Chapter 282 Artificial Intelligence Simulates Human Thinking

Malaysian companies talk about subverting the online shopping industry. If any Malaysian company said this, they would be ridiculed for overestimating their capabilities.

But Alpha will not. As the only world-class Internet company in Malaysia except China and Americen, Alpha’s strength has been fully verified in subverting the search engine industry in the past.

Google's market share was cut in half, and it was forced to transform as an artificial intelligence company. During this period, it launched an imperfect artificial intelligence search engine, but because the experience was far inferior to the new Bing equipped with Hornbill technology base, they not only failed to regain their own market share, and was once again cast a vote of no confidence by capital.

Capital does not believe that Google can change in a short period of time and reverse its current decline in the search engine field. Google's market value has evaporated by more than one-third, and it is considered to be the next Yahoo.

Baidu was forced to invest all its wealth in driverless cars, hoping to gain a foothold in the new era through driverless cars. Baidu's market share in China is even worse. From a broad search engine perspective, Baidu's market share is not even 20%.

There are more and more young people, and the frequency of PC usage is getting lower and lower. Baidu's market share will only become smaller and smaller.

As the direct driving force behind the strangulation of the two technology giants Hua Guo and American, Alpha Technology’s words like this really made the market nervous.

After the report came out, Alibaba’s stock price fell 8% and Amazon’s stock price fell 5 points. On the contrary, as the core partners of Alpha Technology, the stock prices of Microsoft and Tencent soared.

The market believes that Alpha’s global expansion will also be suspended due to political factors, and their business expansion outside Southeast Asia can only be carried out through cooperation with Microsoft and Tencent.

Taking Tencent as an example, it has already captured Baidu's market share. If it leverages Alpha's power to capture Alibaba's market share, BAT would have been unified and integrated by the T family.

"Mr. Oraz, welcome to your arrival. In the past year, the cooperation between Tencent and Alpha Technology has been very pleasant. With the help of Alpha Technology, Tencent's Hornbill AI has developed rapidly and has become an installed base with more than five Ten million applications." Mark, a Tencent executive with power second only to Pony, beamed.

The BBC's report attracted global attention. Public opinion was that Alpha Technology was going to open up a "war" in new fields. Not long after it overturned the search engine table, it was ready to overturn the online shopping table.

The investment field related to online shopping is in a bloody turmoil, and everyone is rushing to flee.

Opportunities are always born in such turmoil. Tencent originally wanted to talk to Alpha Technology, but unexpectedly Oraz came to the door first.

This made Mark overjoyed.

In Tencent, we attach great importance to cooperation with Alpha Technology. Simply for Alpha Technology, they have established a branch in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. There are dozens of people there responsible for matters related to cooperation with Alpha Technology. .

“Of course, Hornbill is an epoch-making product that embodies the latest technology from Alpha.

This kind of cooperation is not enough. We hope to reach further cooperation with Tencent to focus on the next generation Hornbill to cooperate,” Oraz said.

In a sense, Oraz's position is that of a puppet. Compared with the past, life is much better now, not to mention the sense of accomplishment brought by being the CEO of Alpha Technology and traveling among various executives and entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia, which has further improved his spiritual world. Great satisfaction.

Materially, whether it is salary or the hidden benefits brought by his position, it is enough for him to live a good life.

So not only is he not disgusted with being a puppet, he even enjoys it.

Is there any job that requires less brains than being a puppet?

“Tencent is very willing, but what is the next generation of Hornbill?” Mark just said it.

"Mark, do you know how artificial intelligence is applied in the field of online shopping?" Oraz did not answer directly, but changed the subject.

Mark thought for a while, "I probably know.

The current application of artificial intelligence in the field of online shopping is more like a kind of data analysis.

They mainly help online shopping platforms Utilize the data collected from buyers and sellers to make more accurate business decisions and optimize user experience.

It includes pricing optimization, user experience optimization, user type segmentation, intelligent logistics and warehousing, sales and Demand forecasting and many other aspects.

But no matter what it is, its essence is data analysis.”

"Yes, but this is the artificial intelligence of the previous generation, and the artificial intelligence of the next generation will directly help users make choices.

In the next generation of Hornbill in alpha technology's internal beta, it will be based on your

For example, if you say you need headphones, it will automatically help you choose headphones based on your past purchases. The standard corresponding to the level is a monthly salary of 3,000, then Hornbill will automatically help you match merchants, place orders, pay, and fill in shipping addresses.

You only need to put forward your needs, and start from past ideas, needs, screening, comparison, and more. From user evaluation to placing an order, the entire chain is shortened to making a request and receiving the goods

Mark, I can give you an account for the internal beta version of Hornbill. You can try it, but you have to give it the corresponding permissions.

I think you should have two mobile phones. Even if you don't, it is not difficult for you to buy another mobile phone. You can use two mobile phones at the same time to shop with Hornbill through traditional methods.

We will talk after you compare. ”

After hearing this, Mark quickly contacted his secretary and asked the other party to help him find an unopened Android phone, then installed the beta version of Hornbill and completed the login using the token Oraz gave him. .

“Okay, Mark, this is going to be a new experience. "Olaz said.

It was naturally impossible for Mark to experience this thing by himself. Instead, after meeting Oraz, he urgently called all Tencent's internal executives responsible for local life together for a meeting, and first introduced a brief introduction to the situation.

“I think what Alpha Technology essentially wants to do, to eliminate online shopping, is only very superficial. In essence, it is to replace human thinking.

Shopping is a relatively complex part of human thinking activities, involving From judging whether it is suitable for you to comparing prices, judging the authenticity and quality of the required items, and making decisions, the entire decision-making chain is very long and complicated.

Even for people, his. The demand is the same, because some subtle differences, such as whether to see goods A or B first, will lead to different decisions.

I don’t think artificial intelligence can replace humans in completing this series of complex activities. br>


No, more accurately, it should be that even if artificial intelligence can replace humans, how can we convince users during the promotion process that the decisions made by artificial intelligence for them are better than those made by themselves?

I think this is almost impossible to do. ”

“I don’t agree with David’s point of view.

However, I think David’s conclusion is correct, but the path to derive the conclusion is wrong.

It is indeed difficult for artificial intelligence to replace humans for shopping, but it is definitely not because artificial intelligence cannot make more accurate decisions.

Because this is a proposition that cannot be falsified, how do you judge who makes better decisions, you or artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence alone can automatically compare prices across the entire network, and what you buy for you must be the lowest price.

Even if it is not the lowest price, it can still be compared from the perspective of product quality, praise rate, etc., unless the decision made by artificial intelligence is not the optimal solution in any aspect.

This is impossible. Coupled with Tencent's propaganda and the Chinese people's innate admiration for high technology, they believe that artificial intelligence can help them make more accurate decisions than themselves, which will be simpler than what David just said.

I think the problem here is that shopping is a pleasure for many people, and everyone enjoys it. Artificial intelligence helps them place orders, which is equivalent to depriving them of that pleasure.

So Hornbill can occupy a certain market share, but it is only a part of the people who don’t like shopping.

It is difficult to completely kill Taobao, JD.com or Pinduoduo like search engines.

This is unrealistic. "

"I think what both of you said is very reasonable, but before discussing, Mr. Ren, should we first take a look at what the next generation of Hornbill will look like? ”

Mark nodded: "Let's take a look first."

He projected the interface of the Android phone on the screen. Everyone stared at it intently, curious about what Alpha Technology could do.

“Buy me a piece of clothing for the season.” After completing a series of authorizations, Mark said to Hornbill’s dialog box.

"Okay." Hornbill popped up a sentence in the dialog box.

Five minutes later, "The order has been placed. The specific order is as follows."

Mark clicked on it and saw that he had indeed ordered a navy blue slim-fitting tennis shirt from Ralph Lauren in his size.

“Do you need to purchase pants or other accessories?” Hornbill followed up with this sentence.

"I've been craving for snacks lately."

"Do you want to eat it right away, or within two days, or do you have no time requirements?"

"Please buy from me according to these three items respectively."

This time it took a little longer. Five minutes later, the order appeared on the phone. Immediately, durians from the nearby fruit shops were delivered to your door within half an hour. Maxims from Xiangjiang were delivered within two days. Mooncakes, no time required are rabbit heads from Shudu.

After a moment of silence, Mark said: "If I were allowed to choose by myself, I might have to think for a long time before I can think of buying these.

The level of intelligence shown by Hornbill is already very high.

Especially the Rabbit Head. In fact, I only bought it once from my Pinduoduo account, two years ago, and I can still find it.”

After speaking, Mark opened Pinduoduo and Ele.me and JD.com proved that these three orders came from these three platforms respectively.

He said with emotion: "For this reason alone, Hornbill is of great value. It can help countless patients with difficulty making choices solve their problems.

I also found an interesting point. Just now I said I wanted to eat, It’s all just for testing, and after I placed the order, I felt like I really wanted to eat these.

This technology is terrible.”

“ I'm a little interested in commercial aerospace recently. Please recommend some books to me."

"Okay"

The order was quickly placed, and upon further inspection, Hornbill helped him purchase internal research materials from CICC: "Commercial Aerospace: Who Can Become China's SpaceX" and "The Development History of Light Armor Aerospace". The latter books were also the same. It is internal information, internal information of Huaguo Aerospace.

“Why did you buy these two books for me?”

“Because commercial aerospace in China and even the world can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is in Before the birth of SpaceX, although there were many commercial aerospace companies, their gimmicks were greater than their reality, and they had no commercially valuable output in their long careers.

The second stage is after the birth of Space, the light armor. Before the birth of aerospace, at this stage, SpaceX created and digested a large amount of commercial aerospace demand, moving commercial aerospace from concept to reality

The third stage is after the birth of light armor aerospace. At this stage, mankind has stepped on the threshold of space commercialization and is very close to large-scale utilization of space resources.

So if you want to understand commercial aerospace, you only need to understand these two companies. "

Everyone here looked at each other.

Mark did not test anymore. He felt that this was enough and there was no point in testing anymore.

"Boss, this is amazing. Because in the past it was obvious that Hornbill only integrated search and crawled content for you, but now it has begun to output thinking content.

It’s an amazing transformation, if I didn’t know it was artificial intelligence, I would totally think it was a real person talking to me.

I think we need to figure out one thing, that is, Alpha and the others can do it, and everyone can enjoy this level of artificial intelligence.

In other words, this level of artificial intelligence requires only a small part of the computing power. Even if the number of users increases to tens of millions or billions, Alpha Technology can still meet it. Or is it just internal The beta version is sufficient for a very small number of users.

This is very important.

Secondly, after watching the entire demonstration, I also believe that for Alpha, subverting online shopping is second, training their artificial intelligence and further advancing artificial intelligence to simulate the limits of human thinking is a more important purpose.

Why didn't we find them? They took the initiative to find us first.

Because except for large-scale promotion in China, it is impossible to promote it in other places.

Just data security alone has blocked it. Think about it, how much sensitive data is involved.

Users' shopping data, residential address, basic information, etc., cross-platform data must be captured by it, and it even has to pay for software authorization.

In Europe or America, it would be impossible for Alfa to do this. They can only do this in China.

Users in China also lack sensitivity in data security and are willing to sacrifice data security for convenience.

They come to us as a last resort.

To be honest, it may not be a good 'business' for us. ”
