孙燕姿谈AI
2023-05-28

这几个月,每天都被 AI 的各种新闻轰炸,不光投弹量大,还时不时扔颗核弹,能把某个领域夷为平地的那种。所以如果想聊,还是很有的聊的,但我内心越来越倾向于闭嘴。

原因么,是我头脑中感性和理性对抗,还未见分晓。一方面不忍说出理性主导的思考结果,另一方面也不想违背理性去灌鸡汤。

直到最近,看到孙燕姿谈及自己被 AI 一事,读完非常喜欢。我觉得可以借此来回答那个问题:在 AI 时代,我们该怎么办。

以下是原文:

As my AI voice takes on a life of its own while I despair over my overhanging stomach and my children’s every damn thing, I can’t help but want to write something about it.

My fans have officially switched sides and accepted that I am indeed 冷门歌手 while my AI persona is the current hot property. I mean really, how do you fight with someone who is putting out new albums in the time span of minutes.

Whether it is ChatGPT or AI or whatever name you want to call it, this “thing” is now capable of mimicking and/or conjuring, unique and complicated content by processing a gazillion chunks of information while piecing and putting together in a most coherent manner the task being asked at hand. Wait a minute, isn’t that what humans do? The very task that we have always convinced ourselves; that the formation of thought or opinion is not replicable by robots, the very idea that this is beyond their league, is now the looming thing that will threaten thousands of human conjured jobs. Legal, medical, accountancy, and currently, singing a song.

You will protest, well I can tell the difference, there is no emotion or variance in tone/breath or whatever technical jargon you can come up with. Sorry to say, I suspect that this would be a very short term response.

Ironically, in no time at all, no human will be able to rise above that. No human will be able to have access to this amount of information AND make the right calls OR make the right mistakes (ok mayyyybe I’m jumping ahead). This new technology will be able to churn out what exactly EVERYTHING EVERYONE needs. As indie or as warped or as psychotic as you can get, there’s probably a unique content that could be created just for you. You are not special you are already predictable and also unfortunately malleable.

At this point, I feel like a popcorn eater with the best seat in the theatre. (Sidenote: Quite possibly in this case no tech is able to predict what it’s like to be me, except when this is published then ok it’s free for all). It’s like watching that movie that changed alot of our lives Everything Everywhere All At Once, except in this case, I don’t think it will be the idea of love that will save the day.

In this boundless sea of existence, where anything is possible, where nothing matters, I think it will be purity of thought, that being exactly who you are will be enough.

With this I fare thee well.


以下是中文翻译:

当我正在为自己日渐凸起的肚子和孩子们的日常琐事感到绝望时,AI 孙燕姿粉墨登场,于是我不禁想写点什么。

我的粉丝们已正式改换门庭,接受我就是一名冷门歌手的事实,而我的 A 角色成为了目前的顶流。我想说的是,你跟一个每几分钟就推出一张新专辑的人还有什么好争的。

无论是 ChatGPT 还是 AI 或者你想叫它什么名字,这个“东西”现在能够通过处理海量的信息,同时以最连贯的方式拼接组合手头的任务,来模仿和/或创造出独特而复杂的内容。等一下,人类不就是这样做的吗?之前我们一直坚信,思想或观点的形成是机器无法复制的任务,这超出了它们的能力范围,但现在它却赫然耸现并将威胁到成千上万个由人类创造的工作,比如法律、医学、会计等行业,以及目前我们正在谈论的,唱歌。

你可能会反对,说我还是能分辨出区别的,它没有情绪,没有音调和呼吸(或任何你能想到的术语)的变化。很抱歉,我怀疑这只是一个非常短期内的回应。

讽刺的是,人类无法超越它已指日可待。没有人可以接触到如此大量的信息并做出恰当的抉择或犯下怡当的错误(0K,也许我领先一步了)。这种新技术将能够大量炮制每个人所需的一切。无论你多么小众、多么反常或者精神多么错乱,都可能有专门为你创建的独特内容。

你并不特别,你已经是可预测的,而且不幸你也是可定制的。

此刻,我觉得自己就像一个在吃爆米花、坐在电影院最好的位置上的人。(顺便说一句:当前情况下,很可能没有任何技术能预测出作为我本人是什么感受,直到这篇文章出现在网络上)。就像在看那部改变了我们很多人生活的电影《瞬息全宇宙》,只不过在这种情况下,我不认为爱的理念可以挽救局面。

在这无边无际的存在之海中,凡事皆有可能,凡事皆无所谓,我认为思想纯净、做自己,已然足够。

就写到这里,祝你一切顺利。


在过去,音乐、画画这些可能是为了取悦别人,但在将来,更多是取悦自己。挺好。
