Yesterday, my daughter came to visit us. During our conversation, she mentioned something that caught my attention. She told Julie that she had started using ChatGPT to help our granddaughter, Haily, improve her writing.
Haily enjoys writing very much. She has many ideas and likes to express herself freely. However, like many children, she struggles with spelling. Instead of correcting her again and again in the traditional way, my daughter decided to try something different—she turned to AI for help.
Hearing this made me pause and think. In our family, across three generations, we are now all using AI in different ways.
Listening to this reminded me of something I learned when I was young: the most important thing in writing is simply to start. Just write. Along the way, there will be problems with grammar, spelling, and technique—but through the process, the writing gradually finds its way. Consistent writing, more than anything else, is the key to improvement.
Today, with the help of AI, people can get ideas, guidance, and techniques to improve their writing. It is no longer a lonely process. Whether it is writing emails, essays, or simple daily notes, there are tools available to support and encourage better expression.
For young learners like Haily, AI can gently correct spelling and suggest improvements. For people like me, it helps organize thoughts and present them more clearly. In this way, AI becomes not just a tool, but a learning companion.
I would encourage Alison and Haily to explore different AI tools, not just ChatGPT. There are others, such as Gemini and DeepSeek, that can offer different perspectives and suggestions. By trying a variety of tools, they can broaden their understanding and gain more experience in using AI for writing.
At the same time, the goal is not to depend on too many tools, but to learn how to express ideas clearly and confidently. AI can support the journey, but the voice and creativity still belong to the writer.
Across three generations in our family, we are all learning in different ways. Perhaps this is the real value of AI—it brings us closer together through learning, sharing, and growing side by side.
跨越三代的 AI：一位爺爺對寫作與學習的思考
昨天，我的女兒來探望我們。在聊天中，她提到一件讓我特別留意的事情。她跟 Julie 說，她開始使用 ChatGPT 來幫助我們的孫女 Haily 改善寫作能力。
Haily 很喜歡寫作。她有很多想法，也樂於表達自己。不過，像很多孩子一樣，她在拼寫方面有一些困難。與其一遍又一遍用傳統方式糾正，女兒決定嘗試一個新的方法——借助 AI 來幫忙。
聽到這裡，我不禁停下來思考。在我們這個家庭裡，三代人正在以不同的方式使用 AI。
這也讓我想起年輕時學到的一件事：寫作最重要的是開始動筆。先寫下來。在過程中，難免會遇到文法、拼寫和技巧上的問題，但透過不斷練習，文字自然會慢慢找到自己的方向。持續寫作，才是進步的關鍵。
在今天，有了 AI 的幫助，人們可以更容易獲得靈感、指導和寫作技巧。寫作不再是一個孤單的過程。無論是寫電郵、作文，還是日常記錄，都有工具可以協助我們更好地表達。
對像 Haily 這樣的年輕學習者來說，AI 可以溫和地糾正拼寫並提供改進建議；而對我來說，它幫助我整理思路，讓表達更清晰。在這種情況下，AI 不僅是一個工具，更像是一位學習的夥伴。
我會鼓勵 Alison 和 Haily 多嘗試不同的 AI 工具，而不只是 ChatGPT。例如 Gemini、DeepSeek 等，都可以提供不同的觀點和建議。透過多方面的嘗試，她們可以拓寬視野，累積更多使用 AI 進行寫作的經驗。
當然，最重要的並不是依賴太多工具，而是學會如何清晰、自信地表達自己的想法。AI 可以在過程中提供幫助，但真正的聲音與創意，始終來自寫作者本身。
在我們的家庭中，三代人正以不同的方式學習與成長。也許，這正是 AI 最有價值的地方——它讓我們在學習中彼此連結，一起分享，一起進步。
