Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 383 Another Continuation, the Fall of a Genius?
The following day, December officially began.

As winter deepens, the online buzz sparked by the finale of "Ignite Me, Warm You" has not subsided immediately, but continues to surge with astonishing popularity.

On major social media platforms, the "Mingyun Xunhuan" CP fans have become the most active group.

They flooded the official Weibo account of "Ignite Me, Warm You" and the comment sections of Jiang Qing and Zhang Jingyi's personal accounts, enthusiastically making their presence felt.

"A second performance! Please! The King and Princess must perform a second time!"

"Director, look at the kids! Let's make another one with the original cast! Modern or ancient, it doesn't matter!"

"The chemistry between Jiang Shen and Princess on screen together is amazing! Their chemistry is unparalleled in the Chinese entertainment industry! It would be a shame if they weren't paired together again! It would be such a waste!"

"I'm begging Dr. Jiang and the princess to collaborate again! Please, please!"

"I'd be willing to never date in my life in exchange for them getting together just once!"

"Huh? The ladies upstairs are ruthless!"

……

The CP supertopic was bustling with activity, with all sorts of fan-made videos, fan art, and plot interpretations emerging one after another, as if the series hadn't ended, but was just continuing in a different way.

Some people even started a topic called "10,000 people petition for Jiang Qing and Zhang Jingyi to star in a second drama", which quickly gathered a large number of signatures from drama fans.

However, this lively scene has aroused dissatisfaction among other CP (couple) fan groups.

Fans of the "Jiang Zhou Yu Huo" couple were the first to speak out.

"Some people have gone too far! The show's already over and they're still trying to intimidate the main character? Can't they stand on their own two feet?"

Fans of the "Yi Jian Qing Xin" couple have also joined the fray.

"Exactly! Dr. Jiang's 'The Beginning' was broadcast much better, so why should he have to team up with Zhang Jingyi again? I'm taking Dr. Jiang away, no thanks!"

Fans who oppose the "anti-CP" pairing are relatively more rational.

“Every couple is unique. Thank you Li Xun and Zhu Yun for bringing us such a wonderful story. We also look forward to Dr. Jiang bringing us more characters like Xiao Heyun.”

More and more dissenting opinions are appearing in the discussion.

Even Jiang Qing's listeners joined in.

Although they get really into watching the show, they quickly return to their true selves as fans of their careers once the series ends.

"Thank you for your cooperation, but we refuse to be tied to you! Dr. Jiang is focused on his career!"

"Actor Jiang Qing has completed her mission as Li Xun, and we look forward to her next role!"

"I'm taking Dr. Jiang away. I'm not interested unless it's officially announced. Please focus on the work itself, thank you."

"Please, stop jinxing him! Mr. Jiang is the boss of Wuwen Technology. Acting occasionally is just a hobby. Don't treat him like a professional actor and expect him to do it every day!"

"Exactly! The founder of a tech company worth tens of billions is putting on a show for you guys, and he's so handsome and acts so well. Just be happy about it. Don't do this fan culture thing, don't annoy Dr. Jiang, or we'll all lose something to watch! And just a reminder, he's Jiang Qing from Wuwen Technology!"

"The lady upstairs is right, I agree!"

……

The debate between fans inevitably spread, with each side arguing endlessly under trending search terms and in the comment sections of popular Weibo posts, creating a chaotic scene.

Compared to the brilliant ending of "Ignite Me, Warm You", "Qingqing Daily" which followed closely behind did not manage to surpass it, but its performance was still impressive.

Despite the male lead Bai Jingting's relationship being exposed on the second day of its premiere, and the later plot being criticized by many viewers as "starting strong but ending weak," "character collapse," and "forced power struggles and childishness," it is still one of the best-performing dramas on the iQiyi platform this year, thanks to the good reputation it had built up in the early stages and its unique light and cheerful style.

Data shows that "Qingqing Daily Life" was the fastest drama to break 10,000 views on iQiyi this year, and it also secured a place in the top three of the platform's annual popularity rankings without any suspense.

Although Bai Jingting lost some of his CP fans after his relationship was exposed, his solid acting skills and good audience appeal have allowed him to maintain considerable popularity.

And without a doubt, the biggest beneficiary of this drama is Tian Xiwei, who plays the female lead Li Wei.

With her lively and adorable performance, she has deeply impressed audiences with her sweet image, earning her the titles of "the pinnacle of sweetness" and "a little sun in winter." Her Weibo followers have skyrocketed, her popularity has soared, and her commercial value has also increased, leading to numerous new endorsements.

The key point is that during the promotion period, her poised and proactive demeanor garnered much praise, and her popularity skyrocketed after the entire series aired, which was astonishing.

Perhaps for this reason, she was suppressed by her rivals.

When "Qingqing's Daily Life" was halfway through its run, a batch of so-called "dirt" about Tian Xiwei's early remarks suddenly appeared online, attempting to smear her.

However, these smear campaigns were quickly extinguished as soon as they began to escalate.

Negative topics were restricted in their reach, while clarification posts were widely pushed out, quickly guiding public opinion in a positive direction.

The whole process was fast, accurate, and steady, clearly indicating that there was a powerful force controlling everything behind the scenes.

Ultimately, Tian Xiwei was not negatively affected. Instead, she gained sympathy and goodwill from the public due to her timely clarification, which further improved her reputation.

Those in the know understand without saying that Jiang Qing's protection was undoubtedly behind this.

This is a move that most people couldn't do.

Fans online are discussing this extensively.

"Xiaotian really turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise. Doesn't the haters feel embarrassed?"

"This shows that my sister has no flaws whatsoever; she's completely innocent!"

"After learning more about her, I love her even more! She really is a Sichuan and Chongqing hot pepper, fiercely so! I love her!"

"The company is really efficient; they responded very quickly."

"Her lousy company doesn't have that kind of power... Well, you know, that person made a move."

"Stop speculating! Focus on your beauty's career advancement!"

……

While the entertainment industry was still buzzing with excitement over the two hit dramas, the entire tech world, and even the world at large, was captivated by another earth-shattering event.

Yesterday, while the finale of "Ignite Me, Warm You" sparked widespread online discussion, OpenAI officially released its new generative chatbot program, ChatGPT 3.5.

The sudden emergence of this product was like a bomb dropped into the deep sea, creating a huge wave in the global technology industry and being widely hailed as an important milestone in the field of artificial intelligence.

Unlike any previous chat application, ChatGPT 3.5 demonstrates an amazing ability to learn and understand human language.

It no longer simply replies based on keywords, but is able to truly understand the context of the conversation and engage in deep interaction. Its fluency and logic often give people the illusion that they are talking to a real human being.

Its capabilities are astonishing.

They can write emails, video scripts, copy, translations, code, and even academic papers comparable to those of college graduates.

It can also be used for artistic creation such as poetry writing and story writing. Its comprehensive functions and powerful performance far exceed outside imagination.

The core technology behind it is the Transformer neural network architecture, especially the GPT-3.5 version, which is designed to process sequential data and has unparalleled language understanding and text generation capabilities.

By connecting to and learning from a massive corpus of real human conversations, it becomes knowledgeable and capable of answering questions from almost any field.

However, Elon Musk, one of the co-founders of OpenAI and CEO of Tesla, spoke with a cautionary tone when discussing ChatGPT in a public interview.

He publicly called for stronger regulation of artificial intelligence, emphasizing that while the rise of ChatGPT demonstrates the remarkable progress of AI, it also brings new security challenges.

Musk argues that, like technologies such as airplanes, cars, and pharmaceuticals that may pose risks to the public, artificial intelligence must also be subject to strict regulation.

Although this may limit the speed of AI development to some extent, he firmly believes that it is a necessary step to ensure technological security and prevent potential social risks.

Regardless of future regulatory developments, the release of ChatGPT 3.5 has demonstrated to the world the enormous lead the United States has achieved in the field of artificial intelligence. Global technology professionals, academics, and company executives have mixed feelings; beyond amazement and excitement, there is a deep sense of anxiety, or perhaps even a feeling of powerlessness.

The difference is too big!
This generational lead is despair-inducing.

Many industry insiders pessimistically believe that other countries will likely have little chance in the crucial future race of generative AI, and that this field may be completely monopolized by American giants in the future.

Initially, the discussion was mainly focused on the tech industry, filled with technical jargon and industry analysis.

But just a week later, the shock and discussion surrounding ChatGPT inevitably spread, becoming a global hot topic.

Major domestic media outlets also followed up with reports.

"Breaking News! The US releases ChatGPT 3.5, ushering in a new era of AI-powered dialogue!"

"A revolutionary product? How many human jobs will ChatGPT replace?"

"How big is the gap between us and top AI? Experts provide in-depth analysis of the ChatGPT phenomenon."

"Musk calls for AI regulation; is the technological singularity near?"

……

Related news reports, expert interpretations, and in-depth analysis articles have emerged in large numbers, occupying the headlines of the technology channels of major portal websites.

In this global AI storm, one name has begun to be mentioned by more and more people, especially in the domestic public opinion arena.

—Jiang Qing.

It's unclear at some point, but under the intentional or unintentional guidance of some online influencers and self-media accounts, the focus of discussions about ChatGPT has gradually shifted subtly from the technology itself and industry gaps to individuals.

"When we are marveling at ChatGPT, have we forgotten that we also have our own AI geniuses?"

"@Dr. Jiang Qing, if you don't act now, when will you?"

"OpenAI has its brilliant team, but we have Jiang Qing! And Wuwen Technology's technological reserves aren't weak either, are they?"

"At this crucial moment, we still have to rely on Jiang Shen! We look forward to Wuwen Technology's response!"

"Jiang Qing is a world-renowned genius. Wuwen Technology's valuation has now reached 450 billion. It's time for him to take the lead!"

"That's right! We have the River God!"

……

These sounds were initially scattered, but they quickly grew into a considerable wave of noise.

More and more people started tagging Jiang Qing and leaving comments in his Weibo comment section. The calls for a second collaboration between the drama fans and the CP fans quickly turned into a large number of calls for a response, a breakthrough, and to win glory for the country.

"Dr. Jiang, stop wasting time filming! Go back to your research!"

"Li Xun is handsome, but now is the time for His Majesty the King to return to the AI ​​battlefield!"

"Jiang Shen, it's time to show your true skills!"

……

These comments, amidst numerous discussions among drama viewers and appeals from CP fans, stood out prominently. An invisible expectation, carrying immense pressure, began to quietly gather online.

Luyang, Binhu Shuangxi.

Jiang Qing sat in front of the computer, the screen displaying a complex code interface, with another window next to it showing the latest domestic and international reports and analysis articles about ChatGPT 3.5.

Chen Duo stood quietly to the side, reporting on the latest developments in online public opinion.

"That's roughly the situation, Mr. Jiang. The discussion about comparing you and Wuwen Technology with ChatGPT, and the calls for your intervention, has increased by 150% in the past three hours. Should we take some action?"

Jiang Qing looked away from the screen, her face expressionless.

"Has the source been identified?"

"Initially, there were several active accounts, which seemed to be driven by the same group of funds, and the signs of manipulation were very obvious. But the ultimate source has not yet been found."

Chen Duo answered in a very formal and methodical manner.

Jiang Qing nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

He leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingertips lightly on the armrest a few times.

"There's no need to suppress it deliberately, just keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

Chen Duo responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously.

"Then... should the technical department prepare a relevant explanation, or should the public relations department release a statement? There are high expectations from the outside world right now."

"expect?"

Jiang Qing chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in her smile, showing no sign of tension or urgency.

"Let them have their hopes."

He turned his gaze back to the technical analysis of ChatGPT on the computer screen, his eyes deep in thought.

"Let everyone focus on their own affairs and ignore the rest."

"clear."

Chen Duo said no more and nodded in acceptance.

The study returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind coming from outside the window.

Jiang Qing stared intently at the screen, as if the public opinion storm caused by him had nothing to do with him.

However, the online outcry did not subside; on the contrary, it intensified.

From anticipation to skepticism, various voices began to intertwine.

"Why hasn't Jiang Qing made a move? Could it be that she's chickened out?"

"After all, their competitor is OpenAI. Their market capitalization is much higher, and the gap is too big. Wuwen Technology probably can't do anything about it."

"Sigh, although I really like Jiang Qing, this time it feels really difficult..."

"That's not quite right. Wuwen Technology also has many patents in natural language processing!"

"At least give a reply, right? Weren't you very high-profile before?"

"It seems like I've witnessed the downfall of a genius. He's busy filming and appearing on variety shows every day. I guess his skills are no longer up to par?"

"Seriously, what a waste of such great talent..."

The criticism grew increasingly intense.

In the living room of Binhu Shuangxi, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating Jiang Qing's tall figure and casting a warm glow.

The city remains bustling with traffic, and the online world remains noisy and vibrant.

Everything seemed normal, yet something was quietly brewing.
