3. D 根据上文“They make household chores effortless, leaving you more time for recreational activities.”以及下文“You can even set... on the smart TV.”可知，上文说智能电视让你有更多的时间进行娱乐活动，下文说可以通过调节智能灯、播放浪漫喜剧营造浪漫氛围，这体现了智能电视更多功能拓展，D项承上启下，符合逻辑。故选D。
4. G 根据上文“Now, if you're considering switching to smart home appliances，it's advisable to approach this gradually.”以及下文“Smart lights，switches，plugs，smart hubs，and of course，Wi-Fi are wise choices.”可知，上文建议逐步更换智能家电，下文提到智能灯、开关、插头等是明智选择，衔接自然。故选G。

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI - powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super - smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow - AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction - level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
