| 摘要 |
本文基於ChatGPT對十幾位傳播學教授提問的回答，借鑒學界和業界的最新研究與討論成果，評估大語言模型在社會科學研究中的三種可能的角色：勤勉的學生、可靠的研究助理、獨當一面的課題負責人。本文進而切入大語言模型的三個關鍵問題：訓練數據、提示語寫作（prompt engineering），以及基於概率統計的模型是否可能具備認知能力。本文最後建議，在ChatGPT橫空出世，顛覆傳統的新形勢之下，社會科學學者當前應該處變不驚，繼續維持自己的主體地位，同時積極尋找將自己的智能與大語言模型的能力相接的方法。 |
| Abstract |
Based on ChatGPT’s responses to questions from several communication scholars and drawing on the latest research and discussions in academia and industry, I propose three possible roles for large language models (LLMs) in social science research: the diligent student, the reliable research assistant (RA), and the independent principal investigator (PI). I further discuss these roles in relation to three key issues of LLMs: training data, prompt engineering, and whether probabilistic statistical-based models can be cognitively competent. I conclude by suggesting that social scientists should continue to maintain their sovereignty in scholarly endeavors and actively seek ways to tap the intelligence of LLMs to empower their research.
