Hementioned using ChatGPT to analyze the original text， completestoryboard planning， utilize AI painting software for drawing， andthen employ picture-to-video software to animate the images. These processes generally produce a large number of preliminary drafts. “Atpresent， it is difficult for AI to fully understand my meaning， and theproduction is relatively random. Every time， I will use AI to generate a lotof these materials to find the appropriate ones for the next step，” Mr Fengsaid.

Neither of them can carry a baby. Southern whiterhinos are more numerous[ 許多的]. Researchers hope to use eggs andsperm from northern white rhinos to produce embryos that will be putinto southern white rhino surrogate mothers.
