Lin Fan introduced Li Zixia as his new collaborator and the Chairwoman of Golden Jade Group, which Mortal Group recently acquired. Despite initial skepticism from professionals about his AI presentation, Lin Fan revealed that Li Zixia is a computer genius who developed a revolutionary AI capable of understanding language. He demonstrated this with an AI application named Fairy Zixia, which engaged in a surprisingly childlike conversation, sparking both amazement and doubt among viewers.

At the launch event, Lin Fan unveiled a new product, the first-generation chat AI "Fairy Zixia," and conducted a live demonstration.

The most remarkable feature of "Fairy Zixia" is its "understanding," the ability to comprehend human language. Compared to previous AIs, this represents a tremendous leap forward. It can be said that the advent of Fairy Zixia signifies that humanity has reached a new milestone in AI technology, vastly different from before.

This is akin to the transition from a handcart to a car, or from an abacus to a computer. Each monumental leap in technology means the world will change because of it.

It's like when electricity became widely used, it's hard to imagine the world going back to the era of oil lamps.

Smart individuals have already recognized that a new era is upon us, but as with all new inventions, they initially face all kinds of skepticism and even ridicule.

After Lin Fan demonstrated "Fairy Zixia," some people did not believe in it, thinking it was pre-programmed. Some even questioned whether Fairy Zixia was purely human-acted.

The first kind of skepticism assumes it's pre-designed. This is easy to achieve, no more than command feedback as usual. Every word Lin Fan said just now could be pre-designed "commands," activated by keywords, with Fairy Zixia's responses being the pre-designed "feedback."

The second kind is even more outrageous, essentially someone acting as Fairy Zixia. The understanding of Lin Fan's words is not AI but a human actor behind the scenes.

This scenario is quite common in reality, such as Megatron at Universal Studios, which appears to be a robot that interacts with tourists using humorous language but actually has a person inside, wearing props and using a voice changer.

Similarly, in some banks and other locations, the service robots are mostly controlled by humans behind the scenes.

There's also the virtual idols, where motions and sounds are captured by real humans.

All of these are real people acting as fake AI, not true AI. It's a necessary measure because real AI's level is far too poor, completely unable to reach a level of normal human interaction, lacking "understanding."

But with the emergence of "Fairy Zixia," this scenario will be rewritten. In the future, there will no longer be a need for people to act as AI. When AI has understanding and thinking abilities, a truly meaningful robot is born.

Humans will sprint into a "sci-fi world," and scenes from past sci-fi films will become reality.

Lin Fan was very honest and did not exaggerate. The intelligence of the first-generation "Fairy Zixia" is indeed only about that of a seven-year-old and cannot comprehend very complex things yet. But this was intentional by Lin Fan, good things are not shared all at once, allowing AI a learning process and humans an acceptance process.

Lin Fan did not want to release something overly powerful all at once, fearing that it would cause unnecessary panic.

The appearance of Fairy Zixia amazed the audience, whether in awe or skepticism. It's undeniable that Lin Fan's gimmick attracted more people to watch.

The same situation happened online. As word spread among netizens, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to soar, making it unprecedentedly lively.

"Is it a real person acting?"

"No way, this is an official launch, and it's Lin Fan!"

"Yes, would Lin Fan resort to such a trick, openly being a fraud?"

"Otherwise, it's pre-programmed!"

"What exactly is the situation?"

Netizens were arguing, some doubtful, others half-believing.

At this time, Lin Fan had finished the demonstration and said to the audience: "Everyone, this is the basic situation of Fairy Zixia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

An audience member raised a hand: "Mr. Lin, is the AI you demonstrated real?"

Lin Fan smiled and said: "I've noticed that the viewers in the live broadcast room have such doubts, which is normal because it's indeed easy to fake. This phenomenon is common, even in many official commercial settings, where fake AI played by real humans is used to give users a sense of novelty. However, our product is genuine. The method to verify authenticity is simple. I've prepared a website for everyone to download this application and experience it."

Then, a URL appeared on the big screen.

This was prepared in advance by Lin Fan, a website specifically made for Fairy Zixia offering downloads.

Suddenly, everyone at the scene took out their phones, and at the same time, countless people bowed their heads and started fiddling with their phones.

After entering the URL, a download page appeared.

Soon Fairy Zixia was downloaded. After installing the application, people opened the program and began experiencing chatting with "Fairy Zixia."

Countless people had countless things to say.

If Lin Fan's demonstration just now was pre-designed, then now with countless people saying countless different things, if "Fairy Zixia" can respond based on understanding, this skepticism will be disproven.

Meanwhile, the doubt about a human act can also cease. If it's human-acted, how many real people would be needed to handle countless users!

Lin Fan waited at the scene for a moment, intending not to say anything but to respond to skepticism with facts. The facts alone are enough, no matter how many doubts arise, they will be overturned by the facts.

At this time, not only ordinary people but professionals and tycoons in the tech industry began downloading and using the application.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of people flooded the website, and this number continued to rise.

Fortunately, Lin Fan had anticipated this and had a robust server capable of supporting simultaneous access by 100 million people.

At the launch event.

"My God, Fairy Zixia really understands my words!"

"It's real!"

"It's so fun, I'm a bit in love with this Fairy Zixia."

"I can chat with Fairy Zixia all day and don't have to worry about her getting annoyed!"

Meanwhile.

The comments in the broadcast room also completely shifted from various doubts.

"It's real, it's true!"

"I declare, the era belonging to AI has truly arrived!"

"We must remember today, history changes from here!"

"My God, I can already see the future of humanity arriving!"

"So amazing, I'm moved to tears!"

"I'm shaking with excitement!"

In an instant, countless praises flooded in. People were giving compliments, feeling excited, and even going crazy.

The traffic was also going crazy, with the number of live broadcast viewers soaring geometrically from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to millions...

The professionals who previously cursed and left the broadcast room came running back with enthusiasm. The more unpleasantly they cursed before, the more flatteringly they praised after experiencing "Fairy Zixia."

This day is destined to be extraordinary.
