参考范文

With Intelligent Machines to Do the Thinking, Will Our Brains Get Lazy?

Nowadays, many aspects of people’s daily life have undergone considerable

changes because of the recent development in artificial intelligence. Obviously,

artificial intelligence has already completely renovated people’s lifestyle. On the one

hand, the contribution of artificial intelligence to the society is prominent and

people’s dependence on it is an irreversible trend. People enjoy the benefits and

convenience brought by intelligent machines. On the other hand, people are still

concerned about its negative impact, for example, whether our brains will regress with

intelligent machines to do the thinking.

In my opinion, artificial intelligence will enable our brains to get more creative.

Admittedly, a lot of work has been done by intelligent machines. It seems that the

function of people has been weakened and people’s brains have been replaced. As a

matter of fact, thanks to intelligent machines, people can expand their creative energy

and add new varieties. Simply speaking, when people are free from tedious, repetitive,

sometimes even dangerous work, work efficiency will undoubtedly be improved. As a

result, people can spare more time to do what they want and pursue what they dream

of, which is the premise of creativity. Moreover, creativity stems primarily from

knowledge and thinking. Once people have the opportunity to do more thinking and

learning, their intelligence would be enhanced rather than weakened.

Although artificial intelligence is the exhibition of people’s high degree of

creative power, it should be noted that it is like a double-edged sword. The

sensible choice is to embrace its advantages and cope with the problems it has aroused.

This is what an advanced and rational society should be like.
