内容总结：

去年，山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）邀请作家戴夫·艾格斯（Dave Eggers）为大约200名OpenAI员工做了一场演讲。艾格斯著作等身，写过无数小说、剧本和新闻作品，创办了文学杂志《麦克斯威尼》（McSweeney’s），还创立了多所支持作家及更广泛艺术领域的学校和非营利组织。因此，人们本以为他会走进公司办公室，分享如何保持高产、或如何在多个领域出类拔萃的秘诀。然而，据英国《金融时报》报道，艾格斯显然借此机会对OpenAI进行了猛烈抨击。

这位作家告诉OpenAI员工，ChatGPT“正在让整整一代人失声”，并直言：“ChatGPT对教育工作者生活的影响是灾难性的。无论你们有意还是无意，你们让每一位教师的生活变得比两年前困难了无数倍。所以，请好好消化这一点……如果学生们用它来写作——这是最大的悲剧——他们将永远学不会写作。他们的声音被剥夺了。他们将永远无法表达自己的真实想法、讲述自己的故事。这等于让整整一两代人彻底失声。”

平心而论，奥特曼可能早就料到会这样。艾格斯的畅销小说《圆圈》（The Circle）本身就是对科技行业的尖锐批判，他也曾将人工智能生成的文字称为“东拼西凑的废话”。

戴夫·艾格斯告诉OpenAI员工，ChatGPT正在“让整整一代人失声”

这位作家借萨姆·奥尔特曼邀其演讲之机，厉声抨击。

“ChatGPT对教师生活的影响是灾难性的。无论你们是否有意为之，你们让每位老师的生活都比两年前艰难了无数倍。所以，请好好掂量这一点……如果学生们用它来写作——而这是最惨痛的悲剧——他们就永远学不会写作。他们的声音被剥夺了。他们将永远无法说出自己的真相、讲述自己的故事。这正在让整整一两个人失声。”

平心而论，奥尔特曼大概事先清楚自己会面临什么。艾格斯的畅销小说《圆圈》是对科技行业的一记犀利批判。他还曾将AI生成的文字称为“拙劣的拼凑胡扯”。

Last year, Sam Altman invited author Dave Eggers to give a talk to around 200 OpenAI staffers. The man has written countless novels, screenplays, pieces of journalism, started McSweeney’s, and founded multiple schools and nonprofits that support writers and the arts more broadly. So one might expect he’d roll into the company’s offices and offer tips on being relentlessly prolific, or how to excel in multiple fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff:
Dave Eggers told OpenAI staff that ChatGPT was ‘silencing an entire generation’
The author used Sam Altmans invitation to give a speech as an opportunity to lash out.
The author used Sam Altmans invitation to give a speech as an opportunity to lash out.
“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”
To be fair, Altman likely knew what he was getting himself into. Eggers’ best-selling novel The Circle is a scathing critique of the tech industry. And he’s called AI-generated writing “pastiche nonsense.”
