使用 GPT-4 的顾问完成任务数量多 12.2%，速度快 25.1%，质量高 40%。 Consultants using GPT-4 completed 12.2% more tasks, 25.1% faster, with 40% higher quality.
AI 作为技能均衡器，低绩效者提升 43%，高于高绩效者。 AI acts as a skill leveler, boosting low performers by 43% more than top performers.
“锯齿状前沿”概念：AI 能力不均，任务在不可见边界内外。 The 'Jagged Frontier' concept: AI capability is uneven, with tasks inside/outside an invisible boundary.
两种有效的人机协作模式：半人马（明确分工）和赛博格（深度融合）。 Two effective human-AI collaboration modes: Centaur (clear task division) and Cyborg (deep integration).
AI 可能导致“方向盘上睡着”，在边界外任务上降低准确性。 AI can cause 'falling asleep at the wheel', reducing accuracy on tasks outside its frontier.
AI 输出质量更高但更同质；人机协作产生更好的多样性和正确性。 AI outputs are higher quality but more homogeneous; human-AI collaboration yields better variety and correctness.
局限 · Limitations
研究仅限于精英顾问；结果可能不适用于其他职业或情境。 Study limited to elite consultants; results may not generalize to other professions or contexts.
AI 的“锯齿状前沿”是动态且模型特定的；发现可能不适用于未来模型。 AI's 'Jagged Frontier' is dynamic and model-specific; findings may not hold for future models.
实验通过 API 使用 GPT-4；不同界面或微调可能改变结果。 Experiment used GPT-4 via API; different interfaces or fine-tuning could alter outcomes.
AI 导致的输出同质化可能减少创新和问题解决的多样性。 AI-induced homogeneity in outputs may reduce innovation and diversity in problem-solving.
研究未探讨对技能发展或组织动态的长期影响。 The study did not explore long-term effects on skill development or organizational dynamics.
