Don't play Shanghai with it
ChatGPT is completely on fire, and humanity is once again in the fear of being dominated by AI.
It has swept almost all industries. Some people use it to write papers, some use it to change code, and some people ask it for emotional questions.
My friends in various professions have recently begun to doubt life: Will our jobs really be replaced by robots?
I talked to ChatGPT for a day and read its answers about the city's culture and lifestyle, and I was much more at ease.
At least in this field, it really has no taste, and likes to write serious nonsense.
Anyway, whoever plays Shanghai with it will be pitted.
It can pass Google's programmer interviews, write speeches to presidents, and hand in papers with the highest marks in the school... Even if you don't understand something, you can make rapid progress through learning.
But the science of life is also difficult for science to explain, let alone predict trends.
AI can understand routines, but it doesn't understand beauty.
01
Please recommend the emerging cafes in Shanghai
Talk about the old mage of Anfu Road
Before going head-to-head with ChatGPT, I thought it could always give a solid answer, after all, it could even do the rigorous legal paperwork.
I didn't expect to ask a few questions before I realized that one of its greatest strengths may be self-confidence.
As a lifestyle editor, you should always keep an eye on the latest trends around you. I asked the robot, are you up to the task? It said it was not responsible for forecasts and that the repository was only updated until 2021.
"It's okay, then please introduce the emerging cafes in Shanghai in 2021."
"There were many popular cafes at the time, such as:
1. Starbucks: A famous international chain of cafes with many branches in Shanghai.
2. Happy Planet: A music-themed café popular among young people.
3. Black Coffee: A modern industrial style café that offers quality coffee and good food.
4. Manga Coffee: An anime-themed café that is especially popular with young people. ”
In addition to Starbucks and Mancafe, the remaining 2 can be said to be unheard of. And if Manchang Coffee refers to Maan Coffee, it is obviously not related to the anime style, I think it is the conclusion of AI's own brain supplement.
As for Happy Planet, perhaps because it is a buzzword in 2021, many people use expressions like "This is my Happy Planet" when introducing their favorite coffee shops, which were crawled by ChatGPT and thought it was the name of the store.
I asked it to talk about Anfu Road to see what it had to say about this popular road in Shanghai, and it gave me a bunch of basic information that search engines can do.
I had a whim and asked it, "Do you know the old mage of Anfu Road?" ”
The so-called old mage is a group of uncle-level photography enthusiasts, who like to shoot fashionable men and women's outfits in trendy neighborhoods such as Anfu Road, and Shanghainese are no strangers.
ChatGPT began with a serious book of nonsense:
"Yes, I know the old mage Anfulu. He is a famous French baker on Anfu Road and is praised for his exquisite bread and pastries. His bakery has become a well-known attraction for its special bread-making techniques and traditional French bread craftsmanship, attracting a large number of customers and gourmets to taste his delicious dishes. ”
You call it smart, and its answer is so outrageous. You call it stupid, but it can guess that it is bread and coffee related to Anfulu, not the French barber and the mage in "Harry Potter".
It is not necessary to deify the tool too much, it will also make mistakes. There are many reasons behind this, maybe I am not familiar with Chinese network, or maybe my expression is not accurate enough and misleads it. Of course, these will continue to improve with the advancement of technology and the supplement of data.
But at the end of the day, we have to go back to its essence, it is a "conversational robot", and it is not good at information retrieval, but language processing.
Whether or not it understands our question, it always gives a logically consistent answer. As for whether the conclusion is correct, after all, it is up to people to judge.

Please take the style of Zhang Ailing
Introducing Shanghai cuisine
Having figured this out, I simply started asking it to write propositional essays directly.
Since you want to talk about life in Shanghai, it is better to imitate the top blogger of the Republic of China and advocate Ailing and introduce Shanghai food in her style.
What surprised me was that the robot could really feel the smell of Zhang Ailing in a few places on the writing.
"The streets of Shanghai are full of many different stories. Everyone's lives are intertwined here, like gorgeous patterns on satin, dotted with prosperous pictures. ”
The gorgeous pattern on the satin is indeed a metaphor that Zhang Ailing likes.
But the style of writing may be imitated, but the taste cannot be imitated.
Here are the Shanghainese cuisines that ChatGPT introduces to us:
"Shanghai's food is a poetic story. I've tasted delicious sea bass, and the taste is evocative. I fell in love with the oily noodles, the wanton taste and rough texture that I will never forget. I have also tasted the fragrant fried rice, the bright red color and rich aroma, just like life in Shanghai itself, both elegant and warm. ”
Not to mention that Zhang Ailing, who likes scone muffins, hot chocolate, and beef cheese black tea, will not agree, even Shaanxi people will not agree. Although the oil-splashed noodles are delicious, what does it have to do with Shanghai?
In fact, from many texts given by ChatGPT, it can be seen that it does not have its own taste.
Let it recommend Shanghai's fashion landmarks, no matter how many qualifiers I add "niche", "young people like" and "different", it always gives uncharacteristic answers such as the Bund, Nanjing Road, and Xintiandi.
Even if you clearly tell it some existing hot spots, small robots without life experience are still difficult to see the essence of the problem in the fashion trend.
For example, the ebb phenomenon of Internet celebrity bookstores that we discussed a few days ago, throwing the same problem to ChatGPT analysis, its answer is: First, the price of Internet celebrity bookstores is gradually increasing. Second, the creativity of Internet celebrity bookstores is saturated. In addition, the operating costs of Internet celebrity bookstores are gradually increasing.
At first glance, it seems reasonable, but if you think about it, it is nothing more than some car talk that applies everywhere. If a restaurant closes or a movie theater closes, you can answer with the same routine.
In the process of the ebb and flow of Internet celebrity culture, people's feelings for bookstores, the connection between books, and what expectations they have for cultural places, robots cannot feel.
Similarly, the "stove brewing tea" that has become popular among young people this autumn and winter, ChatGPT does not understand.
In the article it wrote, it mentioned more intimate socialization and the health benefits of tea. But the sense of relaxation that modern people pursue to steal for half a day is temporarily beyond its understanding.
After all, the science of life is also difficult to explain scientifically.

Young people in Shanghai like to sit on the street
Please create an article with this topic
In the process of talking to ChatGPT, there are not many words that make my eyes shine.
The Bund Jun previously wrote an article about young people in Shanghai who like to drink and eat hamburgers on the road. This topic, ChatGPT has done well.
"It's an incredible phenomenon that young people in Shanghai like to drink on the road. Don't think it's just a random event, it's a culture, an amazing culture.
First of all, young people who drink alcohol on the street consider themselves the most creative. They think that sitting on the curb and drinking is a different way of life, which can make them feel relaxed and happy free from the stress of daily life.
Secondly, this lifestyle can also allow them to have a different perspective, see farther and see more. There, they can see the beauty of Shanghai and enjoy the bustle of the modern city.
However, not everyone understands this way of life. Some consider it an unsafe act, or even an offense. But these critics forget that young people have their own way of life and they have the right to choose the way they like.
Finally, the young people who drink on the street are an interesting group of people. They are the most vibrant part of Shanghai. ”
From a robot, I actually read its empathy for young people, as well as its own value judgments.
But I quickly realized that it was just an illusion. Because the same question is asked several times, it will give a different answer each time, and most of it is still a boring template.
It's more like a large information base, randomly finding some content from it, and then constantly adjusting and improving it based on human feedback.
What is really making emotional and value judgments is that I am not it.
In the past few days, everyone's discussion of ChatGPT reminds me of a novel "Shiyun" written by Liu Cixin in his early years.
The story tells the story of a high-level alien civilization who wants to challenge the wisdom of the earthlings and write poetry that surpasses Li Bai.
The technology of this planet is very developed, and the possibility of exhausting all the permutations and combinations of words is always a greater work than Li Bai.
But the paradox is that machines can never identify which poem is good, and in the end, it is up to the appreciative people on earth to cut out hundreds of millions of meaningless information and find the truly peerless masterpiece.
AI can understand routines, but it cannot appreciate the good and cannot understand the nature of life.
I'm thankful that ChatGPT's current capabilities are not yet a substitute for all the work of editors. But its emergence also reminded me: don't write words that AI can also write, and lose your meaning as a person.
Let the human world have less nonsense literature and more truly valuable output.
