This article is a conversation I had with ChatGPT in April 2023 on the topic of "Has Human Society Started the "Fourth Digital Revolution Era"? There are many ways to use AI natural language models, and I think what large models are good at is conversational discussions.
I have given up the use of chatgpt, this model is not open to Chinese mainland, abnormal ways to register accounts, instability and legal risks. The main reason for giving up is that a batch of AI natural language models in China in 2023 will have to be made public as soon as possible under the impetus of ChatGPT. It turns out that many large Internet technology companies in China have already started research in this area, and I have been trying to use it for a long time. The gap with ChatGPT is very small, and it is very easy to use for me, a knowledge learner, an academic scholar, and an article creator. The domestic natural language models that I focus on and use are:
I'm a heavy customer of these big models, and they're like my friends and teachers. We can sit together at any time to chat, consult knowledge, and discuss academically.
The first systematic discussion and conversation between me and ChatGPT a year ago was sorted out, and it was ChatGPT that led me to step into the door of the field of artificial intelligence natural language models, allowing a retired old man to keep up with the pace of the times and live a good life.
The red font is my question and opinion elaboration, and the black text is ChatGPT's answer and elaboration.

In conclusion, digital science is playing an increasingly important role in modern science, accelerating the progress of scientific research, improving the efficiency and accuracy of scientific research, and making scientific results more visual and easy to understand.
Compared with the industrial revolution, is human digitalization an epoch-making digital revolution?
The digital revolution and the industrial revolution are two different historical processes, but they both have had a profound impact on human society. The industrial revolution changed the mode of production, improved production efficiency, promoted the development of modern industry, and brought human society into the era of industrialization. The digital revolution is the application of information technology in various fields, changing the way people live and work, and promoting the rapid development of society.
The digital revolution can be considered an epoch-making revolution because its impact on human society is very far-reaching and widespread. The development of digital technology has made it easier for people to obtain information, communicate and cooperate, and accelerate the dissemination of knowledge and technology. Digital technology has also increased production efficiency and boosted the economy. At the same time, digital technology has also changed people's lifestyles, giving rise to new industries and new business models.
An important feature of the digital revolution is its speed and scale. Digital technology is developing at a very fast pace and has a wide range of applications. The application of digital technology has penetrated into all aspects of people's lives, involving many fields such as economy, politics, and culture. Digital technologies have also driven globalization between countries, bringing the world closer together.
Therefore, it can be said that the digital revolution is an epoch-making revolution, which has a profound impact on human society, it has changed people's lifestyles and promoted economic and social development.
You agree with my argument that the digitization of human society is a digital revolution that can be compared with the industrial revolution of human society
AI language models, I wouldn't completely agree or disagree with your argument because it's a complex issue that involves many different aspects, and everyone may have different opinions and perspectives. However, in terms of technology and social impact, the digital revolution can indeed be compared to the industrial revolution. The development of digital technology has brought about profound changes in the way human society produces, communicates and manages, which has had a wide impact. The digital revolution has brought endless possibilities and innovations, allowing people to digitally solve problems such as healthcare, transportation, education, and social networking. The application of digital technology has also promoted globalization and informatization, bringing countries and regions closer together and accelerating the dissemination of knowledge and technology.
However, there are also some challenges and problems in the digital revolution, such as privacy protection, data security, and social equity. In addition, the development of digital technology has also exacerbated the digital divide, and some regions and groups of people may not be able to enjoy the convenience brought by digitalization. Therefore, the digital revolution can be seen as a digital revolution comparable to the industrial revolution, but we also need to recognize the various challenges and problems brought about by the digital revolution and strive to solve them in order to realize the maximum potential of the digital revolution and the value of society.
The industrial revolution can be divided into several stages, the invention and mechanization of the steam engine, the invention and electrification of electricity, (the invention and informatization of computers and the Internet, this stage is better in the stage of the digital revolution or the stage of the industrial revolution).
The Industrial Revolution can be divided into different stages, and there are different opinions on how to divide them. A common division is to divide the Industrial Revolution into three stages: the first stage is the steam engine and mechanization, the second stage is electricity and electrification, and the third stage is the invention and informatization of computers and the Internet. According to this division, the invention and informatization of computers and the Internet should be regarded as the third stage of the industrial revolution. This stage is also an important part of the digital revolution, because the emergence and popularization of computers and the Internet have changed the way information is transmitted and processed in human society, and have greatly promoted the development and application of information technology. In general, the industrial revolution and the digital revolution are two different historical processes, but in the development process of the digital revolution, the invention and informatization of computers and the Internet have also become an important stage and milestone of the digital revolution.
The stage of the digital revolution is the third stage of the industrial revolution, and a comprehensive transformation of human society has taken place on the basis of informatization after the invention of the computer Internet, right?
The digital revolution is indeed based on informatization after the invention of computers and the Internet, but the scope of the digital revolution is more extensive, not only involving the development of information technology, but also including the transformation of human society in all aspects of production, communication and management. The digital revolution has brought about fundamental changes in the way human society operates and manages, thus changing the face of human society. The application and development of digital technology has greatly improved production efficiency, and has also brought about the formation of new business models and industrial chains. Digital technology has also made it easier for people to carry out cross-border exchanges and cooperation, and has promoted the process of globalization and informatization. The impact of the digital revolution is not limited to the economic and productive spheres, but also involves socio-political, cultural and personal life. The application of digital technology has changed people's lifestyles and behaviors, but it has also brought new social issues and challenges, such as the digital divide, privacy protection, and information security.
Therefore, the digital revolution can be seen as a comprehensive human social change, the scope and impact of which go beyond the foundations of computer and Internet invention and informatization in the third stage of the industrial revolution.
Can you say that human society has experienced the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution from a large latitude, and is now entering the stage of digital revolution in an all-round way
Yes, from a large historical perspective, human society has experienced the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and is entering the stage of digital revolution. The revolutions of each period have had a profound impact on human society and promoted the progress and development of society.
The agricultural revolution was the first major transformation of human society, which promoted the transformation of human society from nomadic life to sedentary life, so that human beings could use land and resources more efficiently for agricultural production, thus achieving the initial development of society.
The Industrial Revolution is another important transformation in the development of human society, which promotes the transformation of human society from handicraft to mechanization and large-scale industrial production, thus bringing unprecedented production efficiency and wealth growth.
The digital revolution is an important transformation that is taking place at present, which has promoted the transformation of human society from the traditional mode of production, communication and management to the mode of production, communication and management based on digital technology. The application and development of digital technology will greatly change the face of human society and promote social progress and development. Therefore, it can be said that the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution and the digital revolution are three important historical stages of human society, each of which has had a profound impact on the development of human society and promoted the continuous progress and development of human society.

This dialogue was very systematic and enlightening to me. Unconsciously, human beings have stepped into a new era - the digital age, and unconsciously artificial intelligence has penetrated into all fields of society and all aspects of life. I have been using several large models in China for more than half a year, which makes me very mentally down-to-earth, and my country's artificial intelligence research and application are really advanced. It should be used actively, and only when it is used in depth can you experience surprises and you have the right to speak.
I am a heavy user of China's AI natural language model, and I am also a training contributor to China's AI natural language model.
