如何判断一封信是不是机器人写的
How to tell when a robot has written you a letter
导读
这篇文章讨论如何识别机器人代写的'手写信'，评论区则围绕用机器人伪造手写信进行营销是否道德展开争论。对写作者而言，它提醒我们：手写与真诚的关联一旦被滥用，信任就会随之瓦解。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
真诚是写作的核心价值：一旦读者发现'个性化'表达是批量伪造的，信任将难以挽回。
- 02
手写信之所以动人，在于其承载的真实内容与心意，而非字形本身；形式可以模仿，诚意无法伪造。
- 03
任何写作技巧若被用于欺骗读者，最终会毁掉这种技巧所依赖的情感联想。

用伪造手写信做营销是欺骗，会彻底摧毁商业信任。
如果你需要给200个销售线索寄个性化信件但没时间手写——或者像我一样字迹潦草——Maillift 会用真正的真人团队替你生成。这太糟糕了！我不介意收到打印的信，但如果发现'手写信'是伪造的，我绝不会再和这个人做生意。这意味着建立商业关系的第一步就是欺骗。这是典型的'潜水艇式软文'（见 Paul Graham 的 submarine 文章）。每次我以为能理解营销人员时，他们总能刷新下限。

If you need to send out 200 personalized letters to sales leads but haven’t got the time to handwrite them yourself — or if your handwriting is, like mine, grotesque — then Maillift will generate them for you, using teams of genuinely carbon-based people. That's horrible! I don't mind getting a printed letter but if I got a handwritten letter that I later found out was faked I would never, ever do business with that person again. Doing this means the very first step in an attempt to form a business relationship is an act of deception. This is of course a classic submarine story: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html Every time I feel like I have come to terms with marketing people as economic actors they manage to plumb some new nadir.
技术上完全可以造出无法分辨的仿手写机器人，识别并不可靠。
其实你根本识别不出来。你可以买带倾斜传感器的数位板让机器人复现同样的笔迹，再加上随机性；用弹簧控制力度也很简单。我们多年前在大学就用 ABB 机器人做过。三轴机器人不算'五位数'的价格，本质上就是台绘图仪，靠 reprap 三百多美元就能自己做出来。

Well, you can't. You can buy a wacom tablet with tilt sensors and make the robot replicate the same stroke. You could add randomness to it too. To apply different amount of force with the robot you use a spring and you control the force with the distance to the paper, it is very simple to do. We did exactly that with ABB robots in the University a long time ago. We used wacom drivers for linux and the wacoms were over 200 dollars or so. A robot that uses only 3 axis is not "five figures", it is basically a plotter and thanks to reprap you could make your own for over 300 dollars. Those are probably the ones used by this people, but you can use a robot with more degree axis and you won't be able to differentiate it.
识别机器手写的线索是重复字形，但作者更质疑这项发明的价值。
从文章里的机器人信件看，最容易识别的方法是同一个词完全一样：图中每个'the'、甚至'this'里的'th'都一模一样。机器人似乎只用一个很小的字符库。某种随机化算法——改变每个字母的大小、粗细、倾斜或抖动——至少能让它看起来更随机、更难识别。话虽如此，做这类发明的人真该好好想想自己在干什么，这项发明对人类进步有何贡献。

Judging from the Robot letter in the article, the easiest way to spot a robot-penned letter would be that specific words are all the same. Look at the word 'the' in the picture, or even the 'th' in 'this'. They're all identical. The robot seems to be working from just a small pool of characters. Some sort of randomisation algorithm would work well here, varying the size, weight and slant or jitter of each letter would at least make it appear more random, and harder to spot. Having said that, if you are someone who works on this sort of invention, please take a long, hard look at what you're doing with your life and consider just how this invention is contributing to the advancement of mankind.
滥用信件营销会毁掉人们对信件本身的美好联想。
这太没意义了。人们对信件有积极联想，是因为随信而来的内容。如果营销人员开始滥用信件，他们只会毁掉这种联想。

This is so pointless. People have positive associations with handwritten letters because of the content that goes with it. If marketeers start using handwritten letters they will just ruin that association.
