One of the puzzles about generative artificial intelligence is why the text it conjures is so long-winded. Why does ChatGPT produce 10 paragraphs when one would do? Another puzzle is how we will all behave when it proliferates. There is a chance that we are about to get a lot more terse. AI is stretching the reality gap between Silicon Valley and the rest of the world. Most of us are not yet firing up chatbots to write emails or carry out research. But tech companies think it is a foregone conclusion that we soon will. If they are right, the way we communicate is about to be transformed.
生成式人工智能(generative AI)令人費解的地方之一是,為什么它生成的文本如此冗長?一段文字就能解釋清楚的事情,為什么ChatGPT給出的答案有十個段落?還有一個問題是,當生成式AI逐漸普及,我們所有人將會有什么表現?有一種可能是我們將變得非常言簡意賅。
