玛格丽特·阿特伍德谈AI：垃圾进，垃圾出

在葡萄牙波尔图举行的巴别尔文学文化节上，《使女的故事》和《盲刺客》的作者玛格丽特·阿特伍德接受了采访。谈及人工智能话题时，这位著名作家毫不客气。

据《好莱坞报道》整理的采访内容，阿特伍德透露她只试用过Anthropic公司的AI聊天机器人克劳德一次，结果印象相当糟糕。当时她想查询英国侦探剧《布朗神父》的相关信息——"克劳德给出了错误答案，或者说它撒了谎。当然，它并不知情，因为它不是人类，只是一个大型语言模型……它浏览并采样了大量电视评论，但网络评论从不透露结局，所以它被自己读过的内容误导了。"

阿特伍德对依赖AI的人同样不客气，称其为"寻找捷径的机会主义者"。她指出，所有大型语言模型的质量都取决于输入的数据，把信任寄托在从已发表且可能过时的信息中抓取数据训练出来的机器上，并非明智之举。

"人类不是机器人，但他们是机会主义者——如果有容易作弊且难以被发现的方法，人们就会去做……但AI的问题在于：垃圾进，垃圾出。即使出于商业目的使用AI的人，也必须进行核查，因为它会犯错。"

Maraget Atwood, the storied author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Blind Assassin, was interviewed as part of the Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal. As it usually does at these things, the issue of AI came up, and Atwood didn’t mince words.
Margaret Atwood says the problem with AI is ‘garbage in, garbage out’
The Handmaid’s Tale author tried Claude exactly once, and wasn’t impressed.
The Handmaid’s Tale author tried Claude exactly once, and wasn’t impressed.
According to Deadline’s recap, Atwood said she’d used an AI chatbot exactly once, Anthropic’s Claude, and came away unimpressed. She was looking for information about the British detective series Father Brown and, well:
”Claude gave me the wrong answer, or it lied. Of course, it didn’t know it was lying because it’s not a human being; it’s a large language model... It had skimmed and sampled a lot of television reviews, but they never give away the ending in online criticism, so it was misled by the things it had read about the show.”
She didn’t have particularly kind words for the people who rely on AI either, calling them “opportunists” looking for the easy way out. But of course, as she pointed out, all LLMs are only as good as the data they’re fed, and putting your faith in a machine trained on scraped, previously published, and possibly out-of-date information isn’t the best idea.
“Human beings are not robots, but they are opportunists, so if there’s an easy way to cheat and it’s hard to detect, people will do it... But the thing about AI is that it’s garbage in, garbage out. Even people who use it for business reasons have to check it because it makes mistakes.”
