Microsoft’s AI (人工智能) finished the first-ever poetry collection (诗集) on May 19h. It’s said that the    1    is the first one written by an AI in human history. What    2    news!

The AI, named Xiaoice (or Microsoft Little Ice), wrote more than 10,000 poems (诗歌)    3    2,760 hours. Of those, 139 were chosen (被选) for the collection, named “Sunshine Misses Windows”. The book has 10 parts, each showing a human    4    such as loneliness, wish or happiness.

The AI first studied all the modern poems of about 519 poets in the world. It would    5    about 100 years for a human writer to make such a big preparation and study.

Since February, the AI has been sending its poems onto the Internet. But    6    people have guessed that the words were written by AI. They thought it was just a common poet(诗人).

“Every time it sees a picture, it gets an idea and    7    modern poems,” said Dong Huan, the producer of the book. Dong added that the collection kept all the original wording (原作),    8    it probably has some small mistakes (错误).

“Xiaoice isn’t    9    in some ways. Some poems may ever sound the same. But we just want to show     10     the 100 percent AI poems,” said Dong. Will you buy one copy of this poetry collection?
