AI with human touch
（文章选自21st Century Teens 初二831期, 题目原创+改编）
Imagine you can have phone calls with your favorite star. Is it
exciting? AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at
home and abroad (国内外).
As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can
do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities (性
格). But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans
but not AI?
Digital (数字) humans today appear in many ways. They can be idols (偶像), vloggers (视频博主), reporters,
and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and covers the
wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster.
In February 2022, Chinese tech company (科技公司) Baidu showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can
change her makeup and how she dresses, and even do livestreams (直播)! During China Fashion Week in
September 2022, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀).
“Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu Qian
from Baidu. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can appear to be in different places and from
different times in history.
But AI humans have their disadvantages (劣势). Take Yuanxi as an example, she still doesn’t have much
human touch and EQ. These are something that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t
team up and communicate with others in real time.
As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees (员工) [show] the power (力量) of [AI] but they are not a replacement
for traditional human employees.”
