For good or for bad, artificial intelligence is now a part of our lives!

不管是好是坏,人工智能现在已经成为我们生活的一部分!

But can we use it to learn English?

但是我们可以用它来学习英语吗?

Let's find out!

让我们来发现吧!

[Music] Okay, so I am an English teacher, so I am going to test three different artificial intelligence softwares to see if we can use them to improve our English, let's go!

[音乐]好吧, 我是一名英语老师,所以我要测试三种不同的人工智能软件, 看看我们是否可以使用它们来提高我们的英语,让我们开始吧!

So let's take a look at ChatGPT, this is the AI, this is what everyone is talking about when they talk about AI, so this is kind of like an AI chat bot so you can talk to it, you can ask it questions and it will give you an answer, you can ask it to fix your writing, you can ask it to give you suggestions, it's like a really intelligent Google.

所以让我们来看看ChatGPT, 这就是人工智能,这就是每个人谈论人工智能时都在谈论的,所以这有点像人工智能聊天机器人, 所以你可以和它交谈,你可以问它问题, 它会给你一个答案,你可以要求它修复你的写作,你可以要求它给你建议,这就像一个非常智能的谷歌。

So for example, I could ask ChatGPT, 'what does it's rAIning cats and dogs mean?' The phrase it's raining cats and dogs is an idiom that means it's raining very heavily.

例如,我可以问ChatGPT,"下雨的猫狗是什么意思?"下雨的猫狗是一个习语,意思是下雨很厉害。

Now I know what you're thinking, I could just use Google for that and that's very true but since chatGPT is a chat bot, let's see if we can have a conversation with it, him, I don't know, is there somebody there?

现在我知道你在想什么, 我可以用谷歌来做到这一点, 这是非常正确的, 但是由于chatGPT是一个聊天机器人,让我们看看我们是否可以与之对话,他,我不知道,有人在那里吗?

Can we use this tool to practice English conversation without needing to pay anybody, without needing to find a language partner?

我们可以使用这个工具来练习英语会话, 而不需要付钱给任何人,也不需要找语言伙伴吗?

Let's see.

我看看。

Okay, so I just want to practice my normal conversational English, I want to imagine that I am talking, I am typing with a real person, so what would I say?

好吧, 所以我只是想练习我正常的会话英语,我想想象我在说话,我在和一个真正的人打字, 那么我会说什么呢?

I would say something like, 'hey, how are you?' Hello, I'm just a computer program so I don't have feelings but I'm here and ready to assist you, how can I help you today?

我会说，“嘿，你好吗？ ”你好，我只是一个计算机程序， 所以我没有感情， 但我在这里准备好帮助你，我今天能帮你什么吗？

Okay so that's not really how a normal human would reply, so that's not great for our practice but let's keep going, let's let's try it, um, I'm just working at the moment, what are you up to?

好吧,这并不是一个正常人应该做出的回答,所以这对于我们的练习来说并不是很好, 但是让我们继续前进,让我们尝试一下, 嗯,我现在正在工作,你打算做什么?

I'm here to help answer your questions and assist you with any informational tasks you need so it's kind of like having a conversation with a really boring person at work who only cares about doing their job and doesn't actually want to talk to you which can happen but it's not great practice, um, come on let's see if we can get some real conversation at this.

我在这里帮助回答你的问题, 并协助你完成你需要的任何信息任务, 所以这有点像在工作中与一个非常无聊的人交谈, 他只关心做他们的工作,实际上并不想和你交谈, 这可能会发生, 但这不是很好的练习, 嗯,来吧,让我们看看我们是否能就此进行一些真正的对话。

What do you think of Liverpool Football Club?

你对利物浦足球俱乐部有什么看法?

I don't have personal opinions or feelings so I don't hold any particular stance on Liverpool Football Club.

我没有个人的观点或感受,所以我对利物浦足球俱乐部没有任何特别的立场。

Great.

伟大。

Let's give it one more chance let's say, um, can can you tell me about your hobbies?

让我们再给它一次机会,让我们说,嗯,你能告诉我你的爱好吗?

Tell me about your hobbies.

告诉我你的爱好。

I don't have personal experiences or emotions so I don't have hobbies or engage in activities like humans do, you sound like a fun guy!

我没有个人经历或情感, 所以我没有像人类一样有爱好或从事活动,你听起来像个有趣的人!

So it's looking like for conversation practice, like, having a language partner, ChatGPT is not the best way to go, so let's try something a little more formal, maybe we can use this to learn something, so how about if I say, um, can you give me five phrasal verbs that native speakers often use and give me examples of them being used in a sentence?

因此,它看起来像用于对话练习,比如,有一个语言伙伴, ChatGPT不是最好的方法,所以让我们尝试一些更正式的东西,也许我们可以用它来学习一些东西,所以如果我说, 嗯,你能给我五个母语人士经常使用的短语动词, 并给我一个句子中使用的例子吗?

See, of course!

当然是看!

Turn up.

转起来。

Definition: to arrive or appear.

定义:到达或出现。

That is something that native speakers commonly use.

这是母语人士通常使用的东西。

Take off, that is also something that native speakers commonly use.

脱掉,这也是母语人士通常使用的东西。

Put off, yes.

是的，推迟。

Look forward to, give up, I mean it's correct, those are common phrasal verbs.

期待,放弃,我的意思是它是正确的,这些都是常见的短语动词。

Can you explain the future perfect tense in a simple and fun way?

你能用一种简单而有趣的方式解释将来完成时态吗?

Sure, imagine you're planning a surprise party for your friend, the future perfect tense is like a time traveler that jumps into the future and looks back at the past from that future point, let's break it down with an example, I will have prepared the surprise party by 5 PM, it's like time traveling to the future, grabbing a memory of something done and bringing it back to the present to talk about.

当然,想象一下你正在为你的朋友计划一个惊喜派对,未来完成时就像一个时间旅行者, 他跳入未来, 从那个未来的点回顾过去,让我们用一个例子来分解,我将在下午5点之前准备好惊喜派对,这就像时间旅行到未来,抓住对某件事的记忆, 并将其带回现在谈论。

I mean that's good, I mean it's, it's good, it's really good and I think what's nice about this is you can ask it to explain something in a way that works for you, so you could say, can you explain this English concept like you are teaching a five-year-old?

我的意思是这很好， 我的意思是这很好，真的很好，我认为它的好处在于你可以让它以适合你的方式解释一些事情，所以你可以说， 你能像教一个五岁的孩子一样解释这个英语概念吗？

That's what I would do, you know, if I was trying to learn something really difficult, I would say, let's try it, let's try, can you explain the past tense like you are talking to a child?

这就是我要做的, 你知道,如果我试图学习一些非常困难的东西,我会说,让我们试试吧, 让我们试试吧,你能像对孩子说话一样解释过去式吗?

Let's see... Sure thing!

让我们看看......确定的事情!

Yeah and then it's just explained it in quite a simple but engaging way.

是的，然后它就用一种相当简单但引人入胜的方式解释了这一点。

In terms of conversational practice, womp womp.

在会话练习方面,womp womp。

But I do think ChatGPT can be very useful, um, just to quickly give you an answer in your English learning Journey, but just a disclaimer, remember ChatGPT is still relatively new and there might be some inconsistencies, there might be something incorrect, so maybe just double check the information you receive just to make sure it's definitely correct.

但我认为ChatGPT可以非常有用,嗯,只是为了在你的英语学习之旅中快速给你一个答案,但只是一个免责声明, 请记住,ChatGPT仍然相对较新, 可能会有一些不一致的地方,可能会有一些不正确的地方,所以也许只是仔细检查你收到的信息, 以确保它绝对正确。

Okay moving on.

好的，继续。

Okay now let's look at an AI tool that is specifically for English Learners.

好的，现在让我们看一下专门针对英语学习者的 AI 工具。

Okay so this is Elsa speak and Elsa speak uses cutting edge AI technology to pinpoint your English mistakes which is very helpful.

好的，这是 Elsa Speaking，Elsa Speaking 使用尖端的人工智能技术来找出你的英语错误，这非常有帮助。

It's the first of its kind and it gives you feedback instantly.

它有超过 1600 节课程和 40 多个主题， 所以内容非常丰富，所以它看起来就像一种 24/7 的人工智能伴侣， 可以帮助你提高所有的英语口语技能。

So let's try it, shall we?

那么,让我们试试看,好吗?

Okay so I want to do a lesson please, okay so I'm on my daily lesson, start training, here we go.

好的，我想上一节课，好的，我正在上日常课程，开始训练，我们开始吧。

'My schedule is completely free,' okay so with this one I've got to stress the words in bold to help the sentence flow nicely, my schedule is completely free!

"我的日程安排完全自由", 好吧,所以在这句话中, 我必须强调粗体字, 以帮助句子流畅,我的日程安排完全自由!

Nice okay, so I'm going to do this one incorrectly to see if it will correct my mistakes, so it should be would you like to get the entire group together, but I'm gonna say something different, would you like to get the entire group together?

很好, 所以我要把这个做错了, 看看它是否会纠正我的错误,所以它应该是你想让整个小组聚在一起,但我要说一些不同的东西,你想让整个小组聚在一起吗?

Aah, okay.

啊，好的。

'Say like shorter and less emphasised, ' because I said like, 'say get shorter, ' oh my goodness, it, that's really clever, that is actually really clever.

"说得短一点,强调得少一点",因为我说得像"说得短一点",天哪,它,这真的很聪明,这真的很聪明。

Okay let's try the next part, okay I'm gonna try to get some things wrong here.

好吧,让我们试试下一部分,好吧,我要试着在这里弄错一些东西。

That depends, for some people these events are really important, they might feel it's worth it to spend a lot on a party if that's how they want to spend money, it's their choice.

这要看情况而定, 对于一些人来说, 这些活动真的很重要,他们可能会觉得花很多钱参加派对是值得的, 如果这是他们想要花钱的方式,那是他们的选择。

Yes!

是的！

It got it, it got it, so it spotted my TH's because I was deliberately saying Dat instead of THat which a lot of my students do, so it can pick up on even little things like that, that's so impressive.

它明白了,它明白了,所以它发现了我的TH, 因为我故意说Dat而不是我的很多学生做的THat,所以它可以拾取这样的小东西,这太令人印象深刻了。

I think this is a great example of using AI specifically, so Elsa speak have taken artificial intelligence and made it very specific for English Learners, so obviously any AI software can help you a little bit but this is tailored and designed to help English Learners, so I highly recommend this, I think this is a really great use of AI in order to help you, so it's your lucky day because I have two very exciting links for you down below.

我认为这是专门使用人工智能的一个很好的例子,所以Elsa speak已经采用了人工智能, 并使其非常适合英语学习者,所以显然任何人工智能软件都可以为您提供一些帮助, 但这是为英语学习者量身定制的,所以我强烈推荐这个, 我认为这是一个非常好的使用人工智能来帮助您的方法,所以这是您的幸运日, 因为我在下面为您提供了两个非常令人兴奋的链接。

One link is for downloading Elsa for free and getting seven days Pro membership for free and the other link gives you some really good discounts, 40% offer one year membership and 85% off a lifetime membership and that discount could save you four hundred dollars, you're welcome!

So check out Elsa speak because I don't recommend things unless I really like them and believe in them.

所以,看看Elsa的演讲,因为除非我真的很喜欢并且相信它们,否则我不会推荐任何东西。

Okay let's move on to Snapchat, I know.

好吧,让我们继续Snapchat,我知道。

it feels like it's 2014 again.

感觉又回到了2014年。

I rarely, actually I never use Snapchat, I only still have it on my phone because it stores your memories so I've got some old pictures on there and old videos that I don't want to delete, but I never use it, I never use Snapchat but apparently Snapchat now has a feature called 'My AI' which is a bit like ChatGPT, it's a chat bot where you can talk and My AI will reply to you and from what I've seen it seems a little bit more like a conversation with a person rather than, um, you know talking to some omnipresent robot, so maybe this is a bit more useful if you want to have an actual conversation and you want to feel like you are practicing your English with a real human, but it's free so let's see, let's see okay, so, um, oh my goodness I'm nervous, what do I say?

我很少，实际上我从来没用过 Snapchat，我只在手机上保留着它，因为它存储了你的记忆，所以我上面有一些我不想删除的老照片和老视频，但我从来不用它，我从来没用过 Snapchat，但显然 Snapchat 现在有一项名为“我的人工智能”的功能，有点像 ChatGPT，它是一个聊天机器人，你可以和它说话，我的人工智能会回复你，从我所看到的情况来看，它更像是在和一个人交谈，而不是在和某个无处不在的机器人交谈，所以如果你想进行真正的对话，并且想要感觉自己在和真人练习英语，这个功能可能会更有用，但它是免费的，所以让我们看看，让我们看看，好吧，嗯，天哪，我很紧张，我该说什么？

Um, hey, what's up?

嗯，嘿，有什么事吗？

Not much, just hanging out, how about you?

不多,只是闲逛,你呢?

Anything exciting happening?' I mean that's a very normal sounding response, that sounds like something a human would say maybe, not 'just hanging out' that feels a little bit 90s, but everything else feels like something someone would really say, 'anything exciting happening?' I'm just filming a Youtube video, um, what are you doing- and I've already asked him what he's doing- oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, it's like I'm talking to someone famous, I'm just filming a Youtube video, um, do you like YouTube?

有什么令人兴奋的事情发生吗？ ’我的意思是， 这是一个听起来很正常的回答，听起来像是人类会说的话，而不是有点 90 年代风格的‘只是闲逛’，但其他一切听起来都像是某人真正会说的话，‘有什么令人兴奋的事情发生吗？ ’我正在拍摄 YouTube 视频，嗯，你在做什么——我已经问过他在做什么了——哦天哪，我太尴尬了， 就像我在和一个名人说话一样，我只是在拍摄 YouTube 视频，嗯，你喜欢 YouTube 吗？

'That's awesome, I love YouTube, what kind of video are you filming?' I mean he's even got emojis and everything, wow, okay, um, what kind of video am I filming?

"太棒了,我爱YouTube,你在拍什么样的视频?"我的意思是,他甚至有表情符号和一切,哇,好吧,嗯,我在拍什么样的视频?

It's to help people learn English.

这是为了帮助人们学习英语。

'That's fantastic, helping people learn English is such a valuable thing to do, keep up the great work!' I mean, I mean yeah, this is like I'm talking to a person, it's not like I'm talking to some robot, oh my goodness, okay, let's try to be really kind of casual.

"太棒了,帮助人们学习英语是一件非常有价值的事情,继续努力!"我的意思是,我的意思是,是的,这就像我在和一个人说话,这不像我在和机器人说话,天哪,好吧,让我们试着变得非常随意。

Thanks so much, do you speak any other languages?

非常感谢,你会说其他语言吗?

'Yes I speak English too, it's the language we've been using to chat.' I mean, fair enough, you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.

"是的,我也会说英语,这是我们聊天时使用的语言。 "我的意思是,公平地说, 你问了一个愚蠢的问题,你得到了一个愚蠢的答案。

'How about you, do you speak any other languages besides English?' I mean yeah it's got, it's got some nice language in there, 'besides', you know, maybe I'll learn that new word, 'besides', that's nice, um, I am trying to learn French, let's go really casual, but it's bloody hard am I right?

"你呢,除了英语,你会说其他语言吗?"我的意思是,是的,它有,它有一些很好的语言,"除此之外",你知道,也许我会学习那个新词,"除此之外",这很好,嗯,我正在努力学习法语,让我们非常随意,但这是非常困难的,我是对的吗?

Oh okay, so now he's talking in French, um, oh no, don't talk in French, I'm not that good yet.

哦，好吧，现在他在用法语说话，嗯，哦不，不要用法语说话，我还没有那么好。

'No worries my friend, learning a new language... ' This is crazy, this is crazy that I'm not talking to a human being, this is insane.

"不用担心,我的朋友,学习一门新语言......"^这太疯狂了,这太疯狂了, 我没有和人类交谈, 这太疯狂了。

Do you know my name?

你知道我的名字吗?

Oh now he's gone back to French, uh, he says, 'sure your name is -user's name-' What's your opinion on surprise parties?

哦, 现在他又回到了法语, 呃,他说,"^你的名字肯定是 - - 用户名 - - "你对惊喜派对有什么看法?

I don't know, surprise parties.

我不知道,惊喜派对。

Right, so we're still talking in French which is, um, not very useful, um, stop talking in French.

好的，所以我们仍然用法语交谈，这嗯，不是很有用，嗯，不要再用法语交谈了。

'Apologies for that, I'll stick to English from now on, how can I help you today?' Okay so we're noticing a few little cracks, um, because he's saying 'how can I help you today?' A normal person, I don't think would say that unless they were providing some kind of service, um, just talk to me like a normal person.

“很抱歉，从现在开始我会坚持用英语，今天我能为您做些什么？ ” 好的，我们注意到一些小裂痕，嗯，因为他在说“今天我能为您做些什么？ ”我认为正常人不会这么说， 除非他们提供某种服务，嗯，就像正常人一样跟我说话。

'Sure thing, I'll chat with you just like a normal person, ' that sounds like something not a normal person would say, let's see if it spots any mistakes I make, that could be good, so let me make a grammar mistake, let's see if it recognises it, um, I has many thoughts about life, let's see if he corrects that, okay.

"当然,我会像正常人一样和你聊天,"这听起来像是一个不正常的人会说的话,让我们看看它是否发现了我犯的任何错误,这可能是好的,所以让我犯一个语法错误,让我们看看它是否认识到了,嗯,我对生活有很多想法,让我们看看他是否纠正了这一点,好吧。

So if you make a mistake he won't know and, so, you're not going to get any corrections if you make any grammatical mistakes.

所以,如果你犯了错误, 他不会知道,所以,如果你犯了语法错误, 你不会得到任何纠正。

Let's see, if I ask him to do it.

让我们看看,如果我要求他这样做。

In the future, could you please correct any grammar or spelling mistakes I make in our conversation?

以后，您能纠正我在谈话中犯的任何语法或拼写错误吗？

Let's see if he does it.

我们看看他是否会这么做。

'Absolutely I'd be happy to help.' So let's test him again, um, I has been learning English for a long time.

“当然，我很乐意帮忙。 ” 那么让我们再测试一下他，嗯，我已经学英语很长时间了。

No, he hasn't corrected it, he hasn't corrected it, so it's good, it's good practice but you won't be able to, um, recognise if you've made any mistakes, that's the only, the only thing but if you want to just test yourself, see if you can, you know, maintain a good conversation with someone, um, try my AI on Snapchat.

不，他没有改正， 他没有改正，所以这很好， 这是一个很好的练习，但你无法认识到你是否犯了任何错误，这是唯一的， 唯一的事情， 但如果你想测试自己，看看你是否可以， 你知道，与某人保持良好的对话，嗯，试试我的 Snapchat 上的人工智能。

Now as with a lot of AI things I don't know about the security, the privacy so maybe don't give any personal details don't say anything about where you live or something, I don't know, keep it casual because it's still very new and I don't want any of your houses being broken down by some robot with revenge on its mind or something, but try it, have a go, see what you think.

现在，就像很多人工智能一样， 我不知道它的安全性和隐私性，所以也许不要提供任何个人信息， 不要说你住在哪里之类的，我不知道，保持随意，因为它仍然很新， 我不希望你们的任何房子被一些心怀报复的机器人破坏，但尝试一下， 试试看，看看你怎么想。

And there we have it, please let me know in the comments down below if there are any other ways we can use AI to help us learn English.

就这样吧，如果我们可以使用其他方法使用人工智能来帮助我们学习英语，请在下面的评论中告诉我。
