Tech leaders say that they have never witnessed changes so rapid as the ones artificial intelligence is causing now. Writers, constrained by publishing cycles, can only move so fast. But we are beginning to see serious responses. Over the past three months, Elif Batuman has published a long essay about using ChatGPT to locate a Proust quote — a frustrating experience, like the tech — and Sheila Heti has collaborated with AI to produce a richly strange, jolting short story that begins with an artificial intelligence called Mommy.
技術領袖們表示,他們從未見過像人工智慧現在所引起的變革那樣迅速。受出版週期限制,作家只能行動得那麼快。但我們開始看到一些認真的回應。在過去的三個月裏,埃利夫•巴圖曼發表了一篇長文,講述了使用ChatGPT定位普魯斯特的一句引文的經歷——這是一種令人沮喪的體驗,就像這項技術一樣——而希拉•海蒂(Sheila Heti)則與人工智慧合作,創作了一篇富有奇異和震撼的短篇小說,故事以一個名爲「媽媽」(Mommy)的人工智慧開始。
