The new year is about to be ushered in, and the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival is highly anticipated. In addition to the performances of the party, the mascot image of the annual Spring Festival Gala has also attracted much attention. People expect to see an impressive image of a mascot. However, this year's mascot "Long Chenchen" has caused a series of questions. Some people doubt whether Long Chenchen's image was generated by artificial intelligence (AI), and the Spring Festival Gala is eager to argue, trying to prove that the mascot's image is not generated by AI. However, while the Spring Festival Gala was trying to clarify, some netizens found some flaws in the mascot "Long Chenchen".
The first is about the image. Officially, Long Chenchen's nose is inspired by dragon-shaped vessels, and the decoration on the shoulders is taken from the moire copper ban of the Henan Museum. They injected a lot of references into the design, trying to create a mascot image that meets the traditional elements and aesthetic needs. However, netizens think that Long Chenchen's image is too cute, more like a baby than a mighty and domineering dragon in the traditional sense. Of course, this is also understandable, the mascot itself will have many derivative products, such as dolls, hanging ornaments, etc., so more ** images are more suitable for marketing use. But what makes netizens feel the most strange is that Long Chenchen's shiny luster all over his body and this special painting style are reminiscent of AI-generated images. In addition, there are some problems with the number and shape of the ears and paws and fingers, which are also common features of AI-generated images. What's even more surprising is that the 2024 mascot gold card launched by China Construction Bank also has the image of Long Chenchen printed on it, and it is indicated that it is the world's first AI-designed mascot. This unexpected revelation has sparked more questions from the public.
In the face of the public's doubts about Long Chenchen's image, the Spring Festival Gala quickly made a clarification response, insisting that the image of the mascot was hand-painted by the designer. They presented manuscripts and various PSD documents from the creative process as evidence. However, such evidence has raised more questions. Anyone in the design industry knows that a complex image can have hundreds of layers, and even a single image can be very large in file size. However, the size of the clarification in the Spring Festival Gala is only 212kb, and even the high-definition picture is not so small. And when it comes to PSD files, the file size is also only 845MB, if it's really hand-drawn with one stroke, it's almost impossible to be so small. The discovery was shocking, and the clarification of the Spring Festival Gala only intensified the public's skepticism.
The self-explosion incident of the Spring Festival Gala this time is really surprising. They let the AI take over the design work directly, which is undoubtedly a clever strategy. However, the current development of AI has become so rapid that it has even replaced many human jobs, and people are beginning to worry about whether their profession will be retained in the future. From mobile phone assistants to language translation software, from ETC toll booths to automated production lines, the emergence of AI has put many jobs in danger of being replaced. Art students may have thought that art could not be replaced by machines, but now that even art creations can be generated by AI, many art graduates are facing the pressure of losing their jobs. In an era where AI is advancing at such a rapid pace, how can students keep their jobs?
In the face of the rapid development of AI, what students need to do is to work hard to improve their abilities and distinguish their abilities from AI. Although AI can perform many tasks, it is impossible for any one position to be completely replaced, and some creative and autonomous humans are still needed to lead and manage the application of AI. Therefore, students need to continuously improve their abilities in their own professional fields and become those who can provide inspiration for AI. For example, art students can focus on cultivating their own personal style and creative skills, while students from other majors can also become leaders in their own fields through continuous Xi learning and practice, providing unique thinking and insights for AI.
Students must work hard in the process of Xi, constantly improve their professional ability, and pave the way for their future. No matter how fast AI develops, human creativity and thinking ability are still irreplaceable. Only with outstanding strength can we be invincible in the torrent of this era. Therefore, I hope that students can maintain their enthusiasm for learning Xi, strive to become better human beings, and create broader possibilities for their future, while also preparing for future development.
In conclusion, in the face of the development of AI technology, students need to maintain their enthusiasm for learning Xi, improve their professional abilities, and differentiate themselves from AI to become those who can provide creative thinking and leadership skills. Only in this way can you keep your job in this era of rapid development.
