AI and Human Writing

AI 與人類寫作


Introduction

AI can now write texts. It is hard to know if a human or a computer wrote a story.

現在 AI 已經可以寫文章。很難分辨故事是由人類還是電腦寫的。

Main Body

Many people think they can find AI writing. They are often wrong. Professor Claire Hardaker says people are only right 60% of the time. AI learns from humans, so they write in the same way.

許多人認為他們能發現 AI 的寫作。但他們通常是錯的。Claire Hardaker 教授表示,人們僅在 60% 的時間裡判斷正確。AI 向人類學習,因此他們的寫作方式相同。

Some writers use AI and then lie about it. Some people use special tools to find AI text on websites. These tools are not perfect. They often miss the AI text.

有些作者使用 AI 之後會對此撒謊。有些人使用特殊工具來尋找網站上的 AI 文本。這些工具並不完美,經常會遺漏 AI 文本。

AI does not have a body or real feelings. Professor Peter Stockwell says AI only uses old information. It cannot create new or strange ideas like humans can. AI makes all writing sound the same.

AI 沒有身體或真實的情感。Peter Stockwell 教授表示 AI 僅使用舊資訊。它無法像人類一樣創造新穎或奇特的想法。AI 讓所有寫作聽起來都一樣。

Conclusion

We cannot always tell the difference between humans and AI. But AI cannot be truly creative because it is not alive.

我們無法總是分辨人類與 AI 的區別。但 AI 無法真正具有創意,因為它不是生物。

🧩 The Power of "CAN" and "CANNOT"

In this text, we see a very important word for A2 students: Can. We use it to talk about abilities (things we are able to do).

How it works:

  • Positive: Subject + can + action word.
  • Negative: Subject + cannot + action word.

Examples from the text:

  • AI can write texts. → (It has the ability)
  • AI cannot create new ideas. → (It does not have the ability)
  • We cannot always tell the difference. → (It is impossible for us)

💡 Simple Rule: Notice that we do not add "s" or "ing" to the action word after can.

AI can writes (Wrong) ✅ AI can write (Right)

Quick Comparison:

  • Human → Can be creative ✅
  • AI → Cannot be truly creative ❌
