26、n flight expressed microscopically(微观地)through sculpting a sole flight feather came about by chance. Orr explains: “One day my daughter asked for some pheasants feathers. It made me look at them and see how beautiful they were and I thought what a waste not to create something with them.”Having had

27、his 10% of inspiration, Orr now had to go through 90% of perspiration(汗水)to find a way to work with feathers.

34、thers into different art works.Theres a new AI bot in town: ChatGPT, and youd better pay attention, even if you arent into artificial intelligence. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can accomplish. You can ask

35、it countless questions and often will get an answer thats useful. For example, you can ask it encyclopedia questions like, “Explain Newtons laws of motion.” You can tell it, “Write me a poem,” and when it does, say, “Now make it more exciting.” You ask it to write a computer program thatll show you

The answers you get may sound reasonable and even authoritativ

39、e, but they might well be entirely wrong, as OpenAI warns. Sometimes, helpfully, itll specifically warn you of its own shortcomings. For example, when I asked it who wrote the phrase “the squirming facts exceed the squamous mind,” ChatGPT replied, “Im sorry, but I am not able to browse the internet

40、or access any external information beyond what I was trained on.” (The phrase is from Wallace Stevens 1942 poem Connoisseur of Chaos.)The fact that it offers an answer at all, though, is a notable development in computing.
