Mignon Fogarty: 我邀请Daniel来是因为他对AI的看法很有趣，他是一家为编辑制作产品的公司的CEO，该公司正在推出一款新的AI产品，但他过去对AI的评价相当负面。我很高兴听到他是如何思考这个问题的。 Daniel Heumann: 我最初对AI写作持否定态度，因为我发现AI生成的文章不如我自己写的那么好，而且花费的时间更长。写作之所以重要，是因为它是一个认知练习，我们在写作时会思考我们所说的内容是否正确，以及人们会如何回应。DraftSmith的目标是使AI改写句子的过程对编辑有用，通过消除提示，用按钮替换提示，并将其引入Word，使其与修订模式一起工作。虽然AI在某些方面有所改进，但仍然存在一些问题，例如能源消耗和对就业市场的影响。然而，AI也可以创造公平的竞争环境，例如在学术出版领域，它可以帮助那些以英语为第二语言的作者提高语言质量。
