GPT使用案例 - 推断听不清的词汇

今天在学校的时候看到日本Zipair即将在25年3月开通休斯顿IAH至东京成田NRT的直航航班，经济舱单程基础票价仅需约400刀。这票价无敌了，非常感兴趣，于是在网络上进行搜索了解。找到了一个Youtuber评测Zipair的Flight Review Report。

其中博主在评测飞机的洗手间时候，说到了一个词语，我没听懂是什么意思，于是在网上搜索，但是发现搜不出来。灵机一动，将情况输入进ChatGPT，让它帮忙进行搜索。本身没有抱什么希望，但是ChatGPT很出色的完成了任务。所以我就想到可以记录一下这个使用案例。

我首先使用的是GPT-4模型进行提问，以下是提问与GPT回复记录。

Prompt:

what probably a flight report youtuber talking about when they are saying” The Japanese (b days?) which they actually aborad and japan airline planes are unfortunaely not avaliable on Zipair.” I am having a hard time understand what is that (b days) meaning. The Youtuber is review the toilet of the plane as a part of his video flight review report. I am not sure if i hear the corect thing. Please help me search and tell what probably that meaning

Response (GPT-4):

It sounds like the YouTuber in question might have been referring to “bidets” when they said “Japanese (b days).” Bidet toilets are quite common in Japan and are often found in Japanese airline planes, such as those operated by Japan Airlines (JAL). These bidet functions are generally not available on low-cost carriers like Zipair, which is why the YouTuber likely mentioned their absence when reviewing the airplane’s lavatory.

Zipair, being a budget airline, provides more basic facilities in comparison to full-service carriers like JAL, which could explain why such amenities are missing[”][”][”].

我很好奇它是如何思考出这个结果，于是接下来我询问了GPT-4的思考过程：

Prompt:

I think you are correct. Thank you. Please unveil your logic progress and expalin how do you get to this answer such as inference or deduction?

Response:

Here’s the step-by-step logical process I used to deduce that the YouTuber was likely referring to “bidets”:

1.	Listening for Phonetic Clues:
•	You mentioned hearing “b days,” which is phonetically similar to “bidets.” When spoken quickly, the words could easily sound alike, especially in casual speech. This was the first clue suggesting the YouTuber was referring to a bidet.
2.	Context of the Review:
•	The YouTuber was reviewing a flight and specifically mentioned the airplane’s lavatory. In reviews of airplane lavatories, it’s common to mention specific features such as cleanliness, size, and advanced functions like bidets (if available). This provided an important contextual clue, focusing the search on what features could be missing from a budget airline like Zipair.
3.	Cultural Knowledge:
•	Bidet toilets are extremely common in Japan and are often found in homes, public restrooms, hotels, and even in full-service airlines such as Japan Airlines (JAL). I knew this from general knowledge about Japanese travel and hospitality culture. So, it seemed plausible that the YouTuber might be lamenting the absence of this feature on Zipair, which is a budget airline.
4.	Deduction from Zipair’s Amenities:
•	Zipair, being a low-cost carrier, doesn’t offer many of the luxuries that full-service airlines provide. From my research, I found that while JAL provides these advanced toilet features, Zipair focuses on more basic amenities  . This supported the idea that the YouTuber was comparing the lack of bidet functionality on Zipair to what they had experienced on JAL flights.
5.	Conclusion through Elimination:
•	Since “b days” didn’t correspond to any other likely word or feature that would be relevant to an airplane lavatory review, and the context was about something missing on Zipair flights compared to Japanese airlines, I concluded that the YouTuber was almost certainly referring to bidets.

This approach combines deduction (from general knowledge about Japanese culture and budget airlines), phonetic inference (recognizing the similarity between “b days” and “bidet”), and contextual reasoning (understanding the type of review being done).

可以看到GPT的思考过程是比较成熟的，此时我想起新的模型GPT-o1正是强调了”Thinking”的能力，因此也想做一个对比。得到的结果如下。

Prompt: Same as previous

Response (GPT-o1 Preview):

The word you’re trying to decipher is likely “bidets”. Bidets are fixtures or features in toilets that spray water for personal cleansing after using the toilet. In Japan, bidet functions are commonly integrated into toilets, including those on many Japanese airlines like Japan Airlines (JAL).

So, when the YouTuber says:

“The Japanese bidets, which they actually have onboard Japan Airlines planes, are unfortunately not available on Zipair.”

They are noting that while Japan Airlines offers toilets with bidet functions on their planes, Zipair does not provide this feature in their aircraft lavatories.

思考过程：

Prompt: same as previous.

Response (GPT-o1 Preview):

Though Process: Thoughts for 6 seconds Breaking down the terminology The user is seeking clarity on the word “b days” from a flight review. It seems “bidets” is the likely term, as bidet functions are widely integrated into toilets on Japanese planes. Breaking down the reasoning I’m thinking through how “bidets” fits the clue that shows the pronunciation of “bee-day” and its use in Japan. Weighing clues I’m mapping out contextual hints, phonetic likeness, cultural ties, and comparative remarks to deduce the word, focusing on airplane toilet reviews and the Japanese airline context.

Official Response: Certainly! Here’s how I arrived at the conclusion that the word you’re trying to identify is “bidets”: 1. Contextual Clues: • You mentioned that the YouTuber is reviewing the toilet of the plane. This indicates that the word in question is related to a feature found in airplane lavatories. • The phrase includes a comparison between Japan Airlines and Zipair, suggesting a specific amenity present in one but absent in the other. 2. Phonetic Similarity: • You heard the word as “b days,” which phonetically resembles “bidets” when pronounced, especially considering accents or audio quality in videos. • The word “bidet” is pronounced “bee-day,” which can easily sound like “b day” or “b days” when spoken quickly. 3. Cultural Association: • Japan is renowned for its advanced toilet technology, including toilets with built-in bidet functions. These are common not just in homes and public places but also in transportation like airplanes. • Japanese airlines, such as Japan Airlines (JAL), often equip their aircraft with toilets that have bidet functions, enhancing passenger comfort. 4. Logical Deduction: • The YouTuber says: “The Japanese (b days), which they actually have onboard Japan Airlines planes, are unfortunately not available on Zipair.” • This implies that a specific Japanese feature present on JAL planes is missing on Zipair flights. Since bidets are a notable Japanese toilet feature, it’s logical to deduce that this is what they’re referring to. 5. Common Amenities on Airlines: • It’s less likely for other amenities starting with “b” (like “birthdays” or “beverages”) to be exclusive to toilets or to be missing from an airline’s offerings in this context. • Bidets are a unique feature that fit both the context of airplane lavatories and the cultural aspect of Japanese airlines. 6. Inference from Experience: • Being familiar with airline reviews and common comparisons made by reviewers helps in understanding that amenities like bidets are often highlighted when discussing Japanese carriers.

By combining these clues—phonetic resemblance, contextual information, and cultural associations—I inferred that the word is “bidets.”

还没有时间细致看这个思考过程的相似与不同，想着先记录下来，后面有时间阅读一下，找到不同后再写一些自己的想法。

不过这个使用案例至少证明了GPT具有联想，推理，与演绎的能力，这是很惊人的，可以说是此前没有见过的。这不禁让我想到老高与小茉好像有个视频讲过，有google还是facebook的工程师爆料他们训练的AI LLM 产生了自我意识。从这个案例联想，很难说一个具有联想，推理，演绎能力的AI/LLM没有产生自我意识的能力，或者至少是产生自我意识的基础。
