- Could you please help correct some mistakes, if any, in my essay? Thanks a lot! Topic: With the development of AI, will intelligent machines make our brain regress? Could you please help correct some awkward uses or incorrect expressions in my essay? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years artificial intelligence has been advancing at a breathless pace, a trend that has triggered debate about the implications it may have. As it continues to grow, so does unease about its might. Perhaps one of the most decisive issues related to this fast-growing technology is the impact on human brains. Decried as problematic and corrosive by some, however, it is also defended by others as essential for human progress. It is true that AI has made a dramatic difference to human life and enhanced human endeavor by complementing what humans understand but struggle to handle. One notable example is deep learning, a system that can teach computers to perform tasks, from pattern recognition to translation, even better than its human counterparts. But it is equally true that this capacity is narrow and specific, however competent and advanced machines are. Take Microsoft’s real-time translation. Tones of voice, cultural references, idioms, and humor have proved a stumbling block to the accuracy when it comes to the nature of languages understood by humans only. Moreover, machines do not yet have anything approaching the wide, fluid ability to infer, judge and decide that is inextricably linked with intelligence in the conventional human sense. Consider, for instance, the rise of self-driving cars. A car that drives itself better than its owner sounds like a boon; a car with its own ideas about where to go, less so. Overall, although the benefits of the AI boom, such as machine learning and algorithms capable of understanding languages or recognizing images abound, claims that technology will spell the end of human brains are premature. Rather, far from replacing human minds, it is instead a tool that helps them keep up with surging demand for more important types of thinking to survive and thrive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks again!February 23, 201820
<font style="background-color: yellow;">1在城市生活好,还是在农村生活更好?</font>
<font style="background-color: yellow;">2在我们生活中住的地方非常重要。</font>有的人喜欢在城市生活,<font style="background-color: yellow;">3有的在农村</font>。萝卜白菜,各有所爱!
每当到暑假的时候,我都<font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>等不及</strike></font><font style="background-color: yellow;">迫不及待地</font>去我奶奶家休息休息。她住在<font style="background-color: yellow;">4一个俄罗斯的农村</font>。<font style="background-color: yellow;">5我记得那里的大自然很漂亮</font>。附近有<font style="background-color: yellow;">6干干净净的河,</font><font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>河水非常清。</strike></font>清得可以看见河低底的水草和小鱼。要是我们想采蘑菇和野果,就去森林。我们一边<font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>菜</strike></font>采,一边聊聊天。不但环境很好,而且空气很干净清新。<font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>吃的</strike></font>东西很好吃也很鲜!对身体<font style="background-color: yellow;">很</font>有好处的。没有什么健康更重要!
<font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>但是现在很多人住在大城市。它给我们好机会赚钱</strike></font><font style="background-color: yellow;">但是现在很多人依旧住在大城市,因为大城市有更多赚钱的好机会</font>,还有很多医院、商店、饭馆公园等等。尽管住在城市很方便,但是空气污染<font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>。这</strike></font>是个<font style="background-color: yellow;">关系到所有人</font>的大问题。所以我们必须要保护环境!<font style="background-color: yellow;">
</font><font style="background-color: yellow;">1=>在城市生活和农村生活,哪种生活更好?</font> This would sound better. In Chinese we normally use "A or B, which is better?" to make comparisons and raise questions.
<font style="background-color: yellow;">2=>在生活中,我们居住的环境非常重要。</font> “住的地方”sounds more like an informal speech, inappropriate for the style of writing. ^_^
<font style="background-color: yellow;">3=>有的喜欢农村。</font> We usually don't omit verbs in a sentence where there are 2 objects followed by one verb.
<font style="background-color: yellow;">4=>俄罗斯的一个村庄里。</font> It is a better way of expressing such a meaning, because “农村”is a collective noun.
<font style="background-color: yellow;">5=>那里的自然环境很漂亮。</font> “大自然很漂亮”sounds a little strange. “自然环境”would be more specific.
<font style="background-color: yellow;">6=>清澈的</font> We use “清澈的”to describe lakes or rivers.
Nice work!0 votedFebruary 23, 20182
