At first, Manuel Vera just wanted to do something productive for his neighbors. He posted to an online group in his Silver Spring, Maryland, neighborhood, offering to fix people's bikes for free. All he asked was to be paid for any new parts. “Then I started thinking about all the bikes that people have at home that never get used,” says Vera, 74, who is retired from the local power company. Soon he was asking neighbors to donate any bikes collecting dust in their

garages and basements. Then, in his tidy little backyard shed, he'd get to work.
Vera's workspace is nearly as tricked-out as his bikes. Space is tight, so Vera prefers to work alone—though not for lack of volunteers. Vera fixes the donated bikes and hauls them to parks, food banks and apartment complexes. He camps out with his “Free Bikes” sign and waits for people to wander over. Then he pairs people up with the perfect new ride and watches them pedal away happily. His first giveaway saw six bikes go in under 30 minutes.

Now neighbors know him as the Bike Dude, and they keep him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and locks to redistribute. The local farmers market collected 36 bikes at its first attempt. In addition to the adults and kids he meets at his “Free Bikes” events, eager customers come from local re-settlement agencies and other nonprofits. The groups provide Vera with the height, gender and age of a rider and he delivers a fitting bicycle to their door. He's happy to make the trip.

Lately, one of the hot-button topics in the art world is artificial intelligence (AI). Some people see AI as a means for democratizing creativity. It allows individuals of any skill level to produce stunning pieces quickly and without the expense of some more traditional art. This enables more people who would otherwise be limited by financial challenges to generate work.
单元过关检测(五)
56
AI is also proving beneficial for the business side of the art world. Because it can be created at a lower price than traditional art, those who couldn't afford to buy art now have more options. Due to its access to data from countless sources, AI can assist in authenticating (鉴定) artworks by analyzing different stylistic elements. Collectors and investors can assess the value of artwork using AI, and the list goes on.
单元过关检测(五)
But it's not all roses. Some worry that AI lacks the emotional depth that human-created art offers. Plus, as AI learns from user inputs and copies artistic styles, determining the rightful owner of AI-generated content has become increasingly problematic. It relies primarily on algorithms (算法) and pre-existing artworks, so there isn't much creative input. There is also the concern of artists losing work and profits to AI. Because AI drives prices down for art collectors, artists are concerned that making a living as an artist will become completely impossible.
单元过关检测(五)
All of these above points ultimately bring us to the big question: Is AI art really art? Like every industry, the art world needs to embrace technological advancements or it will get left behind. While some think of art from AI as a valid form of creativity, others feel that AI can't truly be classified as art because it lacks the element of human creativity. It's true that the line between art created by AI and human art is getting less distinct. But from where most artists stand, the fact that non-AI art will always require human touch and thought process points to the fact that it can never be completely replaced by AI.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am your English magazine's faithful reader. Recently, a viewpoint from an article that the first impression is very important in interpersonal communication has caught my eye. That's exactly what I am thinking.

On the one hand, first impressions are lasting impressions. People form opinions and make judgments about us the first time they see or hear about us. And these opinions cannot be changed easily later. On the other hand,bad first impressions often lead to unpleasant results. So we should attach great importance to first impressions in our daily life.
I'm looking forward to sharing with other readers or the author more.
Yours,
