Just after Xu Jiayin thought that he had seen all the technical advantages of "Chuxin 2" with his own eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The progress of events in the next few days quickly corrected Xu Jiayin's erroneous thinking.

The "Chuxin 2" generation of mobile phones, and the soft power that many novice users can't pay attention to at a moment, needs to be slowly brewed and revealed with social networking and comparison.

After Valentine's Day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were many romantic posts on the Internet.

Among them, dozens of very hot posts, in the "Valentine's Day", "Love Bar", which are popular professional counterparts, plus "World of Warcraft", "D8" and other top post bars exploded.

Tianya emotional community, cat flutter and other places were also instantly filled with romantic bridges related to the "Chuxin 2" mobile phone.

For example, a post on Baidu D8 has a dry goods link quoted from the first sound video - the landlord who posted the post is himself the author of the video on the first sound video.

In the video, a boy and a girl are in the same room, and the boy took out his newly bought "Chuxin 2" mobile phone and sent a voice command.

"Call the person I love the most."

Then, the girl's phone rang.

The girl was surprised and delighted, but she was still arrogant and coquettish: "You cheat!" You must have set up a voice dial! ”

"Then you ask yourself." The boy confidently spread his phone, his expression quite sure.

The girl nervously took the phone, looking like she wanted to try it but was afraid that the result would not be good. In the end, he gritted his teeth and yelled at Mike on his phone:

"Who is the person I love the most?"

The mobile phone was slightly silent for more than a second, and then a voice from Lin Chiling came: "May I ask who you are?" If you don't tell me who you are, how do I know who the person you love the most is. ”

The girl was shocked.

Nima? Not kidding, right? When did voice dialing assistants become so awesome?

"I ...... I'm xxx. She just wanted to report her name, but she changed her name to her prospective boyfriend in a trembling voice.

"The person you love the most is YYY."

"How?" The girl subconsciously blurted out that her original intention was to let her boyfriend answer.

It's a pity that before her boyfriend could speak, he was preempted by the first secretary again.

"You taught me."

That's it for the video, that's it.

Then in one day, more than 100,000 floors.

In a world where Jia Junpeng-style loneliness is impossible to appear again, the popularity of such posts is definitely explosive.

It is impossible for the "first secret" to be so intelligent every time, and this kind of problem is also the personalized learning of "deep learning" on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a coincidence. Maybe in thousands of user conversations, you can make up such a piece of praise that is so awesome, and then it happens to be uploaded by the up master.

For those failed examples, the up masters will naturally filter them out. After all, the purpose of the up video is to attract attention, not to show ugliness. So invisibly, the various bad training that has been spread on social networks seems to have a much higher success rate than the actual success rate, even to an outrageous degree.

That's enough.

Seeing that others have written 100,000+ posts, there must be a lot of people who want to follow the trend and become popular and earn fans.

The function of "First Secret" has quickly become the most popular fancy game in this long New Year's holiday.

Nationwide, hundreds of thousands of netizens who have never used mobile phone voice dialing assistants have suddenly appeared, and for the first time they tried to train Lin Chiling's voice mobile phone assistant.

At the beginning, it was "What is the best shabu mutton in Beijing?" "Where is the best belly pop in the capital?" This is a basic search question.

Then, of course, the first secretary effortlessly took out the results retrieved in Google's history and answered them one by one.

By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, netizens began to upgrade to "How to get to Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park from me?" "How do I get to Pudong Airport by subway?" "Is there any rice roll and radish cake in Sham Shui Po that are better than Pei Ge's house?"

These questions require the GPS location information of the mobile phone. The most important thing is that the first secretary can understand the problem and take the initiative to turn on the GPS and call the information.

As soon as the user clicks confirm, the thing immediately searches for bus or driving routes.

The most outrageous thing is, "Does Sham Shui Po have rice rolls and radish cakes that are better than Pei Ge's house?" The question was obviously asked in Cantonese, but the first secretary actually understood it - it is said that the person who asked this question was originally sent by the "friend businessman" Ma Huateng's family to make trouble, but he was secretly photographed by the people next to him.

By the eighth and ninth days of junior high school, the question of "I'm tired of listening to girls' generation songs, can I change a combination with a similar style" has also been gradually overcome.

Although, when the first secretary answers these vague questions, the push results given are often not the style that users like, but, at least, she understands these people and knows that the owner is looking for a new singer, and the answer results are indeed some music search results.

Around the Lantern Festival, the form of the ultimate version of training became like this:

"I want Ozawa's number"

"What's the number?"

"Shame on that."

"Oh, it's xxxxx."

"Can you find the resources?"

"It's none of my business."

Answer, there are still many mistakes, and the taste of the push often does not satisfy the owner.

However, no one doubts that "the first secretary can understand human speech accurately".

The cold guests who are on the sidelines may not have been hit by the appearance of the new machine, nor by the cool structure of the retina screen and LED intelligent backlight, the world's thinnest smart machine.

However, after avoiding so many impulses to consume, they were finally hit by a robot assistant who could accurately understand human speech.

"2010: The first year of the cloud-based AI assistant." Such a big headline has exploded the residential areas of major Internet technology enthusiasts.

In this country, there are at least tens of millions of people who pretend to be forced to use the word "artificial intelligence" on their lips.

But if you really understand what artificial intelligence is, it's nice to have a tenth.

With the passing of the Lantern Festival, the clock of history is gradually entering March.

The 1 million units of online pre-sales before the Chinese New Year, and the shipment boom of more than 100,000 units per day across the country during the Valentine's Day and Spring Festival holidays slowly decreased with the start of school. Finally, at the beginning of March, the total order scale of "Chuxin 2" was fixed at 3 million.

Hot-headed consumers in the Chinese market have been consumed by this wave of hype about the concept of "artificial intelligence mobile phones". The remaining high-end and high-quality people are waiting for the market to further inspect the product quality before making a judgment.

The iPhone 4 mobile phone has finally started pre-sale and entered the Chinese market.

Unfortunately, it seems that the timing was not very good.

The irrational local tyrant crowd was washed away by the "Chuxin 2" that went on the market earlier. Only those cents who must use Google for searching, and would rather go over the wall than Google, always insist on waiting for the iphone4 to be bought.

As long as anything has been "polluted" by Chinese scientific researchers, those people will not buy cents.

This is also due to discrimination, there is no way, no one can stop it.

Apple, for its part, is undoubtedly confident in the market competitiveness of the iPhone 4.

From the retina screen, to the super computing and processing power, to the industrial design of the whole machine...... Apple asked itself that the iPhone 4 could be the best in the world.

For the iPhone4's intelligent voice assistant Siri, Apple was also very trusted.

It's a pity that the Chinese market has taken the lead for more than half a month, which has made Apple a little worried.

In the original history, the launch of the iPhone 4 was delayed by nearly half a year, and the use of Siri was even more than half a year late. Now, it can be regarded as Gu Mojie's butterfly effect, which has accelerated the catch-up and R&D speed of competitors in the whole industry, which led to Siri's premature birth.

However, Siri, which came out nearly a year ahead of schedule, is not so optimistic in terms of deep learning and accumulation of "cloud artificial intelligence".

If Siri in the previous life was just launched, the level of understanding was equivalent to that of a six- or seven-year-old child. Then the Siri of this plane may only be equivalent to three or four years old at the beginning of its launch.

……

March 2, Southern Bay Area, Santa Clara, Silicon Valley, Apple Headquarters.

In the spacious and bright CEO's office, a haggard old man with mottled white hair and thin-rimmed glasses with oval lenses holds a mobile phone in each hand, rubbing the test there.

He is none other than the soul of Apple, Stephen Jobs.

The enthusiasm of ticket players on the other side of the ocean for "Chuxin 2" will not directly cause the giants in the American technology industry to worry. In their eyes, no matter how popular the domestic industrial giants of "other countries" are, it is just self-congratulatory; When the "heavenly soldiers" of the United States arrive, they will not be wiped out and will not be in the dust.

However, this time, Hatsune Intelligence is unprecedentedly equipped with a unique artificial intelligence voice assistant on the Android platform, which really makes Jobs nervous.

Jobs personally asked the same question about both phones.

“how-old-are-you？”

“newborn。” (just born)

“are-you-female？” (Are you male or female?) ）

“robot-haven\'t-gender.” (Robots don't have a gender.) ）

Judging from these most basic questions, the first secretary and Siri are almost equal. It's just the level of the first secretary's English answer, which has a bit of a "chinglish" (Chinese-style English) atmosphere.

It's not that there are grammatical errors in the choice of words and sentences, but that the first secretary is not suitable for the ability of Americans to understand without speaking a few words. All the sentences that come out of the first secret speaker are subject-verb-object tightly coherent, and there is a little less playfulness than Siri.

Jobs knew how to test artificial intelligence, and he began to elevate the subjectivity of the problem.

“who’s-the-most-handsome-man？” (Who is the most handsome man in the world.) ）

Now, the answers of the first secretary and Siri began to be very different.

“jay-gu，in-my-opinion。” This is the answer of the first secret.

"Justin-Bieber" is Siri's answer - she thinks the most handsome person in the world is Justin Bieber.

Obviously, Siri's IQ on this issue comes from Google's hot word rankings.

Maybe after a year and a half, after the new little fresh meat comes out and occupies the top spot in the 2010 or 2011 male star hot word list, Siri's answer will change again.

"That's all? It should not be so sought after by Chinese consumers. What exactly is there we haven't seen yet? ”

Jobs pondered for a while, felt a burst of abdominal pain, quickly got up and took out painkillers, poured a glass of warm water, and took it.

He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and although it was not yet terminal, doctors had told him that he had up to two years to live.

Little by little, the painkillers took effect, and Jobs gradually regained his consciousness and his thoughts became deeper again.

"There must be some other information that I missed." Jobs muttered to himself, sat back in his seat, and continued to browse the information gathered by the company's strategic research department on his MacBook.

"Why is it that, judging from the research report, the intelligence level of 'Chuxin 2' in the Chinese market is evaluated so high by consumers?"

Jobs was puzzled, swept the detailed research report from beginning to end, and stayed alone for two hours.

Finally, his eyebrows twitched, as if he had captured a few pieces of data.

That's a survey data in the last appendix of the report.

"Chuxin 2 was first released in the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, why is the language recognition rate feedback significantly lower than that of the mainland market?"

After finding this point, Jobs immediately called up the data.

Then, he found that the "Chuxin 2" mobile phone began to enter the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand markets at the end of February, while other countries in Southeast Asia have not yet entered.

Even in the Wanwan market, which also speaks Chinese, because Hatsune Intelligence has not paved the channels of agents and operators, it has not entered for the time being.

In the Philippines and Indonesia, "Chuxin 2" follows the operator channels that Fei Zhengqing has been laying for two or three years, such as smart telecom; In Thailand, it is a new agent temporarily developed in Hatsune Intelligence this year. These markets have only entered three to five days, and the total sales of new mobile phones are only tens of thousands of units, and the sample size is not large.

Southeast Asian countries are generally not very developed, after the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 98 years, many countries have suffered a short-term economic crash to the level of the 80s. Even now, after 11 years of consolidation and restoration, most countries have returned to the level of national income (in purchasing power parity) of '96.

Before the 98 crisis, the development level of Southeast Asian countries was naturally a little worse than that of China's developed coastal areas, but it was slightly better than that of Chinese mainland.

Today, the consumption level of most countries in Southeast Asia, except for the particularly poor in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Singapore, is equivalent to the level of China's two lakes, Henan, Anhui, and Northeast China provinces in 2000. If you think about the level of domestic income in 2000, millions of people would be willing to spend four or five thousand yuan on a mobile phone, and that's about the same.

Even considering that Indonesia and the Philippines are temporarily twice as high as China's 3G wireless communication penetration rate due to the archipelago topography, according to the analysis of Apple's business intelligence department, the total shipment of "Chuxin 2" in these three Southeast Asian countries in 2010 is about 2 million units.

A market of 400 million people, 10 million high-end machine consumption capacity. A brand with a first-mover advantage, accounting for 2 million, can only be said to be decent.

In the first 5 days of its launch, the "Chuxin 2" sold by the three countries totaled about 50,000 units.

There are factors such as the rich second-generation consumers chasing the trendy hot spots, and the contribution of wealthy businessmen and overseas Chinese, who generally account for more than 10% of the population of these countries, to support domestic products.

In addition to Singapore, Southeast Asian countries generally have about 15% Chinese. However, in the business owner class, Chinese account for 75%, which means that the proportion of Chinese bosses in Southeast Asia is five times higher than that of locals, and they are generally wealthier.

With a sample capacity of 50,000 units, less than 10,000 people may have tested the "first secret" function in just a few days. These consumers' feedback on the quality of the first secret is naturally very wrong.

However, in the absence of more detailed sources of big data, Jobs could only analyze the comments of nearly 10,000 consumers on public channels.

"It seems that Southeast Asian consumers are not very satisfied with the speech recognition rate and Q&A intelligence of Chumi? At least from the limited data available, it is much lower than the Chinese market...... Excluding errors, there is at least a 15 percentage point decline. Is it because the Chinese support domestic products? Or ......"

Jobs analyzed the data at hand and seemed to have caught something.

"Wait? Why is it that the same consumers in Southeast Asian countries, but the Chinese in the Philippines and Indonesia, are so praised by the function of the 'first secret'? It can't be the nationalist factor at work, right? (To be continued.) )
