In recent months, the topic of AI job grabbing has been brought up repeatedly. Many people are worried that the powerful production capacity of AI will backfire on them, but will this be the case?
In fact, the current AI is still a good learning tool. For industries that need creativity, services, or improvisation, AI is not a big threat. But for education-related industries, the problem is a bit bigger.
In recent days, a friend of mine who is a dance teacher has said that he really feels the danger of losing his job. Because there was a female college student next to her, she used the AI scanning software that came with the game when describing some unfamiliar dance moves, and even asked the teacher to take a few poses to take back to learn by herself. And this game is NetEase's "Against the Cold" mobile game.
You may wonder why a game threatens the job of a dance teacher? The basis for making money in the dance industry is not public performances as everyone thinks, because only a small number of people can make money from performances, and there are few people who mix up at the national team level. Like performance industries such as piano and magic, many practitioners rely on teaching classes to eat.
However, what AI does best is learning, and bringing what they learn and imitate to users in turn can enhance the meaning of teaching. Teachers who are made of human flesh have injuries and illnesses, and they need to cultivate feelings to be called true knowledge, which is very unstable. But it doesn't matter if the AI made by the machine, not only can all kinds of actions be learned and recorded, but also can be generated anytime and anywhere, and when the understanding of the rules of the world is added in the future, the limit of the human body is limited, and it is naturally no problem to replace humans as one-on-one personal trainers.
But my friend's worries were a bit unnecessary. The AI video gameplay of the mobile game "Against the Cold" is very powerful at this stage, but it cannot subvert the dance world to the extent. Because this tool is currently mainly for the purpose of serving players. In industry parlance, it's about enabling user-generated content (UGC).
According to the official description of this tool, we can see it. This system is called "Crew Mode". Like Sora, who can make two-minute videos and become popular all over the Internet recently, they rely on user typing to generate most of the content, and the mobile game "Against the Cold" also includes the function of modeling generation, as well as scanning character movements to make the modeling move.
Judging from the videos uploaded by the players themselves, many people's main application scenarios are also remaking their own brain holes, designing some dialogues or small theaters. The performance is naturally more natural than many UGC created by borrowing, editing, or action combinations.
Although it can't replace real-life teaching at the moment, it's a bit unexpected that AI is developing so quickly and that it still achieves such a rich gameplay in one game.
Because in addition to scanning actions, the original intention of [Crew Mode] is to include the entire crew, and details such as game scenes, items, and fashion matching can be learned and recalled by AI. When the time comes, remaking a web drama and a short drama is a matter of minutes.
And the AI gameplay of the mobile game "Against the Cold" is not limited to this place. When the game was first launched, it was able to talk freely with NPCs, without restrictions, and the AI system was also added to the play system to help players play copies more efficiently.
The reason why such a rich AI gameplay is set up is inseparable from the official demand for services. Half a year after the launch of the mobile game "Against the Cold", the number of players exceeded 50 million, and the total revenue may exceed 20 billion.
The existence of AI not only enriches the gameplay, but also helps the official provide more nuanced services. It can also enhance the experience through UGC and other content, making the game more famous and attracting more players.
Overall, it is not difficult to see from the AI application ideas of this game. AI may shine in the future of service and accompaniment. For a long time, it will also become a tool to serve users, rather than a competitor to seize the user's living space. It's pretty much the same whether you're a dance teacher or any other profession.
