These days, ChatGPT is everywhere.

According to a report by UBS Group on the 3rd, only two months after the launch of ChatGPT, its monthly active users have exceeded 100 million, becoming the fastest growing consumer-grade application in history.

Bill Gates has also said that he is not very optimistic about Web3 and the metaverse. But he spoke highly of ChatGPT, saying it gave him a glimpse into the future and impressed him with the whole approach and speed of innovation.

This also made some foreign Internet giants unable to sit still.

Google, Apple shot

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet, said today that the company will launch Bard, a conversational artificial intelligence service powered by LaMDA, Google's large language model.

In addition, it is reported that Apple will hold its annual internal AI summit next week. It's like the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference of AI, but only for Apple employees.

Some analysts believe that the emergence of ChatGPT has led to the crushing of Apple's voice intelligence service Siri, and Apple needs a new product that can compete with it.

In China, the popularity of ChatGPT not only exists in some social media, but also spread to the capital market, and many ChatGPT concept stocks once continued to rise.

At the same time, the blockchain and metaverse, which were once so popular that many Internet companies have entered the game, seem to have cooled down.

Blockchain and the metaverse cool ChatGPT is on the rise

I don't know when the once hotly discussed "blockchain" and "meta-universe" no longer frequently appear in the public eye.

The WeChat index shows that the WeChat index of the "meta-universe" in the past year reached its peak in April last year, and the daily index once reached more than 260 million.

After that, the WeChat index of the "metaverse" dropped significantly, with occasional small peaks. In recent days, the WeChat index of the "meta-universe" has seen another wave of small growth, which may be related to the explosion of ChatGPT.

The WeChat index of "blockchain" peaked at the end of August last year, with the daily index reaching more than 18 million. Since then, there has also been a sharp decline, with occasional small peaks. However, the explosion of ChatGPT failed to bring a new wave of growth to the "blockchain".

Baidu index shows that the search index of "meta-universe" has not fluctuated much in the past six months, and there has been no small peak in recent days.

The Baidu index of blockchain has not fluctuated much in the past six months, and has grown slightly in recent days.

ChatGPT's WeChat index had a small peak in December last year. And in recent days, it has skyrocketed.

ChatGPT's Baidu index is consistent with its WeChat index. There was a small peak in December last year, which has skyrocketed in recent days.

ChatGPT concept stocks soared, and many Internet companies expressed their positions

It is understood that in the past two weeks, including Haitian AAC, Yuncong Technology, Science and Technology Daochuang, Fushi Holdings, Tianyima, Guangyun Technology, Tianyu Digital, Gaohong Shares, Hanwang Technology and many other ChatGPT concept stocks have ushered in a wave of sharp rises.

Among them, Hanvon Technology has gained 7 consecutive price limits; The cumulative stock prices of Yuncong Technology and Haitian AAC have also risen by 127% and 134% respectively year-to-date.

In addition to the volatility of these ChatGPT concept stocks, there are also a number of Internet companies that have expressed their views.

Today, luxury e-commerce platform Secoo said that the company will explore the application of intelligent content generation (AIGC) technology to luxury-related businesses, with a consultation resolution rate of more than 90%. In the future, the use of ChatGPT-related technologies will be in-depth research and expansion.

According to Secoo, ChatGPT technology can achieve interactive dialogue similar to real people, further enriching the relevance of luxury related text and video content, product selling point descriptions and other content.

Baidu officially announced through the WeChat public account that the new project of the big model - Wen Xin Yiyan (English name ERNIE Bot) is about to be launched. Baidu has a full-stack layout in the four-layer architecture of artificial intelligence. Including applications such as the underlying chip, deep learning framework, large model, and topmost search. And Wen Xin's words, located at the model layer.

360 said on the interactive platform that the company plans to launch a demo version of ChatGPT-like products as soon as possible. In addition to the application of AIGC technology in search engines, it can also assist the improvement of digital security capabilities.

BlueFocus said on the interactive platform that the company is actively trying ChatGPT technology, its own virtual human Su Xiaomei has intervened in AI multiple rounds of dialogue, AI poetry writing ability has entered the technical testing stage, and will combine AIGC and terminal interaction to do more digital expansion in the future; At the same time, the company is also doing trials and debugging of other ChatGPT products.

Cloudwalk Technology said in the institutional survey minutes that from the perspective of NLP, the amount of data and parameters of domestic large models is no less than that of ChatGPT, and has reached hundreds of billions of data, and even the amount of data and models will be more. Therefore, we are confident that China will achieve a breakthrough in this regard in the past two years (forming a benchmark ChatGPT product).

In addition, companies such as Fantuo Digital Innovation, NavInfo, Guomai Technology, and SunwayWorld have also expressed their positions.

Are the same people who engage in "ChatGPT" and "meta-universe"?

It is worth mentioning that many of the above-mentioned companies have made great publicity when the concept of "meta-universe" exploded, and they wanted to lay out meta-universe business.

For example, when the meta-universe concept caught fire, it repeatedly released signals that the company is closely related to the metaverse business. BlueFocus has revealed that it has cooperated with Baidu, Ali and other big manufacturers in the metaverse.

Baidu launched the metaverse game - Xi Long. However, it did not make much waves.

Haitian AAC said on its interactive platform in November last year that the metaverse field is still in the early stage of development, and for subdivisions within the metaverse framework, such as VR and virtual humans, the company has provided training data products or services for customers engaged in related fields.

Cloudwalk Technology said on the interactive platform in June last year that the company will actively pay attention to the progress of the "meta-universe" concept and technology, seek the connection point between AI technology and the "meta-universe", and explore and expand new areas of AI technology application scenarios in combination with market demand.

In December last year, Fantuo Digital said on the interactive platform that the company's 3D digital technology is related to metaverse-related technologies, and the company will pay close attention to the development opportunities brought by emerging industries to the company's industry.

It can be seen that a large number of companies that have expressed their position on ChatGPT have wanted to lay out the meta-universe.

In addition, some self-media people posted in their circle of friends that the metaverse group has recently changed into a ChatGPT group. This rate of evolution is 10,000 times faster than artificial intelligence.

What do netizens see?

Compared with the blockchain and metaverse of the past, although the popularity of ChatGPT is more than that, many netizens are not optimistic about ChatGPT.

Some netizens said that the hype of the theme has spawned the enthusiasm of the whole people to pursue ChatGPT, so let's witness how this wave of enthusiasm will end.

Some netizens said that in the past, the meta-universe rose sharply, and now it rubbed chatGPT.

Some netizens said that in just a few years, from the blockchain, to the meta-universe, and now there is ChatGPT, there will definitely be a new thing in the near future, in short, to constantly have new concepts, tell new stories, capital will have round after round of new hype.

Some netizens believe that ChatGPT is the best technology in 2023, and low-end text and programmers are greatly challenged. He believes that creativity and art are the future direction of man.

What about domestic ChatGPT?

Recently, a large number of "domestic" ChatGPT have been born in China.

Sanyan mentioned in yesterday's article "When you are still discussing and analyzing ChatGPT, some people have begun to use it to "make money", at present, some domestic ChatGPT-related information is basically selling accounts or purely rubbing hot spots.

Some WeChat public accounts or mini programs named after ChatGPT, most of their content is ChatGPT use or registration tutorials. There are also some conversation accounts that claim to link to ChatGPT, and before they can chat a few words, they start to guide users to pay.

The author also experienced the ChatGPT of a domestic company, and its intelligence is surprising.

When the author asked which seven stars the Big Dipper was, his ChatGPT answer was "This question is too brain-burning, ChatGPT didn't come up with it for a while."

Artificial intelligence will become more and more powerful, and rightly so. ChatGPT is likely to become a trend in the future.

But for now, the author believes that the so-called ChatGPT concept and technology may be divided into three forms in China:

1. Not for technical purposes, but taking advantage of the current heat to raise the stock price, such as an e-commerce company with serious losses; Some listed companies whose stock prices are about to return to zero.

2. If you access the API of ChatGPT and launch or update products in combination with your own business, this kind of entrance will probably be on top of the original product;

3. Self-developed ChatGPT applications, such as Baidu, may also open interfaces. In the future, it will PK with ChatGPT in terms of data volume and artificial intelligence technology.

In any case, ChatGPT is a bit more practical than blockchain and metaverse. But is it really strong demand? The scope of application also requires user education.
