Li Yizhou, this guy, this time he really got his wish! However, this time he didn't rely on any short** or AI knowledge in the live broadcast industry to become popular, but a screenshot that made him go viral on the Internet.
I guess many friends have seen that picture, right? It's the screenshot of the two AI giants in China and the United States in the same frame. The one on the left is Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and the one on the right is our Li Yizhou!
This picture is really full of irony! You see, the Sam Ultraman on the left is the top boss in the AI world, representing the most cutting-edge technology and innovation forces. As for Li Yizhou on the right, although he is a doctor of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, when it comes to the technology companies he engaged in before, they all quietly disappeared in the end.
Now, Li Yizhou's most famous achievement is to sell an AI course of 199 yuan for a sky-high price of 50 million yuan! It's pretty breathtaking. Look at this comparison, on the other side of the ocean, on the other side of the ocean, the elites of Silicon Valley are spending a lot of money and fighting for innovation, wanting to open the door to a new world for mankind. And Li Yizhou, the "godfather of AI" on our side, seems to be more concerned about how to get more leek wool in this wave of AI craze.
However, what is even more ironic is that those who think this picture is ironic are actually not Li Yizhou's target customer group at all. They may have to be deliberately screened out by Li Yizhou!
No, it reminds me of a job search show "You Belong" many years ago. I remember that at that time, Li Yizhou was a little popular, he fought with the boss group in the show, and was robbed by Zhou Hongyi, Wang Xiaochuan and other bigwigs, and became the "strongest job seeker".
Later, after graduating from Tsinghua University, he founded a technology company, and the financing record stopped at Series B, and then he returned to his old job - as an Internet celebrity. However, his self-leading road was not very smooth at the beginning, positioning him as a business elite and sharing business knowledge, but the audience is too narrow and lacks commercialization means, so the number of fans has not been able to go up, and there are only about 6,000 on Douyin.
It wasn't until February 2021 that he began to change the direction of his content, which was like opening the floodgates of traffic. He began to send some chicken soup and teach people to make money, such as "how to counterattack the poor", "how to become rich for ordinary people", "how to break the information gap when starting a business at the age of 35" and so on. These ** became popular all of a sudden, allowing him to gain a large number of fans.
Li Yizhou really grasped the huge social demand of the psychological dilemma of migrant workers, and with his aura of Tsinghua doctor and excellent eloquence, he quickly accumulated fans, and began to sell classes as an entrepreneurial mentor on Douyin. His course "One Boat One Lesson" focuses on content related to the payment of teaching knowledge, and once rushed to the top of the sales list of Douyin entrepreneurship courses, and his fans have also risen to more than one million.
At this moment, Li Yizhou can be regarded as having found his wealth password, and he is not merciless when he picks up leeks!
This fate, I really like Li Yizhou, an eloquent person! In 2023, ChatGPT's artificial intelligence trend is in full swing around the world, and Li Yizhou is also quick to see this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He did not hesitate to give up the "ordinary people turn over" course with a monthly sales of millions, and turned around and launched the "artificial intelligence course that a family of three must learn" for 199 yuan.
On Douyin and Xiaohongshu, he shouted vigorously, always shouting "There are less than 10 places left, and the price will rise soon". At this moment, everyone was in a hurry, for fear of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Today, the number of his Douyin tuba fans has reached 3.31 million, and the cumulative number of fans on the whole network has exceeded 5 million. I have to say that Li Yizhou is a person who can keenly grasp the pain points of the times, and ah, he is not in love with war at all, and he immediately went to the next outlet as soon as he saw the opportunity. To some extent, he is really a representative of the success of this era!
This Li Yizhou, when it comes to AI, is really the first thing to say, which makes people stunned. As a melon eater in the technology industry for many years, I have to admit that his content system is built in a complete way, and the narration process is also very convincing, which makes people involuntarily brought into the rhythm by him.
However, after listening to this, I calmed down and pondered, and I always felt that something was wrong. The knowledge base in my brain was running wildly, telling me that there were some things that didn't seem logically tenable. However, Li Yizhou's clever tongue can always make you ignore these small logical flaws at critical moments and run all the way along his train of thought.
However, after turning it off, a more fatal question emerged: What had I been listening to? Aside from being indoctrinated with a bunch of lofty nouns and specious routines, I didn't seem to get anything substantial. It felt like being bombarded with a carefully packaged, sugar-coated cannonball, only to find out that it was hollow inside.
Having said that, this Li Yizhou's ability in popular science and ** is really unique in China's technology industry. Even those bigwigs, who are known for their eloquence and influence, have to bow down in front of him. Take Zhou Hongyi, who is known for his red-clothed cannon, for example, he hurriedly expressed his opinion on the ** account after the release of OpenAI's Wensheng Map application Sora, and the result? The traffic and influence were still thrown a few streets by Li Yizhou. This has to make people sigh, this Li Yizhou really has two brushes!
However, it's also interesting to say. I think that the bosses who sat in the audience to score Li Yizhou back then are now the leaders of Chinese's artificial intelligence industry. I don't know how they will feel when they look back on it now, and see that the job seeker who was so talkative on stage back then is now praised by fans as the "Godfather of Chinese AI". Is it a relief or a pity? Or maybe you can't laugh or cry?
This comment area is also very lively. Someone ridiculed Li Yizhou and said: "Your name as the godfather of AI is really loud!" He was quite good at responding: "I'll keep trying." The big guys who do big models and develop in China, you guys should continue to work hard to catch up with Ultraman! "Hahaha, this reply is really laughable! The implication is: Go after your Ultraman, I'm going to continue to make a lot of money! As for what kind of development can China's AI industry become? Hehe, that has nothing to do with me!
Li Yizhou is really a master of American AI innovation wool! Since OpenAI launched Sora, although there is no open beta yet, in the domestic market, courses that teach you how to use Sora have sprung up.
If you look at the names of these courses, "99 yuan to play SORA", "SORA tips you must know", and other courses are selling hot on various knowledge payment platforms. Everyone's enthusiasm is really staggering!
Truth be told, people are willing to pay for knowledge, which in itself isn't a bad thing. This shows that people still have a desire to learn, and they also want to find solutions and ways to improve themselves. It's always a lot better than those who lie flat all day and do nothing, right?
Even if you sell physical goods, you have to pay attention to quality assurance and consumer rights protection, right? Shouldn't these people who make knowledge products also take some responsibility for what they are doing? Don't just think about how to pick wool and cut leeks all day long, but also keep a basic bottom line and awe for those who are really doing things, right?
Hey, now in this world, it's really distressing to watch. I hope that these people who make knowledge products can wake up as soon as possible and stop chilling consumers.
