newspaper article that featured a man that had a severe disability, much more than Nick's.
From that moment on. Nick Vujicic became grateful for life. He also said he found peace after he got his relationship with himself. Although he couldn't make some things happen easily, he believed it was not what you had but what you did with it. Therefore, he frequently tells himself he is not afraid to fail or try again. Today, He writes up to 43 words per minute, can throw tennis balls, play the drums, get a glass of water and also answer a phone call.

23、It all started when I typed a perfectly reasonable prompt (提示词)into one of several apps on the market that can create an image based on text. “Skull space laser dinosaur starship explosion, ” I wrote. The app processed for a few seconds, and returned four images, one of which was strangely accurate: a dinosaur-looking skull screamed out of an empty space, trailing fire. Text-to-image AIs identify images by looking at the text that people have used to describe those pictures online. When the app got my prompt, it studied images that random people had described as “dinosaur” or laser and soon then used what is called a diffusion model (扩散模型) to add a bunch of random chaos to those pictures. Once they were suitably completed, it “upscaled” them, removing noise and sharpening focus. Its work is so good that an artist using it recently won first place for digital images at the Colorado State Fair.
But there is the question of all the other pictures online that are being transformed into AI-generated masterpieces. As many artists have pointed out, their works are being used without payment. The image-generating algorithm (算法) creates illustrations and even movies by using data sets stocked with art stolen from artists who post their works online.
Some AI researchers argue that their algorithms aren’t stealing from artists so much as learning from them just as human artists learn from each other. But a more ethical approach would be for companies to acknowledge their debt to artists and create a model of voluntary collective licensing, much like what radio stations first did in radio’s early days. Back then, musicians created groups like BMI to collectively license their music to radio stations-then BMI would pay artists based on how often their songs were played. Perhaps artists and art institutions today could form a “collecting society” that would allow companies to license their artwork for data sets.
To create ethical AI systems, we need to acknowledge the people whose work makes those systems so magical. We can’t simply take advantage of every image online - we need humans to manage those data sets and we need to pay them to do it.
【1】What can we learn about Text-to-image Als from the first two paragraphs?
A．They are developed to process pictures.
B．They are used to describe online pictures.

C．the neglect of the artists’ copyright
D．the prospect of artists being replaced
【3】Why did the author mention BMI in Paragraph 4?
A．To introduce the role that BMI played in AI history.
B．To present a way to regulate the use of online pictures.
C．To prove the necessity of licensing music to radio stations.
D．To demonstrate the urgency of forming a collecting society.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．It is not practical to improve the image-generating algorithm.
B．The function of Text-to-image AIs shouldn’t be underestimated.
C．Human efforts should be valued in the application of Text-to-image AIs.
D．Companies should be held responsible for the illegal pictures on public websites.
