Actively cope with the meaning crisis brought by ChatGPT

"Zhuangzi · Heaven and Earth" describes a fable story of "Hugging Garden",A "for the garden" hard to "cut into the tunnel and enter the well,Put out of the puppet ",When Zi Gong told him that there was a advanced water removal device "Orange",But he "nothing but knowing,Shy but not "reasons" rejection。In the eyes of many people,This "for the garden" seems to be a pedantic person,But we might as well transfer the scene of the dialogue to the present,If someone tells us,Now there is a machine called ChatGPT,It can solve many problems in the production of text content,Are we willing to use it? Presumably some people will refuse like "for the garden"。So,Why are these people who rejected ChatGPT? Zhuangzi actually borrows the mouth of "as a garden",reveals the deep "significance" of a human relationship with technology。

Now,Chatgpt's popularity makes people can't help exclaiming "the future is here",Some practitioners in related industries even face many unemployment pressures。Of course,There are also optimists think,Chatgpt brings unprecedented opportunities to humans,If you are good at using,Human civilization will enter the new era。Of course,From the perspective of technological development,Human conflict between humans treating ChatGPT is not a new phenomenon in human history,When a new technology appears,Human will always keep it vigilant or even limited。For example,In ancient China, there was a tradition of negating "Qi Qi Qiao" for a long time,and the bet365 live casino games "Ludder Movement" of workers who destroy machines in the modern Western industrial revolution。Of course,For the ability and will of cultivation and tempering people,People sometimes deliberately refuse the use of technology。For example,In order to allow elementary school students to master mathematical computing capabilities without allowing them to use the calculator prematurely。It can be said in a sense,The development history of human technology is a game history that supports and opposes。

In order to better reveal the "meaning" problem of people and technology,We might as well make a comparison between "Haoyao Garden" and "Yugong Yishan"。From the perspective of modern people,The practice of "Yugong Yishan" does not seem to be the best decision,But the evaluation of "Yu Gong" in history is completely the opposite of "being a garden"。"Yugong" has become hard -working and hard -working、persistent symbol,and "for the garden" almost become pedantic and old、Representatives with disabled。Why does this huge contrast occur? The reason is that the "meaning" of the two。From the perspective of efficiency,When as one thing,If you already have more advanced technology, you can use it,If you take it time and laboriously to rely on manpower or old technology to do it,This kind of effort and struggle often lose meaning。The reason why "for the garden" is considered to be pedantic,It is because he does not need to when he has advanced tools。He could have used the "Orange" with "Orange 槔" with "a lot of power",But he refused。Although his labor is hard,But lost the meaning of the deserved。Compared with it,When one thing has not yet more advanced technology, it can be used,Relying on the efforts bet365 best casino games and struggles of the current technology will be affirmed (because of it because of this)。"Yu Gong" is not the use of advanced technology,In the time, there was no more advanced excavation and handling technology that could be used,Can only use tools such as "Ax" and "畚 畚"。Because of this,This kind of labor seems meaningful。Not only that,The end of the story of "Yu Gong" still rely on a kind of imaginary divine power to achieve the goal of moving mountains,This also reflects people's longing for a kind of omnipotent technology。

 Balance of creation and dissolution 

With the emergence of powerful artificial intelligence products such as ChatGPT,Human yearning seems to be becoming increasingly reality,But many people do not seem to be ecstatic,Instead of panic。This is as described as described by the story of "Ye Gong Hao Dragon": when Ye Gongxin's "dragon" really appears in front of him,He panicked。This can not help people reflect,Humanity's preference for technology also exists in a "Ye Gong Hao Dragon" contradiction psychology。Human hope technology is getting more and more advanced,But I don’t want technology to be too advanced。This contradictory psychology reflects the tension between technology and significance: technology is in the meaning of "creating students",The meaning of "elimination" is on the one side。The so -called "creative",refers to the continuous expansion of the scope of technology to make human practice,Make the goals that could not be achieved before,So as to continuously open up new territory,allowing humans to create new meaning in larger space。The so -called meaning "elimination",refers to the place where it is conquered by technology,Those activities that bet365 best casino games rely on old craftsmanship will lose the original meaning,So as to be laughed at the "being the garden" in Zhuangzi's parable。It can be said in a certain sense,Human civilization is constantly moving forward in this "meaning" "creative" and "elimination" -s maintain a relative dynamic balance。

But,This relative dynamic balance has been challenged after human beings enter modern society。In the "Slow Culture" before modern technology society,Significance is more replaced by a slow rhythm,When the significance of a conventional labor disappears,Human beings still have enough time to find new meaning。After entering the modern technology society,This more replacement rhythm is obviously accelerated,People may not be able to find a new meaning when they lose the old sense to fill this lack。As Habermas said,"We thought that the earth under our feet was stable,and it starts to shake now,This will bring us a sense of dizziness "。Someone has done statistics,In the time when the number of users reaches 100 million,The phone has been used for 75 years,It has been used for 16 years for mobile phones,The Internet has been used for 7 years,Apple App Store for 2 years,Douyin took 9 months,and ChatGPT only used for 2 months。Human society is ruled by the "Acceleration" culture -a new technology has just been adapted by humans,will be replaced by updated technology,The meaning of the meaning just established was broken by new technologies。

Although the more replacement frequency of the "meaning" of modern society is accelerating,But in the past, human beings can still work through the work that the machine cannot do,Re -establish the meaning of human beings。So,Although each new technology has caused some jobs to Bet365 lotto review disappear,But humans can create updated jobs to balance this vacancy。More importantly,Human wisdom can always advance to machine,Human destiny is firmly in your own hands。ChatGPT's emergence seems to be breaking this balance。Fast iteration、In front of the optimized ChatGPT,The "meaning" of many human activities seems to be temporary,Even it will eventually be eaten。As someone said,We should not ask what ChatGPT can do,should ask what it can't do。In front of ChatGPT,Many work of human beings seems to degenerate into primitive low -level labor。As the father of the control theory, Vina said: "The current industrial revolution lies in the depreciation of the human brain,At least the simpler and more conventional judgment effect of the human brain will depreciate。"Humanity seems to be more and more difficult to find new meaning space,constantly facing unprecedented confusion。but but,People are "animals hanging on the Internet of self -weaving meaning" after all ",To eliminate human confusion,The fundamental method is still the web to rebuild the meaning of human beings。

  Innovation and analysis and crisis response 

Before appearing in ChatGPT,Many people think,Artificial intelligence can only do some conventional repetitive work,instead of real innovation,"Technical Strange Point" either in a distant future,Either you can never achieve。But the emergence of ChatGPT has changed some people's views。If ChatGPT can really innovate,Then human status will not guarantee。The key to the problem is,Can ChatGPT innovate。

Chatgpt's essence is a "large language model",The working principle is based on the words that appeared before,Forecast of the next word or word sequence in the given bet365 Play online games text。As Chatgpt itself said: "When you ask me a question,I use my text data training and algorithm to generate the answer related to your question,and write it in a natural way。I can provide accurate and useful information,But I am not a perfect source of knowledge,I can't always provide a complete or correct answer。"Ask" Can ChatGPT innovation ",Similar inquiries "Can I find new knowledge in the interpretation method"。From a perspective,The conclusions of the interpretation method have been contained in the premise。In this sense,The interpretation method does not produce new knowledge。But from another perspective,Interpretation sometimes reveals some unknown information。For example,Premiere with the "Maxwell Formula" as the premise,can derive the existence of "electromagnetic waves"。In this sense,The interpretation method can produce some new knowledge that has not been discovered or ignored before。similar to it,ChatGPT is not innovation in the previous sense,In the later sense, it can be said to be some kind of innovation。

Current,Chatgpt and there are two limitations。First, "Can't understand the context or meaning of the context or meaning of generating words",Second, "only information that can only be trained,Problems other than training data "。So,Facing the meaning crisis brought by ChatGPT,We can adopt the following responses。First,Establish a restricted area in some special areas (such as some education fields) (just like prohibiting stimulants in the sports field),Can not use ChatGPT in these areas。Next,Actively develop new meaning space,Improving the ability to control ChatGPT,Let ChatGPT become a good assistant to human beings。bet365 best casino games Last,Keep "Primitive Innovation", a bridgehead of human beings,,Walking in front of artificial intelligence,Ensure that human destiny is in your own hands。
