Intelligent machines such as robots are increasingly being used.They can do many things that used to be done by human.Discuss the benefits and dangers.
For centuriespeople have fantasized that someday machines could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants.Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to rapid development in artificial intelligence research.Wonderful as this seemsmachines have problems.
To begin withpeople lose jobs when machines take their placesespecially in the mass production industry such as automobile business.In factories of the famous car company Fordalmost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision than human labor.Because of the adoption of robotsthousands of workers are put out of their old jobs and forced to make changes in their work.Even such changes create job opportunities because robots need people to take care of and operatethe number of new jobs is much smaller than that of lostthus causing huge pressure on the labor market and government.
People become less smart because of the wide use of machines in their life.Nowadays people need to use their brain less than they did in the past.Everything is programmed and the only thing we need to do is to push a button or throw on a switch.This has given us great convenience but made us lazier and less smart.Everyone has the awkward moment troubling with the spelling of a simple word when writing with a pen.But with a computerit will automatically proofread the spelling and grammar of your writing.So people become less concerned with learning things right.This is not a progress but a regress of our intelligence and culture.
But machines have many benefits that nobody can deny such as great work efficiency and low cost of mass production.The workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes.We have more purchasing power to enjoy a wider variety of goods and services because of the reduction of production costs with factories using machines.Other benefits include that machines could do dangerous jobs for people in high risk businesses like mining and construction.
To concludemachines have many merits that make our life easier and more convenientbut they have caused many problems such as undercutting our job opportunities and overdependence on machines.

機器人等智慧型機器正越來越多地被使用，他們可以做許多人類以前做過的事情，討論它的好處和危險.。
幾個世紀以來，人們就幻想，有一天也有智慧的機器能像人類工作和忠實的僕人。今天，這個夢想已經在許多領域由於研究人工智慧的迅速發展成真。這似乎是最棒的，機器有問題。
首先，人們失去工作的機器取代他們的位置的時候，特別是在大規模生產汽車行業等業務。在著名的福特汽車公司的汽車製造工廠，幾乎每一步都是由巨型機器人工作速度比人力更高的可靠性和精度。由於採用機器人，把從他們的舊的工作和被迫改變他們的工作是成千上萬的工人。即使這樣的變化創造就業機會，因為機器人需要人照顧和操作，新增工作崗位的數量要小得多的流失，造成巨大的壓力對勞動力市場和政府。
聰明的人越來越少，因為機器在他們的生活中廣泛使用。現在人們需要使用他們的大腦比他們在過去所做的，一切都是程式，我們唯一需要做的就是按下一個按鈕或扔在一個開關。這給了我們很大的便利，卻使我們越來越不聰明的。每個人都有尷尬的時刻困擾的一個簡單的單詞拼寫時用鋼筆寫。但有一個計算機，它會自動檢查拼寫和語法的寫作。這樣的人越來越少，學習有關的事情。這不是進步而是倒退了我們的智力和文化。
但是機器有許多好處，沒有人可以否認大工作效率和低成本大批量生產。工作量可能需要幾個月時間才能完成的體力勞動可以完美無缺的機器人以分鐘完成。我們有了更多的購買力來享受更多種類的商品和服務的生產成本和工廠使用機器減少。其他的福利包括機器可以做高風險業務如採礦和建築的人危險的工作。
最後，機器有許多優點，使我們的生活更輕鬆、更方便，但會引起如削弱我們的工作機會和過度依賴機器的許多問題。
