Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many aspects of modern life, one of which is the field of art. AI image generators have recently blown many people away. ❶Just enter keywords or pictures into the generator, and it will turn inputs into images within a few minutes. Though the tool is a technological breakthrough, some artists are not happy about it. They protested online when they discovered their copyrighted work was used to construct AI-generated art. Many said they felt cheated because they were not informed about it, nor did they receive any payment in return.
Despite the negative response from those whose works were used to assist the development of the AI technology, there is no specific law against AI-generated pieces of art. While copyright laws protect particular works of art made by individuals, artistic styles that AI copies cannot be legally protected in the same way. ❷This issue may pose a problem—if a company finds an image it wants to use, all it has to do is enter the picture into an AI art system to get an imitated one; in doing so, it will not be considered to be violating any laws.

Though AI-generated art has sparked a heated debate, it obviously has numerous benefits. ❸One example of this is the ability to quickly create supernatural scenes that may be impossible for humans to produce. On the other hand, there are
potential disadvantages to this technology. As seen from the artists’ reactions to discovering their work being used without their knowledge, there are ethical problems. Also, there is the danger of deepfakes, which are AI-created images or videos of people that look incredibly realistic. For example, people could be depicted as doing something scandalous. ❹Clearly, AI-generated art is a rapidly developing field with many bright sides as well as potential problems. As it becomes more prevalent, numerous issues related to AI-generated art need to be figured out.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about? (A) Why many people admire art created by AI. (B) How artists are using technology to produce art. (C) Why AI-generated art has not become accepted yet. (D) How artists reacted to their artwork being used to train AI. |
2. What does “in the same way” in paragraph 2 mean? (A) In the way laws offer protection to historically important creations. (B) In the way laws offer protection to specific works of art.

4.The four sentences numbered ❶ to ❹ in the passage have to do with different aspects of AI image generators. Which one is most related to the issue the following statement discusses?

人工智慧(AI)正在改變現代生活的許多方面,其中之一就是藝術領域。AI 圖片產生 器最近讓很多人驚歎不已。只需在產生器中輸入關鍵字或上傳圖片,它就會在幾分鐘內將 輸入的東西變成圖像。儘管該工具是一項技術突破,但一些藝術家對此不是很開心。當他 們發現自己受到版權保護的作品被用於建構 AI 生成的藝術時,他們在網路上抗議。許多人 表示他們覺得自己被騙了,因為他們沒有被告知,也沒有收到任何作為回報的報酬。
儘管那些自己作品被用於協助 AI 技術發展的人有負面反應,但並沒有具體法律禁止 AI 生成的藝術。雖然著作權法(編按:著作權即為俗稱的版權)保護個人創作的特定藝術 品,但 AI 所複製的藝術風格不能以同樣的方式受到法律保護。這項議題可能會帶來一個問 題 ── 如果一間公司找到了一張它想使用的圖片,它所要做的就是將圖片輸入 AI 藝術系 統以得到一張仿圖;這樣一來,該公司就不會被認為有違法。
雖然 AI 生成的藝術引發了熱議,但它顯然有許多好處。這方面的一個例子是能夠快速創造出人類可能無法製作的超自然場 景。另一方面,這項技術也有潛在的缺點。從藝術家發現自己的作品在他們不知情的情況下被使用的反應,可以看出有倫理上的 問題。此外,還有深度偽造的危險,深度偽造是指看起來非常逼真的 AI 生成人像或影片。例如,人們可以被描繪成做不雅觀的 事情。AI 生成藝術顯然是一個快速發展的領域,有許多好的面向和潛在的問題。隨著 AI 生成藝術益發普遍,許多與其相關的議 題需要著手解決。
1. 第一段的主旨為何? (A) 為何許多人喜歡 AI 生成的藝術。 (B) 藝術家如何使用科技來創作藝術。 (C) 為什麼 AI 生成的藝術還沒有被接受。 |
|
2. 第二段的 “in the same way” 是什麼意思? (A) 以法律為具有重要歷史意義的創作提供保護的方式。 (B) 以法律為特定藝術作品提供保護的方式。 (C) 以法律允許合理使用受版權保護之作品的方式。 (D) 以法律允許修改某些藝術作品的方式。 |
|
3. 本文提及 AI 生成藝術的哪一項缺點? (A) 這種新藝術是違法的。 (B) 藝術家更容易創造他們的作品。 (C) 人類藝術家不會有動力去創作藝術。 (D) AI 生成的假圖正變得愈來愈難以察覺。 |
|
4. 本文中編號 到 的四個句子與 AI 圖片產生器的不同 方面有關。哪一項與以下敘述所探討的議題最為相關?
題解: 題目敘述旨在說明將有版權的圖像上傳至 AI 圖片產生 器,就能得到無版權的圖像,而這跟 後半所舉的例 子一致 ── 一間公司將想使用的圖片輸入 AI 藝術系統 便可得到一張仿圖,也不會有違法之虞,故選 (B)。 |
