After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 95: More advanced tools are definitely not meant to replace humans!
"@Everyone, tonight, at a city specialty restaurant, it's my treat. Please be careful not to call Mr. Hao."

"Why, Manager Cao?" Both of them had been working on the project with Hao Cheng from the very beginning. She was very happy to see Cao Song's promotion, which was definitely better than parachuting in a leader.

As for herself, firstly, she does not have the ability, and secondly, her aspirations are not high. What she has always pursued is a stable job.

Now, working here is not only stable, but the salary including various benefits is at least 50% higher than before, and it may even double in the past two months.

Moreover, she doesn't have to work overtime, has more time to spend with her children, and lives close to home, so she is very satisfied with this.

"Nonsense, if you call Brother Cheng, it won't be my turn to treat you." Last time, it was agreed that he would treat you, but in the end, Hao Cheng paid the bill. Now, with two such important tasks in his hands, he must also show some appreciation.

"Haha!" There was a sudden burst of joyful voices in the group.

……

Cao Song is actually an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have approached Han Zijie from the beginning to think about improving his academic qualifications in order to gain greater competitive opportunities in the company.

But now it seems that it is no longer necessary. It is not because of the almost certain promotion, but because the concept implemented by Baiju Technology is really different from the previous cognition.

Think about it carefully, even if I really take the postgraduate entrance examination and work on a project with my supervisor for two years, how will it help my work at Baiju Technology?

If you have that much time, you might as well think more about how to make better use of the sand.

This was all Cao Song was thinking about at the moment. He didn't even think about studying the algorithm and logic behind Xiaosha - Hao Cheng had never mentioned anything related, which meant that this thing was absolutely confidential.

But other than that he can do everything else very well.

"Zijie, are you keeping an eye on the data?" Cao Song came to Han Zijie and asked.

"Manager Cao," Han Zijie turned his head and asked hurriedly, "What can I do for you?"

Seeing Han Zijie calling him in such a pretentious manner, Cao Song went up and kicked him: "Get lost, stop it, I'll give you a gift, do you want it? If you want it, treat me to a meal for a month!"

"You want..." Han Zijie wanted to say that you were dreaming, but he saw Cao Song pointing his finger upwards: "You just want to exploit me. Fine, I admit it!"

Han Zijie's work in the company is different from Cao Song's. He is not a developer but a data manager.

Theoretically, this position would be a department or even a BG division in any large company, rather than just one person.

But at this moment he was a little confused. His previous work experience seemed to be of no use here - Xiaosha was there to deal with all kinds of data problems, which was what it was best at. He was like a spare tire, and a spare tire that would never be used.

Of course he also wanted a promotion and a raise, especially after Cao Song got the opportunity and proved that the company's employment principle was to promote internally, he became more interested.

But under the current circumstances, there is no need for such a department here, and even he is redundant.

Seeing Cao Song's confident and well-thought-out look, and even wanting to extort a month's food from him, Han Zijie was delighted - he had a way!
The two men came to the reception room, and Cao Song smiled and said, "Okay, you are so stingy. Just listen to me. I promise that you will be willing to treat me to a meal for a year."

"Just because you think of me when you have something to do, I will treat you to a meal for this year."

Han Zijie nodded. He knew that in life, there were not many people who could really help you. They were all noble people. He also put away his joking and playful ways and became serious in an instant. This was different from the good relationship in private.

"You've seen how strong Xiaosha is. How do you feel about competing with Xiaosha for a job?" Cao Song asked first.

"I'm a spare tire." Han Zijie said directly. Since coming here, his previously unparalleled value has not been reflected at all, and his contribution to the company is almost zero.

"So what do you think are the conditions for competing with Xiaosha for a job?"

Cao Song knew that Han Zijie was actually smart, otherwise he was not from his department, and Hao Cheng was still thinking about him and asked him to try to contact him. He must have some outstanding qualities. Some people who were closer to him in his department had not been contacted yet.

"Better than Xiaosha?" Han Zijie's mind was trapped in a corner. "What are you thinking?" Cao Song was speechless: "You still want to surpass Xiaosha, how? Install a hard drive in your brain, and then connect it to the Internet, oh, and install a CPU, after all, the computing power of the human brain is far behind that of the CPU."

"What should we do?" Han Zijie could see that in Cao Song's eyes, he was almost hopeless, but he had no idea in his mind.

"Throw away your previous data-related knowledge from your mind and don't limit yourself to it," Cao Song said.
“Start from the company’s needs and see what you can do. Let me remind you that in terms of data, the company urgently needs content related to employment and entrepreneurship, but not financial statements.

"Xiaosha is very capable, but his ability has its limits. As human beings, can we push ourselves up a little and do more work?
"Why do you want to be better than Xiaosha? If you and Xiaosha are both better than it alone, isn't that an advantage? Why do you have to take Xiaosha's job? Isn't it good to work with Xiaosha?

“You can do very little work, but you can gain a lot. Most of the basic work is done by Xiaosha, but as long as you raise the level a little bit, or transform the data from the perspective of AI into human concepts, then the results will be yours. No matter how strong Xiaosha is, he is just a tool and will not steal the credit from you!
"In other words, Xiaosha is a tool and a foundation for everyone. If your job is replaced by someone else one day, it is definitely not because of Xiaosha. It is because [you plus Xiaosha] cannot compare to [others plus Xiaosha]. In the final analysis, you are still not as good as others.

“The data department will definitely need a manager in the future. The reason I told you so much is because I hope that person is you, not someone parachuted in. Of course, it still depends on you. You have to show your achievements to convince Mr. Hao.

"At least I can be sure that he thinks highly of you. As for whether you can seize the opportunity, that depends on this time."

Cao Song talked like a machine gun for several minutes, telling Han Zijie almost all his thoughts on how to use AI and how to do his work based on AI.

"Finally, let me remind you that converting data into information is the information that Mr. Hao has always talked about."

Cao Song got up and left, leaving Han Zijie there in deep thought: "Standing on Xiaosha's shoulders, surpassing Xiaosha! I am indeed narrow-minded!"

Han Zijie thought about it and found it very strange. He had been thinking about how to compete with Xiaosha before, so how could he compete with this thing!
If we must talk about competition, wouldn't it be better to get its results yourself, and then fill in the gaps on this basis, or even extend and diverge, or transform the perspective into a human being?
If Xiaosha were a person, competing with me for a position, taking his achievements, modifying and upgrading them to make them my own, that would definitely not work.

But Xiaosha is not a human being, it is just a tool. There is no legal or moral issue in doing this. It was trained to do this.

Sometimes, people are trapped by past thinking and get stuck in a dead end.

Once you get out of there, your mind instantly becomes clear.

That afternoon, Han Zijie came up with a very important result.

"That's right!" Cao Song was very satisfied. Han Zijie was indeed capable and had been stuck in a rut before. "Give it to Mr. Hao."

"Brother Song, the ideas are all yours. I just added some data. I will tell President Hao about these." Han Zijie said.

The core conclusion of today's report is still what Cao Song said to himself in the reception room. Han Zijie just happened to summarize the complete data support from the shared information received by Xiaosha in the past few days, and finally formed this "Industry Survey Report on AI Light Entrepreneurship and Related Logic".

"It's not important. This thing is very important for Xiaosha's next decision. Go ahead."

Cao Song said that he even felt that it was an understatement. This would not only affect Xiaosha's future direction and decision-making, but would also have a certain impact on the economy and decision-making of the entire country.

……

"I almost forgot about you!" Hao Cheng said this as soon as Han Zijie came in. Of course, this was a joke. He saw him at lunch. "Did Cao Song give you some advice?"

"Ah?" Han Zijie was stunned for a moment. Does Mr. Hao have the ability to see and hear from afar?

"What? Sit down." Hao Cheng motioned for Han Zijie to sit down:

"Cao Song is a man with a strong ability to adapt. When Xiaosha showed signs of being angry, his mindset changed instantly. Of course, it's possible that what I saw was just a moment, and it's also possible that he spent the whole night thinking about this problem systematically when he got home.

"But the time is indeed short. He is already thinking about how people should work in the AI era. And you are a little bit stubborn. Are you still thinking about how to compete with AI for jobs all day? You must have put a lot of thought into it, right? Look at the dark circles under your eyes!"

Hao Cheng said as he looked at the relevant reports: "Society is developing, and tools are also improving. Before computers, people used abacus, paper and pen, and even tied knots of straw ropes to count.

"Later, computers were invented. We used them to calculate ballistic missiles, aerodynamics, and 3D software to design fighter models. Does anyone regard the J20 as the result of computers? It is still the result of human beings!
"The same is true for AI. It has only one purpose - to be a more advanced tool, and it is not meant to replace humans."
