The future is already here

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-24

Recently, the blogger "AI Maniahlum" from Sichuan released an animated short film "Journey to the West" generated by AI technology on the Internet, and its shocking visual effects made him the most beautiful star during the Chinese New Year, and the SORA concept stock also achieved a good start in 2024. Coincidentally, Zhang Gongqiao for the New Year was crowded with people one after another. Almost every tourist will have a string of sugar gourds in their hands. From time to time, I hear small talk from the vendors about which sugar gourd vendor is making a lot of gold leaf. The great progress in technology has made them rich.

The technological progress brought about by technology and innovation has allowed them to come out on top in 2024 with their own wisdom and hands, so that they can truly learn that "human labor is undifferentiated" and "surplus value is condensed by human wisdom rather than academic qualifications".

Every technological progress brings great value, it treats everyone without discrimination, and everyone is equal in front of technology. Every technology provides everyone with a new pair of glasses and magnifying glasses on an equal footing, allowing people to re-examine the world and themselves.

This forced me to reflect. Whether the emergence of science and technology will replace human beings or help human beings live a better life, a life with dignity and truly becoming a human being?

As we all know, the completion of an animation often requires the cooperation of painting, design, programming, and knowledge talents in related fields to complete. When we appreciate that domestic animated films like "Jiang Ziya" and "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" are finally truly wonderful, should we also think about whether the founders of AI madhouses can really draw at the same time? Will design? Can program? Not. According to an interview with a reporter from Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News, this blogger, Mr. Feng, has only 15 years of industry experience in art work. In the production process, AI takes care of most of the process, and even the storyboard planning is done by ChatGPT. In addition, it is understood that only a small group of "visual artists, designers and filmmakers" and specific security testers have access to SORA at the moment. Well, so, they're just going to use AI technology.

So, should we learn more and more for fear of being replaced by technology? Should children master dance, art, and programming because they are worried about the future? No, they don't need it for survival. Because the use of AI and silk candy gourd in life tells us that with the development of technology and the times, people will need fewer and fewer skills that they must learn.

Because technology and knowledge and skills are developing exponentially and emerging, they will only develop faster in the future. When it comes to deep learning and productivity, humans will increasingly become no match for robots. If you learn because you don't want to be replaced by intelligence, you will fail.

So how can we face the intelligent era that is already in the future? And how do you educate the future? Society has changed, and education will change. Lu Xiangqian, a professor at Tsinghua University: Education is still stuck in the last century, and the social economy has entered the 21st century.

If you follow the old path, you will not be able to reach a new place. We cannot use the concepts, experiences and knowledge of 20 years ago to nurture today's children to face the era 20 years from now.

The world is changing, and with the development of artificial intelligence, all simple input learning positions may gradually disappear. But only people themselves do not disappear. As human beings, human beings have their own value since they were born. There is only one ability that a child needs to build when they grow up – to be a unique person.

The reform of education will point to the rediscovery of the value of "people", which should stimulate children's unique talents and loves, and cultivate "people" who can be different from intelligent machines and can cooperate deeply with intelligent machines, rather than catching up with the trend and necessarily learning a certain major. What we need in the future must be people with independent personalities who have thoughts, questions, answers, learning, ideas, hands-on, and lifelong learning. The future must belong to the person who can understand the prompt instructions and actively cooperate with the prompt instructions.

I looked at the children's own "Joke Book" and "Animal World", and then looked at the tutorial books I gave them that they didn't like to do. I was lost in thought. The future has come, the future belongs to the child, in this era of rapid development and this great change environment, the child is closer to the future and the times than me, we do not know more about the changes in the world than the child, and the experience of the past can not guide today's life. Each generation's ideology, lifestyle, and code of conduct are shaped by the life of his particular era. The idea that "a high degree can lead a good life" is the knowledge and concept I learned in my childhood, and I have been able to live a better life than my grandparents by stepping on the east wind of the prosperity of the motherland. But on the other hand, the child's thinking mode and lifestyle itself are also deeply influenced by his time, and he has a stronger vitality, learning ability, and creativity that is more suitable for their times, that is to say, the child itself represents the form and trend of the future society. It is neither realistic nor beneficial for us to use the knowledge of 20 years ago to teach children who have completely different life experiences and experiences from us, and to form the same concepts and perceptions as us. Throughout the long history of human development, those who have become the past and are eliminated are destined to be our parents first. Thinking about it this way, maybe it's me who needs to learn and iterate.

Planning for a child's future and designing a child's life should not be done by a qualified parent. What is really good for children is to let children develop the ability to adapt to the times, and to let children become the personality and quality of continuous self-learning, self-iteration, lifelong learning, embracing change, daring to innovate, and not afraid of failure.

Thinking of this, I no longer obsessed with the children's plan to finish the next semester, but give the children's time back, give them enough time and space to explore, develop themselves, find themselves, and let them embrace change. After all, the future is here, and technology will only lower the threshold for professional skills, not improve them. And a person who is full of curiosity, dares to explore, lifelong learning, and has the courage to try will be the trendsetter of the future era and the helmsman of science and technology.
