[A] Westworid challenges us to consider the difference between being human and being a robot. From the beginning of this new serialisation on HBO we are confronted with scenes of graphic human-on-robot violence. But the robots in Westworid have more than just human-like physical bodies, they display emotion including extreme pain; they see and recognise each other’s suffering; they bleed and even die. What makes this acceptable, at least within West/world’s narrative, is that they are just extremely life-like human simulations; while their behaviour is realistically automated, there is "nobody home".
[B] For a sci-fi fan, fascinated by the nature of human intelligence and the possibility of building life-like robots, it’s always interesting to find a new angle on these questions. As a re-imagining of the original 1970s science fiction film set in a cowboy-themed, hyper-real adult theme park populated by robots that look and act like people, Westworid does not disappoint.
[C] But against these voices are other distinguished experts trying to quell the panic. For Noam Chomsky, the intellectual godfather of modern AI, all talk of matching human intelligence in the foreseeable future remains fiction, not science. One of the world’s best-known roboticists, Rodney Brooks has called on us to relax: AI is just a tool, not a threat.
[D] But from the start, this notion that a machine of such complexity is still merely a machine is undermined by constant reminders that they are also so much like us. The disturbing message, echoing that of previous sci-fi classics, such as Blade Runner and AI, is that machines could one day be so close to human as to be indistinguishable—not just in intellect and appearance, but also in moral terms.
[E] Virtually, we are far from being able to replicate human intelligence in robot form. Our current systems are too simple, probably by several orders of magnitude. Building human-level AI is extremely hard; as Brooks says, we are just at the beginning of a very long road. But I see the path along which we are developing AI as one of symbiosis, in which we can use robots to benefit society and exploit advances in artificial intelligence to boost our own biological intelligence.
[F] At the same time, by presenting an alternate view of the human condition through the technological mirror of life-like robots, Westworid causes us to reflect that we are perhaps also just sophisticated machines, albeit of a biological kind—an idea that has been forcefully argued by the philosopher Daniel Dennett. The unfortunate robots in Westworid have, at least initially, no insight into their existential plight. They enter into each new day programmed with enthusiasm and hope, oblivious to its pre-scripted violence and tragedy. We may pity these automatons for their fate—but how closely does this blinkered ignorance and belief in convenient fictions resemble our own human predicament?
[G] Westworid arrives at a time when people are already worried about the real-world impact of advances in robotics and artificial intelligence. Physicist Stephen Hawking and technologist Elon Musk are among the powerful and respected voices to have expressed concern about allowing the AI genie to escape the bottle. WestworlaVs contribution to the expanding canon of science fiction dystopias will do nothing to quell such fears. Channelling Shakespeare’s King Lear, a malfunctioning robot warns us in chilling terms: "I shall have such revenges on you both. The things I will do, what they are, yet I know not. But they will be the terrors of the Earth."

选项
答案
C
解析
本段紧接在G之后。G讲述的是悲观派对发展人工智能的恐惧心态,C则为持乐观态度的人对人工智能的看法,二者在语义上构成转折,C开头的But正表达了这一逻辑。此外,C开头的these voices也与G中的the powerful and respected voices相对应,故本题答案选C。E是对人工智能发展现状的说明,以及对人工智能和人类在未来发展的展望,似乎在语义上也能与G衔接。但从E提到的as Brooks says可知,Brook这个人在前文应该已有所提及。综观各段,只有C对Rodney Brook作了简单介绍,可见该人名在C是首次出现,即C应在E之前,故排除E。
