Artificial intelligence – commonly referred to as "AI" – has been on the cusp of the storm in recent years.
In 2016, Alpha Dog was born; At present, it is a well-established fact that AI has far surpassed humans in Go.
In 2023, ChatGPT will become popular overnight, making countless text practitioners tremble.
What I didn't expect was,At the beginning of 2024, there will be another big event: the AI ** tool "SORA" is here. What the hell is Sora? Explanation in one sentence: A text-to-** model that can generate high-quality ** based on the input text.
sora generated.
It is said that now many people who do ** and edit are panicked, and they feel that their jobs are going to be smashed.
Of course, there are also people who feel that SORA is not to be feared. Their self-confidence is not unreasonable:AI tools like SORA and ChatGPT have a lot of flaws, such as ChatGPT will generate some answers that do not conform to the facts, and SORA cannot accurately simulate some dynamic effects of space and time......That's why many industry practitioners scoff at AI, which doesn't really help them with the problems they encounter, because the accuracy is not up to it. For these industries, precision is the core, and no matter how high the production efficiency is, it is useless.
Another segment generated by sora**, pay attention to the monkey's tail on the right.
But,Isn't AI a threat to all practitioners? If so, to whom does AI threaten? Looking further, what kind of future will artificial intelligence, represented by ChatGPT and SORA, bring the entire human group into?
Before we get into these issues, let's turn our gaze back to Alpha Dog.
Go has been called "the most complex board game in the world". There used to be many human chess players who believed that AI could conquer international Go and Chinese chess, but it would never be able to conquer Go.
Until the advent of the Alpha Dog.
In March 2016, Alpha Dog and Lee Sedol played a man-machine battle in Go and won with an overall score of 4-1.

Subsequently, Ke Jie, the world No. 1 at the time, said with confidence: "Even if Alpha Dog defeats Lee Sedol, it can't win me." ”
However, Ke Jie was soon slapped in the face.
At the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, Alpha Dog registered an account named "master" on Wild Fox Go, and swept the top Go masters in China, Japan and South Korea (including Ke Jie), winning 60 games in a row without a single defeat; In May 2017, Alpha Dog and Ke Jie officially clashed and won with an aggregate score of 3-0.
In one of the games, Ke Jie cried on the spot, and what he felt at that time was the suffocating despair in the face of absolute strength.
Alpha Dog and Ke Jie.
Go can never be conquered by AI", the myth has been shattered. And since the advent of Alpha Dog, the world of Go has also changed significantly.
In the past, the top chess players were nicknamed "Stone Buddha", "Divine Pig", "Demon Knife" and "Viper", and the chess style included "Cosmic Sky Flow", "Zombie Flow" and so on.
Now the top chess player is nicknamed "X-Gong Intelligence". Whoever plays well is usually suspected of cheating first, and then praised is practicing with AI every day, which is highly consistent.
Shen Zhenzhen is now known as "Shen Gong Intelligence".
In the post-alpha dog era, chess players generally began to train with the help of AI, and after seeing the move with the highest winning rate selected by AI, human chess players will naturally use "dog moves" in the game, which also causes many games in the current Go game in the layout stage, as well as some local changes, everyone is repeating the AI's choice, and it is impossible to see which chess player played it.
So Ke Jie said that the current game of Go is getting more and more boring
After the AI intervened, the most reproducible way to play Go was the layout routine. Repeating dog moves with opponents, and it is difficult to play your own strengths, and playing chess becomes a boring thing. In this case, Ke Jie felt that the Go game had become boring, and it was not incomprehensible. However, just as life must go on, so must the game of Go. Therefore,Instead of complaining about AI, let AI be your helper.
Sparring with AI.
Stepping out of the Go world, Wang Tianyi, the first person in Chinese chess, is a good example. For the software moves of chess, Wang Te can not only skillfully disassemble, but also be good at creating wrong traps for the opponent through "off-score" in the gameIntegrate the software with your own strong mid-game capabilitiesBecame the first human chess player to break the 2800 rating.
Wang Tianyi. With Zhuyu in front, Ke Jie can completely grasp the medicine according to the prescription and try to combine the ideas of AI with her own smart style. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to really "snipe" Shen Zhenzhen, the first person in Go who has memorized the changes of AI.
Having told so many stories about Alpha Dog, what I want to convey means:For AI, there are those who cry and scold, and naturally there are those who welcome with a smile. But whether it's scolding or welcome, AI has had a substantial impact and change on humanity.
Let's talk about Sora. The so-called "arsenic of A, honey of B", who will regard sora as arsenic, and who will regard sora as honey?
At present, in the field of production, the application of SORA may greatly simplify the process from script creation, shooting, editing to post-production, and reduce the threshold and cost of production. This can lead to the risk of losing jobs for some of the more repetitive and less skilled jobs.
Sora generates cute pets that don't exist in real life.
The traditional film and television industry will also face challenges. For example: almost all film and television dramas have empty shots. In the past, these shots were shot manually and then edited according to the lens switching. Why bother with that now, just give Sora a message.
The efficient generation of AI tools and the endless creativity of AI tools are a magic weapon in the hands of those who use them well. The people most likely to be harmed are those whose level is about the same or even less than that of AI. For example, the workers in the chocolate factory who were replaced by mechanization. Machines do it better and faster than people, and they are tireless, and although it is cruel, there is no reason not to use machines. In the post-AI era, either your work AI will not be able to, or the AI will not do as well as you, otherwise, it is very likely that you will be smashed by AI.
When change happens, there will definitely be an impact, because there will definitely be change. For most people, they are not creating change, but being affected by it, so how to adapt to change is the main thing. If you're scared, embrace AI early; Otherwise, in addition to AI, there will be those who will use AI in the future.
Unmanned factory. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, more and more people are also worried that AI will one day replace humans.
Liu Cixin saidIt is easy to overestimate the impact of technology on current society and underestimate the impact of technology on future society.
When the electric light was first invented, it was widely reported that the night of mankind would no longer be dark. But in fact, at that time, only a few people installed electric lights, and they were not so easy to use, the noise was too loud, and the neighbors were just devices to show off their wealth. But then artificial lighting did change human society and make the "city that never sleeps" a reality.
Early electric lights.
Again, now artificial intelligence is on the cusp and is being hyped up. The good ones say that AI will give us eternal life, and the bad ones say that they will destroy us, or at least lose our jobs. But in recent years, artificial intelligence has indeed affected our lives to a certain extent, such as face recognition can pay for faces; Ads are pushed more accurately; But none of the changes have reached the point where we are shocked in an instant.
Face recognition. But the long-term impact is unpredictable. It is possible that this technology will eventually become an inseparable part of human society, just like the application of electricity in human society, the application of the Internet in human society, and the application of mobile phones in human society.
In the history of mankind, great advances in tools have always had far-reaching consequences. When technology first appears, it overheats, then cools, matures, and finally takes on the form it is. For example, today's metallurgy, chemical and material technology, you use an ordinary gel pen, will use these three technologies. These technologies have profoundly changed human society and are also indispensable technologies for human society. In the future, the products we use at will probably be inseparable from the support of artificial intelligence.
