七、阅读短文,回答问题(10分)
The news that an AI painting won the first prize at a state art fair shocked many people.
Can machines truly create art? This question causes debate(辩论)on AI art, which refers to art created with the help of artificial intelligence. Let's see how AI creates a picture and different views about the use of AI in art.

The process takes only seconds. No paintbrush touches canvas(画布). No human hand moves.
The Opponents’ Views
Some artists argue that AI doesn’t have feelings. “Art comes from life experience,” says Liu Wei, a painter from Chengdu. “My sadness, my joy, my memories—they go into my work. AI has none of these.”
The Supporters’ Views
Others see AI as a new tool, like photography or digital software. Musician Zhang Yue uses AI in her works. “It handles(处理)boring technical work,” she explains. “This frees me to focus on melody(旋律)and emotion.” They believe AI can bring new ideas and creativity to art.
Finding Balance
Schools are now discussing new rules. Should works created with the help of AI be graded in the same way as traditional works? How much human effort makes art “real”? These questions have no clear answers now. Perhaps the future belongs to those who can master both human creativity and the power of AI.
1. What is “AI art”?
Art created with the help of artificial intelligence.
2. How long does it take AI to create a picture?
Seconds.
3. Why doesn’t Liu Wei think AI can create “real” art?
Because AI has no life experiences or feelings.
4. What does Zhang Yue use AI to do?
To handle boring technical work.
5. What’s your opinion on using AI in art? Why do you think so?
I think AI is useful and will be widely used in art in the future. Because with its help, anyone can create beautiful paintings even if they have no training before.
