From the intelligent learning machine to the virtual factory to the Work Assistant, these were all products derived from the "intelligent learning program."
Each of these products was extremely powerful, and they were all beginning to change the world.
In other words, when machines could learn autonomously, humans would no longer have anything to do in many fields.
Of course, this did not mean that humans did not need to do anything and could all be laid off.
Machines were not omnipotent. They did not have the imagination and creativity that humans had.
For example, graphic design. This type of work could never be replaced by machines. Even the most advanced artificial intelligence could not conceive pictures that had never been conceived before. But humans could.
For example, if artificial intelligence had this design ability, it could continue to evolve autonomously. But generally, such an architecture could only be designed by the most advanced human geniuses. This also required a strong imagination and logical deduction ability.
It was difficult for artificial intelligence to transcend itself. One reason was that it was limited by the underlying hardware. Another was that "humans could not fly with their heads in their hands." It was just like how a 32-bit system could not be compatible with a 64-bit system. A more powerful architecture needed to be designed and implemented by humans.
This was also why Chen Jin said that liberal arts would be more popular in the future. Except for a few fields, engineering jobs had become extremely simple. The requirements for creativity and imagination had increased. The time for students in liberal arts and the arts to show off their abilities was coming soon.
After all, outstanding engineering men could be mass-produced. The value of "artists" who could not be mass-produced would naturally increase.
…
Mid-December.
After nearly a year of research and development, another blockbuster product from Xing Hai Technologies was basically finalized.
It was also a product that used many cutting-edge technologies. It was a must-have for every family and was about to change the world.
But what was it?
A robot.
It was different from the Wa-wah that was focused on the floor. It was focused on the floor.
What was different about it? Chen Jin brought a prototype home and tested it himself.
…
Court of Happiness.
When she got home after work, He Li found a large cardboard box in the living room. Next to it was a pile of foam and plastic film. The living room was very messy.
She shook her head. "The living room was so clean. Why didn't they throw it at the door?"
He Li put her work bag on the cabinet next to her and bent down to clean up.
With one glance, he saw Chen Jin walk out of the second bedroom. Then, a white mechanical device followed him out in a charmingly naive manner and entered the second bedroom opposite.
He Li's eyes lit up. She walked over and looked at Chen Jin in the room. "Son, what is this thing?"
Looking at the robot again, his eyes flashed with curiosity, and he thought to himself, "Round head, silly look, so cute."
He really wanted to walk over and touch it.
"This is my company's new product, the Bang Bang Robot. You can call it Xiao Bang. I'm currently using it to scan the house."
Bang Bang robot?
Little stick?
He Hi blinked, her curiosity growing.
Five minutes later.
The entire indoor environment was scanned.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, He Li couldn't help but ask a series of questions excitedly.
"Son, did your company come up with a new product again?"
"What can this robot called Bang Bang do? Is it more powerful than Wa-wah?"
"Haha, my son is too awesome. He's made another great product, hahaha."
He Li was beaming with joy, her face full of pride. Her son was making her proud as a mother. This Bang Bang robot gave her something to brag about and enjoy the envy of others.
Hahahaha.
She laughed in her heart.
Chen Jin broke out in a cold sweat.
He had no choice but to explain, "Mom, don't be too happy. I'm actually not very confident. This robot has the same functions as Wa-wah 2.0, but its market performance may not be as good as Wa-wah 2.0."
He Li was puzzled. "Since it has the same functions as Wa-wah, how can it perform poorly in the market? As long as the price is right, every household will buy at least one. "
Chen Jin still shook his head. "Even if it can sell 10 million units, I'll still feel that this product is very successful."
"That's impossible! Son, tell me what this robot can do. I'll help you evaluate how many units you can sell. "
He Li crossed her arms and showed a professional expression. Although she majored in accounting, it did not mean that she had no foresight. She did not know the specific functions of the Bang Bang robot, but she felt that it could be sold for more than 10 million just from its cute appearance.
"Alright, I'll let Bang Bang demonstrate it for you."
Chen Jin nodded and demonstrated the functions one by one in front of his mother.
"Bang Bang, go get two glasses of water."
"Yes, Master."
Not long after, Bang Bang, who was holding a tray, poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser.
He Li took the glass, took a sip of water, and nodded. "It can serve tea and water. That's very good."
"Bang Bang, go wipe the dining table."
"Yes, Master."
She picked up a piece of rag and wiped the dining table.
He Li's eyes lit up. "It can even help to wipe the table. That's even better."
Apart from that, Bang Bang could help to bring any item that weighed less than 20 kilograms to the person who needed it. Of course, the largest size should not exceed one meter. It could not be placed too close to the ground or too high up. Bang Bang was only 1.6 meters tall. Its fingers were not as nimble as humans. There were many tasks that it could not do.
For example, hanging clothes. Bang Bang could not do that.
It could not cook either. It could not control the temperature changes in the pot.
It could help a housewife wash the dishes. But it had to wear waterproof gloves.
It could not wash or cut vegetables. One reason was that Bang Bang could not control knives. Another reason was that a robot could not control knives. This would cause worry and fear in people.
To sum up, the tasks that Bang Bang robot could do were: serve tea and water, wipe the table and furniture, carry items that weighed less than 20 kilograms, wash the dishes, turn on the lights, turn on the TV (Bang Bang's body had a TV remote control function), and start the washing machine.
Except for washing, cutting, and cooking.
Bang Bang robot could do 80% of the household chores.
Bang!
He Li slapped her thigh. "50 million units. Son, Mom guarantees that it can sell at least 50 million units! I guarantee that it will not be less than this number! "
At that moment, Dad Chen Gang came home from work.
After listening to the introduction of the Bang Bang robot's functions, he pondered for a while and pointed out a fatal flaw of this product.
"To be honest, this robot is not inferior to the Wa-wah robot at all. It can be said that its functions are more powerful. However, the market does not need it because it cannot replace humans. Or rather, humans do not need it to replace them. The things that it can do are not too troublesome. Humans basically know how to do them. Unless this robot can cook, it will be very difficult to sell more than 10 million units."
"Chen! Gang! "He Li's expression was ugly. She reached out and pinched him.
"Dad, you are absolutely right."
Chen Jin nodded in agreement. "Our neighboring country, Ri Nation, has long produced similar household robots. They can serve tea and do many other chores. However, they have not been able to be popularized. The reason is that there is no need to buy an expensive robot for some simple household chores. We humans have to do something. A household robot with such overlapping functions is completely redundant. It is not even as practical as the Wa-wah robot.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the sales volume of the Bang Bang robot will not be very optimistic.
However, in order to reverse this situation, we have added three killer functions to the Bang Bang robot. The addition of these three functions should have an obvious effect on the sales volume. "
Oh?
Chen Gang's interest was instantly piqued. He asked, "Tell me, what are the three functions?"
