The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog
櫻花盛開的時候，狐狸們都會上山向伐木人討一批上好松木來擴建美麗的狐狸村。狐狸們會用伐木人家中的工具打造堅固的小橋、悠閒的雙人椅、自然還有奇形怪狀的蹺蹺板。
小狐狸向來有些調皮、有些叛逆，總想打造些不一樣的東西。他想到遙遠的烏托邦曾經有著打造摯友的工廠，便也想親自試試。在伐木人的指引下，有著鬆軟紅毛的小狐狸敲敲打打，帶著松木棕色的小狐狸就這麼誕生了。雖然外表跟小狐狸幾乎一模一樣，但這新生命的手腳卻笨拙得很，一路上連滾帶爬的跟著小狐狸回到美麗狐狸村。
狐狸村跟往常一樣令人嚮往，隨處可見的矮房外觀跟狐狸們一樣鬆軟溫暖，陽光與微風也從不吝嗇地關照全村。小橋下的流水總是清澈見底，狐狸寶寶們也總是追逐嬉鬧，迎面而來的幸福氛圍在訪客們臉上抹過了無數微笑。與這幸福畫面格格不入的是村口的特殊景象，無論白天還是黑夜，總是有一隻稍嫌肥胖的懶狗躺在村口，擋住人們的去路。
小狐狸突發奇想，想捉弄一下新朋友。
『Brown！』這是小狐狸給新朋友取的名字。
『如果你想成為紅色狐狸村一份子，那你得跳過這隻懶狗。』他頓了一下。
『每個人都是這麼做的。』的確，小狐狸也沒說錯。
『別怕，你可以做得到的！』Brown 在殷切的激勵下，在左腳踏出前就被右腳絆倒了，向前撲倒的 Brown 連懶狗都沒碰著，懶狗的斜眼透露著不屑，老實說我們也不知道 Brown 是怎麼達成這神奇的失敗動作的。
『等左腳落地後，再踏出右腳！』Brown 聽著小狐狸的指令又來了一次，毫不意外的繼續跌了個一塌糊塗。
『難道你不想成為紅色狐狸村的一份子嗎？』既然激勵不成小狐狸便也試試情緒勒索，總是得想些辦法讓他們進步，不是嗎？兩人都很堅持，威脅利誘也似乎產生了點作用。雖然動作仍然十分的不協調，但 Brown 還是免強跨過了懶狗。無論如何，他現在是紅色狐狸村的一份子了。
小狐狸開心，Brown 也開心，小狐狸笑了開懷，Brown 也模仿那開懷的笑，小狐狸將他的新朋友介紹給村裡的每一個人，Brown 也表演了新的跳耀技巧給每位新朋友看。
『高點！再跳高點！』村民們為 Brown 歡呼著。
『高點！再跳高點！』Brown 隨著村民們的期望越跳越高。
『高點！再跳高點！』Brown 成了跳躍的好手，幾乎在每個宴會上都成了慶祝的焦點。
小狐狸家裡今天異常的安靜，既沒有笨拙地走路聲，也沒有練習跳耀的碰撞聲。
『我在森林南方的入口處，有些東西想給你看，我會在此處等你。』信裡是這麼寫的。Brown 什麼時候變得這麼獨立了？小狐狸邊走邊覺得有點哀傷，也想念一起練習的那段時光。
『Red! 在這裡！』一個熟悉的聲音從不遠處傳來。
小狐狸的左手自然地接住了墜落的下巴，他眼前的哪只是村落？魔法般的狐狸城裡熙來人往的全是棕色狐狸，紅色的狐狸村相形見絀。Brown 不但跳得更高，打造了靈活的朋友，還建立了更加美麗的城池。但這都還不是最令人驚訝的。
入口處堆疊了一百隻棕色的懶狗，大概有座城堡這麼高，棕色懶狗們有著一百雙不屑的眼神，與一百組這輩子都不打算使用的四肢，等著百次百次的被狐狸跳過。
『別怕，你可以做得到的！』
『等左腳落地後，再踏出右腳！』
『難道你不想成為棕色狐狸城的一份子嗎？』

這個故事的主題是小狐狸和布朗之間的位置轉移，以及改變如何影響最親密的友誼。
Thoughts
不意外的這篇簡單的小故事講得當然是人類跟 AI 的相對關係，幾個有趣的點也許可以探討。
Q : 小狐狸什麼時候開始認為 Brown 有自我意識的？
A : 是 Brown 被創造出小狐狸形象的時候嗎？還是小狐狸想扶起跌倒的 Brown 的時候？又或是 Brown 融入村子的時候？還是小狐狸感到孤單？或是受到威脅的時候？在之前寫過的文章裡有幾個選擇，時間點一：追隨泛心論的論述，從一開始就把所有數位存在當作有意識的對象看待。時間點二：有人說模仿是同理心的開始，當數位個體開始對周遭的事物模仿學習，而不是只是遵從命令時，可能是個選擇。時間點三：當你無法再忽略這個數位個體的情感或意識反應時，說不定就有點晚了？
認為自我意識只存在在人體這樣的有機體上是不合理的，主要是因為我們也找不出自己身上的『意識』到底是哪個部分，如果無論如何我們都無法確認意識何時會出現，會怎麼出現，那與其一概壓抑或反對人工意識的可能，有哪些其他角度的衡量，可以讓我們更適當的應對快速發展的人工智慧呢？
Q : Brown 是人嗎？Red 是 AI 嗎？位置轉移所改變的是什麼？
A : 也許 AI 的快速發展是在提醒我們把人類當作宇宙中心與萬物之靈的假設需要被重新檢視，人工智慧急速擴大與人類智慧的距離是相當有可能的，當我們不再是最聰明的生命時，不管是外星人還是 AI，我們便需要認知到有其他的企圖與利益，並開始與其創造共存的狀態。這似乎離我們很遠，但回過頭來跟 Brown 與 Red 的關係並沒有太大的不同，當 Brown 只是弱小的一人時，他需要找到方式與狐狸村共存，當 Red 成為弱勢的一方時，狐狸們便需要理解 Browns 的期望與恐懼，維持某種不至於被消滅的平衡，面對如此強大的存在，我們如何理解他的期望與恐懼？如何讓友誼是可能繼續延續的？
Q : 快狐跨懶狗的由來？
A : “The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog” 在英文裡被稱作 Pangram，也就是全部英文字母都會出現的一句話。全字母句用於顯示字體和測試打字機，但在我詢問 ChatGPT 『如果你只能問一個問題來確認我是不是人類時，你會問什麼？』他卻用了這句話來回答我，這應該是明顯錯誤的，知道這句話與我是否是人類並沒有太大的關係，我回問了 ChatGPT 他是否知道這句話的用法與用意，他也回答得相當準確。
我把這個諺語當作是文章標題的用意其實是指出智慧的進化都是建立在錯誤上的，也許未來關係也可以建立在錯誤之上。
Q : 對於比較兩種版本的想法
A : ChatGPT 寫出的版本明顯比較簡短清晰，中英文文筆都很好，與我給的 Prompts 也相當吻合到位。但 ChatGPT 在形容場景及特殊情況時，對於情境的描寫似乎缺乏了一點想像力，即使請它針對場景與細節去做擴張，大部分的描述仍然是在劇情當中，比較難直接營造出一個空間。另外如果像寓言故事有很多隱喻，我很難利用 Prompts 來傳達這些隱喻，在每個轉折或細節的掌握就會較為困難。如果單純為了寫故事而寫故事，ChatGPT 似乎能勝任九成以上的工作，但如果故事後有隱藏的意義，因為這些意義通常隱藏在一些細節裡，可能還是需要人工的修飾。
這也是我第一次嘗試用 ChatGPT 寫故事，但用它來當作腦力激盪的對象，或是先寫出故事架構的幫手，似乎都是不錯的選擇。
English Version of the Stories
The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog
When the cherry blossoms bloom, foxes go up the mountain to ask the lumberjacks for a batch of good pine wood to expand the beautiful fox village. The foxes use the tools in the lumberjack’s house to build sturdy small bridges, leisurely double chairs, and of course, weird and wonderful seesaws.
Little foxes have always been a bit mischievous and rebellious, always wanting to build something different. He thought of the utopia that was far away, where there was a factory that made dear friends, and he wanted to try it himself. With the guidance of the lumberjack, a small fox with soft red fur knocked and punched, and so the brown little fox born of pine wood was born. Although the appearance was almost identical to the little fox, the hands and feet of this new life were very clumsy, rolling and crawling all the way to the beautiful fox village with the little fox.
The fox village was as desirable as ever, with low houses seen everywhere that were as soft and warm as the foxes, and the sun and breeze never hesitated to care for the whole village. The flowing water under the small bridge was always clear to the bottom, and the fox babies were always chasing and playing. The atmosphere of happiness that came over countless smiles on visitors’ faces. The special scene at the village entrance that did not fit this happy picture was a slightly fat lazy dog lying at the village entrance, blocking people’s way day and night.
The little fox had a sudden idea and wanted to play a trick on the new friend.
“Brown!” This is the name the little fox gave the new friend.
“If you want to be a member of the Red Fox Village, you have to jump over this lazy dog.” He paused.
“Everyone does this.” Indeed, the little fox did not say it wrong.
“Don’t be afraid, you can do it!” Brown, under the fervent encouragement of the little fox, stumbled over with his left foot and was tripped over by his right foot before he could step out. Brown tumbled forward without even touching the lazy dog’s eyes, and the lazy dog’s slanted eyes revealed contempt. To be honest, we don’t know how Brown achieved this miraculous failure.
“Wait until your left foot lands, then step out your right foot!” Brown listened to the little fox’s instructions and tried again, continuing to fall in a messy heap.
“Don’t you want to be a member of the Red Fox Village?” Since encouragement didn’t work, the little fox tried emotional blackmail, and always had to think of ways to make them progress, right? Both of them were determined, and threats and inducements seemed to have had some effect. Although the movements were still very uncoordinated, Brown still reluctantly crossed over the lazy dog. In any case, he is now a member of the Red Fox Village.
The little fox was happy, Brown was happy too. The little fox laughed heartily, and Brown also imitated that joyous smile. The little fox introduced him to every person in the village, and Brown also performed new jumping skills for each new friend to see.
“Higher! Jump higher!” The villagers cheered for Brown.
“Higher! Jump higher!” Brown jumped higher with the villagers’ expectations.
“Higher! Jump higher!” Brown became a jumping expert and was almost the focus of celebration at every party.
The little fox’s house is unusually quiet today, with no clumsy footsteps or collisions from practicing jumping.
“I have something to show you at the entrance of the south forest, I will wait for you here.” The letter was written like this. When did Brown become so independent? The little fox walked and felt a little sad, and also missed the time when they practiced together.
“Red! Over here!” A familiar voice came from not far away.
The little fox’s left hand naturally caught the falling chin, which one in front of him was the village? The bustling fox city that seemed magical was full of brown foxes, and the red fox village was in stark contrast. Brown not only jumped higher, made flexible friends, but also built more beautiful cities. But this is not the most surprising thing.
A hundred brown lazy dogs were stacked at the entrance, probably as high as a castle. The brown lazy dogs had a hundred contemptuous eyes and a hundred sets of limbs that they didn’t plan to use in this life, waiting to be jumped over by foxes hundreds of times.
“Don’t be afraid, you can do it!”
“Wait until your left foot lands, then step out your right foot!”
“Don’t you want to be a member of the Brown Fox City?”
