OpenAI has shocked the world with its latest creation, Sora. The AI tool can produce videos up to one minute long. Many people worry that the tool will put many filmmakers out of business.
Similar worries have been voiced since the appearance of the AI chatbot ChatGPT and text-to-image programs like Dall E. Many are afraid that industries (行业) such as programming, translation, teaching and design will all disappear. It seems we can turn to AI for just about anything we want to do.
Does that mean we no longer need to gain knowledge and skills ourselves? Well, the answer is “No”. Even in the age of AI, knowledge is still powerful. In fact, it may ask you to use your brain more. AI is knowledgeable, but for now, it needs instructions (指令). In other words, you must communicate with it. For example, you want advice on how to get a better return on your savings. If you don’t know anything about finances (经济), you’ll have trouble asking the right questions.
You also need to exercise your imagination more actively. Take the Chinese New Year celebration video for example. You need to be clear about your expectations and use your language skills to describe them in as much detail as possible. Where is the celebration taking place? What performances are going on? What are the performers wearing? You may also need to be a bit professional (专业的). For example, “Throw in a close-up of a dragon dancer.”
And keep in mind that AI can make mistakes. After AI gives you an answer, you need to judge (判断) whether all the information is correct and up to date. To do this, you need at least some basic knowledge about the related (相关的) subjects.
If you think the development of AI has given you the right to be lazy, it’s time to stop day dreaming. Work harder on your studies so that you’ll be able to work with AI.
