五、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过6个词)
One day, Ammar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children's book. The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make the illustrations (插图) for the book. Midjourney is a new AI powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.
The book, Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. "Anyone can use these AI tools," Reshi said. "And they're not hard to use."
Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet and then it manages to find patterns (式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission.
"The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists' work," illustrator Adriane Tsai says. "It's our creations, our personal styles, that we did not permit them to use."
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs?
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. At a funny performance club, an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, "It's deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives (替代品) to actual human writing."
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.

5. How do artists and writers feel about the future?
