Jason Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award - winning image has caused controversy(争议).
In August, Allen, a game designer, won first place in the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts(提示符).
Allen’s winning image is one of three such images he entered in the competition. The definition for the category in which Allen competed states that digital art refers to works that use digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Allen used Midjourney to create his image.
Midjourney is one of a growing number of AI image generators. Others include Google Research’s Imagen and OpenAI’s DALL - E 2. Anyone can use Midjourney, while DALL - E 2 requires an invitation, and Imagen has not been opened up to users outside Google.
Whether these tools can truly make art or assist humans in making art came into sharp focus not long after Allen’s win. Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image. “This is really bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics,” one artist wrote.
Cal Duran, an artist and art teacher who was one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of Midjourney, he didn’t realize that it was generated by AI when judging it. Still, he stuck by his decision to award it first place in its category, calling it a beautiful piece. “There’s a lot involved in this piece and I think AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way,” he said.
Allen won’t yet say what the text prompt was behind his winning image—he’s planning to keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related work that he hopes will be finished later this year.

答案： 12. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Anyone can use Midjourney, while DALL - E 2 requires an invitation, and Imagen has not been opened up to users outside Google.”可知，任何人都可以使用Midjourney，DALL - E 2 需要邀请才能使用，Imagen 只对谷歌用户开放。因此，普通用户最容易用Midjourney来生成图片。
13. B 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image.”可知，有些艺术家对他的获胜感到生气是因为他使用了人工智能。
14. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Cal Duran所说的“I think AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way”可知，他认为人工智能技术可能会给那些也许无法以传统方式发现自己是艺术家的人更多机会。再联系上文提到的他坚持把奖项评给Jason Allen可推知，他支持利用人工智能创作艺术作品。
15. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“he’s planning to keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related work that he hopes will be finished later this year”可知，他计划在发表一幅更大型的相关作品之前保守秘密，而且他希望这部作品能在今年晚些时候完成。因此，他接下来可能计划使用人工智能创造出更具影响力的艺术作品。
