摘要:
人脸在人类的社会生活中扮演了双重角色:一方面,人脸如同一扇门,向我们展现了他人的部分心理活动;另一方面,人脸又如一道墙,向我们遮蔽了他人另外一部分的心理活动。人类所有的社会交往活动都有赖于人脸的这种微妙平衡机制。不过,人脸的这种微妙作用,却在刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》的“思维透明人”假设中被无视。根据这种假设,任何一个三体人都能绕开“人脸”这一媒介而对他者的颅内信息进行透视。无独有偶,时下流行的网络聊天软件 ChatGPT 所依赖的超级语料训练模型也是“无脸”的,因为该模型已经隐去了对于个体知识提供者的“脸”的标注。然而,无论是刘慈欣的科幻假设还是 ChatGPT 的操作模式,都会对以科学精英的“脸面”为核心的人类传统科研模式的可持续性构成威胁,特别会对使科研创造性得以可能的底层逻辑构成戕害。

Abstract:
Human faces play dual roles in the social life: on the one hand, human faces provide accesses to other minds; on the other hand, they do block the accesses to other minds. All social activities are based on a subtle balance between the two functions of human faces. However, such balance is entirely ignored the hypothesis of transparency of human mind in Cixin Liu’s science fiction- The Three Body Problem, According to this hypothesis, any inhabitant in the three body world could see what happens in other minds without the media of faces. Coincidentally, ChatGPT is also “faceless”. Moreover, the facelessness represented both in Liu’s novel and ChatGPT could undermine scientific activities by marginalizing particular scientists’ contributions.
