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.
技术领袖们表示,他们从未见过像人工智能现在所引起的变革那样迅速。受出版周期限制,作家只能行动得那么快。但我们开始看到一些认真的回应。在过去的三个月里,埃利夫•巴图曼发表了一篇长文,讲述了使用ChatGPT定位普鲁斯特的一句引文的经历——这是一种令人沮丧的体验,就像这项技术一样——而希拉•海蒂(Sheila Heti)则与人工智能合作,创作了一篇富有奇异和震撼的短篇小说,故事以一个名为“妈妈”(Mommy)的人工智能开始。
