2．(学会断句)Millenniumbutterfly，you say/how great it would be/to have self-driving cars，but what about all the taxi drivers/who would lose their jobs

[翻译] _____________________________________________________________
3．(学会断句)I believe/most of the value of AI lies in its capacity/to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data，which means/it can even solve problems/that are too challenging for human experts．

1．(续写佳句)Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant．
因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢某一个餐厅，所以她给我的每一个建议都很棒。
2．(续写佳句)If we're lucky，AI might think we're valuable enough to keep around．If not，it might wipe us all out!
如果幸运的话，人工智能可能会认为我们足够有价值，可以留下来。否则，它可能会扫清我们所有人！
But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history，if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands，it could also be the most dangerous．However，AI is not going to go away．We have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it．One thing I think we all agree on，though，is that saying “My AI did it！” won't be any excuse for illegal or immoral behaviour!
虽然超智能AI可能是人类有史以来的最大飞跃，但如果出错或者落入坏人手中，它同时可能是最危险的。但是，人工智能不会消失。我们别无选择，只能接受它并加以规范。不过，我想大家都认可的一点就是，“这是我的AI做的！”这句话不会成为非法行为或不道德行为的任何借口。
