is about to usher in the new year, and various matters related to the Spring Festival Gala have also been put on the agenda, and the image of the mascot every year makes everyone look forward to it very much. However, as soon as this year's mascot "Long Chenchen" was unveiled, it immediately raised doubts, with some suspecting that it was generated by artificial intelligence. As an important image representative of the Spring Festival Gala, the design of the mascot is naturally carefully planned, but netizens have found some flaws.
Mascots are usually designed according to the aesthetic needs of the year and traditional Chinese elements, so the design team must be the best in China and able to handle such an important task. However, this year's "Long Chenchen" image is indeed far from the traditional domineering dragon. The official explanation is that Long Chenchen's nose is inspired by a dragon-shaped device, and the decoration on the shoulder is the moire copper ban in the Henan Museum. Although in terms of details, the designer put in a lot of effort after consulting a lot of information, netizens felt that Long Chenchen was too cute and far from the image of a traditional dragon. However, this is also understandable, in addition to the use of mascots in the Spring Festival Gala, dolls, hanging decorations and other peripheral products will also be launched, so it is more suitable for the market. But what is strange is that the strange luster and painting style that shines all over Long Chenchen's body are easily reminiscent of being synthesized by artificial intelligence. In addition, there are problems with the number and shape of ears and paws and fingers, which are consistent with the characteristics of AI-generated images.
The incident has also raised concerns about the 2024 mascot gold card launched by China Construction Bank. The card is printed with the image of Long Chenchen and marked as "the world's first AI-designed mascot". This propaganda made the Spring Festival Gala fall into an embarrassment and was forced to clarify. They quickly came out to clarify and show the manuscript and PSD files from the creative process. However, unexpectedly, these evidences were found by netizens to be flawed.
The Spring Festival Gala responded: "The design teacher drew it with one stroke. And the manuscript and PSD file were presented. However, does such evidence hold water?Netizens didn't wait for a detailed investigation to find out something was wrong. Anyone who knows the design knows that a ** can have hundreds of layers, and even a simple ** file can be very large. However, the size of the clarification issued by the Spring Festival Gala is only 212kb, and even the high-definition picture is not so small. Whereas, when viewing the psd file, the size of the file is only 845MB, if it is really drawn in one stroke, is almost impossible.
This has led to reflections on the impact of AI development on human work. Nowadays, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has robbed many opportunities for manual labor. Nowadays, even artistic creations can be generated by artificial intelligence, leaving many people in related professions facing the dilemma of losing their jobs.
When artificial intelligence first emerged, people were happy with the convenience it brings, and smart home appliances and mobile phone assistants greatly facilitated their lives. However, as artificial intelligence is getting better and faster, people are beginning to feel a sense of crisis. The advent of mobile translation software has made students who learn small languages lose the market;ETC replaced the toll booth staff. And when art students once felt that art could not be replaced by machines, artificial intelligence began to be able to generate all kinds of desired pictures, and even many people's jobs have been banned by artificial intelligence, and some art students faced a large number of layoffs after graduation because of the emergence of artificial intelligence.
So, how exactly should students keep their jobs from being replaced by artificial intelligence?The answer is to improve your absolute strength. In fact, it is impossible for any position to be completely replaced, and there is always a need for some autonomous humans to lead artificial intelligence. Students should strive to become better people and constantly improve themselves professionally. For example, art students should develop their own personal abilities, while students from other majors should also become the best and become people who can provide inspiration for artificial intelligence. Only in this way will it be possible to survive in the tide of this era.
I hope that students can work harder during their studies and be fully prepared for their future.
The mascot "Long Chenchen" is suspected to have been generated by artificial intelligence, and this incident has triggered people's thinking about the development of artificial intelligence. Whether or not the mascot is actually synthesized by artificial intelligence highlights the rapid development of artificial intelligence and its impact on human work. While AI is capable of replacing some jobs, there are still many positions that require human ingenuity and creativity. Therefore, students need to improve their skills and become human resources who can work together with artificial intelligence. Only by studying hard and constantly improving one's professional ability can we remain competitive in this era of competition and challenges.
