[2024·浙江台州十校联盟高二期中联考]
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen.
AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also, the generators have many modification (修改) modes, and the picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them.
So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though AI technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot fully replace humans. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a grey area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI.
Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already penetrating deeply into the lives of human beings.
( )1.Why does the author mention “an elderly man” and “pets” in Paragraph 2
A.To show the popularity of AI art generators.
B.To illustrate the disadvantage of AI art generators.
C.To prove the significance of AI art generators.
D.To present the powerful function of AI art generators.
( )2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.The efficiency of AI art generators.
B.The benefits of AI art generators.
C.The popularity of AI art generators.
D.The functions of AI art generators.
( )3.What is a controversial issue about AI painting besides its copyright
A.Whether human artworks will be replaced by AI artworks.
B.Whom AI artworks will really belong to.
C.Whether human artists are better than AI art generators.
D.How AI painting can play a supportive role.
( )4.What does the underlined part “a grey area” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A.A done deal.
B.A give-and-take attitude.
C.An ill-defined situation.
D.A hard-to-get game.

[2024·浙江台州十校联盟高二期中联考]
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds,
a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears
on screen.
AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet.
In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown
as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into
adorable cartoon girls or boys.

Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually
takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But
with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also,
the generators have many modification (修改) modes, and the
picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he
added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI
art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at
drawing can create great works through them.

So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting In the
hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never
be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their
paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though AI
technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot fully replace
humans. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are
irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus
(共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art.

Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned
money, but it is still a grey area about whether these artworks
belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI.
Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get
together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted
rules as soon as possible because AI is already penetrating
deeply into the lives of human beings.
