　　In recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence has introduced Al generators to draft essays and articles. While some people believe this is a valuable tool that can help writers save time and enhance their creativity, others argue that relying on Al undermines the development of writing skills and critical thinking. Do you think Al generators should be restricted? Please explain your reasoning.

　　Claire

　　I think Al generators should be restricted, mainly due to the high risk of plagiarism. Since Al doesn't always cite its sources, writers could unintentionally use ideas from others without proper attribution. For example, relying too much on Al could result in students facing academic penalties if their work is flagged for unoriginal content.

　　Andrew

　　I believe Al generators should continue to be used because they help writers focus on polishing their work rather than getting stuck on initial drafts. From my experience, Al can highlight mistakes or improve structure. It allows me to spend more time refining their ideas, ultimately producing higher-quality essays.

　　范文正文

　　I share Andrew's view that AI generators should not be restricted on the grounds that they can serve as tools for inspiration【同位语从句】. To elaborate, no matter how knowledgeable and experienced someone is, he or she still has blind spots. Advanced artificial intelligence, which pools information by aggregating data from various sources【定语从句作插入语】, helps writers explore new perspectives and overcome blocks. Take high school students preparing TOEFL writing tasks as an example. While some writing topics that relate to everyday experiences are familiar to most students【让步状语从句】, others - like business development or political science - can be quite challenging to understand. This makes generating ideas for a well-structured essay even more difficult. With the assistance of ChatGPT, students not only gain valuable insights into the subject matter but also learn how to structure their essays effectively by providing compelling arguments and specific examples【not only...but also并列句】. Without this AI support, most students would struggle to foster a deep understanding of complex topics and to express their ideas clearly in the absence of teachers.

　　本题是2024年10月16日托福学术讨论真题。题目结合现今社会流行话题“人工智能”。教授问学生对于AI写作，是否需要限制?学生Claire提出限制的必要性，因为学生滥用AI会非常容易导致学术舞弊。Andrew认为使用AI写作还是能带来很多积极影响，比如帮学生润色改错。对大多数考生来说，这个话题相对离学习和生活较近，比较容易想到写作思路。比如之前真考的同学就结合自己的亲身经历想到AI可以帮助他想到之前想不到的思路和点子。

　　这篇作文采取了“观点+论点+解释+举例”的写作思路，选择支持Andrew的观点“不限制AI generator”，因为AI给人们提供新思路，启发人们，毕竟不管是多有经验多有知识储备的人，总有自己的知识盲区。作者举了备考托福写作的学生的例子，提到学生虽然熟悉托福关于教育和生活方面的话题，但是一旦碰到政府，工作等离生活较远的题材的时候，他们就很容易没有新的想法，导致写作进行不下去。这个时候求助于ChatGPT，它不仅能提出新的角度，还能给出具体的理由和细节例子，更好地帮助学生形成文章切入点和框架。

　　学习这篇作文可以帮助考生们积累与科技AI和教育类有关的写作素材，比如有AI的特点，学生的瓶颈，AI怎么帮助学生等。
