A

Those who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now.Though the androids(机器人) have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks，they are not ready for the greatest time.At least that appears to be the case at Japan’s Henn na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.

The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was at Nagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park.The hotel’s owner，Hideo Sawada，promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots.Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot，while a cute android called Churi，placed inside each room，provided information about attractions.Not surprisingly，the lodging，recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records，drew in curious visitors from all around the world.

But as the years have passed，the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory.Also as the robots are “aging”，they are costing more to repair.Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists.In addition to scaring young guests，they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports，forcing human employees to step in each time.Also out are the cute Churirobots，which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations.For example，one guest told TheWallStreetJournal that Churi mistook his snoring(打鼾) for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.

Sawada told TheWallStreetJournal，“When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids，the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel in China are run entirely by robots，with not a human in sight.Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.

From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos，AI can be used to make funny stuff.But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can，does it present a danger to comedy writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe，running from Aug.4 to Aug.28.

Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe，and this year even robots were getting in on the act.One of Fringe’s big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences’ suggestions，which were then performed by humans.The results could be very funny，but sometimes they weren’t funny at all.That was part of the point，explained Piotr Mirowski，the show’s co-maker.“We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI；instead，we use AI to show its limitations，to showcase human creativity on the stage，” said Mirowski，according to TheGuardian.

Comedian Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy.“Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near，” Pierre told SkyNews.“Even normal human comedians struggle to ‘tune’ their jokes to the right crowd at the right time，every time.But that’s what’s interesting about stand-up(独角喜剧) and fun.”

But Peter Bazely，a performer at the Fringe，said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas.One of Bazely’s shows had him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated comedian”．

The Fringe review website，Chortle，talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them，Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”

The reasons for companies wanting to use AI are certainly understandable，but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real，and that’s not very funny.In May，leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority alongside pandemics and nuclear war”．

5．What does the underlined “That” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Performing jokes made by robots.

B．Robots’ jokes being very popular.

C．Robots’ jokes sometimes being not fun.

D．Using humans to show off AI.

6．What do Novellie’s words imply?

A．AI limits the creativity of humans.

B．It is not easy for AI to replace comedians.

C．AI responds well to audiences’ suggestions.

D．The audience of comedy is hard to appeal to.

7．Why does Peter Bazely welcome AI?

A．He has got difficulty in making comedies.
