熱門時事分享：AI 在改變我們的個性嗎？如何影響思考與人際互動｜20251125

歡迎收聽《HOT 用英文聊時事》。隨著科技進步，AI 已經無所不在，從手機助手到內容推薦，從聊天機器人到自動化工作，它改變了我們的生活習慣。而這些變化，也正在悄悄影響我們的思考、行為，甚至個性。今天，我們就來聊聊 AI 如何改變我們的日常與人格特質。(Forbes)(Fielding University)

Welcome to Hot English Topics. With advances in technology, AI is everywhere—from phone assistants to content recommendations, from chatbots to automated workflows. It is changing our daily habits, and these changes are quietly influencing the way we think, behave, and even our personality. Today, let’s explore how AI is shaping our everyday life and personal traits.

生活中，我們接觸 AI 的方式比你想像的還要多。有許多隱藏在日常中的 AI，悄悄影響我們的決策與行為。例如，AI 推薦系統會分析我們的偏好，提供個性化內容或商品，潛移默化地塑造興趣與行為模式。此外，AI 也能提供情緒支持與陪伴，特別是語音型聊天機器人，影響我們的社交行為與情感依賴。(MIT Media Lab) 雖然方便，我們仍需保持自我覺察，避免完全依賴 AI。

In daily life, we encounter AI in more ways than we might imagine. Many AI applications are hidden in our routines, quietly influencing our decisions and behaviors. For example, recommendation systems analyze our preferences to provide personalized content or products, subtly shaping our interests and habits. Additionally, AI can offer emotional support and companionship, especially through voice-enabled chatbots, affecting our social behavior and emotional dependence. (MIT Media Lab) While convenient, we still need to maintain self-awareness and avoid complete reliance on AI.

當你在網路購物或觀看社群平台時，AI 都在為你篩選資訊。AI 推薦系統會分析用戶的歷史行為，以提供個性化商品和內容。這種推薦方式能提高點擊率和銷售量，但也可能導致用戶的選擇變得單一，缺乏多樣性，(來源)導致用戶僅接觸到與自身觀點相符的資訊，形成「資訊泡泡」或「回音室效應」，限制了多元觀點的接觸。(來源)也就是說，越來越多的內容，其實是 AI 在決定你看到什麼，而不是完全由你自己選擇。

When you shop online or browse social media, AI is filtering information for you. Recommendation systems analyze users’ past behavior to provide personalized products and content. This approach can increase clicks and sales, but it may also narrow users’ choices and reduce diversity (來源). It can result in people only seeing information that aligns with their existing views, creating “filter bubble” or “echo chamber,” which limit exposure to diverse perspectives (來源). In other words, more and more of the content you see is determined by AI, rather than being entirely your own choice.

隨著 AI 技術的普及，我們的學習與思考方式正悄然改變。根據牛津大學出版社的研究，超過 80%的青少年在學習中使用 AI 工具，雖然提高了學習速度，但也可能導致思考缺乏深度，失去提出問題和獨立思考的機會。此外，麻省理工媒體實驗室的研究指出，使用 ChatGPT 等 AI 工具的學生，在寫作過程中表現出較低的腦部活躍度，且在神經層面、語言層面和行為層面上持續表現不佳。這些研究揭示了「認知卸載」的現象，即我們將思考任務交給 AI，從而減少了自主思考的機會。(MDPI)

然而，AI 也有其正面影響。例如，AI 可以提供即時反饋，幫助學生識別學習中的盲點，並提供個性化的學習建議 。(College of Education) 但關鍵在於如何平衡使用，避免過度依賴。因此，我們應該學會保持批判性思維，確保 AI 成為我們學習的輔助工具，而非取代了我們的思考能力。

As AI technology becomes more widespread, our ways of learning and thinking are quietly changing. According to research from Oxford University Press, over 80% of teenagers use AI tools in their studies. While this increases learning speed, it may also lead to shallower thinking, reducing opportunities for questioning and independent thought. In addition, research from MIT Media Lab shows that students using AI tools like ChatGPT exhibit lower brain activity during the writing process and consistently underperform at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These studies reveal a phenomenon called “cognitive offloading,” where we delegate thinking tasks to AI, thereby decreasing opportunities for independent thinking. 

However, AI also has positive effects. For example, it can provide immediate feedback, help students identify learning blind spots, and offer personalized study recommendations (College of Education). The key is to balance its use and avoid over-reliance. Therefore, we should learn to enjoy the conveniences AI brings while maintaining critical thinking, ensuring that AI serves as a supportive tool in our learning rather than replacing our cognitive abilities.

此外，越來越多人開始將 AI 視為朋友、心靈導師，甚至是情感伴侶，這種現象在青少年族群中特別明顯。根據美國心理學會的報導，許多青少年轉向 AI 聊天機器人尋求情感支持。然而，長期與 AI 互動可能導致情感依賴，進而影響現實生活中的人際關係。(ie edu)

與AI互動並非全然負面。若善加運用，它也能成為輔助工具，幫助特定族群改善社交能力。例如，AI 社交教練能協助自閉症患者練習人際互動，提升情感理解與表達。(frontiers)

In addition, more and more people are beginning to see AI as a friend, a life coach, or even an emotional partner — a trend that is especially noticeable among teenagers. According to the American Psychological Association, many young people are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support. However, prolonged interaction with AI may lead to emotional dependence and negatively affect real-life relationships. (ie edu)

Interacting with AI is not entirely negative. When used properly, it can serve as a helpful tool to improve social skills for certain groups. For example, AI social coaches can assist people with autism in practicing interpersonal communication and enhancing their emotional understanding and expression. (frontiers)

總結以上，你會開始意識到，AI 潛移默化地影響著我們的個性。過度依靠演算法推薦內容，可能讓我們的興趣範圍逐漸狹窄，減少主動探索的動力（Zhang, 2024, Educational Technology Journal））。長期依靠AI 進行決策，也可能變得更加依賴、衝動，甚至產生焦慮與封閉的傾向。

不過，AI時代為我們帶來的正面影響也值得嘉許。它能啟發創意、提供新觀點，並幫助我們更了解自己，甚至促進更高效率的學習與工作習慣（Song, 2025, BMC Psychology）。

In summary, you might start to realize that AI is subtly shaping our personalities. Over reliance on algorithmic content recommendations can gradually narrow our range of interests and reduce the motivation to explore proactively （Zhang, 2024, Educational Technology Journal）. Long-term dependence on AI for decision-making may also make us more reliant, impulsive, and even prone to anxiety and withdrawal. 

At the same time, the AI era brings positive benefits worth acknowledging. AI can inspire creativity, offer new perspectives, help us better understand ourselves, and even promote more efficient learning and work habits（Song, 2025, BMC Psychology）. 

總而言之，AI 已經深入我們的生活，影響著思考、決策、學習、社交，甚至個性。與其抗拒，不如學會與 AI 共處。關鍵在於掌握平衡：合理利用 AI 的便利，提升效率與創意，同時保留批判性思維、主動探索的能力，以及真實的人際連結。唯有如此，我們才能在科技時代保持自主，成為自己生活的主導者。(Forbes) (Fielding University)

In short, AI has become deeply integrated into our lives, shaping our thinking, decision-making, learning, social interactions, and even our personality. Rather than resisting it, we should learn to coexist with AI. The key is balance: leveraging AI’s conveniences to boost efficiency and creativity while maintaining critical thinking, independent exploration, and genuine human connections. Only then can we remain autonomous and in control of our lives in the age of technology (Forbes) (Fielding University).
