paper’s view

ChatGPT could generate text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers detect whether students were using language generated by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing assignment?(more than this the almost same score would destroy not only students’ creativity but also their motivation to create)

The author thinks that AI will not only give rise to cheating but also threaten student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a vehicle for thinking.

The author made a survey about a host of issues related to the effects.

用户看见了负面影响

年轻人表示自动补全的AI模型破坏我们的拼写能力等。

个人表达能力削减

LLM能够移除个性，留下“规范”。自动补全文本会减少写作的作为一种精神活动和个人表达的形式的力量，We give others more algorithm and less of ourselves. … Automation … can stop us thinking.

LLM能够创造出没有错误的文章，但是不管是什么人都会在写作过程中犯错误，这或许是LLM区别于人的重要标志。不过写作重要的是过程而不是结果，代表着写作者写作过程中的所思所想。

教育层面的挑战

Conscientious students sometimes undertake aspects of the process themselves – as professional authors typically do. But the temptation to lean on editing and text generation tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT makes it all too easy for people to substitute ready-made technology results for opportunities to think and learn.

逐渐消退的主人翁意识

虽然高效的LLM模型能够提供给不仅是学生甚至是作家很多便利，但是学校仍要努力教会学生生成式AI的好处与坏处。

写作作为人类的独有形式

作者问ChatGPT它对于人类对于写作的热情是否是一个威胁，它如是回答道：永远有对于有创造力原创内容的需求而这要求有独特观点和见解的人类作家。写作具有很多的目的，除了内容的创新，还有自我表达、交际和自我成长等，这些都将持续激励人们去写作尽管某些类型的写作可以被自动化了。

作者认为The purpose of making writing assignments must be more than submitting work for a grade. Crafting written work should be a journey, not just a destination.
