AI Painting app goes viral amid raising ethics concerns
AI绘画迅速“走红”，为何遭到大批画师抵制？

An app which uses artificial intelligence to render digital portraits based on photos users submit has gone viral worldwide. There are several tools for users to edit photos including magic touch, replace or blur out the background, apply art filters and special effects or add borders to their pictures. Users can also transfer their photos into various art styles such as anime, cartoons, sketches or watercolours.
一款利用人工智能根据用户提交的照片渲染成数字肖像的应用程序在全球范围内走红。用户可以使用多种多样的工具来编辑照片，包括魔法触摸、替换或模糊背景、应用艺术滤镜和特效，或者为照片添加边框。甚至还可以将他们的照片转换成各种艺术风格，如动漫、卡通、素描或水彩画。

Once the model learns that information, it can look at a new picture and reproduce that image in one of the styles it's been trained to reproduce. Artists have raised concerns about the murky ethics underlying the technology.
一旦模型学会了这些信息，就可以把一张新图片以被训练好的风格重现出来。艺术家们对这项技术背后的模糊伦理表示了担忧。

Some artists claim this not only devalues their own work, churning out 50 images at a fraction of the cost of a commission, but it is potentially appropriating their work, including their signature.
一些艺术家声称，把用户支付的费用一小部分拿出来就可以让AI潦草绘制50张画作。这是对艺术家作品的贬低，而且AI还可能会挪用创作者的作品，包括他们的签名。

Users might just want to use the app to create a new profile picture, but Lensa's privacy policy allows the company to use their “face data” to train their AI algorithm.
用户可能只是想用这款软件绘制一张新的头像，但该app Lensa的隐私政策允许该公司使用用户的“面部数据”来训练他们的人工智能算法。

The app's terms of use also give Lensa “perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable, sub-licensable license” to use the portraits created in the app. Some users, particularly women, have also said the app produces oversexualized images with no prompting.
该应用程序的使用条款还授予了该APP “永久的、不可撤销的、非排他性的、免版税的、全球性的、全额支付的、可转让的、可再授权的许可”，以使用在该APP中创建的肖像。 此外，一些女性用户也表示，这款应用会在没有提示的情况下创造过度性感的图像。

“These representation biases are more an indictment of the art styles the AI was trained on than the technology.” Jennifer Gradecki said, an associate professor of art and design at Northeastern. Companies can put in more work into scrubbing and scraping the data that is being fed to their algorithms, using categories like gender and race as “control signals” to make the model more fair.
“这些表现偏差更多的是人工智能训练出来的艺术风格而导致的，而非技术问题。”东北大学艺术与设计副教授格拉迪基表示。但也有专家称，这不是重现偏见的借口。公司可以投入更多工作来清理和抓取输入算法的数据，把性别和种族等类别作为“控制信号”，使模型更加公平。

Things you should never do when you have a fever
发烧期间，这5件事千万不要做！

Don't Drink Certain Beverages. Alcohol, soda and caffeinated drinks should be avoided when you have a fever," says Pauline J. Jose, MD, a specialist in family medicine with pH Labs. "They can cause dehydration when we really need to hydrate most."
不要饮用部分饮料。“积极健康实验室”家庭医学专家波琳·J·约瑟博士表示：“发烧时应避免饮用酒精、汽水和含咖啡因的饮料。因为当身体需要大量水分时，这些饮料会导致脱水。”

Don't Overheat. "Do not overdress or put yourself in a place that is too hot," says physician Dr. Dimitar Marinov. "This can disturb the thermoregulation of the body and make your fever worse."
不要过分保暖。内科医生迪米特尔·马里诺夫称：“不要穿得太厚，也不要呆在太热的地方，这会扰乱身体的体温调节，让发烧更严重。”

Don't Double Up Your Medications. "Acetaminophen is generally an effective drug for treating fever, however, exceeding the recommended dosage can lead to serious damage to your liver and even death," says Marinov.
不要加倍用药剂量。马里诺夫称：“对乙酰氨基酚是一种有效的退烧药，然而，服用超过推荐剂量的对乙酰氨基酚会导致肝脏严重受损，甚至死亡。”

Don't Starve. "Fever speeds up your metabolism and you need even more calories from food. Starving can literally cripple your immune system," says Marinov.
不要饿肚子。马里诺夫称：“发烧会加速新陈代谢，你需要更多食物补充热量。饥饿会导致免疫力严重下降。”

Don't Forget To Drink Water. "A fever will increase the respiratory rate, and therefore water loss, and sweating increases in order to lower the body temperature," says Ralph E. Holsworth, director of clinical and scientific research with Essentia Water. "Moreover, water intake is commonly decreased during a fever, which will ultimately aggravate dehydration."
不要忘记喝水。Essentia Water临床和科学研究总监拉尔夫·E·霍尔斯沃思表示：“发烧会增加呼吸频率，从而导致身体水分流失，身体在调节体温时，出汗也会增多。此外，人们在发烧期间通常会减少水分摄入，这会加剧脱水。”
