How I feel about AI

How I feel about AI / 我对人工智能的感受

I feel surprise at how well neural networks work. LLMs work like “gut feeling” as they just generate one more token after another. There is no planning or reasoning algorithm inside. Yet, some planning and reasoning emerges. 我对神经网络表现出的强大能力感到惊讶。大语言模型(LLM)的工作方式就像一种“直觉”,它们只是一个接一个地生成 Token。其内部并没有规划或推理算法,但某种规划和推理能力却随之涌现了。

I feel fear about an impending doom. Yudkowsky’s argument that a superintelligent AI will inevitably destroy humanity seems to have no flaw. Yet, nobody seriously tries to sandbox AIs because they are too useful with access. 我对迫在眉睫的灾难感到恐惧。尤德考斯基(Yudkowsky)关于“超人工智能将不可避免地毁灭人类”的论点似乎无懈可击。然而,没有人真正尝试将 AI 隔离在沙盒中,因为它们在联网状态下实在太好用了。

I feel disgust about AI companies destroying the open web society. Their crawlers and agents make it increasingly difficult to sustain an open community on the web. Like a locust plague, they descend on any open wiki and forum and overwhelm them. 我对 AI 公司摧毁开放网络社会的行为感到厌恶。它们的爬虫和代理程序使得在网络上维持一个开放社区变得越来越困难。它们像蝗灾一样降临在任何开放的维基和论坛上,并将它们淹没。

I feel sad about the artists who suffer due to AI-slop competition. Being an artist always required some sacrifice and only a few are fortunate to gain some wealth. This is even harder now that AI can generate some kinds of “content” cheaper and faster. 我为那些因 AI 垃圾内容竞争而受苦的艺术家们感到难过。成为一名艺术家总是需要做出牺牲,只有少数幸运儿能获得财富。而现在,由于 AI 能以更低廉、更快捷的方式生成某些类型的“内容”,艺术家的处境变得更加艰难。

I feel anger about the inability of our political systems to rein in the power of capital. While I can rant about politicians a lot, I still prefer a democratic government to have power instead of billionaires. It essentially just comes down to making some decisions in a coordinated way, but most people are not even aware of the problem. This also covers the environmental destruction by AI companies as they greedily gobble up all kinds of resources. 我对政治体制无法约束资本力量感到愤怒。虽然我可以对政客们大加指责,但我仍然宁愿权力掌握在民主政府手中,而不是亿万富翁手中。这本质上归结为以协调的方式做出决策,但大多数人甚至没有意识到这个问题。这也涵盖了 AI 公司在贪婪地吞噬各种资源时对环境造成的破坏。

I feel happy to live in this age of discovery. We might observe the creation of artificial intelligence. Working in software development, the practice was radically transformed forever in 2026. It is fascinating to observe this firsthand. It allows me to generate stuff (code, images, music) which would never have been created otherwise. 我很高兴能生活在这个发现的时代。我们或许正在见证人工智能的诞生。作为一名软件开发者,我亲历了 2026 年软件开发实践被彻底改变的过程。能亲眼观察到这一切令人着迷。它让我能够生成那些原本永远不会被创造出来的东西(代码、图像、音乐)。

As a conclusion, does the good or the bad outweigh the other? It seems positive on a technological level to me, but bleak on a societal level. (I used Mistral as reviewer here. I typed every word myself.) © 2026-09-06 总之,利大于弊还是弊大于利?在我看来,从技术层面看它是积极的,但从社会层面看却显得黯淡。(我在这里使用了 Mistral 作为审阅工具。每一个字都是我亲手敲下的。)© 2026-09-06
