先听一遍

听听人工智能摘要遗漏了谁的关切,学生们怎样修正展示内容。

Our class interviewed six people about the station square. We recorded their ideas and used an AI tool to make a short summary. It said, “Most people want more places to sit.” That was true, and it fit neatly on our slide.

While checking the recordings, I heard a delivery worker explain that parked bicycles sometimes blocked the narrow path. Another person using a cane had described the same problem. Their concern appeared only once in the summary, under “other comments.”

I asked my group whether we should leave the slide as it was. We agreed that the summary had captured a common wish but had hidden an important safety issue. We added a second point and included who had raised it, without sharing anyone's name.

The AI tool had saved us time. It had not decided which details mattered to our project. To make that decision, we had to return to the original voices and think about whose daily route we were describing.

读懂了什么?

读完后,试着用一句话说出本文的主要意思,并从原文找出支持它的一句话。

我们班采访了六个人,询问他们对车站广场的看法。我们录下他们的意见,用一款人工智能工具生成简短摘要。摘要写道:‘多数人希望有更多座位。’这确实符合采访内容,也正好能放进幻灯片。

检查录音时,我听见一位送货员说,停放的自行车有时会堵住狭窄的通道。另一位拄手杖的人也提到了同样的问题。在摘要中,他们的担忧只在‘其他意见’下出现了一次。

我问组员,是否该让幻灯片保持原样。我们认为,摘要抓住了一个普遍的愿望,却掩盖了重要的安全问题。于是,我们加上第二点,说明提出问题的是哪些人,但没有公开任何人的姓名。

人工智能工具替我们节省了时间,却不能替我们决定哪些细节对项目重要。要作出这个判断,我们得回到原始录音,想一想我们描写的是谁每天走过的路。
