Chapter 84: Teach to be a man in minutes
After Chen Tianqiao left, he went straight to Gu Mojie's offer and didn't mention it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info such a big business, and it will take a month of negotiation at the earliest.
Gu Mojie is not in a hurry at all, he has already made a two-handed plan, whether to buy a certain point or not, it will have no impact on his content industry layout.
The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each branch.
As early as half a year ago, a small episode happened in a corner that people in the industry never paid attention to.
At that time, Hatsune's artificial intelligence push development was still relatively primitive, and one day, a kid who was banned more than a year ago for making trouble at a certain point was found by someone from Hatsune's department.
That person's name is Zhu Zifeng, and at a certain point he uploaded a novel "Universe XX Flash Student", which is said to have been updated with millions of words in one night. Then the next day he was banned at some point.
In fact, it only took him a few dozen minutes to write the book. For more than half a year, I had spent more than half a year on programming - this person wrote a VB script that automatically stacked text and made the content barely look readable. It is said that if you run it according to this script, you can automatically generate hundreds of millions of words of nonsense.
As soon as this thing came out, of course, it was condemned by countless people who held the view that "this is blasphemous literature". Of course, there are also writers in the circle who believe that this is a useful attempt to further introduce technology into creation.
Of course, both supporters and opponents have the same views on a certain aspect: what this software automatically writes cannot be read at all, its text fluency does not exceed 300 words at most, the description of characters and scenes used to form sentences and routines is okay, and it is purely a fool's dream to write a plot.
No one knows how many years this kind of thing will need to be perfected before it can have real commercial application value.
After Zhu Zifeng was spurned and despised by the online literary world, he no longer messed around. Then, on May Day 2012, one of Hatsune's original mid-level negotiators approached him and asked him to buy all of his code and subsequent attempts.
Hatsune is very face-saving and bids 500,000.
An ordinary programmer, with more than half a year's hard work, is worth 200,000 yuan. The remaining 300,000 yuan still depends on his ideas and personality back then, so Mr. Gu encouraged him.
As soon as Zhu Zifeng heard that the domestic bigwig Hatsune actually knew the goods, he was so excited that he didn't want to, and he thought that he was going to turn over, and he was so arrogant that he wanted to talk about the follow-up technology sharing.
Hatsune's negotiators poured cold water on it: the garbage you did was fundamentally wrong, and you didn't find any improvement in the future, so you just put forward a direction to work on. For something that is not even complete in thought and has the wrong number of paths, giving 500,000 is already very encouraging.
As for the garbage script itself, Hatsune doesn't need a few lines of code to take it away, and it's completely for the person who set up the project to "dissect and analyze the cause of death".
If it doesn't sell, Hatsune doesn't care.
After Zhu Zifeng recognized the reality, he sold it for 500,000 yuan. In good conscience, he did earn, mostly sentimental money.
He only had one side request: he hoped that Hatsune Original would give him a job and join the development team of Hatsune's subsequent writing assistance software, and see for himself how his original fantasy could be realized.
Hatsune simply agreed to this request, provided that he first cleared the copyright of the script and then signed an additional confidentiality agreement with high liquidated damages.
From that day on, Zhu Zifeng finally joined Hatsune, witnessed Hatsune's dream-making process, and also witnessed how unrealistic and inoperable his previous fantasies were.
……
"Writing directly from machines and software? Let robots completely disrupt humans in the field of creation? This kind of pig-like idea is really self-confidence. ”
"E-commerce has been doing it for so many years, and I don't dare to say that it subverts traditional offline commerce, only that it makes up for the hidden pain points of offline business and makes up for the business categories that the offline model can't do. You, a person who has not written two books, dare to say that you can directly let robot writing subvert human creation? ”
"The slogan of Internet finance has just been called for more than a year, and the result? The mutual finance entrepreneurs who shouted the slogan to eliminate traditional finance are dead, and those who survive are progressive reformists. You're a private guy who writes scripts alone, how dare you say that kind of big talk? ”
Just entering the first month of Hatsune Original, Zhu Zifeng was refuted by the product manager above and the senior engineers left and right, and Zhu Zifeng found that the original too young, too simple Tucson was broken.
It's just like Sun Dacang beeping in front of Yuan Datou and saying that he would build 100,000 miles of railway, which is purely a pediatrician who opens up the territory.
The person in charge of this product at Hatsune Original was specially transferred from Yan Lei's Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and he was personally assigned by Gu Mojie, chairman of the board of directors. From the masters, Zhu Zifeng knew what the correct way to open "technology-assisted creation" was.
"Don't consider the possibility of completely replacing writers with robots in 20 years, this is something that human technology will definitely not be able to do in 20 years."
"In 10 years, you should be thinking about extended software. For example, on the basis of the traditional word-making script, combined with the current characteristics of artificial intelligence 'more and more able to read human words', and then a real writer creates a synopsis of the work, and the robot is trained to choose words and sentences on the basis of 'reading', and expands it into a text that is dozens of times the number of words in the outline.
In this process, the goal should be 20 words at the beginning, and as the training feedback of artificial intelligence becomes more and more mature, it can gradually achieve 50 times or even 100 times the number of routine essays - but second only to routine essays, because what machines learn to write through 'learning' must be routine essays. ”
"The first chapter has to be goldfingered, the first three chapters have to be pretended to be slapped in the face, and 50,000 words must be small**. This kind of routine human writers still need to spend time learning and memorizing, while robot writing can be trained by program settings. The most disgusting and difficult things for humans to remember or unwilling to do are easier in front of the machine. When it comes to issues such as the general trend of the story, which is easy for humans to think of, machines are the most difficult to figure out. Therefore, in the first few years of the birth of auxiliary authoring software, it is necessary to make full use of the advantages of machines, and at the same time, humans will train, revise, and finally review and revise the manuscript. ”
Of course, for the sake of "deep learning", the most important thing is to revise the manuscript written by the robot, and then feed it back to the robot to let it "learn" the difference.
Deep learning, in general, is how it learns, constantly feeding back the right or wrong of the previous answers. Just like Google and Facebook trained face recognition back then, they gave countless images to the machine to recognize, and then told the machine that it was wrong. Over time, the machine's fuzzy statistical algorithm "knows" what's wrong.
Zhu Zifeng is just an amateur scripter, and when he made trouble for a certain point, he didn't understand deep learning algorithms at all, and he didn't have such a good industrial vision. His childish idea like Sun Dapao can only become operable if it falls on a giant like Hatsune.
Just as artificial intelligence must first use 'assisted driving' in the process of realizing autonomous driving.
When artificial intelligence conquers chess and Go, it must first use the "centaur mode" of humans and machines to achieve better results than pure machines.
When driving a car, the most difficult thing for the human brain to deal with emergencies is to "keep the vehicle accurately at the distance from the lane markings on both sides". And these things are already very simple in the eyes of the original driver assistance system.
Before Volvo was acquired by Li Shufu, it had already realized that it could automatically respond to sudden pedestrians and maintain lane spacing.
However, what seems relatively easy to do in the eyes of the human brain is rare in the eyes of the machine.
For example, foreseeing possible dangers in the medium and long term.
Or when you see a driver coming in the distance on the opposite side at night, and there are other vehicles on your side with their high beams on, predict whether the other driver will have a direction shake.
Or the obvious things like "I expect the person who just overtook to be angry and merge with each other".
These are the questions that AI-powered driving systems take years to learn.
Humans are good at foresight, machines are good at precision, and they are good at seeing and dismantling.
This is true for autonomous driving, and the same is true for the field of Go that Hatsune AI Research Institute is tackling today.
Human chess players may be afraid that officials can't figure it out, but machine algorithms can do it in minutes. Human masters like to lay out the outside in the early stage, and machines are far from being able to catch up with humans in areas that require a high degree of foresight.
In all the fields of deep learning artificial intelligence, the subdivisions that need "foresight" the most are always the latest to be overcome by robots. And the human beings who persist in those fields are often the last to lose their jobs.
In less than half a year, Zhu Zifeng's spicy chicken script was used as a negative teaching material by Hatsune, and the analysis was thoroughly eaten and wiped clean, and then a new writing aid was reborn from the fire, the beta version.
This thing can already be done when you get the outline of the routine essay, read the outline, and then expand the number of words by about 100 times. In terms of word choice and rhetoric, and have learned to connect with the context to prevent the plot from collapsing.
If you turn on the "irrigation" mode, this writing assistant software can learn from countless characters, scenes, and action descriptions, and re-water everything that can be watered. A 20,000-word outline is no problem to write a 5 million-word novel.
Of course, this thing is still relatively primitive, if you want to use it well, it is still more "pick the outline", if the outline itself is headless and brainless machine recognition is more difficult, or the outline itself is flooding, or the format routine is not obvious, the machine still can't write well.
In the end, the written work also needs to be read manually to solve some obvious logical flaws.
As for typos and misnomerization, they are not very prone to occur, which is the strength of the machine.
This software was put into use immediately after the original internal beta test of Hatsune - at that time, Chen Tianqiao had not yet made up his mind to sell the website, and Hatsune himself did not build a website, so this "use" must not be used on his own people.
Hatsune did not hesitate to test his results on the opponent's website. (To be continued.) ), ++ (This site creates a free error-free and ad-free novel app online!)
