Recently, a picture depicting these two "Chinese and American AI giants" has gone viral on social **, one is Ultraman, the founder of OpenAI, and the other is Li Yizhou, a self-**blogger with a doctor from Tsinghua University on Douyin and Xiaohongshu platforms.
Some netizens jokingly called him a Chinese god who can compete with Ultraman in the AI circle, but Li Yizhou himself responded humbly and will continue to work hard to improve himself. Li Yizhou's SORA-related AI training course has aroused widespread social attention and controversy in a short period of time.
It is reported that although the Wensheng ** model SORA developed by OpenAI has not yet achieved large-scale commercial use worldwide, Li Yizhou has won more than 160,000 orders for the AI courses sold by virtue of his influence in the field of knowledge payment, with sales of about 32 million yuan.
After the release of ChatGPT, Li Yizhou successfully launched a series of AI-related courses with his keen market insight and unique marketing methods, which gained great attention. After the emergence of the SORA model, he quickly followed up and attracted a large number of users who were eager to understand and master the latest AI technology through a series of attractive promotional means, such as the promotion of the theme of "The Sino-US Game Behind SORA".
However, along with the high sales comes the voice of doubt. Some buyers and industry experts believe that because the SORA model is still in its early stages and the publicly available information and technical details are limited, the training courses launched at this time may lack substantive technical content, and there is a suspicion of over-marketing and "cutting leeks". It is also reported that there is suspected turmoil within Li Yizhou's team, and the AI course group is suspected to have been disbanded by the teaching assistant, and some students have reported that the quality of the course is not satisfactory and has asked for a refund.
In response to this phenomenon, Logan, the head of developer promotion at OpenAI, has publicly clarified: We have not launched an access to SORA. Therefore, any act of cutting leeks in the name of SORA is an unfounded rumor.
In the face of surging pressure, Li Yizhou said in an interview that he felt helpless about the current controversy caused by AI training courses, and chose to avoid in-depth discussions for the time being, only revealing that "now on the cusp, it is not suitable to explain too much, and a more detailed response will be given after a while".
The closure of Weibo not only reflects the challenges faced by the education market in the popularization of emerging AI technologies, but also triggers in-depth thinking about the integrity of the knowledge payment business model and the quality control of educational content. All sectors of society are paying close attention to how Li Yizhou and his team will respond to this sudden crisis of trust in the future, and whether the relevant training content can keep up with the pace of technological development and effectively meet the market demand when the SORA model is truly applied in the future.
