透過對AI歷史發展過程的闡述， 推演未來的發展趨勢和產業前景， 講述了ChatGPT對社會各個領域的影響， 為讀者全面剖析了ChatGPT技術的本質和價值。 ▶AI的概念和萌芽 AI是一個包括了多重內涵的概念，一個是指有AI的電腦（智慧體），另一個是指AI科學和技術。分兩點來解釋： 第一，有AI的電腦可以透過模擬人類的智慧和行為，完成通常需要人類智慧才能做的任務。 第二，AI技術是讓電腦成為一個持續學習提高的學生，不僅能從數據中學習和提取訊息，並利用這些訊息來做出正確的決策，還能感知環境，更容易理解周圍的世界，更好地解決問題。 ▶ChatGPT已經開始替代人類的工作！ 一些調查顯示，很多工作任務已經開始被替代了。據美國《財富》雜誌網站報導，2023年3月的一項調查顯示，在1000家被調查企業中，有近50%的企業在使用ChatGPT，這些企業中，又有48%已經讓其代替員工工作。ChatGPT的具體職責包括：客服、程式碼編寫、應徵訊息撰寫、文案和內容創作、會議記錄和檔案摘要等。 目前來看，ChatGPT的工作得到了公司的普遍認可，55%給出了「優秀」的評價，34%認為「非常好」。由於使用了ChatGPT，有些企業已經節省了幾萬甚至十幾萬美元的成本。 ▶對人工智慧的恐懼和爭議 2023年3月，奧爾特曼在官方部落格上發表了一篇新文章，強調了其最初的使命：確保通用人工智慧（Artificial general intelligence，AGI）造福於全人類。他希望AGI賦予人類在宇宙中最大限度地繁榮。 奧爾特曼說，雖然AGI也會帶來濫用、嚴重事故和社會混亂的嚴重風險，但因為AGI的好處太大了，如果AGI被成功創造出來，會大大推動全球經濟發展，並幫助發現改變可能性極限的新科學知識，提高全人類的科技水平。因為AGI有潛力賦予每個人驚人的新能力，假如所有人都可以獲得AI的賦能，不僅能在認知任務方面得到幫助，還能讓聰明才智和創造力倍增。 因此，讓其永遠停止發展並不可取，社會和AGI的開發者必須想辦法把它做好，讓AGI成為人類的增強器，最大限度地發揮AGI好的一面和遏制其壞的一面。 ▶本書適用族群 1. 企業管理層和決策者：可以透過本書了解ChatGPT技術對不同領域的影響和應用，以便更好地利用AI技術優化業務流程、提高生產效率和提升行銷效果等。 2. 教育工作者和學生：可以透過本書了

How did lay people in old China save their lives when dealing with acute or chronic health issues? Conventional medicine was costly and might not have been an option for many. Instead, people in villages and towns relied on remedies drawn from a woodblock-printed illustrated booklet called the Seventy-Two Therapies, first published in 1847. The goal of this book is to foster an appreciation of China’s long tradition of folk remedies. Each folk remedy is illustrated by a page from the circa 1860s woodblock edition of the Seventy-Two Therapies which the author used for translation. He also added a historical and interpretive analysis to expand on each therapy and to place it in the context of contemporary thinking, aiming at academics and readers interested in the everyday lives of common people in pre-1950 China, and in the folk medicine wisdom inherited from the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The 72 specific disease
