请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。
Voltaire once wrote: "Poetry(诗歌) is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls." What would he say then about the news that, in a recent study, people couldn't tell the difference between AI-generated(AI生成的) poems and real ones written by some of history's greatest poets? What if he also learned that people actually(实际上) preferred the AI-generated poems? Would he think that computers have souls?
A new study in the US asked 1,634 people to read ten poems. Five were poems written by famous poets. The poets included Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot and Sylvia Plath. The other five poems were written by ChatGPT 3.5 in the style of the same poet. The readers were asked which were written by AI and which were written by humans. Most of the people thought the AI creations were the human ones. In fact, the five poems thought least likely to be written by a human were all written by actual humans.
The researchers then asked 696 people to rate(划分等级) the poems based on qualities such as their beauty, feeling and rhythm. The people who didn't know which poems were human and which were AI preferred the AI poetry.
The researchers published the final finding - people found the AI poems more "easy" and "understandable".
AI may be able to create poems we prefer, but it seems that it might not be able to create advertisements. Coca-Cola recently showed its newest Christmas advertisements. They recreated the classic scene with people smiling as a Coca-Cola truck passed by. But this time, the production has all been made by AI.
The new advertisements have led to an online discussion with people calling them "scared", "lifeless" and "sad". However, others say that the AI advertisements are a "game-changer". Some companies may be encouraged and try to follow Coca-Cola's example.
What do you think? Can AI replace(取代) human creativity?
54. What's the result of the study in the US?
People found the AI poems more “easy” and “understandable”.
55. What do people think of the new Coca-Cola advertisements?
Some people think they are “scared”, “lifeless” and “sad”, while others say they are a “game-changer”.
56. What else do you think may be replaced by AI? Why do you think so?
I think AI may replace human translation work. Because with the development of technology, AI translation tools can translate quickly and accurately. For example, Google Translate can translate between many languages in seconds, and it can be used in various fields such as business, travel and so on.

答案： 54. People found the AI poems more “easy” and “understandable”. 答案依据第四段。
55. Some people think they are “scared”, “lifeless” and “sad”, while others say they are a “game-changer”. 根据倒数第二段内容并结合“However”前后不同观点可得出答案。
56. I think AI may replace human translation work. Because with the development of technology, AI translation tools can translate quickly and accurately. For example, Google Translate can translate between many languages in seconds, and it can be used in various fields such as business, travel and so on. 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。

与“AI诗人”共生
“AI诗人”火爆全网，诗人终将被AI取代吗？诗歌创作离不开五千年文明沉淀的文化密码：春节对联要“天增岁月人增寿”的镜像对称，悼亡诗需“曾经沧海难为水”的迂回含蓄。AI能模仿这些形式，却难解其中深意。当AI用算法捕捉汉字的韵律，却读不懂“却道天凉好个秋”的欲说还休，鲜活的生命体验才是诗歌的精髓所在。在AI时代，我们更应该投身自然，深入生活，拒绝闭门造车，摈弃浅薄空泛之作，书写鲜活的生命体验，创作出富于感发力量的“独一份”的作品。
