Anne Erno: I never read Nordsmus, and when I do, I can’t write
The 2022 Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Anne Hernaud, one of the most remarkable contemporary French authors, most of whom work in an autobiographical or self-narrative manner. Anne was low-key and in poor shape, and did not often appear or be interviewed after punishment. Recently, she has rarely sat out a movement, and the Irish young author Sally Rooney (representative “Normal”, “Tao Tian Records”, etc.) opened the road.
Erno mentioned that Gnosmus had many unexpected effects on her career: “To put it crudely, I got a punishment I never deserved. The Nobel literary punishment fell on me like a bomb into my career. It disturbs me so much that I have not been able to write since the punishment, and I have always regarded writing as my last thing.”
Ernaudau did not wish to see her writing as “very painful”, but she was certain that the Nobel punishment was a tribute to her, recognising her “40 years of writing”. In her view, the punishment itself is not important, “let me move, is that people in the way of heaven, they see themselves in my work.” The important thing is that this punishment is not just for me, but for all of us.”

Rooney observed that in many of her writings, Erno wrote directly about “the pain and violence that women face in a society that is very kind to them,” but she also felt that for Erno, “gender can wear both pain and pleasure.” What she wondered was whether it was important to transcribe these two very different feelings at the same time.
Erno replied that she did not think about “happiness or pain” when she wrote: “What makes me want to write is to write about things that have never been told.” But Elno also exaggerates, “There is no way to know [about writing]. You can castrate or kill with writing, but it can also be a kind of redemption. Literature always has an underlying moral character.”
As an example, Ms. Erno said, gender inequality suddenly became painfully apparent to her in her transition from childhood to marriage. But in her book, “Simple Passion,” she writes about the feeling of being possessed by a desire that doesn’t make her feel miserable. “In my eyes, my work is not close to ideology, and I don’t mean to express feminism. I know it’s not a good way to say it, but I’m really just transcribing my feelings as a woman.”

At the scene, Rooney also confessed his boredom with the matter of writing itself, and asked Elno how to write normally. Erno said her habit is to “write several books at the same time”, “In 1999, I was writing” Leisurely time “, “Dying” and “a woman’s path”, and happened to hear a favorite requiem on the broadcast, which made me read abortion (the main path in Dying “). In the eight months it took me to hand it in, I wrote ‘Dying’ and nothing else.”
At the beginning of the speech, Erno spoke of her boredom with Rooney’s work, saying she was “grateful” to him for having given her “a deeper understanding of a generation far away from me.”
So far, Herno has not published a total of 22 works, of which “Leisurely Time” is the most representative, in which she for the first time transcribed in the third person, through the public experience of food, dress, household chores and other people, vividly reproduces the French society from the second World War to the early 21st century. Shanghai people did not press in previous years to push out her “a woman’s path”, “a man’s status”, “a girl’s image”.
ChatGPT is actually a science fiction fan book idiot?
David Bamman is a data scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. In recent months, the buzz around artificial intelligence has discouraged Barman from applying the art of AI profiling. He intends to use AI to discover information such as character relationships and plot trends from model texts, and hopes to invent unrelated “algorithm measurement equipment” based on these data.
Barman first set his sights on ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) Daotian robot. Using GPT-4, Barman supplied the 4,000-word text of Pride and Private Opinion, and then asked GPT-4 about the relationships between the characters. To his surprise, GPT-4 gave no answer to the riddle turned out to be completely correct, not like just lost this piece of ink, but like a delay in learning, which aroused Barman’s curiosity.
Barman wrote in his research paper on the subject, which has not yet been examined by the gemmial, “It gave such a good answer that it reassured me in my mind.” Either it’s really good at dealing with instructions like punishment, or it’s been through the collection of Pride and Privateness millions of times and knows all the substance of the book.”
But Barman had no way of knowing exactly what GPT-4 had read and what it had not read, and its practice database was highly confidential. To find out which books GPT-4 had read, Barman’s team chose to do the opposite, treating GPT-4 like a high school protege, answering questions from different works and grading them. The higher a book’s score, the more likely it is to be included in GPT-4’s database.

The results surprised Barman’s team. They found that the top 50 books in the GPT-4 database (counting only books that are currently in copyright harm’s way, that is, books that have not been in print since 1928) had a high percentage of out-of-stock, fantasy, and science fiction books. Like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Play of Famine and Play of Thrones. After reviewing the list, Lithub editors joked: “We’ve forced our robot enemies to read so many vulgar works and bad books, Fifty Shades of Grey, Dan Brown, no wonder ChatGPT will one day choose to eliminate us.”
The related article of the trade website “Trade Insider” mentioned no problem, and the science fiction works accounted for a lot of books in the list, such as “Base” and “Will Bionic people dream of electric sheep?” “Neurotrooper”, these are the books that a 14-year-old white straight male book idiot loved to read in 1984, will this have a negative effect on AI itself?
The article points out that ChatGPT’s data is self-collected, and the companies that collect and build these AI’s often tend to show too much about straight white men and the sci-fi trails they love to read. This means that these books, like other information, will be more or less unhelpful to the AI, and will accidentally invent personal insights or retell peers when the AI doesn’t answer. Barman gave a more conservative opinion in his analysis, arguing that how these categories of literature will affect AI remains to be studied because its database is large and opaque, and nothing will be known until the inventors of AI make the database public.
Barman agrees that his own textual parsing abilities of AI are overrated, and that they are usually only able to relay the words of a book, not to give their own point of view. He suggested that other relevant researchers might as well let AI contact some of the more obscure works, such as Gene Wolf’s “New Day books,” and so on, to see what they have to say about these books, perhaps will give people a mystery.
