Why Does It Matter?

為什麼你需要這些服務?

Why do I even need a human writer, you ask? Why not AI?

您會問:我幹嘛要找個真人寫東西?幹嘛不用 AI?

Generative AIs are useful for writing generally; but by design they are trained to write like an average person with fixed knowledge, and can be rather unimaginative and repetitive overtime. Good writing or translating is an art of storytelling, which involves careful researching, thinking and organizing around the domain, subject and their context. The process is often organic, dynamic and nonlinear, much like painting a picture, instead of predicting words mathematically.

生成式 AI 很適合一般用途寫作,但其設計是訓練成模仿普通人寫作,只擁有固定的知識,而且長期下來的創意有限、重複性高。出色的寫作或翻譯其實是一門說故事的藝術,牽涉到對相關領域、主題與其脈絡的仔細研究、思考跟整理。這種創作過程經常是有演進性、彈性和非線性的,相當類似在作畫,而不是單純以統計學連續預測字詞而已。

As for translating, a good translator plays a reliable bridge connecting two worlds containing different cultural concepts and ways of speaking. No languages can be translated word-by-word to another, and only one with sufficient understanding can find you the balanced path of readability and faithfulness.

至於翻譯,優異的翻譯者扮演了可靠的橋樑,能銜接兩個有著不同文化及表達概念的世界。沒有任何語言能完全逐字逐句翻譯成另一者,而只有對雙方語言具備充足理解的人,才有辦法在可讀性和忠實性之間取得適當平衡。

Are you looking for someone who can give your business content a boost for differentiation and better user engagement? Are you having trouble with content quality using ChatGPT or alike? I may be the one to help you to get there.

您是否想找人讓您的商業內容更上一層,做出差異化和改善使用者參與度嗎?你在使用 ChatGTP 之類的工具上有遇到內容品質不佳的問題嗎?我或許就是能幫您推一把的那個人。
