In early 2021, I hit a rut in my studies. As a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago in
Illinois, I worked to design safer, more effective materials for vaccine delivery. Although I had
been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer
translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. Something
had to change.
As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet
time” at the lab bench — for instance, when I was running columns or experiments — was
anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social
media on my smartphone. Although I could cover up this inefficiency with longer hours, my work
felt chaotic (混乱的) and disorganized. I would come home from a long day in the lab and respond
to e-mails or messages over dinner or in bed. This all came to a head last summer, when my
inability to balance work and life led me to seek help from the university’s student mental-health
services.
Through a combination of consultation and personal reflection, I came to understand my
problem. To regain my focus, I chose to reduce my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone
without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my
smartphone when I did use it.
Underscoring the addictive nature of smartphones, I experienced symptoms of withdrawal
when I first did this. With time, however, I began to make practical use of my quiet time. I started
reading papers during long experiments, and developed a habit of writing in my down time.
Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety decrease and my productivity and creativity
improve dramatically, trading my chaotic work-life relationship for one with clearer boundaries and
plenty of new scientific ideas. Now, even when I do carry my smartphone, I feel less forced to
check for e-mails or messages, and can concentrate more closely on whatever task is at hand.

When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT,
in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote
it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to
cheat on a writing task?
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I
believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more
generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of
regarding writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the
U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you
depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a
Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a
text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences
automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to
follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a
form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about
our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We
give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the
resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded:
“There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of
a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content,
such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage
people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.
8. What is the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will shape students’ writing style.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
