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.

机器人等智能机器正越来越多地被使用，他们可以做许多人类以前做过的事情，讨论它的好处和危险.。
几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。这似乎是最棒的，机器有问题。
首先，人们失去工作的机器取代他们的位置的时候，特别是在大规模生产汽车行业等业务。在著名的福特汽车公司的汽车制造工厂，几乎每一步都是由巨型机器人工作速度比人力更高的可靠性和精度。由于采用机器人，把从他们的旧的工作和被迫改变他们的工作是成千上万的工人。即使这样的变化创造就业机会，因为机器人需要人照顾和操作，新增工作岗位的数量要小得多的流失，造成巨大的压力对劳动力市场和政府。
聪明的人越来越少，因为机器在他们的生活中广泛使用。现在人们需要使用他们的大脑比他们在过去所做的，一切都是程序，我们唯一需要做的就是按下一个按钮或扔在一个开关。这给了我们很大的便利，却使我们越来越不聪明的。每个人都有尴尬的时刻困扰的一个简单的单词拼写时用钢笔写。但有一个计算机，它会自动检查拼写和语法的写作。这样的人越来越少，学习有关的事情。这不是进步而是倒退了我们的智力和文化。
但是机器有许多好处，没有人可以否认大工作效率和低成本大批量生产。工作量可能需要几个月时间才能完成的体力劳动可以完美无缺的机器人以分钟完成。我们有了更多的购买力来享受更多种类的商品和服务的生产成本和工厂使用机器减少。其他的福利包括机器可以做高风险业务如采矿和建筑的人危险的工作。
最后，机器有许多优点，使我们的生活更轻松、更方便，但会引起如削弱我们的工作机会和过度依赖机器的许多问题。
