Not surprisingly, the market is generally discussing the SORA released by OpenAI in the two days after the holiday, from Internet bigwigs, to investment circles, to the majority of netizens, almost all of them are reflecting on the fact that the gap between Chinese and American artificial intelligence is getting bigger and bigger.
Not to mention the a** field, those companies that have been hyped up with the concept, in fact, whether they can get a share of the pie in this change needs to be carefully scrutinized. This is in huge contrast with the sharp drop in the stock prices of competitors after OpenAI released SORA in the United States.
From this logical point of view, whether it is a participant in the industry or an investor in the market, the domestic market is in a state of "disorder".
From ChatGPT to Sora, every shot of OpenAI shocked its domestic counterparts, followed by follow-up and throwing money, once again falling into a strange circle of imitation forever and never surpassing.
This kind of industry imitation is a bit similar to the ** speculators in the market, who are always speculating on how the main funds should operate next, rather than actively influencing the changes in the disk to dominate the future trend, and finally cannot get rid of the fate of being cut leeks.
So, the question is, since people have come out, do we follow it?
The answer is clearly yes.
It is worth reflecting on the question of why we are always passive.
One of the first issues to be solved is to break the aura of OpenAI.
Whether it is ChatGPT or SORA, there is not much creativity in nature, in the twenty or thirty years of rapid development of the Internet, language processing and image processing were originally a pain point, and even every IT practitioner has thought about it. We are accustomed to seeing many Internet bigwigs talk about various places after the success of their business, and some people have been paying attention to the ** outlet for a long time, for fear of missing any hot spot.
Precisely, no one is thinking about solving this problem logically at the bottom.
It wasn't until OpenAI succeeded in one fell swoop that the domestic bigwigs came to their senses. We can't help but ask, what did you do before?
One of the biggest drawbacks of follow-up investment is that you only know how to copy, but do not use your own mind to think, which is like a person without a soul.
OpenAI, in fact, is not terrible, the halo is suspected of being infinitely amplified. As far as ChatGPT and Sora products are concerned, they are not epoch-making products.
Behind the glamorous technology, we must ask about two core indicators: the number of global users, and user stickiness.
To put it bluntly, OpenAI is nowhere near as influential as Microsoft, and nowhere near the point where you can't work and live without it. For Chinese people, the user stickiness of OpenAI's two products is definitely not as good as WeChat and Alipay.
The frequency of use of ChatGPT, in most cases, is similar to that of a search engine; And sora for the vast majority of people, I'm afraid you don't need it at all, it's a more professional tool, unless you're a worker, writing a manuscript into a **, it's not even as fast as shooting it yourself.
At present, OpenAI's two products are not great products, but they only solve user pain points, and they are not even as advanced as "making something out of nothing" in the strict sense.
A great scientific and technological product is first empowered by "thought". This kind of thinking is a scientific foresight "out of nothing" characteristics, even if the idle finance depreciates the two products of openai to worthless, it should be pointed out that these two products are also the first to have a model in the hearts of entrepreneurs, not like domestic followers, who don't even have a model in their hearts, until they see other people's models, they don't think of copying them.
Those who copy can only learn the form, but not the God. It is ideas, not technology, that will guide the future.
From this logical point of view, it is difficult for domestic companies that are working hard in related fields to surpass OpenAI in the end, after all, the initiative is not in your hands, unless you can turn passive into active one day.
Of course, the artificial intelligence track is too broad, for example, in the field of autonomous driving, we have the opportunity to compete with the world's top masters, and the future competition pattern is completely different. Don't give up just because the wind hasn't broken out in front of you.
