【參考翻譯】

當(dāng)埃隆•馬斯克(Elon Musk)表示，他的新目標(biāo)是利用人工智能制造家用機(jī)器人時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該滿懷敬佩地期待這一天的到來。

馬斯克先生是一個(gè)做事有板有眼的人。作為兩家科技公司——特斯拉汽車公司和SpaceX公司的創(chuàng)始人，特斯拉正在將電動(dòng)汽車推向大眾市場(chǎng)，并幫助人類在其他星球上生活。這聽起來像是一派胡言，但這位企業(yè)家擁有的近130億美元財(cái)富來自實(shí)際成就，而非假設(shè)。

許多聰明的人對(duì)人工智能很感興趣，他們擔(dān)心有一天機(jī)器人會(huì)變得如此愚蠢，以至于他們會(huì)殺了我們所有人。這些擔(dān)憂大多是杞人憂天:就像對(duì)基因改造的歇斯底里一樣，我們?nèi)祟愐话愣甲銐蚵斆?，能夠迅速而小心地處理這些問題。

想想如果你有一個(gè)生活在里面的機(jī)器人會(huì)有多好。無論如何，這可能就像一個(gè)保姆和一個(gè)護(hù)士合二為一——或者，如果這需要比馬斯克想象中的機(jī)器更強(qiáng)大的智慧，至少需要有人來切胡蘿卜、洗車和修剪草坪。一旦購買和訓(xùn)練，這將允許___33___用戶節(jié)省金錢和時(shí)間，在我們繁忙的生活中騰出___34___空間來閱讀一本好書。

這就是為什么我們歡迎馬斯克先生的最新作品，并祝他好運(yùn)。只要機(jī)器人能增加人類的快樂，減少痛苦，創(chuàng)造時(shí)間閱讀世界級(jí)的新聞，我們就應(yīng)該成為他們的粉絲。特別是因?yàn)樾侣剺I(yè)是機(jī)器人永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)做的工作。
