Since ChatGPT went on sale, the world has boiled. In just 2 months, the number of monthly active users exceeded 100 million, shattering the myth of TikTok. It took 9 months for TikTok to reach 100 million users, and 2 1/2 years for Instagram.
The listing of ChatGPT is like the listing of Apple in the mobile phone industry, subverting the application of artificial intelligence in language, search and consulting.
Especially in writing, it has been blown to the point of being divine. Writing papers, articles, plans and even homework, everything is possible, and the quality is excellent, which greatly improves production efficiency and increases the time to fish.
As a writer, it's definitely time to give it a try. Is it really that easy to use?
Previously, there have also been experiences of playing various artificial intelligence, various AI writing generators, all kinds of things, what AI pseudo-original, AI intelligent writing, writing robots, the general feeling is that a serious book is saying the right nonsense:
There is nothing wrong with the article, but it is not brilliant, plain, tasteless to chew, and sometimes repetitive.
The article is basically no logic, no depth, no point of view, basically a pile of some materials, that is, to fill the water and make up the flow.
The most important thing is that there are many mistakes, Zhang Guan Li Dai, left and right contradictions, and deviates from the meaning of the questioner.
Then I went to try ChatGPT and found the bot to be much smarter:
Be able to quickly understand the questioner, answer accurately, comprehensively, and scientifically, as if it were a standard answer sent to you by an expert.
Oops, because of this feeling, I have been asking it questions for months: recommend me the book that suits me, what is the meaning of life, how to build a personal brand through writing, and even how to earn 1 million!
You don't have to painstakingly check the book, you can answer your various doubts, give you authoritative answers, and assembling this fragmented knowledge is actually a very high-quality article.
Porridge Zorro used it to write an article about ChatGPT, and no one even saw it. Classical used it to answer career development consulting questions, and it was well received.
As a copywriter, I used it to write a few simple copywriting and got paid. I have to say that ChatGPT is still quite fragrant. There are countless topics about it on Zhihu, and everyone is sharing and studying its anti-heavenly functions, drawing tables, drawings, and even making virtual people to talk to you.
Some people use this technology to "resurrect" the deceased grandma: upload photos and recordings, a variety of technology blessings, "grandma" seems to be on video call with you, although the action is still that kind of robot sluggishness, but have to sigh very magical.
Therefore, seeing the vast power of ChatGPT, many people have to worry, will the writer be unemployed, is there still a need for lawyers and painters to exist, is there still meaning in dreams, robots will do everything, will humans be destroyed by it? ......
What trends in the future we are not scientists, it is not easy to say, as an ordinary writer and copywriter, just in terms of the function of writing and consulting, I don't think there is to be so much panic. Here are a few reasons:
1. ChatGPT is good at listing, not logic.
You let it collect materials, such as finding 10 famous quotes about reading, finding news reports of Jack Ma in 2023, etc., this guy is in hand, but if you want it to write a deep article with clear logic, rigorous argumentation, clear views, and sufficient stories and case arguments, it will be difficult to do. At most, you will be given some simple and basic points, and you are free to play with it.
2. ChatGPT is good at answering, not at asking questions.
ChatGPT is essentially a robot, and if it is a robot, it needs a human to activate it, which means that it does not have the subjective initiative that Marx said: no consciousness, no ideas, and no desire. Although you tease it and ask it questions, it can do it, but it's not as good as its answer.
3. ChatGPT is good at summarizing, not at innovation.
ChatGPT's database is massive, but it also has a deadline for updating, and it is said that it will end in 2021. It knows nothing about what will be updated later. And it only summarizes the content of previous data, and is not very good at coming up with new ideas and researching new areas.
4. ChatGPT has only commonality and knowledge, no personality and feelings.
ChatGPT has a "superbrain" that uses natural language processing technology for text analysis and creation.
The process is more complicated, and it can be summarized simply:
First, split the input text into individual words.
Secondly, each word is analyzed. For example, in sentences, the roles and relationships of individual words.
Again, try to understand the user's intent or question.
Finally, generate an answer.
So how do humans think about writing articles?
First of all, get the topic analysis topic requirements.
Then, organize, analyze, and process the article material.
At the same time, integrate your own experience and experience.
Finally, form a complete article.
See the difference is not.
People write articles to connect their own unique experiences and the stories around them, and even show strong feelings and emotions at the end of the article to infect readers.
This is the most brilliant and readable part of our article. It's hard to imagine the bold, imposing "Departure Table" talking like a robot.
ChatGPT has no life, no experience, and no feelings. It only has a bunch of knowledge and information.
To sum up, chatGPT is a person who is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and responsive, but it is not active, has no character, no depth, and no emotion.
You can think of it as an obedient male assistant of science and engineering, using it to write reports, copywriting, news, summaries and other applied articles that do not require emotion and innovation, but writing essays, novels, opinion essays and other articles with a strong personal style will disappoint you.
So we don't have to worry about robots replacing human writing. A robot will always be a robot, and no matter how rapid and intelligent it is, it will not have the feelings and emotions unique to humans, that is, the experiences that our physical bodies bring us.
The five senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, through what we see, hear, smell, taste, feel, and realize to know and feel the world, this is something unique to us as human beings.
All knowledge of machines is based on the knowledge summarized by humans. It does not yet create itself, and it does not have the motivation or desire to do so.
All its desires come only from human beings. At best, it's just a high-tech tool.
But no one is perfect, tools are not perfect everywhere, as long as one aspect of it stands out, we can use it to empower our creations.
For example, no one washed the washing machine, but it did not delay us from using the washing machine. Digital cameras do not have the texture of film cameras, but they do not hinder the popularity of digital cameras.
The powerful functions of ChatGPT determine that it will be widely used in various fields to improve work efficiency.
So, we're good at using tools to empower our writing.
So how do we use it? Tell me about my own experience:
Just said, you can think of it as an obedient male assistant to science and engineering.
1. Collect materials, data, and stories to enrich the article.
2. Ask questions, and bots help themselves find the right angle and inspiration.
3. Simple application-oriented articles let the robot integrate and modify and polish by itself.
4. Understand recent hot topics and market data to help you find topics.
The classical teacher said that in the face of ChatGPT, you have to be a director, and ChatGPT robots are like actors, and actors perform according to the director's requirements.
This determines that you yourself must know acting, lighting, photography, and you must also know where your story script is going, otherwise you can only be led by the actor by the nose.
Finally, I think that robots will not replace our writing, but simple repetitive writing will definitely no longer need us to write.
If you only write what machines can write, then one day you may lose your job. In the future, articles with more style, personality, depth and novelty will be very popular. In other words, the future needs something with a "human" flavor.
