From the well-known news that Alpha Dog defeated Ke Jie, the question of "How big is the potential of artificial intelligence" began to appear in the public's field of vision. If "Terminator" series movies fictionalize the profound disasters brought by computers to human beings, do we really need to worry that computers will replace human beings in the process of AI gradually evolving from "weak" to "strong"?
Such a seemingly infinite prospect requires infinite assumptions, but I want to explain it with perceptual thinking: if the day of "man-machine war" really comes, artificial intelligence can't defeat human beings-they have no civilization that can't last for thousands of years, they have no unity with the outside world, and they have no courage to face difficulties and persevere.
In my opinion, the most advantageous weapon for human beings is positive emotions. "I'm not worried that artificial intelligence will make computers think like humans. I am more worried that human beings will think like computers and lose their values and sympathy regardless of the consequences. " Apple President Cook said.
We can't deny that there is also a negative category in human feelings: selfishness, ruthlessness and greed are also feelings. But such feelings are mostly based on rational thinking about themselves, and the real sensibility is based on actions-values and compassion. In my opinion, reason can never overcome sensibility.
Give the most vivid example: "The history of the Chinese nation is a history of struggle." This sentence must have been heard by countless people. Since ancient times, the working people have been oppressed by the imperial power and engaged in miserable and meaningless labor like machinery, which has made people's lives lose their original meaning and violated people's self-worth in life before they revolted again and again; So far. The unity of the anti-fascist alliance in World War II and China's lofty help in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea witnessed the strength inspired by sympathy for the weak. Throughout history, sensibility represented by values and compassion can always win hard-won victories in the face of rationality represented by selfishness and ruthlessness.
Or perhaps, in today's society, ruthless evil is only a minority after all-people will naturally condemn those crimes committed for themselves out of reason, but as human beings, it will always be a combination of reason and sensibility-every man takes the hindmost for himself, and I believe everyone can clearly realize that his own interests will always have irreplaceable importance. I don't think the two are contradictory. Naturally, a person can try his best to seek benefits for himself, but at the same time, we will praise a little girl for catching falling objects from the overpass with open arms. Will bless every lucky person in my heart and comfort the unfortunate; Even, just a minute's silence for the death of a cute online celebrity cat ... Sensibility is not necessarily better than rationality, but it is always more important than rationality.
In Greek mythology, Zeus sent Pandora to the lower world in order to punish mankind. In the box she holds, there are disasters, diseases and sins, and the hope at the bottom of the box, in my opinion, is that precious sensibility-maybe the world will always be a rational world and society will always be a rational society, but as long as there is emotional fire, we will always have hope.
