Rebirth: I Want to Surf

“Can you use smart speakers to shop?”

"Xiaoxi, buy me a pair of pants... This thing is very strange. I don't rule out that some people like it, but it is definitely not popular, so we might as well not want it.

What’s more, we have so many e-commerce channels and such a large market share that we don’t need a speaker to add bonus. "

Yao Yuan stood in front and said a few words briefly: "First of all, if the content is good, most users will end up listening to songs and radio stations. Don't waste our massive resources.

You can do news, weather, alarm clocks, notes, stocks, encyclopedias, jokes, recipes, translations, etc., but don’t treat them as the main functions.

Second, chat.

This sense of experience must be grasped well. Even if Xiaoxi doesn't understand, he can't remain silent and not respond. If the experience is too bad, he will at least reply with "I don't quite understand what you mean", or use joking words to fool him.

Users know that it is mentally retarded, not intelligent, but there is a difference between being mentally retarded and retarded. We must at least be likable.

Third, smart home control.

This must be done well, as this is a key step in our smart ecosystem, but don’t be anxious, you can update and upgrade iteratively.

Generally speaking, our first generation of Xiaoxi is to enrich the content, with chat and home content second, and don’t worry about anything else. Everyone is terrible. "

"..."

After saying this, everyone complained: "This makes me have no expectations for AI at all!"

"It's shattered! It's shattered!"

"AI is such a high-end word, but it becomes low when it comes out of your mouth!"

"What else? Do you think it's a science fiction movie?"

Yao Yuan rolled his eyes at them and told Bai Yongxiang: "Xiaoxi on the mobile phone is the opposite of the speaker. Don't pay attention to the content but pay attention to the operation. Check the weather, check the date, set the alarm clock, shut down, restart, navigation, phone calls, etc. Pay attention to these.

By the way, I heard that you also designed an image for Xiaoxi? "

"Oh yes!"

Bai Yongxiang retrieved the picture and displayed a two-dimensional image of a beautiful girl with dark blue hair on the big screen, wearing a silver metal suit.

"..."

Yao Yuan frowned and looked at it for a long time, then said: "Let MiHoYo do it, they are good at this."

According to the current progress, Xiaoxi speakers will definitely be shipped early next year. Bai Yongxiang wants to hold a public beta event for thousands of people at the end of the year. He will first send out 1,000 speakers so that everyone can test them together, and it can also spread the popularity.

Yao Yuan agreed, and his thoughts had already drifted to the live broadcast room. During the live broadcast in Weinan, he put the speaker aside and chatted from time to time.

After watching the speakers, Bai Yongxiang took everyone for a brief walk around and looked at other research.

Everyone here, including Mall, Yuetuan, 360, and Didi, has a demand for artificial intelligence, and the demand is even huge.

For example, AI customer service, navigation, recommendations, express delivery vehicles, food delivery robots, smart retail, logistics and warehousing, smart security systems, AI face-changing, etc.

Except for technical experts like Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun, others may not know exactly what they want, but under the leadership of Yao Yuan, they have already entered the game and have a general understanding.

…

In 2015, OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company, was founded in the United States by a group of technology leaders, including Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, and Musk.

In 2018, OpenAI released the GPT-1 model. Until 2022, ChatGPT was released and quickly became the top model on the global Internet.

This is a kind of generative AI that can communicate with people in all kinds of strange ways, far better than the previous mentally retarded robots.

But it’s too expensive.

It is said, it is said that each GPT training costs 5 million US dollars. The initial investment of OPEN AI company has reached 800 million US dollars, and subsequent financing has reached 10.3 billion US dollars.

What’s funny is that Wang Huiwen, the co-founder of Meituan, once made a high-profile announcement: He planned to spend 50 million US dollars to create a Chinese version of ChatGPT.

Then got sprayed.

Later major manufacturers have launched their own products, Baidu - Wen Xinyiyan, Alibaba - Tongyi Qianwen, Tencent - Hunyuan Assistant, NetEase - Yuyan, 360 - 360 Intelligent Brain, Huawei - Pangu , Jingdong - Yanxi.

Yao Yuan has never seen ChatGPT, but he has seen Wen Xinyiyan’s fish-flavored shredded pork... I heard that it was later improved, and it was no longer a fish covered with shredded meat, just like Cthulhu.

Later, the state took the lead.

A national artificial intelligence standardization overall group has been established. Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Baidu, Huawei, Alibaba, etc. are all in it. It can be regarded as a national team.

The construction of large models is inseparable from core elements such as comprehensive computing resources, algorithm talents, and data accumulation.

These are too far away, 99 doesn’t even understand the creek now.

Everyone visited a circle of laboratories and got a preliminary understanding of the current level of AI research in the country. The takeaway is that smart speakers and mobile phones with smart assistants will definitely be launched next year.

Yinyin took Bai Yongxiang and talked a few words in private, hoping to create something exciting, such as the AI ​​Stefanie Sun.

…………

night.

After dinner, a group of people went back to their homes.

Yao Yuan came back with a semi-finished speaker, and the couple had a great time playing with it.

"Xiaoxi, search for Yao Yuan!"

"Okay, Yao Yuan, male, born in 1980... Nicknamed Commander Yao, he is handsome and is an extremely successful Internet entrepreneur!"

There was a strong element of flattery in the words, which was probably deliberately entered by the developers.

"Xiaoxi, search for Zhang Yin!"

"..."

"Search Zhang Yin!"

"..."

Yinyin was waiting expectantly, but there was no response, and she said angrily: "What the hell, why is there no entry for me?"

You have never been a world elder sister in your life!

Yao Yuan murmured in his heart, but said: "Maybe there are too many people with the same name, or the information is incomplete."

"Then why are you there?"

"It would be strange if you don't have me. Our identities are different."

"whispering sound!"

Yinyin hugged Yao Xiaobao and coaxed her to talk about the creek. Xiaobao couldn't pronounce it clearly, and the system recorded very little children's language material. After calling her for a long time, there was no response.

"Forget it, I give up, it's retarded! Will anyone really buy this thing?"

Yinyin is suspicious.

"Of course there is, the songs in it are worth a lot of money."

Yao Yuan paused and said: "Actually, human psychology is like this. When it is artificially retarded, we are very happy. When it really becomes AI, we feel terrible."

"You are a standard hypocrite! I don't find it scary. I look forward to technological progress."

Yinyin tinkered with Yao Xiaobao and said: "Even if there is an AI rebellion, it will only happen tens of hundreds of years later. Humanity may be extinct by then. All I want now is to make life more convenient."

"You have a good attitude!"

Yao Yuan shrugged, but it was a pity that he couldn't see it for a short time. He came from later generations, and he really felt that human technology was locked by sophons, as if it had stagnated.

What about AR, VR, and the Metaverse? They are so loud, but in the end the stock price must be real.

(besides……)
