Text CB2A2 


   Anyone who has interacted with superbot ChatGPT or image generator DALL-E might be wondering what the future of artificial intelligence (AI) holds for humanity.

    ChatGPT is an AI program that generates text in a very human-like manner when asked questions. Just ask DALL-E or similar programs to create a picture of a French bulldog driving a pink convertible and voila: you’ll see several versions in seconds.

    Science fiction in the mid-20th century created good-natured AI such as the computer on Star Trek helping the Enterprise crew, as well as its evil twin set on destroying its creators like HAL in Arthur C. Clarke’s famous book (or Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film adaptation) 2001: A Space Odyssey. In 2023, however, we’re surrounded by AI that’s far more mundane than those examples. The virtual assistant in your smartphone, the airline chatbot and the robot vacuum cleaning your floors don’t seem to have any aspirations to rise above humanity and have been designed to help us.

    We should be prepared for bigger things to come than games, better chatbots or photo generators. Connectivity is key: think of AI as a general-purpose innovation like electricity that powers and connects other technologies, including sensors, robots, genomic devices and 3D printers. AI’s use will only intensify and accelerate as faster computing technology is developed, along with greater sensors capturing data, often called the Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities.

Vocabulário em contexto — "virtually"

Gabarito: ✅ CERTO. O advérbio "virtually" na última frase do texto carrega o sentido de "quase", "praticamente", sinônimo de "nearly". A frase original — "In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities" — indica que a IA estará presente em quase todos os aspectos, não em todos de forma absoluta. Portanto, a afirmação está correta.

NÃO CAIA NESSA!

O candidato pode confundir "virtually" com "virtualmente" (no sentido de realidade virtual), mas no contexto o advérbio expressa aproximação, não tecnologia. A leitura atenta do parágrafo final resolve: "virtually every aspect" = "quase todo aspecto".

✅ CERTO.
