" Writing Chinese on a computer was easier; it required typing out the romanized spelling of a Chinese word (for example, nihao) and then selecting the corresponding characters from a list. Artificial intelligence has further streamlined the process by predicting and automatically selecting the characters based on context. That technology has made typing Chinese almost as efficient as hammering out alphabetic languages like English. "
