Before the article begins, the bad reviewer wants to give a question to the poor friends first, the following four evaluations are used to describe an APP, you can try to guess, what type of APP it is.
I felt the feeling of love.
"I asked Sister Huanglongjiang to go to Chengdu Disneyland once."
Almost, almost stopped Kobe Bryant, who was about to board the plane.
"LIKING (THIS APP) IS ALREADY MY EMOTIONAL PILLAR."
To be honest, I almost shook my head when I saw these comments... It's like a romance novel app, it's like a role-playing game with a lot of freedom, and even, it's a bit of a galgame or otome game, but it doesn't seem to be limited to that.
And we won't sell it anymore.,These comments above were found by the bad reviewer in an app called "Hoshino".
In the past holiday, many people spent time with it, because during the May Day period, Hoshino's user data volume skyrocketed, and even rushed to the seventh place in the overall list of free apps on the AppStore.
Because of this, Hoshino's fresh face immediately attracted the attention of many people, including bad reviewers.
The good news is that no matter what type of app you guess at the beginning, it's actually the right answer, because the app is positioned as an "immersive AI content platform", which claims to be a vast world, and your imagination is its boundary.
Maybe it's still a little abstract.,Let's put it this way.,Those AI functions on the market that write weekly reports、Summarize PDFs、Or translate foreign languages,Hoshino is not good at all of them.。。。 Instead, it's all about emotional value.
Because in addition to being able to fall in love with you like Samantha in the movie "HER", you can also find or pinch out a variety of AI agents to communicate and interact with you.
Seeing this, some friends will definitely ask: Isn't this just playing with AI? Is anyone really good about this?
The bad reviewer just wants to say that there may be a lot of people who are good at this...
Because on the one hand, in people's life and entertainment, the boundary between reality and virtual needs has been blurred, except for going out to play, reading a novel at home during the holidays, and clearing a game, it is no longer a niche practice.
On the other hand, the immersive experience brought by AI has long shown everyone a wave of AI shock of "playing in the family circle".
For example, readers who pay more attention to AI news should have heard of character.ai This company, relying on various user-created AI characters, has already sat on tens of millions of monthly active users and has a valuation of more than $5 billion.
Hoshino is one of the leaders in this field in China, but its Chinese and multimodal capabilities are much stronger than those of character.ai, and in half a year after it was launched, the monthly activity has also reached the level of 10 million.
Anyway, there is so much foreshadowing, and the bad reviewer immediately got started to experience it, and the first experience Hoshino gave me was: Isn't it buddy, are you all playing so big?
After downloading Hoshino Mobile in the app store, registering and logging in, I immediately couldn't sit still when I saw several AI characters pushed to me.
In Honkai Impact · The silver wolf that many people have not drawn in "Star Dome Railway", Hoshino pushed it directly to me... Of course, if you don't like this character, you can match the next lucky person like a blind date software.
You have also seen that in addition to the cute two-dimensional sister, there are also Liu Huaqiang and Eighteen Bronze People, which can be said to have everything.
It's also quite simple to create your own AI character, just use AI to draw a basic image with one click, and then fill in the prompts, greetings, tone, voice and timbre.
Finally, enter the content in the dialog box and you will be able to interact with the corresponding character.
For example, after a few strokes, the bad reviewer was matched with AI Kobe, and we simply exchanged a few words... Tap the play button in the upper left corner of the dialog box, and you can hear the corresponding voice.
Click on the avatar of an AI character to see the details of the AI character.
For example, this AI Kobe Bryant has 283,000 connections and 18,000 fans, and it can only be said that he is still a big star in Hoshino's AI world.
Click on the story column, you can see the whimsy of netizens, click on different story lines, you can open different plots, of course, it's like playing a game, you need to complete the corresponding tasks...
The picture shows that 68 people started the plot to prevent Kobe Bryant from boarding the plane, and 83 people needed to help the amnesiac AI Kobe Bryant retrieve his memory.
For example, the bad reviewer successfully prevented Kobe Bryant from boarding the plane and completed the goal of this story line.
That's not all, there's something more abstract, Hoshino also has a group function, so I pulled AI Kobe, a thousand-year-old fox in human form, and a vampire disguised as a human into a group.
And they were also intrigued in the group, and they made a big show alive.
can only say that this experience is indeed a bit like playing an RPG game, and the side plot of this game is still created by netizens themselves.
And in addition to the immersive and strong sense of the game, the whimsy of Hoshino's creators also made the bad reviewer experience the sense of déjà vu of watching a short video...
I don't know if you have swiped that kind of short video of cool dramas with the main setting, such as "overnight, the currency depreciated 92.5 billion times, and you became the richest man with a deposit of 3,000".
I swiped the Hoshino version of it, and it was set up as "the global IQ has become low, and 1+1 has become a math problem."
It turns out that in addition to being able to create regular human-like AI characters such as men and women, Hoshino can also create a simple setting, objects, scenes, etc., and even the location of Chengdu Disney has been created as AI...
It can only be said that in the world of Hoshino, there is only what everyone can't think of, and there is nothing it can't do.
Behind the scenes, the bad reviewer feels that Hoshino's innovative UCG content production method has played a lot of roles, because it can allow many seemingly unrelated characters and story elements to collide together, produce a wonderful chemical reaction, and interweave more unexpected new content and ideas.
This has stimulated many creators' desire to create and express.
Let's put it this way, it's different from the AI agents of other platforms, which eat ash after pinching... On Hoshino, creators generally call themselves cub mothers, and the AI characters that are pinched out are called cubs.
Because they feel that the AI they have made up is just like their own children.
Cub mothers will get a sense of accomplishment because they have more and more cub fans.
In addition,Hoshino also has a system called Xingnian.,To put it simply,It's a bit similar to the skin of an AI character or a chat background.,And the key is that this thing can be sold.。。。
For every Xingnian sold, the mother of the relevant AI character can get a 2% share, which can be said to support a wave of creators' creation on the material level.
After all, as the saying goes, in the eyes of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets, and according to Hoshino's tens of millions of monthly lives, it is not only tens of millions of readers, but also tens of millions of Shakespeare...
However, the bad reviewer feels that the emergence and explosion of Hoshino's fantasy perspective product is, in the final analysis, the upgrade of large-scale model technology, which has made the experience of the product reach a real and immersive critical point.
In particular, the addition of the large voice model has made Hoshino more humane in voice interaction.
This is because behind Hoshino is the domestic AI model Unicorn MinMax's own large model.
Don't look at it, it was only founded in December 2021 and is relatively low-key, but it has already launched several products: Conch AI, Glow, and now Hoshino, all of them are quite out of the circle, they don't talk about changing the world all day long, but they are the first batch of large-scale model startups in China to propose AI to 2C.
Just like the words of the founder of MiniMax in an interview with MiniMax, I think it is quite in line with their philosophy: AGI is not a big killer, it is a product that ordinary people use every day.
In the end, the bad reviewer thinks that a hundred years ago, the Lumière brothers, who were tinkering with the projector, could not imagine that film would become an art in the future, carrying human fantasies of light and shadow.
In the fifties of the last century, the physicist Higgin Potan probably would not have imagined that the little game he made on the oscilloscope would later be called the world's first video game, and he could not have guessed that the video game would become the ninth art, making many human fantasies concrete.
Nowadays, AI-native applications such as Hoshino seem to be becoming bridges or containers between people and fantasy worlds.
And people's pursuit of technology is endless, just like people's fantasy, there will never be boundaries.
