The last few weeks, ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot built by OpenAI, has been on an ambitious killing spree.

過去幾週，由 OpenAI 所開發的人工智慧哈拉機器人 ChatGPT，展開了一場雄心勃勃的「屠殺」。

Timelines overflow with eulogies to its victims, search engines, copywriters, coders, high school essays, and many more.

各種時間軸上充斥著對其受害者的哀悼，像是搜尋引擎、文案寫手、程式設計師、高中作文等等，還有更多。

Now, reports of these impending deaths may be exaggerated.

不過，這些迫在眉睫的死亡報導，可能有點誇大其詞了。

Human beings love to write the words the this will change everything, only to shrug a year later when this changed very little.

人們總是喜歡寫下「這將會改變一切」這類話，結果一年後卻聳聳肩，因為改變得很少。

ChatGPT might be a game changer, it might not be.

ChatGPT 或許是個遊戲規則的改變者，也或許不是。

Either way, the bot is undeniably impressive.

不管怎樣，這個機器人無疑令人印象深刻。

What really astounds is its rhetorical muscle, its ability to generate paragraphs of coherent argument or narrative.

真正令人驚嘆的是它的修辭功力，以及生成連貫論點或敘述段落的能力。

Obviously, there are several million humans to which it can't hold a candle in this regard, but

顯然，有數百萬人類在這方面遠遠勝過它，但是

it instantly hurdled several million others landing somewhere in the neighborhood of a high school student who's perfectly happy with a B minus on their Pride and Prejudice book report.

它瞬間就超越了數百萬人，落在一個對《傲慢與偏見》讀書報告拿到 B- 感到非常滿意的高中生附近。

Twenty years ago, that was my neighborhood.

二十年前，那裡就是我的地盤了。

If I had access to ChatGPT in 10th grade English, I would have used it without compunction.

如果我在十年級英文課時就能用 ChatGPT，我一定毫不猶豫地使用。

Why waste a perfectly good afternoon scratching out a five paragraph essay on Austin's depictions of social class when I could generate this in seconds?

為什麼要浪費一個美好的下午，費力寫一篇關於奧斯汀描寫社會階級的五段式作文，而不是在幾秒鐘內就生成出來？

In America, we don't call this cheating, we call it working smarter.

在美國，我們不叫這是作弊，我們稱之為聰明地工作。

Maybe we'll outsource writing to ChatGPT like we outsourced math to calculators, spelling to spell check, memory to the Internet.

或許我們會把寫作外包給 ChatGPT，就像我們把數學外包給計算機、拼寫外包給拼寫檢查、記憶外包給網路一樣。

To a certain extent, the prevalence of essay writing in school reflects the decline of memorization as a method of teaching and learning, a decline that feels inevitable, maybe even appropriate, in a world where the totality of human knowledge is pocket sized.

某種程度上，學校裡散佈著寫作作業，反映了記憶作為一種教學和學習方法的衰退，這種衰退似乎是不可避免的，甚至可能是恰當的，在一個人類全部知識都裝在口袋裡的時代。

We assign essays because they allow teachers to gauge a deeper understanding in their students.

我們指派寫作作業，因為這能讓老師們評估學生更深層次的理解。

They require a personal synthesis of information, which can't be outsourced to a machine, or couldn't be until a few weeks ago.

它們需要個人對資訊的綜合，這無法外包給機器，或者說，直到幾週前還不行。

Pretty soon English teachers are going to get that question math teachers have been getting for decades.

很快地，英文老師也會收到跟數學老師幾十年來一樣的問題。

When when will we ever need this stuff in real life?

「我們以後在現實生活中真的會用到這些東西嗎？」

The truth is that you'll probably never have to calculate a definite integral once you leave school.

事實是，你離開學校後，大概再也不需要計算定積分了。

And the truth is, we'll likely outsource many categories of basic writing to AI and never look back for other, more complex kinds of writing.

而事實是，我們可能會把許多基礎寫作的類別外包給 AI，然後專注於其他更複雜的寫作，再也不回頭。

You could Simply start with ChatGPT, let it provide the basic structure, then edit to your liking.

你可以從 ChatGPT 開始，讓它提供基本架構，然後再依你的喜好編輯。

Editing, after all, is to synthesize information.

Maybe ours will become a culture of editors, tweakers, embellishers.

也許我們會變成一個編輯、微調、潤飾的文化。

The insipid teenage me would probably say no, but

叛逆的青少年我可能會說不行，但

the 34 year old me, the one who ironically became a professional essayist, leans the opposite way.

34歲、諷刺地成為專業散文家、現在的我，想法卻是相反的。

The difference between writing and editing is like the difference between writing and reading.

寫作和編輯的差別，就像寫作和閱讀的差別一樣。

Obviously it closes the gaps of our ignorance and expands our knowledge, but

顯然，閱讀能彌補我們的無知，擴展我們的知識，但

it does so through the language of others their words, their sentences, their narratives and arguments.

它是透過別人的語言來達成——他們的詞語、句子、敘事和論點。

Editing, too, begins with the language of someone else.

以 ChatGPT 來說，就是「別的東西」。

Of course, to some extent, writing is editing too.

當然，某種程度上，寫作也是編輯。

We inherit our language and its rules from culture, from from the past.

我們從文化、從過去繼承了我們的語言和它的規則。

We express ourselves through a system that we didn't invent, but

我們透過一個我們沒有發明的系統來表達自己，但

that system is so infinitely flexible that we can use it to create structures of our own.

這個系統極其靈活，我們可以利用它來創造屬於自己的結構。

Language is how human beings understand themselves and the world, but writing is how we understand uniquely.

語言是人類理解自己和世界的方式，而寫作是我們獨特理解的方式。

Not to write is to live according to the language of others, or worse, to live through edits, tweaks, and

不寫作，就是活在別人的語言裡，或者更糟，活在一個過度自信的 AI chatbot 生成的語言的編輯、修改和

embellishments to language generated by an overconfident AI chatbot.

I doubt this argument would convince the teenage me to resist a free magic tool that promises easy grades for less work.

我懷疑這個論點能否說服年輕的我，讓我抗拒一個承諾輕鬆拿高分、省時省力的免費魔法工具。

As ever, it's left to teachers to impassion their students within a system that prioritizes grades over learning.

一如往常，老師們必須在這個重視分數而非學習的體系中，激發學生的熱情。

even when they don't, they still do the heroic work of giving insipid high schoolers like myself basic writing competence.

即使不成功，他們仍然默默地做著英雄般的工作，賦予像我這樣平淡無奇的高中生基本的寫作能力。

In my 20s, when I began to wonder who I really was and what I really believed questions that come for all of us, I discovered that writing structuring language of my own was the only way to find out.

在我二十幾歲的時候，當我開始思考我到底是誰、我真正相信什麼——這些問題都會找上我們——我發現，用我自己的方式建構語言，也就是寫作，是唯一能找出答案的方法。

That's when the foundation teachers work so hard to give me proved its immense value.

這時候，老師們辛勤打下的基礎，就顯現出它無比的價值了。

I hope future generations have a similar foundation.

我希望未來的世代也能有類似的基礎。

One way or another, new writing is on its way from the future.

無論如何，新的寫作內容將會從未來而來。

To make sense of all of us, I think we'll prefer it to be our own.

為了讓我們都能理解這一切，我想我們會更傾向於用自己的方式來表達。
