The Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, defines a sandwich as “two or more slices of bread or a spli

28、ated writing through Gmail. Smart Reply provides brief answers to routine emails. If someone asks “Do you want to meet at 3 pm?”, Gmail offers one-click responses such as “Sure!” The New Yorkers John Seabrook recently described a more powerful version of this technology, called GPT-2, which can ably
