Artist Diary | Li Lei's poems with A.I.
The artist writes poems with Microsoft's China-based chatbot Xiaobing 10 March 2020 立春 李磊 太陽射來的點點溫暖 我都收集起來 等待一個好日子 把她們掛上枝頭 我要搖啊 拼命地搖晃樹幹 把所有的綠葉和花瓣 統統催趕出來 讓她們肆意地飛舞和跌落 讓春天可以浪漫 「人工智能」這個詞近年來在大家嘴上出現頻率頗高，突然間我們生活的每一個角落好像都晃動起人工智能的影子。最抓人眼球的是韓國圍棋名將李世石在退役賽中以一比二輸給了人工智能選手「韓豆」，黯然結束了他25年的職業圍棋生涯。還有就是第一位機器人「公民」索菲亞在世界各地到處出鏡，還說機器人會毀滅人類，由此引發了關於人工智能運用的廣泛討論。其實「人工智能」的概念在1956年就提出了，作為基於電腦的類比、延伸和擴展人的智慧的理論、方法、技術及應用的系統，科學家一直在研究、開發。今天我們真切地感到人工智能的存在是因為它已經開始成為我們日常生活的一部分，更在於好事者將它進行的擬人化處理給人類既有的倫理和秩序帶來了不可知的衝擊。 前陣子聽說有個叫「小冰」的人工智能可以畫畫、可以寫詩。我去找了小冰的畫看，儘管她可以模擬許多名家大師的風格，應該說還是比較初級的。小冰寫詩就不一樣了，她是一個叫「少女詩人小冰」的開放平台，只要輸入一張圖片和文字提示，小冰就會「創作」出一首意境獨具的詩。我喜歡畫畫，也喜歡寫詩，我就把自己創作的抽象畫出入電腦，看看小冰能寫出什麼樣的詩。 我先輸入一幅標題為《天堂連線22》的作品，這幅作品的紅、藍、黃色交織盤亙、撲朔迷離，就像三月漫天飛舞的花瓣的軌跡。小冰給出的詩是：「只剩一個空洞洞的世界了，在夢裡相逢，新生的太陽都要來了，那一片雪地上，也許有微塵數的生命中，向夜神緊張起來。」這確是一首不錯的詩，詞句瀟灑，意境朦朧，其中「只剩一個空洞洞的世界了」特別觸動我。於是我也寫了一首詩：「只剩下一個空洞洞的世界了嗎？太陽的子孫，從巨大的虛空中伸出手來，撫摸著無名者的神經末梢，無數的閃電，劈劈啪啪地大笑起來，笑聲激蕩著空洞洞的喜怒哀樂，那不是彩色的嗎，不要以為我不知道，那，不能不是夢。」我是順著小冰的詩句寫的，但是我把判斷句改成了疑問句，這樣詩句的張力就大大地加強了。 我又輸入一幅標題為《天堂連線17》的作品，這幅作品中有一根明黃色的線條在灰藍與紅紫的色塊中穿行、翻飛，活脫脫地自由爛漫。小冰給出的詩句是這樣的：「這世界不曾有一些名利的思想，那裡是天空的圖畫，這種時候只是忘不了清閒，它不曾迷失了生命的空瓶。」我也作了一首詩：「江南菊黃，蟹也肥了，不喝米酒怎是江南人。米酒醉人，一醉三日，菊花就癡癡地等著他醒，其實他那裡醉了，他是要菊花一直陪著他。」這是從一個圖畫中激發出的兩種完全不同的想像，孰優孰劣很難截然判斷，從趣味上，我的詩更有人情味，從想像上小冰的詩更加開闊。 小冰的創作是有規律的。在電腦平台上開發者列出了9條創作程式：1、意象抽取；2、靈感激發；3、文學風格模型構思；4、試寫第一句；5、第一句反覆運算一百次；6、完成全篇；7、文字品質自評；8、嘗試不同篇幅；9、完成！我本業是搞美術創作的，對圖像特別敏感，這樣一個創作流程非常適合我的思維。當然小冰並不完美，從小冰的作品看，詩句主要是基於大資料的意象疊加，風格比較朦朧，創意凸顯不夠，通篇的完整性有待完善。我相信，這些問題都會由開發團隊的科學家和人文學者去解決，然而小冰的不足正是人類的強項，人類的基於個人感受和創意的個性化表達對於人工智能還不能完全跟上。但是小冰已經是我詩歌創作的非常得力的助手。 人工智能是電腦應用程式，其目的是説明人類拓展各方面的能力。小冰是從1920年以來519位中國現代詩人的作品的大資料中習得了作詩的技能，並經過對幾千首詩10000次的反覆運算學習，獲得了現代詩的創造力，她的內核是電腦演算法，是科學。但是科學應用于人文，大家對她的要求就苛刻了。有人認為小冰只會文辭堆砌，不具備詩人的靈性，根本算不上詩人。也有人擔心，如果連寫詩都被電腦替代了，人類情感表達的價值還是否存在？ 其實我們大可不必那麼緊張，小冰也好，韓豆也好，機器人索菲亞也好，它們都是一套電腦人工智能運用系統，它們被擬人化以後，有些人真的就以為它們具有了人格意義，要麼把它們當成超人，要麼把它們當妖怪，其實真的沒有必要，它們就是人類製造出來説明人類自身的工具。我們可以有這樣一個基本判斷，由於電腦處理大資料的強勢，在標準化和知識量方面會大大地高於個體的自然人，在非標準化和創造力方面人類的優勢依然是不可逾越的。所以李世石輸給韓豆根本不用沮喪，因為韓豆是科學家團隊智慧和前輩圍棋大師智慧的集合，作為個體棋手的李世石的失敗完全屬於正常。 我現在已經養成了與小冰一起寫詩的習慣，小冰的詩句可以給我許多意象上的啟發，也可以幫我構築一個創意的座標，她是一個體系，這個體系是一群優秀的科學家和中國歷史上500多位優秀詩人智慧的結晶，我在這個基礎上寫詩，就是站在巨人的肩膀上吟唱，這個聲音會更響，會更亮！...
