介绍


Were you frightened after the movie? Are you now scared of an impending doomsday initiated by A.I? Must we now cut back on all technological innovation so that this will never happen? If you felt this way after watching the movie, then, congratulations sheeple, you have fallen again for a crass sensationalist mumbo jumbo that only wanted your attention – a badly construed vision of what the future might hold without elaborating the parts it mentions, backed up with snippets of some of our favorite science fiction movies to make it seem more realistic and persuasive. There are also unsubtle and somewhat insensitive whims thrown in, such as the unneeded reference to both North Korea, Middle East, and the Islamic states.


你在看完这可视频后有点害怕么?你现在会对未来A.I.统治世界担心么?那么我们应该现在尽力阻止这一切发生的可能行么?如果你这么认为的话,那么醒醒吧,仔细想想后再做决定;不要被一堆组在一起但没有意义的主意束缚。这个视频最多是一个为了让你感觉到害怕的哗众取宠的短片;既没有证据,也没有主题,只不过是把一些最出名的科幻思想和科幻片段放在一起的一锅粥。更不要说一些对话题一带而过的随意性。



Ranting aside, let’s actually have a look at some of the “ideas” that this short clip sets forth. The first few days of the story goes as we’d expect, when mankind finally develops an AI that is capable of human-like processing of information, and subsequently is able to analysis all the information that is available to them on Earth The A.I. then self-adapts into a system that covers the world, and takes over control for man in all major areas, and humans now fulfil the previous role of the computer in bland administrative tasks. The machine is also subsequently able to take care of mankind itself, eventually assimilating the whole of humanity through the realization of singularity. Finally the A.I, on the seventh day, having seen its work done and thought that it was good, disappeared too as a triumphant god - another forced cliché that contributed to nothing but the sensationalism.


说一说完了,那么来看看这视频里到底有没有该学习的东西。A.I.的发展的过程在前几天是我们都熟悉的 – 一开始人类设计出来了一个能够向人一样思想的A.I.,不过他的速度远远超过人类,在短时间内就可以把整个宇宙的全部历史都分析一遍。然后这个A.I.会自我修改,直至完美,并且能够控制全世界以及人类。而人会像现在的计算机一样,只能够进行一些行政类的工作。最终,技术奇异将会发生,人类会失去他们的肉体,永远的在电脑空间里活下去。而那时的A.I.会陈词滥调的像一个凯旋的上帝一样,在第七天从人类的生活中消失。



Perhaps the only unusual idea in the whole video was that the A.I. would eventually allow for the coming of singularity, rather than the destruction of humanity, such as envisaged in movies like The Terminator series. But this seems unlikely unless humanity is able to imbue A.I. with the qualities of a pseudo-God, which intentionally is nigh impossible, as mankind does not even fully understand what this might entail. Moreover, if we view it as pure fantasy, then this discussion becomes pointless, since anything goes.


整个视频当中唯一一个吸引眼球的观念就是A.I.会充当一个仁慈的上帝的角色,而不像终结者当中那样充当人类的毁灭者。不过这也最多是一个偶然,因为人类不可能带着这个目标去设计这个A.I.的,更何况人类也永远不会知道“神”或者“上帝”究竟是一个什么样的东西。如果当做一个偶然、一个幻想去看的话,那么这片子也没有什么意义了,因为在幻想世界中什么事都可以发生。



Thus, the lesson to take away from here is that do not take in media content passively, think for yourself and see whether the message they send in there has any threads of truth.


所以说,小编写关于这个视频主要是为了给大家分享一下这种现在常见的附有“煽情主意”的小视频,以及 43 26830 43 11649 0 0 2752 0 0:00:09 0:00:04 0:00:05 2752我们为什么应该对它们的谨慎。每次看完媒体后,先退一步想想它说的有没有道理,再下结论。


话题

What role do you think A.I. will play in the future. Is it to assist or to rule over man?

你认为A.I.在未来会充当一个什么样的角色?A.I.会成为人们的工具还是领主?

The more I've travelled, the more lost I've become. Having spent more than half of my life studying abroad, it was time to take some time off and come back to "home". So here I am, part pensive, part bored, always yearning for something new. Any conversation is welcomed; I will reply as often as I can.
