摘要: [目的/意义]探究大语言模型(Large Language Models,LLMs)等人工智能生成技术对用户信息检索行为产成的影响,为信息检索系统和信息资源建设建言献策。[方法/过程]以ChatGPT等LLMs的蓬勃发展为背景,结合大语言模型的技术特点与现有产品的特征,从用户信息行为的视角,通过探讨现有文献和大型语言模型,分析该技术的不断普及对信息检索系统与用户检索行为的影响。[结果/结论]LLMs用作信息检索系统具有传统产品无法比拟的优势,其对用户信息检索行为的底层逻辑、行动重点与检索期望等方面都会产成影响。然而LLMs现有可靠性、准确度等缺陷仍难以使其立刻取代传统信息检索方式。建议在信息检索系统和信息资源建设中重视该技术,探索LLMs与信息服务智能结合,以应对未来用户信息需求的变化,并进一步充分利用已有信息资源的价值。

Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] This article is aimed to explore the impact of artificial intelligence generation technologies such as large language models (LLMs) on users' information retrieval behavior and to suggest ideas for information retrieval systems and information resource construction. In this way, it provides insights into and references for the future establishment of the artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) information platform with Chinese characteristics as well as the information literacy education system. [Method/Process] In the field of library intelligence, with the wide application of AI technology in information service work, LLMs represented by ChatGPT have also become a hot topic of discussion. Taking the booming development of LLMs such as ChatGPT as background, we analyzed the impact of the increasing popularity of this technology on information retrieval systems and user retrieval behavior from the perspective of user information behavior by combining the technical features of LLMs with the characteristics of existing products. Literature survey and empirical analysis were used. [Results/Conclusions] The use of LLMs as information retrieval systems has unparalleled advantages over traditional products. These advantages include the ability to understand and process natural language queries, generate relevant and context-specific responses, and interact with users in a more human-like way. The application of LLMs in information retrieval systems has the potential to transform the way users search for information, influence the underlying logic, action priorities, and retrieval expectations of user information retrieval behavior. However, the existing shortcomings of LLMs in terms of reliability and accuracy still make it difficult for them to replace traditional information retrieval methods immediately. Language models may not always provide accurate and reliable answers, especially when dealing with complex or domain-specific queries. Additionally, LLMs may struggle to understand and process contextual information effectively, leading to limitations in their ability to extract relevant and context-aware insights. It is recommended to pay attention to this technology in the construction of information retrieval systems and information resources, and to explore the combination of LLMs and information services in order to cope with the changes in future user information needs and to further make full use of the value of existing information resources. Limited by the lack of expertise in the field of AI and the fact that LLMs are not yet widely used in practice in China, the research findings are only a reflection and exploration of the impact of LLMs on users' information behavior.

Key words: large language models (LLMs), ChatGPT, information retrieval system, information behavior, artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC)
