61、电脑生成的诗歌可能在语法和风格上都是正确的，但有些人说它们仍然缺乏创造性和真正的意义。分析句子可知，空格处缺少连词，而前后语意表示转折，所以用连词but/yet。40creativity/creativenesslack为及物动词，后可直接接名词creativity/creativeness作宾语。41called句意：澳大利亚研究员Oscar Schwartz创建了一个名为“bot or not”的网站。分析句子可知，a website与call是被动关系，所以用过去分词called。42were written/are written分析句子可知，本句为whether引导的宾语从句，主语t
