Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you’re not even sure it’s a face? Or a picture by an unknown artist? What if the artist was a computer?
A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer programme has been sold at the price 432,500 — about ten times more than people expected. This painting, named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence (AI). This means the computer now doesn’t just follow us, but makes some decisions and “thinks itself”.
15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer programme with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn’t look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.
This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. “The work isn’t interesting or creative,” says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn’t like the idea of selling it. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier.
In some other people’s opinion, however, AI art is already unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.
Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn’t worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not an artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up.

三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
你会花数千美元买一幅脸都看不清楚、甚至不确定那是不是一张脸的画吗？或者买一幅不知名艺术家的画？如果艺术家是一台电脑呢？
一幅主要由计算机程序创作的艺术品以432,500美元的价格售出，大约是人们预期价格的十倍。这幅名为《埃德蒙·德·贝拉米》的画是由人工智能（AI）创作的。这意味着现在电脑不仅仅是听从我们的指令，还能做出一些决定并“自主思考”。
一些法国学生用15,000幅真实的画作来训练这个分为两部分的计算机程序。一部分试图创作出看起来真实的画，而另一部分则判断这幅画是否出色。如果这幅画看起来不够真实，第一部分就会改变它的创作决定，直到创作出更好的作品。
这不是第一件人工智能艺术品，只是第一件被出售的。事实上，很多人对这幅画并不感兴趣。“这件作品既无趣也没有创意，”罗比·巴拉特说，他参与了这幅画的创作，但不赞成出售它的想法。他认为这幅画太简单了，而且歪曲了真正的人工智能艺术家的创作。他还补充说，他更早之前就创作了很多类似的画。
然而，在另一些人看来，人工智能艺术已经很不寻常了。他们希望未来人工智能艺术会更常见。
不过，看不起人工智能艺术的人也不必担心。就像人工智能艺术家西奥·特里安塔菲利亚迪斯说的那样，他通常认为人工智能是一种工具，而不是艺术家。即使是当今最优秀的人工智能，也介于一个愚蠢的孩子和一只聪明的宠物之间。它会成长的。
（C）1. 第三段主要讲了什么？
A. 计算机程序能做什么。
B. 计算机程序是由谁训练的。
C. 法国学生是如何训练计算机程序的。
D. 《埃德蒙·德·贝拉米》这幅画被创作的原因。
（C）2. 作者在第四段提到罗比·巴拉特是为了表明 一些人没想到这幅画会被出售。
A. 很多人对这幅画印象深刻
B. 很多人参与了这幅画的创作
C. 一些人没想到这幅画会被出售
D. 大多数人希望人工智能艺术会变得普遍
（B）3. 作者可能如何看待人工智能？
A. 它创作的艺术比人类更好。
B. 它还没有得到很好的发展。
C. 它永远不会受到艺术爱好者的欢迎。
D. 它将永远是人类艺术家使用的工具。
（C）4. 这篇文章的最佳标题可以是 人工智能艺术的现状与未来。
A. 人工智能技术与人工智能艺术
B. 世界上第一幅由人工智能创作的画
C. 人工智能艺术的现状与未来
D. 第一件被出售的计算机创作的艺术品
