■ プロンプトの工夫
いつもと同じように、英語で書いたプロンプトを試してみて少し修正を加えたり、AIそのものにプロンプトの改善を求めたりして作ったものです。決してこれが最終的に優れたものだとは考えていません。きっと他に優れたプロンプトはあるでしょうが、下の利用者のために作りました。
■ 想定する利用者
私のある授業（選択授業：アクティブリスニング）では毎日の英語学習の様子や成果などを英語で書いたポートフォリオを提出することを求めています。きちんと申告すれば作成の際にAIを使ってもよいことにしています（とにかく英語で書く習慣をつけることを優先しているわけです）。このプロンプトはその授業の受講生を想定して作りました。
Ver. 1.1（2024/04/09）
最初に提示したプロンプトは大学生にとっては少し高度な英語を生み出してしまうので、プロンプトに "at a college level" という限定を加えて、これをVer. 1.1と呼ぶことにしました。逆に、このプロンプトを学術論文作成のために使う方はこの赤字の追加部分を削除してお使いください。
■ 注意事項
200語程度の英文でしたら問題なく作動しますが、1,000語といった長い英文を入れると作動がおかしくなる場合があります。長文を改訂する場合は、英文を分割して作業してください。

Many people love music, but do not know anything about speakers. Do you know that many speakers have holes? They are usually round, but sometimes not round. They are big fluto and make big bass sound. These speakers, by the way, are called ported speakers, because holes are ports. Because of ports, these speakers make big sound although they are not really big in size. People like big bass and company sell these speaker for this reason. But some people like sealed box speakers that doesn't have holes. They know holes are bad for sound. You should know more about speaker. So I'll explain why ported speaker are bad in this essay.
結論から言いますと、学術英語的な書き換えとしては、私はClaude 3 (Opus) よりもChatGPT (GPT-4) の方が好ましいと考えました。しかし限られた例に基づく判断ですので断言できません。ただ、Claude 3 (Focus: all) が多くのサイトへのリンクを提示する機能にはいろいろな使い道があると思わされます。
ChatGPT (GPT-4)
Numerous individuals are passionate about music, yet they possess limited knowledge regarding speakers. Interestingly, many speakers are designed with holes, typically circular, though occasionally of varied shapes. These openings, often referred to as ports, significantly contribute to the production of deep, resonant bass sounds. Such speakers are identified as ported speakers due to the presence of these ports. Despite their modest dimensions, these speakers are capable of generating profound sounds, a feature that has garnered consumer preference and motivated manufacturers to market them primarily for their bass-enhancing attributes. Conversely, a segment of the audience favors sealed box speakers, which lack these ports, based on the belief that ports detrimentally impact sound quality. This essay aims to elucidate the disadvantages associated with ported speakers, providing a deeper understanding of speaker technology.
ChatGPT (GPT-3.5)
Many individuals have an appreciation for music, yet lack knowledge about speaker systems. It may come as a surprise that numerous speakers feature perforations, typically circular although occasionally in different shapes. These openings, known as ports, serve a specific function in enhancing the sound output, particularly in generating deep bass tones. Speakers equipped with such ports are commonly referred to as ported speakers. Despite their relatively compact size, they are capable of producing powerful audio due to these ported configurations. This popularity stems from the widespread appeal of rich bass tones, prompting companies to market these speakers accordingly.
However, there exists a contrasting preference among some consumers who favor sealed box speakers that lack these perforations. Their rationale lies in the belief that openings negatively impact sound quality. To delve deeper into this topic, it's essential to explore why ported speakers may not always be the optimal choice.
Claude 3 Opus (Focus: writing) through Perplexity
Many people enjoy listening to music, but they may not be familiar with the intricacies of speaker design. Have you ever noticed that some speakers have holes, typically circular in shape, although occasionally taking on other forms? These openings, known as ports, are a key feature of ported speakers, also referred to as bass reflex speakers. The primary purpose of these ports is to enhance the low-frequency response, allowing the speakers to produce deep, powerful bass sounds despite their relatively compact size. This characteristic makes ported speakers appealing to consumers who desire impactful bass performance without the need for large, bulky enclosures. However, there is an alternative speaker design known as sealed box or acoustic suspension speakers, which forgo the use of ports altogether. Proponents of sealed box speakers argue that ports can have detrimental effects on sound quality. In this essay, we will explore the reasons why ported speakers may be considered inferior to their sealed counterparts, providing insights into the complex world of speaker design and performance.
Claude 3 Opus (Focus: all) through Perplexity
Many people enjoy listening to music but lack knowledge about the speakers that reproduce the sound. Are you aware that numerous speakers feature openings or vents? These apertures are typically circular, although they may occasionally take other shapes. Their purpose is to enhance bass response, allowing the speakers to generate powerful low-frequency sounds. Speakers with these openings are referred to as ported speakers, as the vents are called ports. The presence of ports enables these speakers to produce robust audio despite their relatively compact size. Consumers are often drawn to speakers with strong bass performance, leading companies to market ported designs to cater to this preference. However, some audiophiles prefer sealed box speakers, which lack ports. These individuals recognize that ports can potentially degrade sound quality. To make an informed decision, it is important to understand the implications of speaker design. This essay will elucidate the reasons why ported speakers may be considered inferior to sealed designs.
