IBM’s debating computer suggests human brains are nothing special
与许多和我交谈过的博学广识的人一样，我认为人工智能(AI)往往被夸大了。不少专家认为，亚瑟•C•克拉克(Arthur C Clarke)所说的“人工愚蠢”使得计算机成为我们的仆人，而非我们的主人。Like many informed people（词汇） I talk to, I believe artificial intelligence is often overblown. Plenty of experts agree that what Arthur C Clarke called the “artificial stupidity” of computers makes them our servants, not our masters.
ADJ Something that is overblown makes something seem larger, more important, or more significant than it really is.
人类大脑产生创造性思维、直觉、创意甚至预感的能力肯定不可能被复制到电子设备上吗？Surely the human brain’s ability to think creatively, to have intuition, ideas and even hunches is impossible to replicate electronically?
N-COUNT If you have a hunch about something, you are sure that it is correct or true, even though you do not have any proof.
但是如果人工智能怀疑论者高估了人类大脑呢？不久前，IBM展示了一个程序，在围绕政府支持太空探索和远程医疗是否有益的辩论中，它差不多与一位经验丰富的人类辩手平分秋色。它并不能完全让人心悦诚服，却不由得让我对人工智能进行了一番反思。But what if AI sceptics have over-estimated the human brain? Last week, IBM demonstrated a programme that just about held its own（句型，坚持住，支撑住的意思） against a skilled human debater on the topics of whether government support of space exploration and telemedicine（词汇）were good things. It was not wholly convincing, but it did make me rethink AI.
