Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1523 1522:

A press conference is being held, this is the launch of the new project by Mortal Group.

The press conference is unexpectedly taking place in the streets of Hang City, at Hang City Government Center Square, on a bustling street with a temporarily constructed venue, which naturally attracts an audience.

Additionally, Lin Fan has arranged for a live broadcast, so that audiences from all over the world can enter the live stream to watch.

This is an unconventional press conference, destined to become a classic talked about by many, and in the future will be a marketing model for numerous companies to study.

Lin Fan held this press conference without any preliminary promotion or announcement; apart from Mortal Group internally, no one externally knew in advance that Lin Fan was going to have a new project press conference.

This is Lin Fan giving everyone a surprise.

However, Lin Fan did not deliberately strive to be the first to announce the Metaverse; the reason he held this press conference today is that he believes it is ready, not to compete for first place.

In fact, Lin Fan is completely unaware that the Wangu Group is also working on the Metaverse and will hold a press conference tomorrow.

During this period, Lin Fan has been fully immersed in the new project, knowing very little about external news.

Moreover, Lin Fan doesn't care about being first; for him, whether he announces first or second doesn't matter.

What matters is who can last until the end.

To go to the end, to reach first place, relies on true skills, so having hard strength is the hard truth.

What Lin Fan doesn't care about is something Wei Tiansheng cares about a lot, but the indifferent Lin Fan unintentionally became the first, unknowingly stealing Wei Tiansheng's thunder.

This almost gave Wei Tiansheng a heart attack in anger.

Of course, Lin Fan doesn't know any of this yet; he is personally hosting the press conference and takes it very seriously, needing to prove to the market Mortal's strength in the Metaverse.

Ultimately, it still comes down to stock prices.

Because the press conference is held on the street, it quickly gathered a crowd of on-site spectators.

"Mortal Group? Isn't that a company from Yun City, why did it come to Hang City for a press conference?"

"Mortal previously built a chip factory in Hang City, which caused quite a stir. It seems Mortal is officially entering the Hang City market."

"What press conference is being held today? Is there a new product?"

The crowd was curious.

At Hang City Center Square, a large LED advertisement screen had been rented by Lin Fan, becoming the screen for this press conference.

At this time, text appeared on the big screen: Mortal Group New Project Press Conference.

Soon, the screen changed to four large characters.

"Artificial Intelligence"

Immediately sparked a heated discussion.

"Artificial Intelligence? So Mortal is getting into artificial intelligence?"

"Mortal has a lot of tricks, but I don't have high hopes for artificial intelligence!"

"I just want to see what new tricks Mortal can come up with?"

"No need to look, my friend studies computer science, and he already told me, the current stage of artificial intelligence is just artificial dumbness!"

"What do you mean?"

"It just doesn't work; it's the limitations of humanity, constrained by current technology levels."

"Looks like there's nothing worth seeing!"

Mortal displaying "Artificial Intelligence" has already provoked quite a few skeptical voices.

At this stage, artificial intelligence is indeed unimpressive, and basically, companies claiming to work on AI face embarrassment.

Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, sounds very sci-fi, but reality is quite stark.

If you've seen robot-themed sci-fi films, you'd know that in future worlds, aside from their machine bodies, robots are no different from humans, possessing human-like thinking abilities, and due to their strong storage and computing abilities, vastly exceeding humans in knowledge, leading to plots of robots rebelling against humans.

Sci-fi is called sci-fi because it represents technology far beyond reality levels.

In fact, our real-world AI is far from reaching this level; conversely, today's AI is quite awkward, and can be said to just have an AI facade without actual AI.

What does that mean.

Decades ago, when computers were invented, they already had a basic function — feedback based on commands.

For example, if you need the computer to perform calculations, just input the command; the simplest example is, if you need to calculate one plus one, just input the calculation formula into the computer to get the answer.

The so-called current stage of artificial intelligence is basically stuck at this stage.

For instance, take the voice assistants on mobile phones, using Apple's Siri as an example, all you need to do is shout "Hey Siri" to wake the voice assistant, then you can "talk" to it.

This is essentially the command feedback from decades ago, just repackaged to seem sophisticated.

The phrase "Hey Siri" is a command; the program, upon receiving the command, helps users activate the voice program in the background.

Then, the so-called "conversation" is still "command feedback." You'll find that no matter what you say, Siri's responses are just a few, pre-set sentences triggered by keywords, randomly fed back to you.

Thus, you can't have a normal human conversation with Siri, as it can't understand what you say.

You initially find it novel but soon feel it's boring, ultimately can't resist complaining about "artificial dumbness."

These phone manufacturers have no good solution, only able to package the voice assistant, like giving it an anthropomorphic name, trying to endear it to users.

If there's any progress, there is indeed some; at least you're no longer manually inputting commands but using voice recognition inputs.

But even voice recognition is still poorly done; you must speak standard Chinese for AI to recognize, or else there will be numerous recognition errors.

For example, in the current voice input method, after finishing a sentence, converting it to text reveals numerous mistakes, as the program can only recognize standard Chinese; slightly non-standard speech results in errors, not to mention dialects.

It can be said that the current stage of artificial intelligence is quite crude, far from reaching the human-machine dialogue scenes in sci-fi movies.

Because Mortal Group has consecutively developed chips and new energy vehicles, they are gradually becoming a rising star in the tech industry, attracting unprecedented attention.

Therefore, upon learning Mortal Group is holding a new project press conference, it immediately drew a lot of attention from the tech industry, including some big shots in the tech world, such as computer experts and various hackers.

They all want to know what Mortal is up to.

However, after the big screen showed "Artificial Intelligence,"

Many of the big shots grumbled and exited the live stream; some even spat out "frauds."

There's no choice; the big shots know artificial intelligence too well. Seeing the focus on artificial intelligence, they know it's just capitalists trying to fool the naive.
