AI Writing 人工智能寫作

Since I started blogging in April 2023, I have published no more than fifty articles.  The reason for the low output is not my insistence on bilingual release, but the organization of the content.
自從我2023年4月開始寫部落格以來,我發表的文章不超過五十篇。產量低的原因不是我堅持雙語發布,而是內容的組織。

When ChatGPT from Open-AI became hot news, I started trying to find smart tools to assist my writing.  It is better if the tool is free.  This search process is not easy.  First, the registration of ChatGPT was a process of being angry.  To protect the related technology from being stolen, Open-AI requests that the users provide a phone number outside the area of the People's Republic of China (including the areas of Hong Kong and Macau) to receive the register code.  It means I, as a resident of Macau, was not a qualified user of ChatGPT.
當 Open-AI 的 ChatGPT 成為熱門新聞時,我開始嘗試尋找智慧工具來輔助我的寫作。如果該工具是免費的就更好了。這個尋找的過程並不容易。首先,ChatGPT的註冊是一個讓我生氣的過程。為保護相關技術不被竊取,Open-AI要求用戶提供中華人民共和國地區(含香港、澳門地區)以外的電話號碼以接收註冊碼。這意味著我身為澳門居民,不是ChatGPT的合格用戶。


Writesonic is the first writing tool I have tried.  I have done nothing since the first registration, just clicked "Sign-in with Google" and logged in with my Google account. Besides the variety of writing patterns it has provided, the chatbot Chatsonic also helps as an "information station" when I need to find information for my writing. Although it is one of the tools that supports multiple languages, I found that the fluency of its Chinese text generating is lower, and it is also a lot of confusion when I asked the chatbot to define in English for certain Chinese terms for distant relatives. However, it is a good assistant for English writing. Unfortunately, after I used up the free word count it offered for trial, I had to deactivate it, as it promoted various plans for different amounts of word counts, but none of them were suitable for an amateur writer who writes not much.
Writesonic 是我嘗試的第一個書寫工具。 自從第一次註冊以來,我什麼也沒做,只是點擊「使用 Google 登入」並使用我的 Google 帳戶登入。除了提供多種寫作模式外,聊天機器人 Chatsonic 還可以在我需要尋找寫作資訊時充當「資訊站」。雖然它是支援多種語言的工具之一,但我發現它生成的中文文本流暢度較低,而且當我要求聊天機器人用英文定義某些遠親的中文稱謂時也很混亂。不過,它卻是英文寫作的好幫手。不幸的是,當我用完它提供的免費試用字數後,我不得不停用它,因為它推廣了各種不同字數的計劃,但沒有一個適合寫得不多的業餘作家。


I found Rytr and Smodin for half a year. Both of them are my writing assistants now. The free plan of Rytr allows me to write up to 10k characters every month. On the other hand, the limited plan (for trial) of Smodin allows me 3 writing credits per day. Each credit is equal to a text in 1000 characters. Both of them own their own chatbot, and can "Sign-in with Google" or register with another e-mail. Although their performance of generating articles in languages besides English, there is still room for improvement, and the combination of productivity of both seems not much, but enough for me. Their task was to make up for my own shortcomings: generating the first draft of an English article in a very short time, which was organized by the information on the network that related to the topics and key-phrases provided by me. As for the later editing, such as proofreading, rhetoric, Chinese translating and comparison of bilingual texts, I can handle it easily.
我用 Rytr 和 Smodin 半年了。他們現在都是我的寫作助手。Rytr 的免費方案給我每月最多一萬 個用於寫作的字元。另一方面,Smodin 的有限計劃(試用計劃)允許我每天獲得 3 個寫作額。每個額相當於一篇 1000 個字元的文字。他們倆都擁有自己的聊天機器人,並且可以「使用 Google 登入」或使用其他電子郵件地址註冊。雖然他們在生成英語以外的語言文章的表現上仍有改進的空間,而且兩者的生產力結合起來似乎不多,但對我來說已經足夠了。他們的任務是彌補我自己的不足:根據我提供的與主題和關鍵字相關的網路訊息,在很短的時間內產生一篇英文文章的初稿。至於後期的校對、修辭、做中文譯本、雙語文本對比等編輯工作,我都能輕鬆應付。


I have now started testing two new tools, ChatGTPfree and Microsoft's Copliot. I have not tested the deeper functions of both yet, but my sense that the accuracy of information and the completeness of (English) articles generated from the chatbot of ChatGTPfree is slightly superior to the chatbot of Copliot.
我現在開始測試兩個新工具,ChatGTPfree 和 Microsoft 的 Copliot。我還沒有測試過兩者的更深層的功能,但我覺得 ChatGTPfree 的聊天機器人生成的資訊的準確性和(英文)文章的完整性略優於 Copliot 的聊天機器人。


After my casual talk about the writing tools I have tested, I have to remark that the contents generated by these tools may not be all correct, users must perform manual review and proofreading to ensure the reliability of the content.
閒聊完了我測試過的寫作工具,我必須說一句,些工具產生的內容不一定都是全部正確的,使用者必須進行人工審核和校對,以確保內容的可靠性。

The tests of the writing tools mentioned above were against their web versions. Here is their URL:
上述書寫工具的測試都是針對其網頁版進行的。這是他們的網址:
Writesonic  -  https://writesonic.com/
Rytr  -  https://app.rytr.me/
Smodin  -  https://smodin.io/
ChatGTPfree  -  https://chatgptfree.ai/
Copilot  -  https://copilot.microsoft.com/

Finally, is there anyone who could solve my problem that I am not good at doing the article organization? I have to experience my nightmare again to release this article. This release is the 38th edition and the tools I mentioned are less help in this text issue, as the organization of second-hand information on the Internet can not express my personal experience and senses. 
最後,有誰能解決我不擅長文章組織的問題嗎?我不得不再次經歷我的噩夢才能發布這篇文章。這次發布是第38版,我提到的工具對於本文的幫助不大,因為網路上二手資訊的整理無法表達我個人的經驗和感受。
