Chapter 1069: Machines are lazy too
Looking up at the sky, Ran Xu sighed depressedly.
The sky is bright and clear, with white clouds drifting leisurely, which is a rare blue sky in the region.
It's a pity that this bright color is neither March blue nor OPEC blue, but high temperature blue.
On sunny days, the air on the ground is heated and rises, which can carry away a lot of pollutants, so the air quality is usually better on a sunny day than on a cloudy day, and the high temperature in these days further strengthens the power of the updraft, and even breaks through the "gray cover" that covers the head in one fell swoop, allowing people to see the clear blue sky that has not been seen for a long time. However, no one should run out to play in the 37 degrees Celsius heat, such weather is only suitable for staying at home and relying on the air conditioner, or running to the shopping mall, supermarket and museum to rub the air cooler.
Fortunately, the State Grid is more powerful, did not drop the chain when the masses need them most, if it is the same as Taipower, these days there are no problems, either temporary power outages or high temperature power rationing, the company must be the public to greet the old lady. Of course, TPC is also unlucky to be a pig politician, originally their power supply quality has long been comparable to that of developed countries in Europe, but when the nuclear power plant, which accounts for 12% of the power generation, was forced to shut down, it was suddenly a little stretched, and it was obviously "completely nuclear-free, power generation with love" pit is not light.
Retracting his gaze, Ran Xu muttered an underestimate: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of people today, and the air conditioner in the International Exhibition Center must not drop the chain!"
According to the tradition, tickets for the science and technology fair are distributed free of charge, and today is a Sunday, so many people should go there to visit and cool off.
With this little wish in his heart, the boy took out his mobile phone to check the time, and walked out of the community towards the nearest bus stop.
The bus he was going to take hadn't come yet, so Ran Xu simply hid in the shadow of the stop sign, took out his mobile phone and played.
Lumia 720, which has accompanied him for three years of high school, has retired with honor, and now he is holding the bee 6lite he received last night.
Fortunately, today's mainstream apps have cross-platform versions, and Bee has also prepared a replacement assistant for other platforms, so the handover between the old and the new is not too troublesome.
It is worth mentioning that,In addition to reading and copying text messages、Contacts、Application list、System settings These common functions,Bee Replacement Assistant also has a character immigration function,It can help players on the Android/iOS/P platform migrate game characters to the Bee platform with one click,Although it is limited to the game operated by Bee itself,And it can only be migrated in one direction,But it still helped Ran Xu solve a lot of troubles。 Relying on this trick, Bee Mobile has not been less than hooking up users from other platforms, and the player's shrewdness is unimaginable.
The buses entered and exited the station, Ran Xu kept his head down and played the game, until the phone in his hand suddenly shook twice, and then he looked up at the direction where the car was coming, and sure enough, the car he was waiting for.
Thumbs up to the "Here Comes the Car" app he used for the second time, and he walked to the bus that was slowing down and stopping. Get in the car, swipe your phone, find a vacant seat and sit down, looking at the blue phone in her hand, Ran Xu can't help but think of her Nokia mobile phone.
NFC near-field communication technology was jointly developed by Nokia, Sony, and Philips Semiconductors, and was first appeared on the Nokia 3220 mobile phone. In the era of feature phones, Nokia Mobile launched many advanced and practical technologies, but it was lost in the era of smartphones, and the mistakes in decision-making were missed one after another and finally sold. Although it has made a comeback this year, it is no longer the same "I promised" it was.
Playing the game all the way, when the mobile phone vibrated again, Ran Xu turned his head to look out of the car, and sure enough, he saw the familiar International Exhibition Center, and a huge body was exposed above the exhibition hall, which was the "big bee" mentioned by Zhou Zhou before.
The shame of "Fat Baby" is too high, and fans prefer to call it "Big Bee's Big Robot", which is referred to as "Big Bee".
Get out of the car and come to the entrance of the National Exhibition, the huge body of the robot is also more displayed in front of Ran Xu, this robot is nearly seven meters tall, purple shell, four legs and six arms, it looks like a machine version of the "God of War of Hell", and the appearance is the same as this "dreamy" popular summoning beast, it doesn't look like a hideous and terrifying feeling, but there is a feeling of being fierce and ugly, but I don't know if I have been authorized.
After queuing up to receive the tickets, Ran Xu didn't go to find Zhou Zhou, who arrived first, and ran straight towards the big robot, intending to get close to this big guy.
There are many people who have similar ideas to him, and the outside of the stainless steel railing has long been surrounded by people who eat melons, all of whom hold their mobile phones high and turn their backs to the robot to take a group photo, because of the unique three-sided and six-arm shape, this "machine version of the God of War of Hell" has no back, and the front and back are frontal, which greatly facilitates everyone to take a group photo.
After taking a group photo easily, Ran Xu walked towards the exhibition hall. Zhou Zhou shared his real-time location with him, waiting for him to meet him in the past.
Finally seeing Zhou Zhou's goods, Ran Xu walked over quickly and patted his shoulder hard, and shouted in a thick voice: "Hey!"
Zhou Zhou was talking to the long-haired cute girl next to him, and he was attacked coldly, and he was trembling at the time. When he came back to his senses, he found that it was Ran Xu, and he was about to take revenge at that time, but the latter pointed to the beautiful woman who had been smiling next to him, "Don't you introduce me?"
Because of the position, the girl had already discovered Ran Xu's approach, but she never meant to remind her, and she was obviously an interesting person.
"Eh!" Zhou Zhou had to stop his movements and pointed at the girl, "Qiao Yayun, the beauty who lives opposite my house, is now a sophomore in high school and a junior in the next semester." Ran Xu, my classmate and sworn friend, is just a little wilted. ”
Smiled and nodded as a greeting, Qiao Yayun said softly: "Correct, my house and his house are indeed window to window, but they are quite far away, with a road and two courtyard walls in between. ”
"May you ask, how did you meet?"
"He looked at my room with a telescope, and I took a picture of it with a pen, and that's how we met. ”
When it comes to reputation, Zhou Zhou hurriedly explained: "I'm an astronomical telescope, and I can't see people." Being photographed by her like this, I almost became a one-eyed dragon, and now my left eye is still not as good as my right eye. ”
Qiao Yayun pouted slightly, "That's because you play too many games, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Zhou Zhou pointed to the glasses on his face, "Then how do you explain why it's the left eye?"
"Hmph, how do I know?"
There was obviously something wrong with the two of them, and in order to avoid being stuffed with dog food, Ran Xu hurriedly interjected to interrupt their daily bickering, "How long have you been here?
"We also just arrived," Zhou Zhou replied, "and we were about to go and see the VR version of Tiangong II." ”
"There's also smart rice paper and smart drawing boards," Qiao Yayun added.
Ran Xu nodded, "Then let's go together!"
These three exhibits are in Hall 1B, walk into the main building of the National Exhibition and turn right into the door, what appears in front of you is the integration of culture and science and technology exhibition area, smart rice paper from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and smart drawing boards from the Bee Research Institute live next to each other, and then go a little further into the booth of AVIC Group, the one-to-one Tiangong-2 space laboratory model looks very conspicuous.
They first went to see the nearest smart rice paper.
This name is actually a nickname given by the media, the real name of this product is the soft pen calligraphy experience table, its main body is a pressure-sensitive touch screen, the audience pinched a special artificial soft pen on it to simulate writing, the system will automatically identify the trajectory and strength to match the corresponding handwriting, it looks like splashing ink on rice paper. In addition to simulating real handwriting, this device also has a masterpiece of tracing and calligraphy games, which is also a novelty for ordinary people, Qiao Yayun ran to try it out, oh no, it was actually experienced.
Waiting for the female companion's effort, Zhou Zhou grinned disappreciatively, "It's also up to them to use a pressure-sensitive screen instead of a large-character book and a red book." The price of this screen alone can buy tens of millions of books!"
Ran Xu is quite optimistic about this product, "This thing doesn't need to run games, it should be able to be used for several years, an investment will benefit for life, and it can also save paper and protect the environment, which still has some value." ”
"Cut!" Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes, "Instead of developing such a platform alone, it is better to make a tablet application and directly let people write on the tablet, isn't it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly?"
"Is the recognition accuracy enough? The capacitive screen is definitely not good, and the electromagnetic screen seems to have a difference of 256, 1024, and 2048 levels, and I don't know which level is enough. ”
At this moment, Zhou Zhou was also dumbfounded, he had only used his father's Hanwang tablet, and knew that some tablets could be written in the original handwriting, but the specific parameters were not very clear.
Glancing at Qiao Yayun, who was still rushing to line up, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go and see the bee's smart drawing board." ”
The bee took out eight smart drawing boards of different sizes in one go, and arranged them in a circle around the booth for everyone to experience casually, which also saved everyone the trouble of waiting in line.
Because of the same use of electromagnetic pressure-sensitive screens, the appearance and usage of the two handwritten products are quite similar, and then they are put together by enthusiastic media to make a pair, but if you go to the actual experience on site, you will find that the technical ideas and user experience of the two are completely different. Smart rice paper deliberately uses a higher-precision pressure-sensitive screen and a special "brush" to better simulate the feel of real writing. In order to reduce costs, Bee only equips the smart artboard with a 256-level electromagnetic pressure pen, and then focuses on the AI engine behind the screen.
Looking at the hardware configuration alone, it is obvious that the smart rice paper wins, but the actual situation on the scene is that the actual experience and popularity of the latter are completely overwhelming.
As for the reason, it lies in their attitude towards the user's handwriting.
The popularity of PCs and smartphones has gradually made pen and paper disappear from people's daily life, not to mention brush calligraphy, which requires long-term practice. In this way, ordinary people lack calligraphy skills, and the handwriting on the screen is naturally difficult to see, so they can only stay away from smart rice paper, and at most stand next to watch the excitement. However, the smart artboard of Bee is different, it uses artificial intelligence handwriting prediction technology, the user's handwriting is just the trigger for triggering recognition, but what is finally presented on the screen is the product created by AI according to the user's intention, which looks obviously much more pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Bee has also prepared a scan code to share to the neck function for the smart drawing board, which further stimulates the audience's "creative enthusiasm".
AI painting is actually an international research hotspot, and there are two directions in this area of research, one is to let AI create independently, and the other is to let AI assist human creation. By studying the works of specific painters, the former can create paintings with a style similar to the original author, and may contribute to the restoration and appraisal of ancient paintings in the future. In contrast, the latter has huge economic value, with the help of artificial intelligence to achieve automatic drawing and automatic coloring of artwork, which can undoubtedly greatly improve the productivity of artists, and then have a profound impact on the downstream comics, animation, and game industries.
As the strongest artificial intelligence research institute in China, the Bee Research Institute will naturally not let go of the hot topic of AI painting, they are obviously walking on two legs, trying in both directions, and then there is this smart drawing board that is in the limelight, it can recognize the user's graffiti and automatically correct it into stick figures in the material library, for some landscapes, flowers and trees, cars, cats and dogs, goldfish, portraits, it can also further fill the texture and color, to help users create a delicate gouache painting.
Putting down the paintbrush, Zhou Zhou took out his mobile phone to scan the code to share his "masterpiece", moved to give up his position, and shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity." ”
"What is a pity?" Ran Xu picked up the conversation just right.
"The knowledge of AI is not comprehensive, and I can only draw beautiful women and landscapes, and I can't fully use my creativity. ”
"Poof!" Ran Xu burst out laughing, "Can you be more shameless?"
"Am I wrong?" Zhou Zhou asked rhetorically as a matter of course, shaking his right hand, "Creativity is as much as it takes for me, and now there is a lack of an AI assistant to help with painting." ”
"Don't think about it," Ran Xu handed his mobile phone to Zhou Zhou, "Look at this, is it very similar to 'your painting'!"
The latter looked down, but saw on the screen the result page of the honey search map, on which there were many pictures that were very similar to the work he had just created, which made him a little speechless for a while.
"See, it's not so much that you command the AI to paint, but rather that the AI modifies someone else's drawing according to your wishes. It's still a long way from a real auxiliary painting!"
At present, Zhou Zhou also had to nod and admit it, and whispered: "I kind of understand." ”
"What do you understand?" this time it was Qiao Yayun who came later.
Zhou Zhou didn't rush to answer, raised his hand and handed his mobile phone to the other party, "Look at this, I just drew it, how did you draw it?"
The latter took a look and nodded slightly, "It's pretty good." Wait, aren't you crippled, you really painted it?"
Then handing over Ran Xu's mobile phone, Zhou Zhou reminded: "Look at this again." ”
The girl looked down and was immediately happy, "You're lazy enough, just put gouache filters on the photo, and then change it casually and it's over." ”
Zhou Zhou shrugged his shoulders, took back his phone and returned it to Ran Xu, "I didn't do it, it was the bee's AI, I originally wanted to draw you, but in the end it became this one." ”
"It's going to be lazy," the girl chuckled, looking at the crowded bee platform, "I'll take a look!"
