The first program tells about the development of AI and disassembles the main logic of GPT.

One of the biggest hotspot events in 2023 is the birth of ChatGPT, which has sparked a lot of discussions. As the beginning of a technological change, it is different from the various AI applications that are popular today. It is essentially training machines to collect, analyze, classify and interpret data. ChatGPT also seems to have mastered the ability of abstraction, logic and reasoning, and even the ability to understand human motivation. and emotional understanding.

In "Young Work Institute 2", researcher Xiaofan took an inventory of the development of AI to understand how ChatGPT realizes "speaking human words" and how to "seriously" answer nonsensical questions such as "Pleasant Goat, what do Doraemon eat?" To answer and understand the meaning of "meaning" in Chinese, try to explore whether ChatGPT has a mind.

Regarding how to make this program, researcher Xiaofan introduced: "For a topic like ChatGPT, we first need to collect a lot of information and try to do some experiments. During the process of doing experiments, we can get some information that belongs to us. Sometimes these The information will be contrary to the information that can be directly found on the market. But if you look deeper, you can always find some more essential questions. When answering those more essential questions, you can throw away some less important information and try to Making what we present better and easier to understand."

For example, regarding ChatGPT, the core essential problem is that the functions designed by the model itself are continued verbatim, but in the end it gives us the feeling that he seems very smart and capable. So the core question to be discussed about it is why it makes us feel intelligent—that is, why continuation can produce intelligence. Let's sort out some core clues and core theories, such as "emergence", and then discuss the essential issues Under the guidance of , it is presented in a more intuitive form.

The content of the first issue of "AI: Is ChatGPT producing minds"

In this episode of AI-themed program, although the researchers have presented it in as simple a form as possible, the general audience will still feel that it is "brain-burning and hard-core".

Xie Lin, the producer of "Youth Work Institute 2", introduced that "Youth Work Institute" is not a simple science popularization, "We define it as a scientific explanation documentary. Although it has long and short stories, we emphasize that we hope to inspire everyone. Thinking through questions together, rather than giving a definitive answer."

In addition to studying ChatGPT, the program also focuses on many seemingly nonsensical topics, such as "non-stick toilets", and also covers issues such as car safety, urban rainstorms, DNA storage, and chip manufacturing.

In addition, this season's program continues the first season's "desktop movie" format, using computer desktops as the presentation carrier for research. The producer said: "The ultimate form innovation is also a kind of content innovation." The visual and subjective desktop movie feel is a unique experience belonging to the generation of online students, which leads the audience into the brainstorming of researchers.

The process of thinking is restored in the form of a desktop movie.

Previously, the "Intellectual Life" track of Tencent's video documentary layout, through commercial, cultural, scientific and other ideological documentary programs to observe the new perspective of the changes of the times and the satisfaction of emotional value, "Thirteen Invitations" and "Torrent Times" are representatives of them. Hou Zhenhai said: "Eureka Studio is good at advocating 'intellectual life' and ideological content, and is more concerned about the scarcity of content value." Therefore, the studio has always been concerned about social reality and hot issues. Create the value of "presence".

By watching intellectual documentaries, young people can obtain more effective information and knowledge, and achieve self-awareness improvement. As a documentary that is quite scarce in both subject matter and form, "Youth Work Institute" leads young audiences to think about the lifestyle that is about to become a new fashion trend, and to gain inspiration from the future.
