以下是利用 AI 为我们工作的一些方法：
草拟任何东西的初稿。博客文章、论文、宣传材料、演讲、讲座，选择自己的冒险、剧本、短篇小说——你可以说出来，人工智能做得很好，而且相当好。你所要做的就是提示它。提示制作不是魔法，但基本提示会导致无聊的写作，[但提高提示并不难，只需与系统互动。](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/on-boarding-your-ai-intern)你会发现，作为作家，只需稍加练习，人工智能系统就会更有能力。让你的写作变得更好。将你的文本粘贴到人工智能中。要求它改进内容，或就如何为特定受众提供更好的建议。要求它以截然不同的风格创建10个草稿。要求它使事物更生动，或者添加例子。用它来激发你做得更好的工作。帮助你完成任务。AI可以做你没有时间做的事情。像实习生一样使用它写邮件，创建销售模板，给你一个商业计划的下一步，等。[这是我在30分钟内可以用它支持产品发布所能完成的事情](https://oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/superhuman-what-can-ai-do-in-30-minutes)。[解锁自己。](https://oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/how-to-use-ai-to-unstick-yourself)从一个任务中被一个困难的挑战分散注意力是非常容易的。AI提供了一种让你自己有动力的方式。
These two powerful opposing forces,the pervasive expectation of writing and the irreducible difficulty of doing it,create enormous pressure.This is why eminent professors often turn out to have resorted to plagiarism.The most striking thing to me about these cases is the pettiness of the thefts.The stuff they steal is usually the most mundane boilerplate—the sort of thing that anyone who was even halfway decent at writing could turn out with no effort at all.Which means they're not even halfway decent at writing.Till recently there was no convenient escape valve for the pressure created by these opposing forces.You could pay someone to write for you,like JFK,or plagiarize,like MLK,but if you couldn't buy or steal words,you had to write them yourself.And as a result nearly everyone who was expected to write had to learn how.Not anymore.AI has blown this world open.Almost all pressure to write has dissipated.You can have AI do it for you,both in school and at work.The result will be a world divided into writes and write-nots.There will still be some people who can write.Some of us like it.But the middle ground between those who are good at writing and those who can't write at all will disappear.Instead of good writers,ok writers,and people who can't write,there will just be good writers and people who can't write.Is that so bad?Isn't it common for skills to disappear when technology makes them obsolete?There aren't many blacksmiths left,and it doesn't seem to be a problem.Yes,it's bad.The reason is something I mentioned earlier:writing is thinking.In fact there's a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing.You can't make this point better than Leslie Lamport did:If you're thinking without writing,you only think you're thinking.
但更令人兴奋的是，使用人工智能来帮助教育的可能性，包括帮助我们学习。[我写过关于人工智能如何用于教学](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/assigning-ai-seven-ways-of-using)，并[帮助教师的生活更轻松，课程更有效](https://oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/using-ai-to-make-teaching-easier)，但它也可以用于自学学习。你可以要求人工智能解释概念并获得非常好的结果。这个[提示是一个很好的自动导师](https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1669434927761313807?s=20)，可以[在这里](https://chat.openai.com/share/ec1018ec-1d86-4160-b587-354253c7d5cb)找到一个[直接链接来激活ChatGPT中的导师](https://chat.openai.com/share/ec1018ec-1d86-4160-b587-354253c7d5cb)。因为我们知道人工智能可能会产生幻觉，所以明智的做法是（小心！）根据其他来源仔细检查任何关键数据。
