After a long while, Jiang Shuwen stopped crying, he took a deep breath quickly, trying to adjust his emotions, and after about a minute, he calmed down, and then said: "I couldn't help but shed tears when I looked at my father, who was already full of white hair, haggard, and old tears. At that time, I felt a great sense of powerlessness, in the face of such a big historical trend, what can we, ordinary people, do? In the face of such a mighty trend of the times, in the face of the coming era of artificial intelligence, we are like small animals. ”

Jiang Shuwen's father compared himself to a ploughing cow, and now he compares ordinary people to a small animal, Xu Xincheng felt a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Little animal?"

"Yes, critters. My father compared himself to a ploughing ox, but, Shinsei, during this time, I felt that we were not even ploughing oxen, and in the face of the rolling forward and mighty trend of the times, we were actually small animals, we were as weak and small as rabbits, kittens, and puppies.

Artificial intelligence is like a monstrous flood, and as artificial intelligence continues to be applied to more areas of work, it is like a monstrous flood that continues to invade more areas of human work.

The more intelligent the AI is, the more widely it is used, the higher the water level of this flood will rise, and the greater the impact area will expand, and the field of accounting and finance will be a low-altitude plain that will be submerged by more than 70%, or even 80%, or even more in the next decade, or even less.

My father was like an old ploughing ox on the small plains of finance and accounting, and he and his companions were as helpless as ploughing cattle in the face of a raging flood.

In fact, in the last year, my father didn't give up his efforts, he worked hard to improve his financial skills, he worked hard to find promotions, and he and his colleagues tried to climb higher and higher like cattle who finally recognized the danger.

But the problem is that the area at the top of this plain is too limited to accommodate so many ploughing cattle, and it is impossible for the ploughing cattle who have occupied the top position to give up their position in order to protect themselves.

He also had a hint of luck at one point, and he hoped that the company's leaders would be able to let him work for a few more years because he had worked for the company conscientiously for more than 30 years, even if he was demoted and his salary was reduced, as long as he could survive until he retired.

Of course, there is another option for the cattle, which is to climb to other higher plains and work in other occupational fields, but this is not easy to say, like my father, the old ploughing cattle who are over half a hundred years old, even if they are put on other plains, it is difficult for them to adapt to the new working environment, and it is impossible for them to climb from the low places of those new plains to the high places.

My father was an old cattle that was swept away by the torrent of the times, and I now feel that in the era of artificial intelligence, we are not even strong and powerful cattle farming, we are just some weak and powerless little animals.

Moreover, our generation is not only facing the invasion of this monstrous flood, but we are also burdened with the three mountains of education, medical care, and housing, and we are under tremendous economic pressure in our lives, and we are facing imminent unemployment pressure in our work.

The more Jiang Shuwen spoke, the more negative he became, the more he spoke, Xu Xincheng knew that he couldn't just listen anymore, he had to intervene immediately, otherwise, he would sink, if he was allowed to sink like this, his mental and psychological state would get worse and worse, and his work and life would also be greatly affected, and his own situation would become worse because of this.

He took a deep breath, thought about it, organized his words, and said with concern: "Brother Shuwen, I know that during this time, you have been very uncomfortable, I have always hoped that my uncle can recover as soon as possible, and I hope that you can cheer up as soon as possible." I understand your feelings and thoughts, and you're quite right, AI is like a monstrous flood. ”

In the face of Jiang Shuwen's terrible mental and psychological condition at the moment, Xu Xincheng knew that he could not refute directly, but needed to express his feelings first, express his concern, and express his affirmation of some of his views, which is the most basic skill of communication.

He paused, changed his tone, and said firmly: "However, we are not small animals, for hundreds of thousands of years, we human beings have fought against heaven and earth, overcome many natural disasters, and overcome many great changes. The flood of artificial intelligence is indeed an unprecedented challenge, but it is not invincible. We have super subjective initiative, social collaboration ability, innovation and creativity and other capabilities, and we are fully able to overcome it and overcome it. ”

As soon as he finished saying the paragraph just now, Xu Xincheng felt that he had said too much, too much, he quickly turned his brain around several times, and felt that he should say something more specific, so as to play a better role in comforting, so he added: " Specific to individuals, such as the three of us, the three of us have the conditions and ability to overcome this challenge, our field of work is the most difficult to be replaced by artificial intelligence, although we also need to constantly improve ourselves in order to have a stronger competitiveness, but in general, we are relatively safe. Although we are also facing great economic pressure, if we continue to work hard for a few more years, we should be able to improve more economically. ”

"Xincheng, the three of us are indeed relatively lucky, our current work is safe for a relatively long time, but not all of us are as lucky as us. ”

"That's true. So, in addition to being alone, we also have to help those who are not as fortunate as we are when we have the spare power. ”

Jiang Shuwen raised his glass and took a sip of tea, the expression on his face was very sad, and said, "You know, I have a younger brother who is in his third year of college and is still majoring in accounting. ”

He shook his head greatly, sighed loudly, and continued: "The university he attends is seriously lagging behind in the major setting and teaching, first, it has set up many majors that are about to be eliminated by AI, and second, the course materials and teaching content are seriously backward.

Three years ago, when I saw his college acceptance letter, when I saw that he had been assigned to such a promising major, I knew immediately that the situation was very bad, but my father was still very happy, saying that this was fate, and that I would have a lot of common language with him in the future.

As it stands, he is unemployed as soon as he graduates.

You say, what about young people like him? What should they do?"
