阅读理解 If you frequently Google language-related questions, you've probably seen an advertisement for Grammarly, an automated grammar-checker. Grammarly advertises its ability not only to fix a variety of mistakes like spelling and grammar, but to replace the poor words and expressions with proper ones and improve styles too. Does it achieve what it advertises? Sometimes. But sometimes Grammarly doesn't do what it should. Artificial-intelligence systems like Grammarly are trained with data. Developers also manually add certain rules to the patterns that Grammarly has taught itself. The software then looks at a user's article: if a string of words seems ungrammatical, it tries to spot how the mistake most closely resembles one from its training inputs. All this shows how far artificial intelligence is from the human kind. Computers have advantages over humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths, such as chess. Advances in language technology have been impressive in fields, such as speech recognition. But grammar is the real magic of language. And machines are no match for humans. Computers can have a good command of labelling things like nouns and verb phrases. But they struggle with grammatical sentences that are difficult to analyse precisely. To correct such articles requires knowing what the writer has intended. But computers don't work in meaning or intention; they work in formulae (公式). Humans, by contrast, can understand even rather complex grammar, because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds. Grammar-checking computers illustrate not how bad humans are with language, but just how good. （1） According to the advertisement, Grammarly can help users.
