当埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)表示，他的新目标是利用人工智能制造家用机器人时，我们应该满怀敬佩地期待这一天的到来。

马斯克先生是一个做事有板有眼的人。作为两家科技公司——特斯拉汽车公司和SpaceX公司的创始人，特斯拉正在将电动汽车推向大众市场，并帮助人类在其他星球上生活。这听起来像是一派胡言，但这位企业家拥有的近130亿美元财富来自实际成就，而非假设。

许多聪明的人对人工智能很感兴趣，他们担心有一天机器人会变得如此愚蠢，以至于他们会杀了我们所有人。这些担忧大多是杞人忧天:就像对基因改造的歇斯底里一样，我们人类一般都足够聪明，能够迅速而小心地处理这些问题。

想想如果你有一个生活在里面的机器人会有多好。无论如何，这可能就像一个保姆和一个护士合二为一——或者，如果这需要比马斯克想象中的机器更强大的智慧，至少需要有人来切胡萝卜、洗车和修剪草坪。一旦购买和训练，这将允许___33___用户节省金钱和时间，在我们繁忙的生活中腾出___34___空间来阅读一本好书。

这就是为什么我们欢迎马斯克先生的最新作品，并祝他好运。只要机器人能增加人类的快乐，减少痛苦，创造时间阅读世界级的新闻，我们就应该成为他们的粉丝。特别是因为新闻业是机器人永远不会做的工作。
