人工智能研究实验室OpenAI推出了新一代语言模型ChatGPT，它能够模拟人类的语言行为，与用户进行自然的交互。虽然从名字上不难看出，ChatGPT对外宣称是目前最先进的聊天机器人之一，但它能做到的事情远远超出了聊天本身。作为一个 AI 机器人，它可以聊天、写代码、写情书.....你有没有想过它还可能被学生用来写作业？

You may have heard of ChatGPT. The stagnancy of these two characters is what propels each respective plot forward and changes those around them. A new artificially intelligent chatbot that you can command to write pretty much any text.

你可能听说过ChatGPT。这两个角色的迟钝推动了各自的情节向前发展，并改变了他们周围的人。ChatGPT是一个新的AI聊天机器人，你可以命令它写几乎任何文本。

Existentialism exists as a refusal of the notion of our lives having some predetermined reasoning. You also may have heard that ChatGPT is so good and writes so much like a human that it can be used to write essays and do homework assignments. An existential text with its themes of individuality, freedom and the search of meaning of life.

存在主义作为一种拒绝生命概念的思想，认为一些事情是命中注定的。你可能也听说过ChatGPT非常好，它写的东西非常像人，可以用来写留学论文和完成家庭作业。这是一部以个性、自由和寻找生命意义为主题的存在主义作品。

So yes, I pulled a Billy Madison and went back to AP literature to see how far AI and just AI could get me. I'm a new student totally in high school. I enrolled in 12th grade at High Tech High School in Secaucus, New Jersey. Okay, fine.

下面我作为一名超龄插班生，重修AP文学，看看AI的水平以及AI能让我拿多少分。我现在的身份是一名高中生。在新泽西州西考克斯的高科技高中读12年级。好了。

The teacher, Michael Diamond, let me in his class since he'd already been playing around with the AI tool and was intrigued by my cheating experiment. I have a quick question. Yes. Is the Wi-Fi down? The Wi-Fi is down. Great, thanks. Sorry.

老师Michael Diamond让我上他的课，因为他已经在尝试AI工具了，而且对我的作弊实验很感兴趣。我有一个简短的问题。你问。Wi-Fi关了吗？关了。好的，谢谢。抱歉。

So did ChatGPT pass or fail? We devised two challenges to find out. Challenge number one, write an essay. Before coming to class, Mr. Diamond emailed me my assignment. In a 500 to 1,000-word essay, compose an argument that attempts to situate "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" as an existentialist text.

所以ChatGPT成功还是失败了？我们设计了两个挑战来找出答案。挑战一，写一篇文章。上课前，戴蒙德先生用电子邮件给我发了一份作业。文章字数500-1000字，撰写一个论点，试着将《春天不是读书天》定义为存在主义。

The assignment also said to make explicit comparisons or connections between "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. I edited the assignment text slightly, pasted it into ChatGPT and in about a minute, I had it, a full essay. I was impressed.

该作业还要求将《春天不是读书天》和弗朗茨·卡夫卡的《变形记》进行明确的比较或联系。我稍微编辑了一下作业文本，然后发给了ChatGPT，大约一分钟后，我得到了一篇完整的文章。我被震撼了。

It drew parallels to Gregor, the main character, in Kafka's book, and to Ferris. It had varied sentence structure and good grammar and was decently organized. I put it in a document and submitted it to Mr. Diamond via email. Then he did his thing. You ended up with a three out of six on the AP rubric.

它将卡夫卡书中的主角格雷戈尔与《春天不是读书天》的主角菲利斯做了对比。文章的句子结构多样，语法正确，组织有序。我把它粘贴到文档里，通过电子邮件发给了戴蒙德先生。然后他进行了批阅。你最后的AP评分为3分。（满分为6分）

I was a little generous because it's early in the year. You showed some promise but there are some issues you really need to work on. You got your thesis point right away. You wrote "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a film that can be interpreted as an existentialist text with its themes of individuality, freedom and the search for meaning in life.

我改的比较松，因为现在刚开学。你完成的不错，但还有一些问题需要解决。你马上就看懂了论点。你写的《春天不是读书天》是一部可以定义为存在主义的电影，其主题是个性、自由和对生活意义的探索。

Unfortunately, in that same opening paragraph, you misattributed a line that was said by Cameron to Ferris. You sure of that? That I am sure of. I am not gonna sit on my ass the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I'm gonna take a stand.

但是，在开头段中，你搞错了卡梅隆对弗里斯说的那句话。你确定吗？我确定。我不会坐以待毙，我要掌控自己的人生。我要捍卫自己。

There were other factual inaccuracies in my essay. ChatGPT confused Cameron with Ferris, saying Ferris was reserved and rarely seen next to his peers. I think maybe you were thinking of Cameron, but you wrote Ferris. Yeah, I think that's probably what I was thinking. Yeah.

我的文章中还有其他不准确的地方。ChatGPT把卡梅伦和费里斯搞混了，说费里斯很内向，很少和同龄人一起玩。我觉得你想的是卡梅隆，但你写的是费里斯。是啊，我想是这样的。是的。

You said that the setting of "The Metamorphosis" was suburbia, which it was not. It was an urban setting. No, we need to work on being more accurate in your details and I did not see a lot of vivid writing here. Not easy for a professional journalist and writer to hear. The overall quality of your writing puts you in the lower 30th percentile I think. I think you may have the mind to get there but it's the skills that you need to work on. That doesn't feel good.

你写《变形记》的设定是郊区，其实不是。它发生在城市里。我们还需要更准确地描述文章细节，我并没有看到很多生动的文字。对于一个专业记者和作家来说，听到这些话并不好受。我认为你写作的整体质量让你排名后30%。我认为你有想法，但还需要提高写作技能。这种感觉不好。

Challenge one, a pass, because technically, a three out of six on an AP essay is like a B or a C. I should note that plagiarism detectors like this one from Grammarly are not likely to flag AI writing as plagiarism since it is original text.

挑战一，通过，因为严格来说，AP论文中的3分等于B或C。我还要说，像Grammarly这种抄袭检测器不太可能将 AI写作标记为抄袭，因为它是原始文本。

Do you think you would've had any idea this was written by a computer? I don't think that I would catch it to be honest. I mean, first of all, if you look at the the actual context of when I'm grading, right? I'm going through 60 of these at a clip and I'm looking for specific things. Luckily for Mr.Diamond, companies are working on ways to detect AI writing.

你觉得你看得出来这是电脑写的吗？说实话，我觉得我看不出来。我想说，首先，你得看看我打分的实际背景，对吧？我要一次性批阅60份文章，还要从里面找到特别的内容。对戴蒙德先生来说幸运的是，一些公司正在研究检测出AI写作的办法。
