A
With all the dietary information online, it can be hard to know what tips to follow. Watch out for these words and expressions.
Fat Is Good
It doesn’t matter if you are part of the fat is GOOD for you or BAD for you group, the important question to ask is the source of the fat. If it comes from a land-based animal, and is likely to be solid at room temperature, then it is saturated （饱和的） fat whereas if it comes from fish or plants, and it is likely to be liquid at room temperature, then it is unsaturated fat. All the evidence indicates that eating more unsaturated fat than saturated fat lowers your risk of dying early.
Natural Sugar Is Better
The vast majority of sugar we consume is sucrose （蔗糖）. It is the white powdered stuff we cook with and is made up of glucose and fructose. How about sugar from honey It is often marketed as natural and better for you. Actually, it just has its own distinct flavour, but is as sweet because of glucose and fructose.
High-pH Water
Some people think we need to eat alkali （碱） food to maintain our blood at a pH of 7.4. But everything we eat or drink passes through the stomach, which, at a pH of 1.5, is the most acidic part of the body. It is then neutralised to a pH of 7. So, nothing we eat will change the pH of our blood.
Don’t Eat Anything That You Can’t Pronounce
Whether foods are natural or highly processed, they are all full of chemicals. Are you supposed to fear “phenylthiocarbamide”, because you can’t pronounce it This is simply the chemical responsible for the bitter taste found in brassicas, the plants in the cabbage and mustard family.
Don’t Eat Food With More Than Five Ingredients （佐料）
Simple foods are not necessarily healthier for you. If I, for instance, use Chinese five spice powder in a recipe, that would count as one of the five ingredients. However, what if I added the typical components of five spice powder separately into a dish Does that mean my recipe suddenly becomes bad because it has more than five ingredients
21．According to the passage, healthier fat ______.
A．can be found in fish and plants B．comes from land-based animals
C．remains solid at room temperature D．can lower the death rate of elders
22．The passage suggests that ______.
A．diets can help adjust the pH of our blood B．honey sugar can do more good than sucrose
C．foods with more ingredients may be as healthy D．chemicals we can recognize are safer to take in
23．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To compare tips on food choices. B．To introduce different health concepts.
C．To recommend fitness recipes to readers. D．To warn us of some dietary misunderstandings.
B
At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley （薏米） ”and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke （笔画）.” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”
24．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”
A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.
C．She understood the intention but still disliked it. D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.
25．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.
A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her origin
C．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with the local community
26．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.
A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energy
C．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice
27．What does the author intend to tell us
A．Appreciate what our culture offers. B．Find beauty from your inner self.
C．A great teacher leads you to truth. D．We are the sum of what we create.
C
“Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a psychology professor, who was offering a strategy for pursuing better science.
To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back to the nature of science itself. You see despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories become elaborated and change, so do scientific methods.
But methodological reform hasn’t come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life’s work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow.
What Nosek recommended was a strategy for changing the way we offer and respond to critique. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic presumably shares.
One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it’s easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too.
Despite these worries, I like Nosek’s suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community—we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.
Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis （假说）: that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don’t know if that’s true. In fact, I should probably assume that it’s wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together.
28．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Reformers tend to devalue researchers’ work.
B．Scientists are unwilling to express kind criticisms.
C．People hold wrong assumptions about the culture of science.
D．The scientific community should practice critical self-reflection.
29．The strategy of “assuming you are wrong” may contribute to ______.
A．the enormous efforts of scientists at work B．the reliability of potential research results
C．the public’s passion for scientific findings D．the improvement in the quality of evidence
30．The underlined word “demoralizing” in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A．discouraging B．ineffective C．unfair D．misleading
31．The tone the author uses in talking about the untested hypothesis is ______.
A．doubtful but sincere B．disapproving but soft
C．authoritative and direct D．reflective and humorous
D
Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet （单簧管） like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual.
Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence.
It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head.
The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise （即兴发挥）, who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism.
Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity.
The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it.
The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him.
Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes.
32．The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to ______.
A．show what a talented musician should look like
B．introduce an important figure in the musical world
C．contrast with his talent in music performance
D．indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock
33．The author would most probably agree that ______.
A．an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance
B．the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full
C．being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual
D．those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists
34．According to the passage, which individual’s actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism
A．A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition.
B．A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following.
C．An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others.
D．An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices.
35．For the main thread, the article is organized by way of ______.
A．specific to general B．cause and effect
C．examples and conclusion D．comparison and contrast

Art Builds Understanding
Despite the long history of scholarship on experiences of art, researchers have yet to capture and understand the most meaningful aspects of such experiences, including the thoughts and insights we gain when we visit a museum, the sense of encounter after seeing a meaningful work of art, or the changed thinking after experiences with art. These powerful encounters can be inspiring, uplifting, and contribute to well-being and flourishing.
36 It contributes to facilitating a better understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts. The question is how that happens — what are the attributes of meaningful experiences of art
According to the mirror model of art developed by Pablo P. L. Tinio, aesthetic reception corresponds to artistic creation in a mirror-reversed fashion. Artists aim to express ideas and messages about the human condition or the world at large. 37 This results in the build-up of layers of materials — from initial studies and sketches to the final, refined piece. A viewer’s initial interaction with an artwork starts where the artist has left off. Their interaction first involves the processing surface features, such as color, texture, and the finishing touches applied by the artist during the final stages of the creative process. 38
In addition, art making and art viewing are connected by creative thinking. Research in a lab at Yale University shows that an educational program that uses art appreciation activities builds creative thinking skills. It showed that the more time visitors spent engaging with art and the more they reflected on it, the greater the correspondence with the artists’ intentions and ideas. 39
Correspondence in feeling and thinking suggests a transfer — between creator and viewer — of ideas, concepts, and emotions contained in the works of art. Art has the potential to communicate across space and time. 40 What it takes for this to happen is active engagement with art in contexts that facilitate this engagement, especially museums.
A．The viewers gain a new perspective on the story.
B．The theory of aesthetic cognitivism describes the value of art.
C．This helps to create connections and insights that otherwise would not happen.
D．To do so, they explore key ideas and continually expand them as they develop their work.
E．After spending more time with the work, the viewer begins to access the ideas of the artist.
F．For example, in one activity, people are asked to view a work of art from different perspectives.
G．Participants were more original in their thinking when compared to those who did not take part in the program.

Heads or Tails
Careful: It’s not 50-50
The phrase “coin toss” is a classic synonym for randomness. But since the 18th century, mathematicians have 41 that even fair coins tend to land on one side slightly more often than the other. Proving this tiny bias, 42 , would require hundreds of thousands of carefully recorded coin flips, making laboratory tests a logistical （后勤的，组织协调的） 43 .,
Franti ek Barto , currently a Ph.D. candidate studying the research methods of psychology at the University of Amsterdam, became interested in this 44 four years ago. He couldn’t 45 enough volunteers to investigate it at first. But after he began his Ph.D. studies, he tried again, recruiting 47 volunteers from six countries. Multiple weekends of coin flipping later, including one 12-hour marathon 46 , the team performed 350,757 tosses, breaking the previous record of 40,000.
With one side initially upward, the flipped coin landed with the same side facing 47 as before the toss 50.8 percent of the time. The large number of throws allows 48 to conclude that the nearly 1 percent bias isn’t a fluke （侥幸）. “We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin flips after this data set,” Barto says.
The leading theory explaining the 49 advantage comes from a 2007 physics study by Stanford University statisticians, whose calculations predicted a same-side bias of 51 percent. From the moment a coin is launched into the air, its entire track — including whether it lands on heads or tails — can be calculated by the laws of 50 . The researchers determined that airborne coins don’t turn around their symmetrical axis （对称轴）; 51 , they tend to move off-center, which causes them to spend a little more time high in the air with their initial “up” side on top.
For day-to-day decisions, coin tosses are as good as random because a 1 percent bias isn’t 52 with just a few coin flips, says statistician Ameli, who wasn’t involved in the new research. Still, the study’s conclusions should eliminate any lasting doubt regarding the coin flip’s slight bias. “This is great experiment-based evidence 53 the bias,” she says.
It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches; simply 54 the coin’s starting position before flipping it should do the trick. But if your friends are 55 the tiny bias, you may as well benefit from your slight advantage. After all, 51 percent odds beat a casino’s house advantage. “If you asked me to bet on a coin,” Barto says, “why wouldn’t I give myself a 1 percent bias ”
36．A．confirmed B．denied C．recorded D．suspected
37．A．therefore B．however C．for example D．vice versa
38．A．nightmare B．context C．intervention D．delay

Why We Should Record Travel Moments
On a rainy summer day, I took a train to Switzerland and trekked through the mud to a medieval fortress high atop a cliff. After twisting through its dimly lit corridors, I finally 56 (arrive) at the main viewpoint of Cave of the Fairies: a plunging 77m waterfall that shoots from underground into a sparkling pool. As the waterfall wet my jacket, I closed my eyes and took out my phone 57 (record) the rush of dreamy reality before me.
I had come in search of a sound, not a sight.
Throughout my travels, I’ve found myself 58 (collect) sound recordings the way other people collect souvenirs. Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food, I started doing this as an artistic way to help me remember some of the most interesting details of my trips.
Environmental scientist Lauren Kuehne said, “I think that once you start to listen, once you actually start to listen, you start to appreciate how much 59 (big) the world is.”
This attitude 60 (echo) by Samara Kester, a retired emergency medicine physician who now serves on QPI’s board. “A photograph is two dimensions. 61 you are looking at something you’re seeing, it’s maybe 180 degrees, maybe 270 degrees. Sound is 360 degrees. You hear it all around you.” Kester explained 62 teaching herself to be a better listener has not only expanded her sense of travel, but helped her relive her travels once she’s back home. “You immerse 63 in that place again. You recreate those memories and therefore recreate the feelings you had, 64 are very hard to express clearly. You can re-experience that and that will send you to where you were before.”
Months later back in my L.A. home, I find myself popping on my headphones and listening back to the rush of falling water inside Cave of the Fairies. When I close my eyes, I 65 feel the spray of water against my skin, the sense of letting my ears lead me on a faraway adventure. Mentally, I’m right back there — if only for a moment.

As Valentine’s Day, a time for expressing affection through the exchange of presents, drew near, Kendra found herself seated at the kitchen table, carefully penning her name on Valentine’s cards for her classmates. She recognized her own hesitation; words didn’t come easily to her. While she envied the ease with which her peers talked and laughed, her shyness often kept her quiet.
Kendra grabbed another card. Her eyes lit up at the phrase “You’re dynamite （引起轰动的人或物）!” — a term that would undoubtedly delight her Grammy, who frequently used the expression to praise their festive decorations. “Well, that looks dynamite!” Grammy would exclaim, her approval filling Kendra with warmth.
Just as Kendra was signing the cards, her mother came in, sharing the sad news of Elise, their neighbor, and her recent accident that led to a broken leg, restricting her to home schooling for the coming weeks. Kendra felt sorry for Elise, and quickly picked the most splendid valentine, hurrying to Elise’s home.
Upon arrival, Kendra’s look fell upon the life-sized deer statue decorating the front yard. She studied it, saying to herself, “Wouldn’t this deer look cool with a big heart around his neck Elise could look out of the window and see it decorated for Valentine’s day.”
With this idea, Kendra got the sizable red heart her Grammy had given her, tied it with string, and hung it around the statue’s neck like a festive chain. The next day, she decorated the antlers （鹿角） with a variety of smaller hearts. It was during this act of kindness that Colin and Amy, Elise’s fellow classmates, happened upon the scene. “Are you decorating Elise’s deer for Valentine’s Day ” they asked. Kendra confirmed with a nod, explaining her intention to cheer up Elise. Despite her uncertainty about what to add next, Colin proposed adding some color, while Amy suggested putting decorations on the deer’s back and forehead. United by a shared purpose, they agreed to meet later.
Paragraph 1: That afternoon, they met to decorate the deer with the materials they had sourced. Paragraph 2: Just then, Elise’s front door opened, and Elise stuck her head out.

【参考例文】
As a student at Mingqi High School, I am intrigued by the ongoing discussion surrounding the integration of ChatGPT into our lives amidst the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Regarding the use of ChatGPT, I am cautiously supportive, recognizing both its potential benefits and concerns.
Firstly, I support the use of ChatGPT because of its convenience and accessibility. With ChatGPT, we have instant access to information and assistance, which can greatly enhance our learning experiences. Whether it’s clarifying concepts, practicing language skills, or receiving personalized feedback, ChatGPT offers valuable support that complements traditional learning methods.
Additionally, ChatGPT can foster creativity and exploration. By interacting with ChatGPT, students have the opportunity to engage in stimulating conversations, explore new ideas, and expand their knowledge in diverse subjects. This interactive learning experience can spark curiosity, inspire innovation, and encourage independent thinking among students.
However, I also acknowledge the need for caution when using ChatGPT. As with any technology, there are concerns about privacy, accuracy, and overreliance. It’s essential to use ChatGPT responsibly, critically evaluate the information it provides, and maintain a balance between technological assistance and independent learning.
In conclusion, while I support the use of ChatGPT as a valuable tool in education, it’s important to approach its integration thoughtfully and mindfully to maximize its benefits while addressing potential challenges.

Paragraph That afternoon, they met to decorate the deer with the materials they had sourced. Colin, with his artistic touch, laid the red blanket over the deer’s back, giving it a festive look. Meanwhile, Kendra, feeling a spark of creativity, carefully placed sparkly heart-shaped stickers upon the deer’s forehead, adding a bit of fun. “That looks so cute!” Amy exclaimed. Then, they decided to create a sign.

Just then, Elise’s front door opened, and Elise stuck her head out. Her eyes widened in surprise, taking in the sight of the festively decorated deer and her friends. “You did this for me Wow! Thank you!” she grinned. Kendra felt a rush of happiness as Elise’s appreciation washed over them. “Can I join in next time ” Elise asked eagerly. “Of course!” Kendra felt featherlight. The “Deer Valentine” not only brought a smile to Elise’s face but also sowed the seeds of a new friendship and marked a personal milestone in kendra’s journey to openly express her affection for others.

W: We are trying to start a club.
M: How is it going
W: We were hoping for at least fifteen people, but only two signed up.
Text 2
M: I’m really looking forward to the party. But it’s all the hard work you have to do before that I don’t enjoy.
W: Oh, it’s fine. It gives us the chance to get the house nice and tidy.
Text 3
M: I think online shopping will replace going out to shops. Online stores can offer much lower prices than the high-street stores.
W: I doubt it. I think we’ll always want to touch some things physically and see them before we buy them.

W: With Scott and Tina both up for the same job, I feel nervous when they’re in the same room.
M: I just try to act normally, like tell them a joke or something. That usually breaks the ice.
Text 5
M: It’s really nice of you to cook for me tonight.
W: I’m glad to do it. You’ve been so helpful, and it’s only fair that I return the favour. I hope you’ve brought your appetite.

W: There are many candidates for this promotion. In my opinion, Mr Bannister has proven himself to the company, but he doesn’t have much experience.
M: I agree with you, Amelia, but we shouldn’t ignore Mrs Templeton. She really helped us a lot with the trade deal last year.
W: I didn’t think about that. You’re right. We should go with her, as she’s been with us longer.
M: Let’s inform Mr Duncan that we’ve reached a decision.

M: So, Anna, if you answer this question correctly, we’ll put $1 million in your bank account today. Are you ready
W: Yes. Please go ahead.
M: Well, here’s the question. Who was the first woman to go into space
W: The answer is American astronaut Sally K. Ride.
M: Oh, Anna, I’m afraid that’s incorrect.
W: I’m sorry, I just remembered Valentina Tereshkova.
M: Yes, the Russian. I’m afraid I need to take your first answer. But you still walk away with $250,000. Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Anna Edison.
W: Thank you.

M: Cindy! Have you heard the news
W: No, Steve. What do you mean
M: You know all the classes we’ve missed because of the snow We’re going to have to make them up and it will have to be during the spring break.
W: Oh, no! We have our vacation all set! What are we going to do Do the others know that
M: I don’t know but I certainly can’t afford to miss five days of classes this term.
W: But I really don’t want to cancel our trip. All of us have already booked our plane tickets!
M: I can try to call the travel agency; maybe they can return our money. But before we do anything we need to speak with our professors.
W: You think they’ll excuse us from class
M: I don’t know. But I think we’re going to have to speak to all of them anyway.
W: Why didn’t they add extra days at the end of the term before summer classes
M: Because of the graduation date, which can’t be changed!
W: Are other colleges around here doing the same thing
M: I would imagine so! It has been such a bad winter and we’ve missed too many classes. We really need to make them up.
W: I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M: Oh, look, there’s Professor Hampton right now!
W: Come on, let’s go and talk to him.

M: Good evening. Do you have any rooms available at the moment
W: Yes, we do. How many nights do you want to stay
M: Four, if it’s possible.
W: Okay, let me see... I’m sorry, sir. I’m afraid we can only give you a room for two nights. It’s a very busy period right now. We’re almost fully booked these days.
M: All right. I’ll just stay for tonight, then. It’s too late to go to other hotels now. I’ll search for another one tomorrow.
W: That’s an excellent idea, sir. And thank you for your understanding. So, a single room for one night. Here is your key card, and your room is on the 7th floor.
M: Thanks. By the way, is there a swimming pool in the hotel
W: Yes, there is. It’s on the 15th floor. But it closes at 10:00 pm., so it was closed 45 minutes ago already.
M: That’s too bad.
W: We do have a gym that opens 24 hours. It’s on the 14th floor.
M: Great! Thanks for letting me know.
W: You’re welcome, sir. Oh, before I forget, breakfast is served on the 2nd floor from 6:30 to 10:00 in the morning.

Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, German soldiers from 1943 or America’s Founding Fathers produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Gemini had been programmed to show a range of ethnicities. Other image-generation tools have been criticised because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap; instead, it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black and the pope as an Asian woman.
Some observers likened Gemini’s ahistorical diversity to “Hamilton” or “Bridgerton”. It seemed that Google had merely made a well-meaning mistake. But it was a gift to the tech industry’s right-wing critics. On February 22nd Google said it would halt the generation of images of people while it rejigged Gemini. But by then attention had moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.
Gemini happily provided arguments in favour of affirmative action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group, because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritise “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organisation, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be Ben Shapiro to discern a progressive bias.
Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviours, which can be swiftly patched, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.
But Gemini has clearly been deliberately calibrated, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses; they are not “hallucinations”, where a model makes things up. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but an obligation, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda That risks deterring users and provoking a political and regulatory backlash. All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too
