Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You've likely heard of the Group of Seven, artists who travelled the remote landscapes of Ontario to capture their rough beauty by brush.But they weren't the only artists who travelled around and painted what they saw!
Fifty years before the Group of Seven, Frances Anne Hopkins was roughing it in a voyageur (船夫) canoe between Lachine (Montreal) and Fort William (Thunder Bay).She was born in England in 1838.She married Edward Hopkins, who worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, and moved to Lachine, Canada.
In 1860, her husband was promoted to Chief Factor of Montreal, which led to the couple occasionally joining voyageurs on their journeys up the river, sometimes travelling all the way to Fort William by canoe.These trips would take weeks of rough living with the men who paddled the canoe.The couple travelled along the shores of the Mattawa River, where Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is located today.
While the voyageurs paddled the canoe or set up camp, Hopkins would sketch (素描) what she saw.She documented the lives of voyageurs in her sketches in the same way we might take a photograph.Most of her paintings describing voyageurs were completed after she returned to London in 1870.Many of her works, such as Canoes in a Fog and Running a Rapid on the Mattawa River were displayed at the Royal Academy exhibition in England during her career.
By the time Frances Anne Hopkins began documenting the voyageurs' lives, the need for them was declining.Faster travel methods such as trains and steamboats were becoming popular, and the demand for canoes was decreasing.However, one could argue that she arrived in the canoe just in time to capture the final years of the voyageurs before they could truly fade away.

Almost everyone has been called a copycat (模仿者) before.It's within human nature to feel inspired by someone's work.But we've also felt the annoyance that comes with someone calling your work their own.This annoyance is what many artists are feeling about recent gains in the popularity of AI art generators.
Stable Diffusion,an AI art generator,allows users to type out descriptions of an image and the AI will generate that image.
This is the case of Kelly McKernan,Karla Ortiz and Sarah Anderson,the three artists behind a recent lawsuit (诉讼) against AI art generators.For McKernan,finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting.But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style,with no credit (认可) to her.This realization made McKernan angry on behalf of all artists.
A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists.It's also harmful because AI art generators create art in specific artists' styles in an instant with no credit to them,even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece.Art generators are not only unfair to current artists,they are also discouraging to potential future artists.As a person who has considered a career in art,knowing that my work could be used in this way makes me wary (谨慎的) of pursuing this route. This way of thinking is not uncommon,which should be incredibly worrying.
Whether it be graffiti to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice,art is a vehicle for social change.Furthermore,art is entertainment; animated movies could not exist without digital artists.Finally,art contains great cultural and historical relevance.
The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected.AI art generators,like Stable Diffusion,are threatening artists' rights worldwide.Thus government regulation and clarified protection of artists' rights to their work is key to navigating (有效应对) this new world of AI generated art.
