When plates are set on the table,phones,rather than forks,are at the ready.At this point in our social media setting,the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given.Sure,some chefs,including Michelin-starred chefs,express their displeasure at this,but efforts to make the table a screen-free area have mostly fallen flat.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media.For every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating,they'll eat an extra fifth of a serving.This number makes more sense within the context of the five-a-day recommendation,meaning someone who's being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits and vegetables.Similarly,for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends eating on social media,they'll eat an extra one.
The research suggests that social media can be very helpful when it comes to people's choices of food and their diets.Study author Lily Hawkins said,“The fact is that we can use social media as a tool to‘nudge’ each other's eating behaviour within friendship groups,and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.”
Actually,the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media.People desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills(读写能力) in order to grasp what's realistic and what's absurd.It is necessary to avoid the false perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day,week after week,so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating.Unfortunately,most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals.Therefore,keep your antennae (触角) out for new ideas.You can gather them from food magazines,cookbooks,store flyers,reliable cooking websites,and recommended recipes from friends and family.

(2024·山东聊城高一期末)
An experiment including hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly developed in popularity over the past year.Such tools are designed to communicate smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year,researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment.It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties,or tasks.It included more than 700 business advisors,called consultants(顾问),from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a“working paper”.The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance.For example,researchers found that,on average,workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the tasks on their own.Tasks carried out with the help from AI technology were completed 25 percent faster.And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However,the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped.Of tasks AI was good at,the experiment showed it“significantly improved human performance,” the paper said.But for tasks AI was not right for,“humans relied too much on AI,and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for“were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology.Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
