World Reading Day | ChatGPT Changing Life: Re understanding Reading and Writing
2023-04-23
ChatGPT shocked the world. With exposure and use, people gradually shift from "worrying about being replaced" to thinking about "how to coexist with it". World Reading Day ChatGPT Changes Life: Re understanding of Reading and Writing ChatGPT Concept Map (transferred from Xinhua News Agency) At the end of last year, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology. It has powerful information integration and natural language processing capabilities, and can generate novels, write papers, and write programs based on chat content. Since its inception, discussions and controversies about it have never ceased. At the beginning of this year, the American e-book platform Amazon experienced a trend of "AI writing", where people could create dozens of pages of e-books by typing prompts into ChatGPT and sell them directly through the Kindle self-service publishing service. As of mid February, over 200 e-books with ChatGPT listed as authors or co authors have appeared in the Amazon Kindle store. Brett Schickler, who works as a salesperson in New York, used AI to write a children's illustrated e-book and sold it through Amazon's self-service publishing department. In this context, a group of cultural enterprises have begun to accept AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) as a part of their business. At the beginning of the year, the well-known science fiction magazine "Clarkesworld" announced the cessation of online submissions due to receiving a large number of science fiction stories generated by ChatGPT; On April 11th, the domestic science fiction magazine "Science Fiction World" publicly stated that it does not accept science fiction novels created by AI. Editor in chief Raz bluntly stated, "What we need is a future story written by people for people to see." From this perspective, a deep understanding and continuous attention to AIGC can provide inspiration for future cultural development and talent cultivation. On the eve of World Book Day, reporters interviewed non fictional literary writers, self media, university professors, software engineers, and others, hoping to find a harmonious path between content creators, consumers, and AI through their perspectives. ChatGPT accompanies reading, which is just the beginning of Gao Gang, a professor of Renmin University of China School of Journalism, who believes that artificial intelligence tools represented by ChatGPT will profoundly change the way people acquire knowledge, and then affect people's knowledge system construction. Does this impact have more advantages than disadvantages, or do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? It seems to depend on the user's actions. Short video platform blogger @ Daisy, who loves reading, once shared her experience using ChatGPT to assist reading on her account, receiving over 1800 likes and over 2400 collections. Intensive reading of classic works is not only about completing them, but also about preparing previous materials and summarizing them afterwards. We can train ChatGPT to output the background of the times, book overview, and questions to consider, in order to grasp the key points and improve efficiency. She also reminded netizens that reading requires critical thinking, especially for ChatGPT, which "feeds" content to the mouth. ChatGPT suggests readers to read Anna Karenina with these questions.
