Note: throughout the test, you are going to read an online article entitled Bing A.I. and the Dawn of the Post-Search Internet (written by Kyle Chayka), adapted from https://www.newyorker.com and accessed on 11 June 2023. The article is about Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and it discusses ChatGPT.
All the questions of your test will refer to different parts and aspects of the article.
Read the fourth part of the article and analyze the statements I – IV.
So much of the current Web was designed around aggregation—lists of product recommendations on The Strategist, summaries of film reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, restaurant reviews on Yelp. What value will those sites have when A.I. can do the aggregation for us? If Google Search is an imperfect book index, telling us where to find the material we need, Bing A.I. is SparkNotes, allowing us to bypass the source material altogether. Users might simply “read” publications in the form of A.I. chat summaries, as if listening to a mechanized butler reciting newspaper headlines aloud. The paradox of A.I., though, is that it relies on the source material— the vast sea of information that other sites create—to generate its answers. For that reason, it’s easy to imagine a kind of vicious cycle caused by the widespread adoption of tools like Bing A.I. If users don’t have to visit sites directly anymore, then those sites’ business models, based on advertising and subscriptions, will collapse. But if those sites can no longer produce content then A.I. tools won’t have fresh, reliable material to digest and regurgitate.
I. The verb in the statement ‘So much of the current Web was designed around aggregation’ is in the passive voice.
II. In ‘What value will those sites have when A.I. can do the aggregation for us?’, ‘when’ is used to refer to place.
III. The conjunction ‘though’ in ‘The paradox of A.I., though, is that it relies on the source material’ expresses contrast.
IV. ‘If users don’t have to visit sites directly anymore, then those sites’ business models (…) will collapse’ is an example of a first conditional clause.
