▍原文 Ropet, an AI robotic pet designed to provide interactive companionship, embodies everything we admire and fear about artificial intelligence: it’s adorable, intelligent, and emotionally responsive. Researchers in the 90s were already fascinated by the “Tamagotchi effect”, which demonstrated the intense attachment children form to virtual pets that feel real. If an AI-powered pet like Ropet expresses sadness when ignored, an adult can rationally dismiss it – but for a child, it can feel like a real tragedy. ▍語言點 1. provide interactive companionship 提供一種互動式的陪伴 2. adorable /əˈdɔːrəbl/ adj. 可愛的 3. intelligent /ɪnˈtelɪdʒənt/ adj. 聰慧的 4. emotionally responsive 能在情感上給予反饋的 5.
