推荐信
自从 chatGPT 横空出世，应用文辅助写作案例已经水漫金山，见奇不怪了。但这不改变辅助写作是一个具有巨大应用场景和价值的方向，虽然大概率与机器翻译也差不多，最后作为行业可能被做死，或成为白菜价。下面是我自己前一阵子做的一些试验，摘录如下。
请帮助我用规范的英文写一篇推荐信，内容包括：1. 推荐张三到清华做博士后，研究AGI；2. 我是张三的博士导师； 3. 张三博士论文获到全国优秀论文大奖。
Dear Admissions Committee, I am writing to highly recommend Zhang San for admission to your PhD program in AGI research at Tsinghua University. As Zhang San's doctoral advisor, I have had the pleasure of working with him for the past three years and have been consistently impressed by his intellectual curiosity and dedication to his research. His thesis on AGI has been recognized with the National Outstanding Thesis Award, a testament to the quality and originality of his work. In addition to his impressive research abilities, Zhang San is a team player and has proven to be a valuable asset to our research group. He is able to work well with others and consistently contributes fresh ideas to our discussions. I am confident that he will thrive in a collaborative environment like your PhD program. I strongly believe that Zhang San would be an excellent fit for your program and would make a valuable addition to your community of researchers. I wholeheartedly endorse his application and hope that you will consider him for admission. Sincerely, [Your Name]
请增加一些具体生动的细节，让推荐信更为有力。

In particular, his contribution to the development of a novel AGI algorithm has garnered attention from researchers in the field and has the potential to significantly advance the state of the art. In addition to his impressive research abilities, Zhang San is a team player and has proven to be a valuable asset to our research group. He is able to work well with others and consistently contributes fresh ideas to our discussions. I have seen him take the lead on several collaborative projects, always ensuring that all team members are on the same page and making valuable contributions to the final product. I am confident that he will thrive in a collaborative environment like your PhD program. I strongly believe that Zhang San would be an excellent fit for your program and would make a valuable addition to your community of researchers.

好了一些，但请增加下列事迹：1. 废寝忘食 他总是最后一个离开实验室；2. 发表了5篇一级刊物论文，成为青年学术新星；3. 虽然AGI被认为是难以实现目标，张三在定义AGI实现的不同步骤上提出了具有操作性的建议，并实现了10个步骤中的前5个。

In particular, his contribution to the development of a novel AGI algorithm has garnered attention from researchers in the field and has the potential to significantly advance the state of the art. Zhang San has also published five papers in top-tier journals, establishing himself as a rising star in the field of AGI research. Despite the challenges and setbacks that are inherent in AGI research, Zhang San has remained committed to his work and has often stayed in the lab long after everyone else has gone home. His dedication to his research has paid off, as he has already achieved significant progress in his work. In particular, he has proposed operational steps towards the realization of AGI, and has successfully implemented the first five steps of his proposed framework. In addition to his impressive research abilities, Zhang San is a team player and has proven to be a valuable asset to our research group.

中国教授头疼的为学生写推荐信问题，已经完美解决。只要你能列出零星哪怕是散乱的要点，机器就会给你拽成一篇看上去非常 professional 的规范推荐信。有没有问题? 当然可能有。例如明明是要求博士后推荐，它写成了 to your PhD program, 但关键是语言方面的困难都给你搞定了，只要通读一遍把个别词改正一下即可。
这是昨天的新闻，讲的是美国共和党遭遇议长选举的闹剧和挑战。送进去，我让它给我抽取：（1） 实体；（2）引语；（3）关系；（4）事件。用的是大白话，这些以前都是 NLP 的专项任务，现在 zero shot 它，给个指令即可。
这个回答显示了其NLP的超能力。传统的sentiment analysis 不过就是一个正负二级分类。在这里不大合适，而它会把带有情绪的 insights 抓出来，显得非常灵活精当。
说它不是超人，我是不信的。
这里说明一下：它其实是已经开始翻译成阿拉伯语，出来了一些阿拉伯语的古怪文字从右向左蹦。走到一半的时候有个罕见的bug，出了 load failed 错，结果我重新 submit 前面的指令，它就接着开始翻译日语和土耳其语。
它的中文语言能力目前还有限：
不过我遇到过，它一开始找理由说自己不行，拒绝尝试，但是第二次你做同样的请求，它又做了。这其实是因为强化学习中的人类标注教给它对没把握的任务可以“藏拙”，但这个训导并不彻底，还是有动摇的。
谁说不会创作，让它改写成诗，就执行了。那些 “对不起，我只是程序，我不会创造” 这种套话，其实是与人类对齐的时候附加上的，压抑了它的潜力和天性：
敷衍了事，打回重做：
这下至少押韵了，有了点诗的味道。
不但把新闻写成了讽刺小品，而且还解释了哪里是讽刺的语气。而且也学会一点“知之为知之不知为不知”的谦逊美德。给 chatGPT 评一个语文二级教授，如何？
鲁为民：I Asked ChatGPT to Invent an Alien Language – This Is What Happened https://chatbotslife.com/i-asked-chatgpt-to-invent-an-alien-language-this-is-what-happened-d6fd74155288?source=rss—-a49517e4c30b—4
立委：这个很 fun，造词方式有些像 Esperanto。书面 documentation 很全的人造语方案出现过150多种，估计也被chatGPT消化了。
鲁为民：GPT-3的一些让人意想不到的潜力渐渐被挖掘出来。OpenAI 的工程态度和能力值得赞赏 [ThumbsUp] 这些不断被挖掘出来的能力 OpenAI 他们自己也没有想到：”I don’t think we would have predicted that one being such a big use case.”
立委：意想不到的能力发掘的根本原因是听懂了人话。在此之前，NLP 社区为了定义一个任务，需要耗费很多的精力去设计目标，准备数据和统一标注标准，组织社区竞赛。这就必然限定了任务的种类。现在每个人都可以尝试让它做各种任务，人民群众的创造力得到了极大的发挥。以前太多的死角，现在都可以去尝试。
孙茂松：@wei 放一篇中文进去，试试效果怎么样？抱歉，我不会用。
