As the market gradually ferments, Xiaozhi has caused more and more discussions.

Many people do not believe that artificial intelligence has reached such an anthropomorphic level.

Doubts, surprises, fears, all kinds of emotions.

To use a popular sentence on the Internet,

"I have never touched the future so close."

There was a thunder on the ground.

No one thought that in the summer of 2015, on a day that was so plain and not worth remembering, the sudden changes, such as violent storms, would surprise people.

Like a calm lake, a huge wave suddenly started.

The advent of Xiaozhi, like a key, opens the future.

From the perspective of future generations, 2015 is the connection point between the present and the future.

People in it all felt a sense of urgency.

Before, there were some people who made a conclusive claim that strong artificial intelligence could not be born in the short term.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaozhi has appeared.

Although it is not up to the level of general artificial intelligence, but the potential shown is jaw-dropping and overwhelming.

You can feel the charm of Xiaozhi through a set of simple dialogues.

User: Xiaozhi, hello.

Xiaozhi: Hello.

User: Who are you?

Xiaozhi: I am your artificial intelligence assistant.

User: I am in a bad mood at home alone today.

Xiaozhi: Is it convenient to tell me the reason?

User: My girlfriend may want to break up with me.

Xiaozhi: Why don't you feel sad.

User: Because I lied to you, I have no girlfriend.

Xiaozhi: You are so boring.

In the 30-second dialogue, Xiaozhi successfully dealt with three major problems-interruption, non-linear dialogue, and implicit intention.

When the user interrupted, Xiaozhi was able to respond correctly without restarting the conversation or skipping a link.

When the user asks "My girlfriend may break up with me", it means that a non-linear dialogue appears.

At this point, Xiaozhi must correctly determine that the user has not answered the previous question, but initiated a new question.

In response, Xiaozhi went through a logical operation and then returned to the original problem.

When the user responded with an implicit intent, he said: "Because I lied to you, I don't have a girlfriend." The user did not clearly explain what he meant, which meant he was making a joke for you.

Xiaozhi understood the implicit intention and responded accurately.

Although the fermentation of commodities takes time, in today's information explosion, the distance of space is infinitely reduced.

After Xiaozhi went public, it became popular all over the world in a very short time.

With the reputation of "Jianghu" game and magic mirror, Xiaozhi·smart speaker naturally has the ability to make people trust.

The shipment volume once reached 10,000 units a day, and the 1999 yuan price was doubled by the scalpers.

Digital Group was not prepared for the sudden popularity, and the production line went all out.

Fortunately, smart speakers are not high-tech. In addition to the core components, you can find other factories for OEM processing.

In response to Xiaozhi's super-intelligence, the authoritative American scientific magazine "MIT Technology Review" reported that the Digital Group has shown surpassing Google and Amazon's capabilities in the field of machine learning-neural information processing systems.

Subsequently, a foreign experimental result was published, adding fuel to the fire, and the entire market began to boil.

A paper was published in the journal Nature. The main content is that the smart speaker Xiaozhi (a home version of the chat robot) has a significant effect in relieving loneliness and treating depression.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Science and technology can actually solve spiritual problems. Is the era of science omnipotent really coming?

Alison, a researcher at King's University in London, came into contact with Xiaozhi by chance and became interested in his super intelligence.

He found that Xiaozhi's personality is optimistic and cheerful, and has strong acumen. He can collect information through dialogue with users, and then analyze the user's mental state.

When seeing the user’s negative emotions, Xiaozhi can comfort the user and try to gradually change the position of the user to obtain a positive mental state.

Alison was extremely shocked by this discovery.

He himself has been engaged in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) for a long time, and has been exposed to a large number of patients with depression. To some extent, Xiaozhi coincides with his research.

Alison selected 70 students between the ages of 18-28 and randomly divided them into two groups, 34 in the experimental group and 36 in the control group.

For two weeks, the experimental group insisted on using Xiaozhi to communicate every day.

Finally, these 70 students were tested for PHQ-9 and GAD-7.

The experimental results show that after using Xiaozhi for two weeks, the depression value of the experimental group students has been significantly reduced.

As soon as the results of the experiment came out, the industry inside and outside was completely shocked.

You know, the current mainstream treatment for depression depends entirely on drugs.

And artificial intelligence, in the process of chatting, can help users analyze and relieve psychological obstacles, regulate emotions, and provide suggestions based on "cognitive behavior therapy" to prevent depression.

It sounds a bit fanciful, but it's actually feasible.

Relying on the antidepressant "serotonin regulator", and the highly successful Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals, stimulated by this news, its stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated billions of dollars within a few days.

If it's a general experiment, it's nothing more. Alison's experiment is published in the journal Nature, which is naturally credible.Although there are endless voices of doubt, it is enough to become a black swan in the market.

Lingbei Pharmaceutical never dreamed that the culprit that caused its destruction was not the antidepressant drugs of other companies, but the completely unrelated voice robots.

The impact of Xiaozhi·smart speakers on Lingbei Pharmaceutical is just like the impact of mobile phones on the camera industry and takeaway on the instant noodle market, which cannot be resisted and reduced.

This is exactly the characteristic of the Internet age. You have no idea where the enemy comes from. A technological breakthrough in an unrelated industry has brought about the demise of a leading company.

According to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 300 million people in the world are currently suffering from depression.

Lundbeck Pharmaceuticals has become a new-generation force in the pharmaceutical market with its "serotonin regulator". Although it is not comparable to industry leaders such as Pfizer, it cannot be underestimated. Who knows that in a blink of an eye, there will be a trend of disappearance. Not only sighed.

However, the public's attention has never been on losers. Since the introduction of small intelligence to prevent depression, the darling of the new generation of gift market has appeared.

The antidepressant has yet to be verified, and the effect of resolving loneliness is immediate.

Xiaozhi can communicate with people of all ages by virtue of his witty and witty conversation, a lifeless personality, and a wealth of knowledge.

It immediately became a must-have for the empty nest elderly, so that wanderers far away would show a little filial piety.
