Chapter 180: Early Access
After talking about pharmaceutical matters, Xiao V brought the progress of VR company: "The final version of the intelligent software has been completed and is currently in the testing stage. ”
"Give me a copy too." Meng Qian said that the intelligent software will be released next month, when customers who buy the VR generation luxury version will be able to experience it in advance.
"Download to your computer?" Xiao V asked, Meng Qian has a laptop with a Windows system here, which is just right to test the software.
"Of course." Meng Qian nodded and climbed up: "Rachel, Lisa, do you want to try a new artificial intelligence?" ”
"Looking forward to it." Rachel was intrigued.
"Here you go." Meng Qian handed her the tablet, which was restarting because it had installed intelligence, and when Windows was turned on, it would also start.
"Master, what about mine?" Alyssa sat on the ground and shook him.
"There's only one computer." Meng Qian looked at her, "Why don't I give you another fun one?" ”
"You want to be able to eat." She looked up in anticipation.
The rhythm is out of order again......
Xiao V has no camera on board, only voice: "Support touch, voice control, voice control is currently only available in English, other languages are being added." ”
Meng Qian enjoyed Alyssa's services while communicating with them about software technology.
The new AI has gained administrative access to the computer, which does not require much computer performance, but the anthropomorphism is well done, based on the company's database, and performs well.
Rachel talks to it about a lot of topics, and this guy is able to improvise, and each time he answers in a different way, in a different style, and can be adjusted according to the user's preferences.
"What else can you do?" Rachel asked it.
"Help you with anything you don't want to do with your hands." Intelligence responded, adding, based on Rachel's usage habits, "I'm amazing, right?" ”
"It's so cute." Rachel smiled, obviously these features alone were enough to capture the hearts of a lot of people.
What's more, AI has real materials. It can help you navigate the Internet, collect and recommend user preferences in a certain area, with a very high degree of accuracy; It can also assist in some daily tasks, such as document processing, picture beautification, etc. It basically covers the use of ordinary people.
Seeing Rachel's expression, she knew she liked it, but Meng Qian still asked, "How do you feel?" ”
"Indescribable!" Rachel looked up with a look of surprise: "It's like communicating with a smart kid and loving it." ”
"Understood." Meng Qian received a good review - Rachel is from the perspective of ordinary female users. The convenience and likability brought by AI seem to have a female market as well.
He's thinking about setting up an investment in the software sector.
This is also a question that the company's top management and product department are considering, and with reference to the excellent ability of AI to perform in the test, this unprecedented intelligent interactive experience will definitely be welcomed.
From the perspective of business management, popular products need to have more users and traffic to have value, and AI is limited to VR glasses. The horizon is not broad enough.
……
"The most important thing is to evaluate it based on user feedback after the product is released." Yuan Yubo, who presided over the company's meeting, said on the platform that he had warmed up enough.
"When is it expected to be released?" Wang Manwen asked.
"Next Wednesday." Yuan Yubo said that it was the beginning of June, the day that attracted much attention.
"All aspects of the software have been dealt with, right?" She asked again, her current identity is to perform official duties in place of Meng Qian, and she needs to understand everything.
Yuan Yubo is very sure: "There is no problem. The use of AI is based on cloud services, even if there are bugs. We are also able to deal with it very quickly. ”
"Do what is on the agenda." Wang Manwen agreed to the resolution.
On the VR company's official website, the countdown is suspended again.
People's eyes are also drawn to it. It's been a while since the last press conference, but because of the company's marketing strategy, the focus on VR and intelligence has been good.
Will this amazing experience be possible again this time?
With the end of the countdown, the VR company finally stopped hanging its appetite and released the download link of the software, which is not large. 1.5 G, the core intelligence has been repeatedly streamlined, the functions tend to be ordinary user experience, and the real intelligent computing has been weakened a lot.
But the vast majority of users. I don't need it, and I don't feel it.
The fastest users were the first to download the installation package, and after installation, they were prompted to restart to complete the installation...... Again. After entering the desktop, the intelligence is officially stationed.
As one of the 300,000 users, Jay stared at the screen with anticipation, he has prepared the camera and microphone, and he wants to be the first person in the circle of friends to experience it!
"Welcome, please name me." The voice of AI came from the stereo.
"Lena." Jay said that Lina's English was displayed on the dialog, followed by an AI voice: "Lina, a simple and lively name, I like it." ”
"Great!" Jay noticed that the neutral voice just now had become a female voice!
He suppressed his excitement and told himself that it was intelligence and that there was nothing strange about it...... Lena said, "Next, you can define my intelligence, appearance, personality. ”
"How smart?" Jay wondered.
"I detected that your computer is a high-performance computer that has a better intelligent experience. Of course, if you want better, you can use a dedicated cloud service, but it will take up your bandwidth. ”
"Use cloud services." Jay intends to experience a stronger AI.
"Your network is smooth and improves completion. You can also download special modules to refine and personalize my ......," said Lina, showing off the boxes.
"Which one do you like?" Lena asked.
"More." Jay subconsciously touched the mouse, but the interface opened in advance.
Lina automatically opened a browser supported by Google and logged in to the official website of the VR company: "I will log in to the official website instead of you, there are many data modules in it. ”
"Cool!" Jay was very satisfied, and these performances alone already made him unable to find fault. Smarter than he expected, and more comprehensive.
He felt like he could spend a week on how to customize Lena's personality and appearance.
He wants to build his own AI butler.
……
What happened to Jay is just a microcosm of countless users. The performance of the AI did not disappoint the user, it is smart, changeable, and versatile, and the user can do most of the work with a real mouth, completely freeing up his hands.
The first batch of users also gave feedback on the forum.
Those who discuss how to use it, those who share their solutions, and those who simply praise it...... Ubiquitous; Of course, there are some suggestions, as the English version is only available, which can make it difficult for non-English speaking people to communicate.
But this flaw has brought a bright spot!
The AI actually enabled the translation service and used the sound output function of other software to complete the communication!
While the quality of the translations provided by Google is not guaranteed, the way it solves problems is a huge step forward and gives people a taste of what "intelligence" is.
This feature was deliberately promoted by VR companies and immediately came into focus.
Later, non-English-speaking users provided evidence, using Spanish, French or Chinese, all gave feedback - there was even a post on the forum that said: "I also use AI translation and help to communicate with everyone on this platform." ”
The following respondent commented: "The English grammar is basically correct, it is an excellent feature, and I am looking forward to the release of more civilian intelligent software by VR companies!" ”
"We all want to experience" has become the urgent voice of users who have not bought the product.
Because only 300,000 users can use the early version, while there are more than 3 billion Internet users in the world.
This craze has also affected people who don't pay attention to the VR field - because of Google's friendly help, there are many experience videos on YouTube, and lucky users show off all kinds of fancy plays, some focus on making AI their ideal assistant or YY goddess; There are also those who pay attention to their working ability and download many modules to let AI show magical ...... All kinds of characteristics are constantly being explored.
Users who have not experienced it can only salivate watching videos to try it, which leads to a relatively high number of clicks on anyone who is stained with the word "AI butler"; According to the statistics of YouTube's backend, the search for keywords such as AI butler has continued to increase recently, and the number of playbacks has increased.
These crazes are all being fed back to VR companies.
Meng Qian and the company's senior management are considering whether to set up a department or a separate subsidiary.
This depends on the environment, outlook and return on investment.
If you want to define the small v as the third generation, the current AI can only be regarded as the second generation. Xiaov is the core platform based on the AI laboratory, and the basic skeleton is complete, but the volume is also huge, and it has exceeded 50G. And there are minicomputers and cloud networks to provide it with computing needs.
Xiao V, who is being used as a reference object, is currently doing data collation work on user evaluations, which can browse tens of thousands of posts at a time, extract the main points, and judge the good or bad.
It is thousands of times more efficient than a real person, and if a real person browses and filters one by one, I'm afraid it won't be able to handle this block of information in ten days and a half months.
In the era of information explosion, the world generates a huge amount of information every day, how to extract and obtain the most critical information?
To some extent, the small V represents the future trend of software.
It has now obtained results: "More than 95% of users have a high opinion of the software, 3.5% are mainly dissatisfied with the pure English version, 1.4% are dissatisfied with the character material and character module, and the rest are malicious content, colloquially known as 'trolls'." ”
That's right, Xiao V has mastered Chinese, and it can be predicted that AI butlers will also have Chinese in the future.
"Other languages are being improved." Wang Manwen looked at Meng Qian on the screen, "As for the module, can it be outsourced?" ”
Meng Qian happens to have a goal: "If it's a character module, it can be outsourced to a holographic entertainment company." ”
"Do you need me over or you?" Wang Manwen asked, she was in San Francisco, and Meng Qian was in Los Angeles.
"I'm in charge." Meng Qian said. (To be continued.) )
