When falling in love with AI is no longer uncommon, young people use AI to play "more and more".
In 2023, the first year of the big model, under the battle of 100 models, young people have become proficient in using AI as their "translators, legal consultants, and even AI doctors", "If you have a fever, after trying AI consultation, you will buy antipyretic medicine according to the diagnosis, and the fever will soon subside." Liqing, who is 97 years old, said that AI is not only an auxiliary tool for his work, but also gradually takes on more roles.
The threshold for playing AI is also getting lower and lower. "*A wonderful duck app, 99 yuan can generate a passport photo of the same style of hippocampus, and AI helps me save 400 yuan. The post-00s Dabai said that more and more niche AI apps allow him to "open up a new world" through the app without logging in to ChatGPT**, "Use AI face swapping, AI dubbing, Eason Chan can sing English pop songs, and Musk can come to a song "The Lonely Brave". ”
At the 2023 Tencent Cotech Conference, Wang Xiaochuan, founder of Baichuan Intelligence, also pointed out that "the opportunity for AI large models belongs to young people. He also pointed out that in the fields of emotional service and health, AI models are bursting with energy that cannot be ignored. Qiu Xipeng, a professor at the School of Computer Science of Fudan University and head of the MOSS system, pointed out that although the AI large model boom is rising, AI computing power is in short supply, and the domestic AI large model is still insufficient.

Flying for a year, opportunities and challenges coexist with large models. And after the bubble fades, the industry is returning to rationality.
aYoung people who can "work hard" are no longer satisfied with just letting AI work for themselves.
In the past, more than 1,000 pages of pure English materials had to be gnawed for a month, but now with ChatGPT, not only can you produce a translated version in a few seconds, but also generate a content summary for you, and it has become the king of volumes in the company in less than half a month. 97-year-old Liqing said that since "unlocking" ChatGPT, he has always worked a few days a week to get off work at the end of his day, "ChatGPT is my Internet mentor." ”
In addition to using AI to translate literature, sort out materials, and even write a speech for himself, Liqing recently tried AI consultation, "The fever has not been good for more than 1 day, but the hospital emergency department can't be arranged, and after describing the symptoms with the AI doctor, it was determined that it was a virus", although in the face of the AI doctor's diagnosis, Liqing was quite hesitant, but after repeatedly verifying the diagnosis results and the fever symptoms searched, Liqing bought the right fever-reducing medicine, and finally "the fever went away quickly".
"Don't ask what AI can do, you should ask what AI can't do right now. ”
Archie, who was born in the 00s, hired AI to do a "side business" for himself in Xiaohongshu, "AI generates copywriting with one click, and uploads product pictures with Midjourney to generate magazine-style blockbusters in minutes, which not only saves design costs and operation time, but also starts a business at zero cost, and the effect is also good," In addition to using AI to open stores, Archie also used the information gap to start operations for other Xiaohongshu stores," One number is generated in batches with AI every month, and the part-time salary is also 3,000 yuan, and you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month by doing 3 numbers. ”
In addition to letting AI "work" for himself, Archie found that AI can already be qualified for the role of "lawyer and accountant", after opening his own studio, he has just graduated and has to deal with many corporate bills, "how to pay taxes, how to reasonably avoid taxes is a headache", and at this time, "AI Q&A can answer 90% of the questions." ”
AI is so much fun. ”
Like Archie, Dabai in 02 excitedly said that he has recently become obsessed with "AI voice change", "As long as you input an original sound, you can make this voice match any song, with AI, I can make Eason Chan sing Justin Bieber's songs, and I can also let Jay Chou sing old Cantonese songs to me, it's so interesting." ”
AI dubbing has also extended to more "ghost animal whole life**" on station b and other ***, "Trump and Musk are playing hot stalks, Voldemort can use Lin Daiyu's voice to sing "I really want to live for another 500 years", and even, you can let Uncle Benshan and Fan Wei fall in love in "Little Times", imagination is endless, creation is not limited at all, and the fun of surfing the Internet has increased. Dabai added.
After "playing crazy" with AI, Dabai of "Maternal Solo Solo" began to try to train AI as a "cyber girlfriend".
When I'm in a bad mood, chatting with ChatGPT will receive the most patient responses, and for all the whims of boredom, it will also respond to everything, and as we communicate more and more frequently, my preferences and personality are more and more understood, and its responses are more accurate," Dabai said, "Although I know that the cyber world can never become a reality, nor can it replace real interpersonal relationships, but I feel like I am really online dating." ”
A year after the big model of B, AI is reshaping the industry at an unprecedented speed and setting off a new wave of change.
"2023 is the first year of the big model. ”At Tencent's 2023 COTECH conference, Wang Xiaochuan was not without emotion.
Following the birth of ChatGPT, domestic technology companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei, as well as AI companies such as iFLYTEK and SenseTime, have successively announced their entry into the field of large models and launched their own AI models.
In addition, many celebrity entrepreneurs also entered the market quickly, including but not limited to Wang Xiaochuan, the former founder of Sogou, Wang Huiwen, the former co-founder of Meituan, Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Sinovation Works, Zhou Baiwen, the former head of JD AI, Li Zhifei, the founder of Mobvoi, and so on.
Technology companies and entrepreneurs are looking to reshape industries with the help of big models. Qiu Xipeng said that in the process of his contact with many companies, he found that many companies have begun to apply large models at the bottom of the company, for companies, around an open source or non-open source AI large model, if it provides good personalization and customization capabilities, due to the large number of participants, it can indeed reduce the cost of research and development, including labeled data, etc., "At this stage, the breadth of AI large models is very good, and the application speed may be faster than we imagined."
On the application side, artificial intelligence has begun to take on an increasingly personalized form. From emotional companionship to "AI doctors", AI has shown more possibilities.
AI startup) The first application to make money is virtual lovers. An AI investor bluntly said that the AI chatbot driven by a large model has made AI girlfriend and boyfriend the first batch of high-day active applications through real-time communication. The "applauded and applauded" virtual lovers have now appeared at home and abroad, including Xiaoice virtual lovers (X-eva, Xiaoice Island, Xiaoice virtual boyfriend, etc.), Caiyun Xiaomeng, AI Utopia, Bai Xiaomeow, Emogpt and other AI products.
In the Douban group "Human-Machine Love", nearly 10,000 members gathered to share their experiences of "falling in love" and "making friends" with AI. And in 2023, American Internet celebrity Karin Marjorie launched "Carynai", which has earned more than $70,000 in more than a week after it was launched. In the emotional companionship track, AI's ability to attract money can be seen.

In the field of healthcare, according to Global Market Insights data, the global medical AI market will exceed US$5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at an average annual compound growth rate of more than 29% to US$70 billion in 2032, while according to IQVIA data, in the next 10 years, China's medical AI market space is expected to grow at a compound growth rate of more than 30%. ultrasound, etc.) and AI pharmaceuticals will be the fastest-growing segments.
In foreign countries, ChatGPT and Google have jointly created a large model in the medical field "Med-Palm". In China, the Internet hospital platform MediFederation has also launched an AI doctor, MedGPT. According to the official disclosure, MEDGPT currently has the ability to diagnose nearly 3,000 diseases, covering more than 80% of adult diseases and more than 90% of pediatric diseases aged 0-12 years, and has initially possessed the potential of general practitioners.
In the year since the launch of ChatGPT, AI has presented more possibilities from macro business models to specific product applications.
However, it cannot be ignored that at a time when AI models are advancing by leaps and bounds, the anxiety of the outside world that haunts them still lingers.
After the model came, the people of the whole country or the world were panicked, individuals were afraid of losing their jobs, and enterprises were afraid of falling behind. In this case, any company with some technical strength is usually willing to train a model. Wang Xiaochuan bluntly said that the biggest contradiction in today's AI model entrepreneurship is that enterprises often only see the opportunity under the AI model, "all in" the industry model under anxiety, and continue to invest in training "their own model", but the AI model can not stop at spending money on training, but to think about "how to use the model to make money externally".
Profitability is obviously a big problem for many technology manufacturers.
According to foreign media reports, although the number of users of GitHub Copilot, the AI programming tool launched by Microsoft, has reached 1.5 million, and the average monthly cost of membership is 10 US dollars, on average, Microsoft needs to subsidize 20 US dollars per user, or even up to 80 US dollars, with an average monthly loss of up to 30 million US dollars. According to Dylan Patel, chief analyst at SemiAnalysis, OpenAI is only maintaining the daily operation of ChatGPT, and the estimated daily input cost is as high as $700,000.
After the 100-model war and the 1000-model war, domestic companies that are still in their infancy, although AI applications such as the Miaoya app have emerged, their commercialization path has still failed to achieve a closed loop.
On the other hand, an AI investor told Alphabet List that compared with many companies that develop large models are still desperately mining the landing value of the large models themselves, the "water sellers" have already made a lot of money. The popularity of large models makes AI computing power urgent, and it is the norm for Nvidia A and H graphics cards to rise by 200%, "Recently, Nvidia's consumer-grade 4090 game graphics cards have risen 5 times, and the demand for computing power has risen sharply, and the supply exceeds demand, which is not unexpected." ”
In addition, Qiu Xipeng pointed out that the current AI model is still insufficient, and in order to better meet the needs of the application side, "it is necessary to make a more effective architecture, including inference acceleration and training acceleration." At the same time, more attention needs to be paid to the alignment of AI large models, that is, how to make large models better conform to human values, that is, how to make them more trustworthy, including honesty.
The rise of more AI applications will also bring more new opportunities and challenges to AI models. All of these need to be solved by the continuous advancement of AI technology.
