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

Chapter 396 The Tip of the Iceberg, Rewriting the Landscape
"Waaaaah... Jiang Shen is still the same Jiang Shen, as charming as ever!"

"I even joined the trend of criticizing it before, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"This person's composure is incredible. If I were being scolded like that, I would have collapsed long ago..."

"Where are those people who were so vocal in their criticism? Come out and apologize!"

"I'm sorry, Dr. Jiang, I shouldn't have questioned you!"

"+1, I apologize too!"

"+10086!"

As Jiang Qing appeared, the live chat exploded with comments, and many netizens who had previously joined in criticizing her apologized.

Just as the live chat was flooded with various creative apologies, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed.

Seeing this, the barrage of comments slowed down, and everyone held their breath, anticipating what surprise Jiang Qing would bring them.

The large screen slowly lit up, and a giant pupil, identical to that on the press conference poster, appeared in the center, exuding a sense of futuristic technology.

As the lights gradually came on, the slogan "Intelligence Enables All Things, the Future Has Arrived" reappeared above the pupils.

Jiang Qing walked to the area below the pupils and smiled as she looked around the audience.

“A month ago, OpenAI released ChatGPT 3.5, and its sudden appearance was truly amazing.”

His voice traveled through the headset to every corner of the venue.

"It can have fluent conversations, write code, write articles, and even perform a certain degree of creative work, which is undoubtedly a major milestone in the practical application of artificial intelligence."

The audience spontaneously erupted in enthusiastic applause.

This is a fact, and there is no denying it.

As soon as the applause subsided, Jiang Qing changed the subject.

"And today, I want to show you the results of Wuwen Technology's three years of dedicated research, which is the product that everyone has guessed, namely... Wuwen Big Model!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pupils on the screen flickered slightly, as if in response to his words.

The audience members showed expressions of "I knew it," some nodded, some exchanged glances, seemingly feeling that this was expected, yet vaguely feeling that something was missing from the surprise.

Jiang Qing stood in the center of the stage, her gaze sweeping across the entire audience, a calm smile on her lips.

At that moment, the pupil on the big screen, composed of data streams, seemed to come alive, turning slightly as he spoke.

"I know that when I say the words 'large model,' many people might think..."

He paused deliberately and shrugged.

"That's it?"

A burst of light laughter rang out from the audience, instantly lightening the atmosphere considerably.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room scrolled rapidly.

"Is it okay to just use your own memes?"

"Jiang Shen looks so relaxed, he even made a self-deprecating joke, haha!"

"Judging from this, it should be similar to ChatGPT3.5, and perhaps even has some advantages?"

Jiang Qing smiled as she looked at the reactions from the audience.

“I can understand everyone’s thoughts, after all, ChatGPT has already demonstrated amazing results on this path.”

Jiang Qing looked towards the second row below the stage and nodded to the representative of OpenAI.

"I must express my respect here. You have done a remarkable job, truly showing the world the potential of AI."

The OpenAI representatives looked slightly surprised, then stood up and politely nodded in response.

The audience spontaneously erupted in enthusiastic applause, both for OpenAI and for Jiang Qing's poise.

"but……"

Jiang Qing changed the subject.

"My team at Wuwen and I have been pondering a question: Will the future of artificial intelligence be limited to question-and-answer interactions? Will it only be able to wait for humans to ask questions and then provide answers?"

He slowly walked to the edge of the stage, getting closer to the front row.

“For the past three years, the Wuwen team has been exploring another possibility. What we want to create is not a machine that can only answer questions, but a partner that truly understands human needs and can even anticipate those needs.”

At this moment, Zhou Hongyi, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but shout out.

"President Jiang, stop keeping us in suspense and show us!"

The audience burst into good-natured laughter.

Jiang Qing smiled and looked in Zhou Hongyi's direction, teasing him with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou is still as impatient as ever. Please wait a moment, he'll be right there."

His gaze shifted to Lei Jun.

"Mr. Lei, have you ever thought about what it would be like if Xiao Ai (Xiaomi's AI assistant) were integrated with ChatGPT?"

This statement is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in the front row.

"I've actually thought about that. I look forward to Mr. Jiang showing me."

Lei Jun smiled and raised his hand in a "please" gesture.

Ma Huateng and Zhang Yiming exchanged a glance.

Li Yanhong subconsciously sat up straight.

"I would be happy to demonstrate for Mr. Lei."

Jiang Qing smiled nonchalantly.

"I must clarify that this is not a simple addition of features."

Jiang Qing looked around the room, her voice firm and resolute.

"It's a fundamental reconstruction! Therefore, our grand model is codenamed... Omnipotence."

The pupils on the big screen contracted slightly as he spoke, as if responding to the name.

"Wanxiang" means to encompass all things and also implies constant change.

Jiang Qing paced back and forth on the stage, speaking eloquently.

"It doesn't answer passively, but actively understands. It doesn't execute mechanically, but interacts intelligently."

Hearing Jiang Qing's words, everyone present held their breath, waiting for his next demonstration.

They had a vague premonition of something, especially internet giants like Robin Li, whose expressions were particularly grave.

The comments section thinned out as everyone became completely absorbed in the conversation.

Jiang Qing suddenly looked up and called out naturally to the air.

Hello, Vientiane.

A gentle, natural female voice immediately responded in the venue.

"Hello, Dr. Jiang. It's a pleasure to meet you all today."

This response sent a chill down everyone's spine.

In the audience, Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi exchanged a surprised glance.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Duling's cool eyes, then she pursed her lips, her anticipation growing stronger.

Wang Churan gripped the armrests of the seat tightly, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

How's the weather in Luyang today?

On stage, Jiang Qing continued to ask questions as if chatting with an old friend.

The female voice responded immediately.

"Today in Luyang, it will be sunny turning cloudy, with temperatures ranging from -12 to 17 degrees Celsius. The current outdoor temperature is 13 degrees Celsius, with a level 2 easterly wind and good air quality. Compared to yesterday, the temperature has dropped slightly, making it a good day for outdoor activities."

As it described the weather, the large screen displayed the day's weather information for Luyang, including temperature curves, wind speed and direction, and air quality index.

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded.

"So, what activities do you recommend in this kind of weather?"

The woman's reply remained fluent and natural.

"Based on today's weather conditions and your preferences, I recommend the following ten activities. First, hike in Da Shu Mountain; the mountain scenery has a unique charm this season. Second, visit the new exhibition at the Provincial Museum. Third..."

Each time a recommendation is mentioned, a corresponding text and image description will be displayed on the big screen, along with route planning and estimated travel time.

When the female voice said, "Tenth, brew a cup of hot tea at home and read a good book," several books recommended by Jiang Qing based on his reading history appeared on the screen.

Jiang Qing chose the first recommendation.

"Then let's go hiking. Could you give me some more specific suggestions?"

The female voice responded immediately.

"Of course. I suggest you enter from the East Gate of Da Shu Mountain, as there are fewer tourists at this time. I recommend choosing the gentler western route, which is about 2.3 kilometers long and should take about 45 minutes. Remember to wear non-slip shoes, as it can be windy at the summit, so I suggest bringing a light jacket. Would you like me to plan a specific route for you?"

"No thanks."

Jiang Qing said with a smile, then turned to face the audience, raising an eyebrow at the corner of her eye.

"Looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, but it was mostly out of politeness.

After all, while the presentation of Vientiane is smooth so far, it doesn't seem to have exceeded people's expectations for AI assistants.

However, the business tycoons in the front row all looked extremely serious.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Zhang Yiming leaned towards Ma Huateng beside him and lowered his voice.

"The response speed is incredible, almost zero latency. The computing architecture behind this is not simple, no... it's amazing!"

Ma Huateng adjusted his glasses, his eyes darting around.

"More importantly, it's about understanding context. It's not about mechanically answering every question, but about engaging in a continuous dialogue."

Jiang Qing, standing on the stage, saw through the thoughts of many audience members and smiled as she spread her hands.

“I bet some people are thinking right now, that’s it? It just looks like an upgraded language assistant.”

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

But no one refuted this; most people thought the same way.

"So……"

Jiang Qing's eyes suddenly became playful.

"Let's try something different."

He turned to face the big screen.

"Wanxiang, I'm planning to demonstrate your abilities to the people here. Could you create a food delivery app for me in just one minute?"

The question immediately fell silent.

AI-powered hand-scrolling app?

ChatGPT seems to only support simple code, right?
The eyes of the well-informed internet giants in the front row gleamed, while the pupils of AI gurus like Yao Qizhi shrank dramatically.

They knew better than anyone what this meant!
Chen Tianshi adjusted his posture, Ma Yun narrowed his eyes, and Li Yanhong leaned forward, almost standing up from his seat.

In the audience, Zhou Ye nervously grabbed Meng Ziyi's hand.

Zhang Jingyi held her breath, her eyes fixed on the person on the stage who seemed to be shining.

Wang Churan almost screamed, but forcibly held back.

Tian Xiwei's eyes widened, looking just like a manga girl.

The live chat exploded!

"Are you crazy?"

"Write an app in one minute?"

"This is impossible!"

"Jiang Shen, don't get too cocky! Be careful you don't get slapped in the face!"

……

However, under everyone's gaze, Wanxiang's female voice simply answered calmly.

"Okay, Dr. Jiang. Please give me your specific requirements for this app."

Without hesitation, Jiang Qing gave the instructions. "It should have an intuitive interface that can intelligently recommend dishes based on the user's taste preferences and health condition. It should have real-time order tracking, not just showing the rider's location, but also predicting delivery times down to the minute. It should integrate multiple payment methods, have intelligent customer service to handle complex after-sales issues, and also have social features so users can share their dining experiences."

Every time he made a request, the code on the big screen scrolled rapidly, and the interface design was generated and optimized at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to keep up with.

Gasps of astonishment filled the air!
As Jiang Qing finished making her last request, Wanxiang's voice rang out softly.

"Completed. I have generated the complete code package, UI design mockups, database architecture, and deployment plan for this app. Would you like me to demonstrate the main features now?"

On the big screen, a beautifully designed and fully functional food delivery app interface was displayed to everyone.

The whole place was dead silent!

Several seconds passed before someone started clapping.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause erupted and lasted for several minutes without stopping!
The people in the front row had different expressions, but the shock on their faces was consistent.

Ma Huateng turned to Zhang Yiming and shook his head with a sigh.

"This is no longer a matter of technological superiority; it's a generational gap."

Zhang Yiming did not respond immediately; he just stared intently at the big screen, as if trying to find a flaw in it.

Lei Jun had already taken out his phone and was quickly sending a message to his assistant: "All department heads, immediately put down your work and watch the Wuwen Technology press conference live. I will connect with you later for an online meeting."

After finishing, he turned his gaze back to the young man on the stage, feeling both moved and belatedly amused and exasperated.

So... you were just kidding us all along?
Ok?
On stage, Jiang Qing waited for the applause to subside before smiling and holding up one finger.

"Everyone, don't rush to applaud. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of all phenomena."

His leisurely words sent a chill down the spines of the business tycoons in the audience.

Is this just the tip of the iceberg?
Jiang Qing smiled and glanced at the big screen.

"Wanxiang, generate an image for me now. Hmm... make it cute. A golden retriever in a suit is hosting a press conference, with the Wuwen Technology logo in the background."

Almost instantly after the words were spoken, a lifelike image appeared on the big screen.

A serious-looking golden retriever, dressed in a well-fitting suit, stands behind the podium, with the Wuwen Technology logo behind it.

What's hilarious is that it also has a pair of sunglasses perched on its nose, showing off its big teeth, making it incredibly comical.

The images are so realistic that it's almost impossible to tell they were generated by AI.

"my God!"

"Was this done by AI?"

"ChatGPT probably can't do that either, right?"

"It's possible, but it takes a long time, and it looks obviously fake!"

"Yes, the effect is much worse!"

"terrible……"

A commotion of gasps and exclamations erupted from the audience.

"Again."

Jiang Qing, however, had no intention of stopping and snapped her fingers with a smile.

"Write me a short story about how artificial intelligence helps the elderly regain their memories, something touching."

Three seconds later, a carefully crafted short story began to scroll across the large screen, beautifully written and full of genuine emotion.

"Now, turn this story into a 30-second short video script."

The script is generated immediately, including storyboards, dialogue, and scene descriptions.

Finally, the video is generated based on this script.

Below the stage, Zhang Yiming suddenly gripped the armrest of his chair tightly.

Image, then video?

A short video entirely generated by AI began playing on the big screen. The video was smooth, the emotions were accurately expressed, and there was no trace of it being an AI production.

The scene erupted in cheers!

Academician Yao Qizhi looked at Huang Tiejun beside him with a radiant smile.

"This is not just a technological breakthrough, it's a breakthrough in artistic creation!"

Yoshua Bengio, one of the three giants of deep learning, tilted his head at Yann LeCun beside him.

"We've all been fooled by him. His skill level is already several generations ahead of ours!"

His expression was bitter, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

Below the stage, Zhou Ye looked proudly at Jiang Qing on the stage, tears glistening in his eyes.

Looking at the spirited figure on the stage, Chen Duling felt as if she had returned to the day she first met him.

Wang Churan could hardly control her excitement, clutching her chest tightly with both hands, her eyes burning with fervor!

Tian Xiwei smiled happily and took a bunch of photos of Jiang Qing with her phone.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes lit up as she thought of Li Xun in the drama, who had also shone brightly on stage.

But Jiang Qing is even more powerful than him!
wrong!

That's way more impressive!
Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow at the reaction of the crowd.

"It just occurred to me that it's a good thing Mr. Wang wasn't here today, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to demonstrate like this."

A knowing laugh rippled through the audience.

"In fact, the power of all things goes far beyond this."

He suddenly changed the subject and became serious.

“Our design for the Vientiane is not just a tool, but a creative partner. It can understand precise human needs and perform truly creative work.”

As she spoke, Jiang Qing walked to the front of the stage.

"Behind this lies Wuwen Technology's groundbreaking progress in multimodal learning, natural language processing, and algorithms over the past three years. We not only make AI smarter, but also more humane."

The pupils reappeared on the big screen, but this time they were more vivid, as if they were truly conscious flowing within them.

"Wanxiang's core breakthrough lies in our development of a brand-new attention mechanism that enables AI to better understand the context of the surrounding text. At the same time, we have made significant progress in multimodal fusion, enabling AI to seamlessly switch between text, images, audio, and video."

He paused for a moment, allowing the audience to process this information.

"More importantly, we have taught AI to create rather than just imitate. This is a qualitative leap in the field of artificial intelligence, a historic breakthrough."

His words were anything but humble, yet no one felt there was anything wrong with them.

The group of business tycoons in the front row had mixed feelings.

Li Yanhong sighed.

"Its emergence may redefine the entire internet ecosystem."

Zhang Yiming nodded slowly.

"We've always underestimated him. No... it's that our General Manager Jiang has been hiding his true abilities!"

Ma Huateng was quickly jotting something down on his phone, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Jiang Qing took in the reactions from the audience, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Vientiane, at the end of the presentation, write me a poem about tonight's press conference. Hmm... make it a little humorous."

A moment later, a witty and humorous poem appeared on the big screen, eliciting laughter from the entire audience.

Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow.

"Now, let's adapt this poem into a popular song."

An original piece of music immediately filled the venue. The melody was catchy, the lyrics were rhyming, and it perfectly met the standards of a pop song.

The chat in the live stream went absolutely crazy!
"Is this AI???"

"I was stunned, completely stunned!"

Am I watching a science fiction movie?

"This is no longer technology, this is magic!"

"Aba Aba..."

Below the stage, Zhou Ye looked at Jiang Qing on the stage, his heart filled with pride.

She turned and took Meng Ziyi's hand.

"That's amazing! Right? He's incredible!"

"That's right!"

Meng Ziyi nodded frantically, completely agreeing.

That's absolutely amazing!
Chen Duling sat not far away, watching Jiang Qing's radiant appearance on the stage, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

The boy from back then is both similar to and different from the man who is now in control of everything.

But... it's equally captivating.

Wang Churan gripped the armrests of the seat tightly, trying her best to control her trembling body.

Tian Xiwei kept muttering to herself, and you could vaguely hear words like "so handsome," "sci-fi movie," and "brother" coming out of her mouth.

Zhao Jinmai sat a little further away, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Dilraba sat in the corner, wrapped up tightly, keeping a very low profile.

Looking at that man who seemed to have his own halo, all she wanted now was to find a place where he could possess her madly!

Liu Haocun withdrew his gaze, feeling his heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of his chest. All the little complaints he had left behind at Binhu Shuangxi were now gone.

All that remains is heartfelt admiration and pride!
Jing Tian shifted uncomfortably in her seat, feeling a strange sensation deep within her body, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Thinking that I need to find a place to change my clothes after the press conference...

The scene was engulfed in a deafening roar.

After a long while, Jiang Qing waited for the scene to calm down before walking to the center of the stage and facing everyone.

"Vientiane has many capabilities waiting to be explored. In practical applications, Vientiane can help writers create novels, composers compose music, directors produce films, and designers create works..."

He paused.

"But at the same time..."

His tone became serious.

“We are also well aware of the potential risks of this technology. Therefore, we have incorporated multiple security mechanisms and ethical constraints into the Wanxiang system.”

A series of safety measures were displayed on the large screen.

"This includes content filtering mechanisms, access control, and a system for tracing the source of creative work, among others. We firmly believe that technology should serve humanity, not replace it."

The experts and scholars present nodded in approval.

"Today, we stand at a new starting point. We hope to explore the infinite possibilities of artificial intelligence and more application scenarios."

Jiang Qing opened her arms and glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar faces below the stage.

"The future has arrived, and this... is our answer without questions."

In an instant, the entire audience spontaneously stood up, and thunderous applause erupted.

Continuous and enduring.

Everyone's face displayed a complex mix of emotions: shock, admiration, wariness, and barely concealed excitement.

The live stream chat was completely flooded with comments!
"A historic moment!"

"This is the real technological revolution!"

"Those who previously criticized Jiang Qing, come out and apologize!"

"Wuwen Technology is awesome! Jiang Qing is awesome!"

"From today onwards, the balance of power in the field of AI has shifted!"

……

Amid thunderous applause, Jiang Qing stood tall, maintaining a smile, accepting everyone's admiring gaze.

Zhang Yiming and the others in the audience looked at each other, exchanging glances, all realizing a common fact.

Wuwen Technology's rise is unstoppable!

Domestically... no, that's not right.

The world order will be rewritten!
