Machines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions,but surely they won't ever replace human artists.Right?
Think again.Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine takeover,if a new development in artificial intelligence by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook's A.I.lab offers a clue of what's to come.They have designed an A.I.capable of not only producing art,but actually inventing whole new aesthetic styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism,reports.The idea,according to researcher Marian Mazzone,was to make art that is "novel,but not too novel."
The model used in this project involved a generator network,which produces the images,and a discriminator network,which "judges" whether it's art.Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art,it's given an additional directive: to produce art that doesn't match any known aesthetic styles.
"You want to have something really creative and striking—but at the same time not go too far and make something that isn't aesthetically(美学地)pleasing,"explained Ahmed Elgammal.
The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which.To the researchers' surprise,the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.
Of course,machines can't yet replace the meaning that's infused in works by human artists,but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicatable by machines.
What will it take for machines to produce content that's infused with meaning?That might be the last A.I. frontier.Human artists can at least hang their hats in that field...for now.
"Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask,‘Who is that by?’And you say,‘Well,it's a machine actually’.That would be an interesting conversation starter,"said Kevin Walker.

Everyone smiles in the same language.But not everyone smiles in the same medium,and that might be hurting us.
That's according to a new study from researchers at the University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University,both in Israel,and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.Inadvertently timed to the recent release of “The Emoji Movie,”scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to-face interaction that includes a smile.
The results?For the first time,science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings.Quite the opposite,in fact: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleague's competence and inserts a level of distance into the relationship.
It's a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed "virtual first-impression management."He and his colleagues,including co-leader Ella Glikson,conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messages that included smile emojis versus messages that don't.They also measured these same interactions in social settings and found that the emojis actually improved perception.
"I believe there is a greater gap in what the sender is hoping to convey and what the receiver interprets," Cheshin,a professor,said."This intention-interpretation gap can be damaging."
In addition,Cheshin and colleagues found that the effects of smiley use on social perceptions occur regardless of the expresser's perceived gender.
So what's the takeaway here “I don't think that emoticons and emojis replace actual emotion,”Cheshin told us. "They are just different.The emotions are there and will always be when there are humans involved."
Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment,it's better to just use words at least when you're at work.Or,better yet,just show up and talk face-to-face.You know,like the good old days.

2.According to Cheshin,the emojis senders may not know______.
A. how much virtual impression it leaves
B. how it changes social settings
C. how it has improved perception
D. how the receiver will understand it
3.What is the writer's attitude towards emojis at work?
A. Cautious. B. Positive.
C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Words mean much more than your smile emojis.
B. Your smile emojis won't replace your actual smile.
C. Smiling is a universal language in any communication.
D. Misunderstanding may arise from smile emojis.
