Introduction

AI is changing how people write software and how companies work.

AI 正在改變人們編寫軟體的方式以及公司的運作模式。

Main Body

Software engineers do not write all the code now. They check the AI's work. Some people like this. Other people worry about their jobs.

現在的軟體工程師不再編寫所有的程式碼，而是檢查 AI 的工作成果。有些人很喜歡這樣，但有些人則擔心自己的工作會被取代。

Some big companies like Ford and IBM used AI to replace people. But the AI made mistakes. Now, these companies are hiring humans again. Humans are better at solving hard problems.

像福特（Ford）和 IBM 這樣的大公司曾使用 AI 取代人力，但 AI 卻出現了錯誤。因此，這些公司現在重新聘僱人類，因為人類更擅長解決困難的問題。

AI is also very expensive. Many companies are spending less money on AI now. They want to save money and use AI more carefully.

此外，AI 的成本非常高。許多公司現在減少了在 AI 上的支出，希望在節省成本的同時，更謹慎地運用 AI。

Conclusion

Now, humans and AI work together. Companies value human skills and want to save money.

現在由人類與 AI 共同協作。公司重視人類的技能並希望節省成本。
