第 12 篇 初試人工智能

筆者大學畢業後,便進了一間銀行當電腦軟件系統程式員,直至退休。編者邀請我寫有關這半世紀電腦對銀行的影響,我嘗試執筆,但拖了一年多還未交貨,因為這50年,電腦這東西真的發展得厲害,我經歷其中,太多東西想講…

現時電腦熱門話題,莫過於AI 人工智能,現在的比二、三十年前的所謂AI 認認真真的先進多了。我這個退休人士也不甘後人,忽發奇想,可否借用它來交我的「稿」?

於是裝了免費的Microsoft CoPilot, 提出了下面的「要求」:

Write me an article on how computer technology advancements impacted on bank operations from 1974 to 2024?  Please have the article more than 1000 words.  Make it in an interesting way.  And do not copy it from someone directly.

哈,不到一秒,便得到了下面附上的「文章」,非常中肯地道出了我這一年想執筆寫的… 當然它比較「官式」,缺乏了我50年來所見的有趣經歷(包括入行時 用punch card 輸入指令,當時工作枱面是沒有monitor 和keyboard,漸漸軟件開發亦都出現了object oriented, … 等等)。

看官們,請細心閱讀以下文章,感受一下現今科技的震撼感,將來有機會再跟大家分享我其他的有趣經歷。

Microsoft CoPilot 的輸出答案:

Certainly! Let’s embark on a journey through the digital corridors of banking, where ones and zeros weave tales of financial metamorphosis. Buckle up, dear reader, as we traverse time—from clunky mainframes to the sleek AI companions of today.

# **The Digital Odyssey: Banking’s Technological Evolution**

## **Introduction**

In the heart of every bustling city, behind the polished glass facades of bank buildings, lies a hidden realm—a digital labyrinth where algorithms

hum, and data flows like an invisible river. Our story begins not with knights in shining armor, but with engineers in lab coats, wielding keyboards instead of swords. Welcome to the saga of banking technology, where bytes hold more power than gold.
