孙燕姿回应英文信火爆

As my AI voice takes on a life of its own while I despair over my overhanging stomach and my children's every damn thing, I can't help but want to write something about it.

当我正在为自己凸出的肚子和孩子们的日常琐事烦心时，AI孙燕姿已正式“出道”，于是我决定来写一些对它的感想。

注： 

take on a life of its own

表示“becomes very large, important, or hard to control(展示出自身分量；具有强大生命力)”

My fans have officially switched sides and accepted that I am indeed 冷门歌手 while my AI persona is the current hot property. I mean really, how do you fight with someone who is putting out new albums in the time span of minutes.

我的粉丝们都已跳槽，也同时接受我就是一名冷门歌手的事实，而我的AI角色也成为了目前所谓的顶流。毕竟该怎么跟一个每几分钟就能推出一张新专辑的“人”比呢？

注： 

冷门

an unexpected winner; dark horse

足球比赛中爆冷门叫 upset，赛前被看好的一方叫 favorite，赛前不被看好的一方叫 underdog

Whether it is ChatGPT or AI or whatever name you want to call it, this "thing" is now capable of mimicking and/or conjuring,  unique and complicated content by processing a gazillion chunks of information while piecing and putting together in a most coherent manner the task being asked at hand. Wait a minute, isn't that what humans do? The very task that we have always convinced ourselves; that the formation of thought or opinion is not replicable by robots, the very idea that this is beyond their league, is now the looming thing that will threaten thousands of human conjured jobs. Legal, medical, accountancy, and currently, singing a song. 

无论是ChatGPT、AI或叫什么名字都无所谓，这个“东西”能够通过处理海量的信息，同时以最连贯的方式拼接组合手头的任务，来模仿和/或创造出独特而复杂的内容。等一下，这不就是人类已经在做的吗？之前我们一直坚信，思想或观点的形成是机器无法复制的任务，这超出了它们的能力范围，但现在它却赫然耸现并将威胁到成千上万个由人类创造的工作，比如法律、医学、会计等行业，以及目前我们正在谈论的，唱歌。

注：

capable of

(事物)可以…的; 能…的; 易…的; (人)敢于…的;

a gazillion chunks of

大量的

You will protest, well I can tell the difference, there is no emotion or variance in tone/breath or whatever technical jargon you can come up with. Sorry to say, I suspect that this would be a very short term response.

你可能会反对，说自己还是能分辨，它既没有情绪，也没有音调（或任何你能想得到的专业术语）的变化。很抱歉，我怀疑这只会是个非常短暂的反应。

Ironically, in no time at all, no human will be able to rise above that. No human will be able to have access to this amount of information AND make the right calls OR make the right mistakes (ok mayyyybe I'm jumping ahead). This new technology will be able to churn out what exactly EVERYTHING EVERYONE  needs. As indie or as warped or as psychotic as you can get, there's probably a unique content that could be created just for you. You are not special you are already predictable and also unfortunately malleable.

讽刺的是，人类再怎么快也无法超越它。没有人类能够获得如此大量的信息并且在正确的时机做出正确的决策，或者犯下正确的错误（OK，或许我想得有点太远）。这项新技术将能够为每个人提供他们所需要的一切，无论是独立的、扭曲的还是疯狂的，都可能会有一种专门为你创作的独特内容。你并不特别，你已经是可预测的，而且不幸的是，你也是可塑的。

注：

jump ahead

抢先一步; 更进一步说

churn out

粗制滥造出

At this point, I feel like a popcorn eater with the best seat in the theatre. (Sidenote: Quite possibly in this case no tech is able to predict what it's like to be me, except when this is published then ok it's free for all). It's like watching that movie that changed alot of our lives Everything Everywhere All At Once, except in this case, I don't think it will be the idea of love that will save the day.

此时此刻，我觉得自己像是一个在吃着爆米花、坐在电影院最好的位置上的观众。（顺便说一句：这种情况下，很可能没有任何技术能预测我本人是什么感受，直到这篇文章出现在网络上）。这就像看那部改变了我们生活的电影《瞬息全宇宙》，有别于电影的是，爱并不是拯救这一切的关键。

美国著名女歌手惠特妮·休斯顿就有一首歌名为Love Will Save The Day。

In this boundless sea of existence, where anything is possible, where nothing matters, I think it will be purity of thought, that being exactly who you are will be enough.

With this I fare thee well.

在这无边无际的汪洋大海中存在，凡事皆有可能，凡事皆无所谓，我认为思想纯净、做自己，已然足够。

就写到这里，祝你一切安好。

注：

fare thee well是一句古英语，表示祝你好运，常在道别时使用。

thee在古英语中是你的意思，我们熟悉的莎士比亚名句“Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?（我能否将你比作夏天？）”也用到了这个词。

许多歌曲和诗歌中都用到了fare thee well。

诗人拜伦曾写过：

Fare thee well but for a day.

Then we mix our mouldering clay.

和你再见吧一一只分别一天，

然后你与我在一处朽烂。
