AI写作"拼凑感"强 代写机构也不靠谱 去年保研武汉大学的小蔡告诉总台中国之声记者,此前他在写本科毕业论文时,曾借助过AI。 小蔡:"毕业论文课题研究过程中需要学习新知识,有很多之前不了解的东西,可以把我们不懂的问题 直接输入进去,让AI给我做一个比较系统全面的介绍,也让我们对技术、背景有更多的认识,节省时 间、提高效率。" 小蔡坦言,AI只是辅助工具,自己在论文的写作层面并不会依赖它。"每个人的文章都有不同的写作风 格,直接改写AI提供的文本有很强的拼凑感。" 合理使用AI会事半功倍,反之就会适得其反,甚至面临风险。在河北上大四的小张(化名)告诉记 者,为了图方便,他选择了论文代写机构完成毕业论文(设计)。 "我本身专业能力不是很强,我就想花2000多块钱,(这样就)不用管了,挺合适。机构承诺说这个东 西绝对可以做,会给出论文的开题报告、任务书、开题答辩的论文、中期答辩的论文、最后的论文,还 有论文的降重, ...
