知名 AI 學者 Ethan Mollick 提出「與魔法師共事」的隱喻,指出當前 AI 並非傳統軟體,而是具備強大卻不穩定能力的魔法師。在「參差不齊的技術前沿(Jagged Frontier)」上,AI 可能在困難任務上表現驚人,卻在簡單任務上出錯。人類必須學會扮演「驗證者」,透過深度整合(如半人馬或賽博格模式)來駕馭這股魔法般的技術。

University of Pennsylvania Wharton School professor Ethan Mollick, in his latest article, compares the experience of collaborating with generative AI (such as ChatGPT and Claude) to "Working with Wizards." He points out that AI operates on a fundamentally different logic from traditional software: traditional software is highly predictable, logically transparent, and has clear boundaries; AI, on the other hand, is like a powerful, erudite, yet unpredictable wizard — capable of casting astonishing spells, but sometimes delivering answers that appear perfect yet are completely wrong (hallucinations).
