[00:00.04]A Swiss radio station recently carried out a social experiment
[00:05.96]on air, testing robot-created content and voicing.
[00:12.32]The 13-hour experiment took place
[00:15.84]on the French-language station Couleur 3.
[00:20.40]During the period, listeners heard the cloned voices
[00:25.16]of five human presenters.
[00:28.08]The station's programming also included music
[00:32.32]created by artificial intelligence (AI) methods.
[00:38.44]The programming informed listeners
[00:41.48]about the experiment every 20 minutes.
[00:45.28]"AI is taking your favorite radio by storm," a voice said.
[00:51.72]"Our clones and AI are here to unsettle,
[00:56.08]surprise and shake you. And for that matter,
[01:00.24]this text was also written by a robot."
[01:04.24]Recent AI developments have led to the creation
[01:08.64]of a series of tools that permit robots
[01:12.44]to lead different human activities.
[01:15.76]These tools belong to a group of systems
[01:19.60]known as "generative AI."
[01:23.04]The tools use machine learning methods
[01:26.36]to train AI systems on huge amounts of data
[01:31.04]to produce human-quality results.
[01:35.04]One of the most highly publicized generative AI tools
[01:40.12]is called ChatGPT.
[01:43.28]It received wide attention by demonstrating the ability
[01:48.20]to quickly produce written answers to questions
[01:52.36]at a level and quality similar to humans.
[01:57.00]The development of generative AI systems
[02:00.80]has led to some criticism of the technology.
[02:05.68]Critics have warned that such systems,
[02:09.56]if used incorrectly,
[02:11.76]could cause economic, cultural and social harms.
[02:17.16]The Swiss station's chief, Antoine Multone,
[02:21.40]told The Associated Press that Couleur 3
[02:25.72]was able to carry out the experiment
[02:28.92]because it is already known
[02:31.52]for doing "provocative" things.
[02:34.40]Multone defended the project as a lesson
[02:38.28]on how to live with AI.
[02:41.16]"I think if we become ostriches ...
[02:44.36]we put our heads in the sand and say, ‘Mon Dieu,
[02:48.56]there's a new technology! We're all going to die!'
[02:53.04]then yeah, we're going to die
[02:55.28]because it (AI) is coming,
[02:58.32]whether we like it or not," Multone said by phone.
[03:03.28]"We want to master the technology
[03:06.16]so we can then put limits on it."
[03:09.76]Station officials said it took three months to train the AI
[03:15.08]to understand the needs of the station
[03:18.48]and learn the special requirements of its programming.
[03:23.32]Music that aired during the experiment
[03:26.60]was completely or mostly created by AI methods.
[03:32.68]Multone claimed that was a world's first for a radio station.
[03:38.84]The experiment included human-sounding robot voices
[03:43.40]providing false short news stories
[03:46.56]meant to be too futuristic to be believed.
[03:50.96]These included a story about a temporary ban
[03:55.32]on spaceship flights over Geneva
[03:58.56]because of noise complaints.
[04:01.48]Another informed about the opening of the first
[04:05.16]underwater restaurant in Lake Zurich,
[04:08.76]while another told about visitors
[04:11.44]from outer space coming to Switzerland.
[04:15.20]Multone admitted there was a lot of discussion
[04:18.96]among employees about whether to go through
[04:22.72]with the experiment.
[04:25.00]He said he would have been willing to stop the project
[04:29.16]if his team was not fully supportive.
[04:33.16]The station said in a statement
[04:36.04]it received hundreds of messages
[04:38.96]on the day of the experiment,
[04:41.56]with some supporting and others opposing.
[04:45.80]One person complained of unfunny jokes.
[04:49.64]Another listener admitted
[04:51.76]to not recognizing the programming as an experiment.
[04:56.40]One critic called the project a waste of time
[05:00.56]for a station that gets public financing.
[05:04.60]Multone said about 90 percent of listener reactions
[05:09.60]suggested the experiment was a good idea.
[05:14.08]But many said they found the human element missing.
[05:19.12]Many listeners noted, "You can sense these are robots,
[05:23.84]and there are fewer surprises, less personality.'"
[05:28.76]Multone said some listeners were even more forceful,
[05:33.16]urging station officials to "‘give us back our humans!'"

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
