L6 Unit 1-4 Dialogue人工智能和女朋友
Are you having any luck finding a new girlfriend.
No, I’m not. I haven’t found anyone I like. So far, they are all after my money and the fancy lifestyle. What are happened to real love.
I don’t know. The same thought has occurred to me lately. I’m afraid I’m becoming a way of snick.
I was just reading about some robots called AI’s. they have artificial intelligence or AI. Yes, AIs. I’m for about it. and it has been some movies too.
Accidentally, this new AIs can be very attractive companions. What are you thinking about that? You must be kidding. Relating to a smart robot? It sounds sick to me.
I don’t know, maybe not. I wonder what it would be like to have an AI girlfriend. Maybe you can program it to be like your dream like woman.
Adream woman. Well, it’s an interesting idea but hard to imagine or reality. I guess it could be fun for a while but then it would get boring, don’t you think?
For sure, no re . everything can be mechanical and artificial, even the language. It would be a soul inside, just an empty machine.
Well, not necessarily. That’s would depend on how would intelligence it is. There are some who say AI is going be more intelligent than we are.
Emm, I put it that too. In fact, there even be a threat to us, right.
Anyway, if it were possible, would you want a girlfriend you could control.
A woman I could control? No, I can’t imagine it. most of the women I have been with have tried to control me.
Well, there is one of differences between men and women. We see things differently. We never measured up to their standards.
However, if there is real, the bonds between 2 people can be very deep. It may not happen very often but I’ve seen it.
Yes, that’s what I’m looking for. I hope it’s not just a dream.
If that’s what you want, you are probably not going to find her in the bar. Maybe I’ll just let people know I’m looking for someone nice.
Be sure you don’t tell her you’re rich. Maybe I can help you want someone.
You have my permission. And just for fun, I’ll start checking out some of those smart robots. It sounds crazy, but I’m curious.
With all the lonely people out there, it may turn out to be a huge business.

The mysteries of Mona Lisa
Without a doubt, one of the world’s most recognizable pieces of art is the Mona Lisa. Painted in the 16th century by Leonardo da Vinci, it continues to attract crowds of people who are captivated(迷住) by the mysterious woman in the portrait. Her enigmatic(神秘的) smile and penetrating(有洞察力的、穿透的) gaze(凝视) reach out through the ages(穿过岁月) as if she were alive today.
Critics and art lovers still argue about her identity. Once theory is that the way she posed suggests that she was with child. Another theory argues that her hairless face – no brows or lashes(睫毛) – indicates that she was a prostitute. It seems that in 16th century Italy women working in the world’s oldest profession had hairless faces in order to make themselves more sexually arousing. There is, however, evidence that at one time the women in the portrait had thick(浓) eyebrows. Perhaps they were inadvertently(漫不经心地)erased when the painting was cleaned. Nobody knows for sure.
The painting itself has an increasing history. With the death of Leonardo, it went to his friend King Francois 1, and then to Louis XV and the palace of Versailles. It wasn’t until 300 years after its completion that it was recognized as a masterpiece. For a time, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte hung it in his bedroom. Eventually, it found a permanent home when it was added to the collection of the Louvre in Paris. In 1911 it was stolen by a museum employee and 2 accomplices. This theft made the painting famous all over the world. During World War 2 it was taken away and hidden from the Nazis, as were many important works of art. Today the painting resides(居住) at the Louvre, captivating a whole new generation. Whoever she was, the mysteries surrounding the Mona Lisa continue to engage our imaginations.
A story of friendship and love
This is the story of a donkey named Jellybean and a goat named Mr. G. For ten years they lived together on a farm owned by a woman who loved animals but could barely care for herself. She had dozens of animals, but the living conditions for all of them were deplorable(糟糕的). Finally, an animal rescue organization came and took the animals away, relocating them to animal sanctuaries(庇护所).
Throughout their years at the farm, Jellybean and Mr. G had been inseparable. Whenever the donkey was, the goat was never far away. For some reason, they had bonded, and nobody suspected that how strong the bond had become. When Jellybean was taken to a local animal rescue center, Mr. G was moved to a center far away. When he arrived, he refused to eat. Not only
did he refuse to eat, but the refused to get up or move around. He spent his days lying in a corner of the barn, barely lifting his head. The staff at the center tried feeding him treats(喂零食), including apples and sweets, but nothing worked.
As the day went by, he continued to weaken. The staff had to move him physically to ensure he didn’t spend too long lying down. Worried that he was ill, they gave him a series of health examinations, but none showed anything wrong. Finally, they realized that he was depressed and mourning the loss of his best friend.
With his condition getting worse, drastic(极端的) measures were required. A volunteer at the center offered to make the 14-hour round trip journey to fetch Jellybean so the two could be reunited. Once Jellybean arrived and the goat sensed his presence, he rose to his feet, breathed in deeply and rushed to his friend’s side. Shortly after that, he began to eat, moving the entire staff to tears. Such a beautiful reunion was inspiring – an amazing testimonial(证明) to the depth of nonhuman emotions.
Since the video of the reunion was posted on the internet, it has been viewed by millions. And from now on, the 2 friends will remain together.
