On March 16, "Wen Xin Yiyan" (Baidu large language model product) was officially released. At the meeting, Li Yanhong demonstrated the five abilities of Wen Xin's words, literary creation, commercial copywriting, mathematical logic calculation, Chinese understanding, and multimodal generation.
On March 20, according to Shaanxi Metropolitan Express, after more than ten years of research, Northwestern Polytechnical University (hereinafter referred to as Western Polytechnic University) successfully created the "Imperial Artifact Art", which can realize the idea of controlling the drone formation.
The good news of domestic AI has been one after another, and the Chinese people are excited. After all, after the advent of chatGPT, Chinese people were willing to take a lot of risks in order to taste early. All kinds of questions, all kinds of show-offs, won the attention of foreigners. But calm down, people can't help but ask, China, which has been deeply engaged in the Internet for many years, what level of our AI has reached?
No, the domestic one is coming, can the countrymen not be excited? But excitement is excitement, and reason is the ultimate destination.
After chatGPT came out, netizens went through domestic AI and found that there were still a lot, and after the words of Wen Xin came out, the Chinese people even compared domestic AI with foreign AI, but the results were not satisfactory. After Wen Xin's words were released, the stock price fell in response, and the Internet was full of various posts of Wen Xin's "overturning". As a result, "domestic ones are not as good as foreign ones" and "domestic AI is four or five generations worse than foreign ones" and other "fine" remarks are very popular.
But more Chinese people expressed optimism about domestic AI, including the male pot jun.
Let's not talk about how many generations of domestic ones are inferior to foreign ones, looking forward, how much worse China's aerospace space used to be than that of the United States and Russia? How much worse was China's military technology before than Japan's? How much worse was China's economy than the "Four Little Tigers" before? So what about looking at it now?
Of course, we can't be arrogant like the Great Qing Kingdom, but we must not be arrogant, right? Technology needs to be accumulated, just like computers, which used to only recognize 0 and 1, then understood addition and subtraction, then understood words, recognized pictures, and now, entered artificial intelligence. But what about the bottom layer? Isn't it still 0 with 1? How many years are we worse than others in this accumulation? Now look again, of course there is something stuck in the neck, but not without someone else's thing, we can't develop? Of course not.
It is undeniable that our technology is still relatively backward, but it is not very outdated. How many countries can now travel the country with one mobile phone? I'm afraid it's only China. The backwardness of science and technology I am talking about is manifested in the accumulation of history and humanities on the one hand, and the lack of imagination of science and technology on the other hand.
But please don't overlook another issue, the development of science and technology also needs to be imitated, this point, I think we have done a good job, but everyone is not willing to admit it. Imitation seems to be piracy, plagiarism, but I want to say that without imitation, there is no transcendence!
If you don't believe it, you can do an experiment. Although I haven't used Wen Xin so far, you let chatGPT and Wen Xin write ancient Chinese poems at once, and the rhythm poems are casual, and the result will be superior.
However, the countrymen are still modest. At the press conference of Wen Xin's words, Li Yanhong honestly admitted that Baidu is not "completely ready", and also said that it will take time to benchmark ChatGPT, or even GPT-4, because such a threshold is very high.
In comparison, the major breakthrough in brain control technology (that is, the "imperial art" called "imperial art" by netizens) led by Professor Xie Songyun of the School of Electronics and Information of Western Institute of Technology has brought more optimistic scientific and technological prospects to the Chinese people. The experimenter did not use the handle, just stared at the screen to control the drone formation, and realized the control of objects with ideas.
Although this technology is currently only benchmarked in the fields of driverless driving, worker control, education, entertainment, elderly or disabled equipment and medical care, this is also the accumulation of technology, and I see it as 0 and 1 in the field of AI. A few years later, the sci-fi images that netizens are looking forward to such as "taking objects in the air", "mind attacking" and "human and sword unity" may really become a reality.
The spring of Chinese AI is really coming!
