Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready. Robots are about to come into our classroom. From Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything
I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does.Each student is different, and a teacher can try his best to make every student understood.
Sara says: Schools should spend money training(培训) human teachers. A study shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded(录制的) conversations on the computer.
Keiko says: I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction(互动). After all, robots cannot think as humans do.
Hassan says: Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should replace(代替) teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings.

[外文原味新素材|AI聊天机器人ChatGPT]Type in "A cat wants to go to space" and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you'll get the story of a cat called Max. He goes through many difficulties to sing among the stars.

The robot is trained using words from the Internet, so it can also pick up on the Internet's biases(偏见) about certain groups. These are all the things that humans need to solve.
