AI ghostwriting ability has boundaries Don t be overly superstitious

Market sensitive] AI may open up ideas and supplement knowledge that human writers have not mastered, but in terms of the final result, it must be inseparable from human thoughts and emotions.

Wei Min. As an educator who works with words a lot, I'm no stranger to the pomp and circumstance that AI (artificial intelligence) has swept all the way. The end of the year is approaching, and it's chatgpt4 again0. Wenxin Yiyan In the busy season of these stars in the AI family, keywords such as "year-end summary AI" and "*" are entered on major e-commerce platforms, and products such as "AI intelligent originality, writing essentials", "lazy office" and "three-minute rapid delivery" have sold tens of thousands. Of course, in addition to the year-end summary of the popular product, there are more text formats such as graduation**, scientific research manuscripts and even animations, short** videos and audios, AI can try, and they are different. It should be said that at present, in addition to the fields of science, education, culture and health, many industries already have the problem of dependence on AI, and the degree of dependence is different. In addition to being an auxiliary tool in data analysis and data retrieval, AI has more exciting functions to be explored. AI is indeed a good enabling tool, and it is understandable that it is sought after.

However, although AI can do many functions, including **, it is a matter of opinion to see how effective it is. Let's take two examples: an erhu or a bamboo flute of the same material, the street and alley vendors selling musical instruments will also come to play a piece effortlessly, but if you compare this piece with the same piece played by the master, the level is still superior. As long as the audience is not satisfied with "listening to a sound", they will definitely be able to hear the interpretation gap between the two;The same well-known pop song is sung by the street performers who walk through the food stalls, as long as the customers pay. But the gap with the original song is not so small that customers will ignore it. The reason for this, in the eyes of emotional audiences, including me, is whether there is affection or not, and whether the emotion is in place. Some people think that AI writing has no feelings, but it is just clear and incomplete. If it's just to complete the task, write articles that don't check for duplicates and don't have high requirements, AI can do it. And if you want to write an article that is in-depth, high-level, and more realistic, you need to do original writing manually. In other words, the current AI** is still dominated by clichés, and it is still difficult to count on it if there is a problem that needs to be solved. At the same time, this is not a problem that "adding money" can solve. Of course, if the customer chooses to enjoy the "joy" of extremely fast drafting, stop complaining about the "mediocrity" of AI-generated content.

Whether the author is emotionally invested or not, no matter what field he is in, is a very important matter, and it can completely determine the quality and even success or failure of the work. There is no big problem in leaving the daily work plan, weekly report, and year-end summary to be a text that is broad and general, redundant and meaningless, and left to AI to complete. But to rely on AI to complete all the work tasks, especially if these jobs still need to deal with people, is tantamount to a fool's dream. As for whether the work has ideas and innovations, at a time when AI cannot replace people, we can't hope for AI at all. AI may open up ideas and supplement knowledge that human writers don't have, but the final result must be presented without human thoughts and emotions. In addition, in the field of scientific research**, regardless of whether it is necessary to restrict some functions and permissions of AI, if users rely too much on AI to complete their work, it will only reduce their critical awareness and independent analysis ability in the stage of scientific research ability training.

In the future, there is no controversy that AI will comprehensively "invade" all aspects of people's lives and work, subvert and replace many industries. But this kind of work still has its boundaries. If you are satisfied with just using some data or clichés, there is no problem with using AI**;If in addition to numbers and clichés, there is also a need for abundant emotions and innovative expressions, then people have to write their own words, and AI cannot be expected. Recalling the "Chopsticks Brothers" who became popular because of "Old Boy", and the "Rising Sun Masculine" who became popular because of "In the Spring", it was their feelings that resonated with the audience. Even today, it is impossible to imagine that a single AI software could help these two combinations achieve their dreams. At the same time, it should also be noted that AI has become a new gimmick, and there is room for imagination as to what industry can catch up with AI. But it's not easy to make money from it, and not long ago it was a big hit, and the usage fee was as low as 9The phenomenal out-of-the-circle software of the 9 yuan "Miao Duck Camera" has now been quiet. It can be seen that entrepreneurship in the field of AI also needs to be done with caution.
