當全世界都在為AI的無窮潛力興奮不已的時候，有一個人卻坦言已經厭倦了這項技術。

他就是征戰(zhàn)NBA十四個賽季的著名后衛(wèi)阿倫·艾弗森。他希望澄清自己不會站在區(qū)塊鏈技術、內容審核技術或供應鏈管理等領域的前沿。

艾弗森在面向全美媒體的新聞發(fā)布會上表示：“我每天閱讀的技術交易文章，都會提到人工智能。人人都說AI是答案，這是實話。我就是答案?！?

艾弗森繼續(xù)道：“但是，我擔心人們指望我成為一些我自己都不敢問的問題的答案?！?

這位籃球名宿幾乎每天都被混淆為人工智能，這令他不知所措。最近，谷歌（Google）承諾，將為Gmail用戶推出了一項AI驅動的新功能“智能回復”。

對此，艾弗森向記者團問道：“為什么人們不能自己寫郵件？難道這不是我們稱之為人的原因嗎？”

艾弗森還列出了許多解決方案。在沒有獲得他的同意的情況下，他被變成了這些解決方案的“代言人”，而他自己卻并不知情。谷歌是最近的例子，但“有罪方”不止谷歌一家公司。Facebook CEO馬克·扎克伯格在國會作證時承諾，對于Facebook網(wǎng)絡上日益增多的內容審核問題，AI將是長期的解決方案。

“我知道在籃球場上的防守，與開發(fā)一項策略減少全球最大社交媒體平臺上的壞人之間，有一定的相似之處。但馬克在讓我承擔這項至關重要的工作之前，并沒有征求我的意見。如果他問過我，他就會知道我已經退役了?！?

艾弗森說道：“為所有人著想，或許我們可以分清楚什么時候指的是人工智能，什么時候指的是我，阿倫·艾弗森。這樣可以讓我避免那些悲傷和憤怒的緊張時刻。在我力所能及的時候，我很愿意成為答案，但我知道有些時候，人們指的是另外一個AI。如果對大家有幫助的話，我也可以叫另外一個綽號‘Bubba Chuck’?！保ㄘ敻恢形木W(wǎng)）

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — As the world froths from the mouth over the boundless potential of AI, one man is frankly tired of it.

Allen Iverson, former guard for fourteen seasons in the NBA, would like to clarify he will not be at the forefront of blockchain technology, content moderation techniques, or supply chain management.

“It is becoming impossible for me to read the daily technology trades without seeing a reference to AI. Everyone says AI is the answer, which is true. I am the Answer,” said Iverson in a press conference addressing national media.

“However,” Iverson continued, “I am worried I am being promised as the Answer to questions I haven’t dared to ask.”

The famous basketball player is at his wit’s end as he is conflated with Artificial Intelligence on a nearly daily basis. Most recently, Google has promised that AI will now power a new Smart Reply feature for Gmail users.

“Also, why can’t people write their own emails? Isn’t that what makes us human?” Iverson asked the press corps.

Iverson listed off a number of solutions he’d been unwittingly signed up for, without his consent. Though it is the most recent example, Google is not the only guilty party. In a testimony to Congress, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised AI would be the long-term solution to growing content moderation problems on the Facebook network.

“I understand there are some similarities between defense on a basketball court and developing a strategy to curtail the presence of bad actors on the world’s largest social media platform. But Mark did not ask before volunteering me for this very important job. If he did ask, he would know I’m retired.”

“Perhaps for everyone’s sake, we can clearly delineate when we are referring to Artificial Intelligence, or me, Allen Iverson. It would spare me from intense moments of grief and exasperation. I’d love to be the Answer when I can, and I understand there are times where it is the other AI,” said Iverson. “If it helps, I also go by Bubba Chuck.”
