1953 年,James Watson(沃森) 和 Francis Crick (克里克)在《Nature》上发表了一篇关于DNA 双螺旋结构的论文,其中的结论部分写道:“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. [我们并未忽视,我们所提出的特定配对方式,暗示了遗传物质可能的复制机制]”
这句话因其含蓄的表达和克制的语气而闻名,成为了科学文献中最著名的结论之一。他们以典型的英国式低调,宣布了生物学史上最重要的发现之一。
现在,假设时间来到 2025 年,沃森和克里克转向了 ChatGPT,要求它重写这段结论,使其更加清晰和直接。
他们将输入以下提示词:
“Please rewrite this conclusion to be clearer and more direct: ‘It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.’”
ChatGPT 的输出如下:
“The base-pairing structure we have described provides a clear mechanism for how DNA might replicate itself, which has significant implications for understanding genetic inheritance.
[我们所描述的碱基配对结构为 DNA 如何复制自身提供了一个清晰的机制,这对理解遗传继承具有重要意义。]
虽然 ChatGPT 的版本更加“易读”,但它失去了原文的含蓄和悬念。沃森和克里克的原句通过精心选择的被动语调和略带学术气息的表达,让读者自己去发现其重要性。而 ChatGPT 的版本则将这些微妙的情感全部抹去,就像将演讲中的恰到好处的停顿变成了一句简单的陈述。
“个人风格”在学术写作中的重要性
“声音”(Voice)——即通过词汇、语调、句法和视角的组合,形成独特的写作风格——在科学传播中扮演着重要角色。它不仅帮助读者理解作者的论点,还能让他们感受到作者的思考过程,甚至体会到作者为何认为某个发现具有重要意义。因此,“声音”不仅仅是写作技巧,它是人类思维在论文中的印记。
当 AI为了追求清晰度而牺牲“声音”时,某些本质的东西也随之丢失。大型语言模型(LLMs)本质上是一种复杂的自动生成系统,旨在满足大多数用户的需求。因此,它们默认使用中庸的词汇和缺乏想象力的句法。
那么,研究者如何更好的使用 AI,同时保留足够的"声音",使作品具有辨识度呢?
如何在 AI 写作中保留“声音”?有哪些实用的提示词模板?
为了在 AI 写作中保留个人风格,可以采取以下策略:
1. 创建特定分析提示词:要想让 AI 仿照你的风格进行学术写作,需要首先明晰自己的写作风格。通过分析自己的写作样本,生成具体的风格指令。例如,可以要求 AI 模仿某种特定的语调、句法或叙事风格。
提示词模板如下:
You are tasked with analyzing a piece of writing, identifying its stylistic elements, and creating a prompt that can generate text in a similar style. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Analyze the following text:
<text_to_analyze>
{{TEXT_TO_ANALYZE}}
</text_to_analyze>
2. Examine the writing style of the text. Consider elements such as:
– Tone (formal, informal, humorous, serious, etc.)
– Sentence structure (simple, complex, varied, etc.)
– Vocabulary (simple, advanced, technical, colloquial, etc.)
– Literary devices (metaphors, similes, alliteration, etc.)
– Narrative voice (first person, third person, etc.)
– Pacing and rhythm
– Any unique or distinctive features
1. Identify 3-5 key stylistic elements that define this piece of writing.
2. Select 2-3 short exemplars (phrases or sentences) from the text that best demonstrate these key stylistic elements. These will be used as few-shot examples in the prompt.
3. Develop a prompt that would guide an AI to produce writing in a similar style. The prompt should:
– Describe the overall tone and style
– Specify the key stylistic elements to emulate
– Include the selected exemplars as few-shot examples
– Provide clear instructions on how to apply these elements in new writing
4. Present your analysis and the resulting prompt in the following format:
<analysis>
Key Stylistic Elements:
5. [Element 1]
6. [Element 2]
7. [Element 3]
(etc.)
Selected Exemplars:
8. “[Exemplar 1]”
9. “[Exemplar 2]”
10. “[Exemplar 3]” (if applicable)
</analysis>
<generated_prompt>
[Your generated prompt here]
</generated_prompt>
Ensure that your generated prompt is clear, specific, and provides enough guidance for an AI to effectively mimic the style of the original text.
2. AI 工具将分析您的写作风格并创建风格说明:
完成上一步后,你将得到 AI 返回的专属你个人的写作风格。
以下为一位作者得到的反馈风格示例(根据输入内容的不同,得到的反馈也会不同):
Tone and Structure [风格和结构]:
- Maintain a scholarly yet approachable voice that bridges academic and practical perspectives
保持学术而平易近人的声音,将学术和实践观点联系起来
- Begin with broad concepts before diving into specific applications
在深入研究具体应用之前,先从广泛的概念开始
- Use first-person perspective strategically to share insights from experience
战略性地使用第一人称视角来分享来自经验的见解
- Address readers directly when providing practical guidance
在提供实用指导时直接与读者对话
Technical Content [技术内容]:
- Explain complex concepts using clear, precise language
使用清晰、精确的语言解释复杂的概念
- Include concrete examples to illustrate abstract ideas
包括具体示例以说明抽象概念
- Acknowledge both benefits and limitations of discussed approaches
承认所讨论方法的优点和局限性
- Connect theoretical frameworks to practical applications
将理论框架与实际应用联系起来
Writing Techniques [写作技巧]:
- Break down complex topics into digestible sections
将复杂的主题分解为易于理解的部分
- Use analogies to make technical concepts more accessible
使用类比使技术概念更易于理解
- Incorporate strategic repetition to reinforce key points
结合战略重复以强化关键点
- Balance technical terminology with plain language explanations
平衡技术术语与通俗易懂的语言解释
3. 实施
最后一步是将这些样式说明粘贴到 AI 工具中,并指导 AI 工具在未来的互动中按照此风格进行学术写作。
