The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?
You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red
snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from
overseas.
A new tech startup is aiming to ______ 1 ______ this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood
wholesale market, the startup, called FultonFishMarket.com, allows customers across the whole country, both
restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ______ 2 ______ , rather than frozen, thanks
to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C．E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to
Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”
There is one thing, ______ 3 ______ , that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If
Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ______ 4 ______ that his fish is actually red snapper,
and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants
and grocery stores in America is _____ 5 _____ . For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a
forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and _____ 6 _____ knowledge that,
so far, computers have yet to replicate.
“_____7_____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of
human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the _____ 8 _____ business. When he arrived at the fish
market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was _____ 9 _____ .” DiGregorio
said, speaking for the fishmongers(鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago,DeGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an
opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.
By 1 a.m. each night, the company collects _____ 10 _____ from around the country and sends them to
DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms（算法）
_____ 11 _____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金
枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,”, so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t _____ 12 _____ , it asks,
“Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.
Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the _____ 13 _____
process. “I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First, _____ 14 _____ . Fish should have “nice” slime(粘液). Then,
smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “when fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff,
“Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.
Is he ever _____ 15 _____ being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time
they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”
