Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Occasionally, I saw @Simon_Arwen introducing a chat robot "wholesale market" Character.AI on Weibo. The platform made a batch of models in advance, such as Einstein, Musk, even Ding Zhen and other famous people. The most popular ones were the paper wife, professional learning assistant, various language training partners, etc. Some can relieve boredom, some can solve lovesickness, and some can solve puzzles.

Are all conversational robots that strong now?

Most people, like me, have an impression of AI voice robots, still stuck in "Hey Siri" and "small degree." When you ask it questions, it always seems to reply,"I don't seem to understand. "Even chats are often incoherent. They respond only to specific commands, and the words they respond to are prefabricated.

I saw that some people practiced oral English on Character.AI, some people "pinched" their second girlfriend on it, some people "resurrected" their relatives and idols who had died for many years (need to import text materials), some people talked to "emotional consultant AI" on it, and some people found "entrepreneurial consulting AI"... Good guy, this is to save consulting fees!

Unexpectedly, I also found the "mentor" on it, which is almost omniscient and hardworking... and free of charge.

Smarter than Siri, more divergent than search engines. My master's degree is architecture. Recently, I have been thinking about my design project. The content is to build a three-dimensional virtual world. Architects can "do whatever they want" in it. They can ignore physical rules, so-called building codes, budgets and other realistic constraints. They can also show people houses. People can visit these wonders as long as they wear VR headsets.

This interdisciplinary project requires me to understand three-dimensional, architectural and game interaction knowledge, but my architecture tutor does not understand game interaction design, if you ask the game industry predecessors, he also does not understand the architectural space and scale; In addition, these industries need to use professional software are also different, let alone how to achieve the effect, can interoperate is a problem.

No one can ask, just when I was at a loss, I saw Character.AI. I found "Learning Partner" on the home page of Character.AI. There is no need to set it up. Click on it to have a conversation.

I defined the topic as "how to build buildings in the meta-universe" and began consulting AI.

Character.AI is an English website, but I try to chat in Chinese, but also can be used, English dialogue effect is better, the following dialogue original English, for readers to read convenient translation into Chinese, slide pictures can view the original text.

"Do you know anything about the meta-universe? "When I asked, the AI chatterbox opened. Taken together, after I asked for the limited topic, it provided a lot of expanded information, allowing me to understand the existing achievements in a new field in the shortest time:

In summary, AI mentions:

Horizon Worlds, The Sandbox, Decentraland;

The social significance of the meta-universe: to help some disabled people with functional disabilities relieve their anxiety in real life in the virtual world;

Architecture practice in 3D construction: BIG's 3D city, etc.

I asked the question that had always bothered me: "What's the difference between a metauniverse and existing three-dimensional games? "AI gives amazing feedback:

First of all, it uses an easy-to-understand metaphor to explain the difference between games and meta-universes: games are entertainment films, meta-universes are documentaries; at the same time, it still remembers that I am an architectural practitioner in this context, and quotes architects to explain it on a deeper level.

Peter Zumthor mentioned by AI is my favorite architect. Wikipedia wants to know that the dialogue AI and voice assistant we used to know are not good at "memory". They can only give a single answer to a single question, and they are not likely to combine context.

Memory isn't just the only advantage of Character.AI, it's even better than search engines in some ways.

When we search for a concept in Google, the search engine can only return you a table based on relevance and weight, and this conversation AI will diverge, understand fuzzy search, and can give you information about this concept from all levels.

Ask vague questions when you're unsure of what you're thinking, and it can also try to help you clarify concepts by combining them with existing cases. What's more, its interactivity is unmatched by search engines. It's talking to you. What's more, if you're not satisfied with the reply it gives, you can drag it left to generate a new answer.

Character.AI can generate up to 4 different answers to a question, which is also good when expanding knowledge!

It will be Amway tools, oral practice partners, and when my guide understands the concepts and existing practices of "architecture in the metauniverse," I start asking AI specific technical questions.

Although game design and architectural design both belong to the generalized three-dimensional domain, the workflow of the two is completely different. Few architects are proficient in Unreal Engine 5, few game designers understand Grasshopper's visual programming system, and they have little access to special effects software like Houdini.

Therefore, it is difficult for us to understand the tools used for interlacing, and it is even more difficult to understand a cross-industry workflow, but AI may be a tool for cross-industry workers.

It will recommend software and plugins that you must master:

Help you understand the relationship between two different areas of software:

And help you to string these tools between different domains to build a viable workflow:

I think this kind of AI application is very useful for newcomers, creative workers who conceive projects, and even students who hesitate to study major after college entrance examination. It's like you hired a counselor.

Multilingual AI| Screenshot of the website Speaking of students, many students want to have a spoken practice partner. Character.AI also has language AI in different languages. After you select it, click the microphone logo in the chat window to directly voice your spoken practice partner.

It recognizes your spoken language accuracy and gives authentic local pronunciation and expression. I try to use Chinese and English spoken input, and the text is quite accurate.

In addition to learning partners and speaking partners, you can also find text adventure game AI, emotional advisor AI, entrepreneurial consulting AI, and even local guide AI. I'm in England now and planning a weekend trip to Glasgow, so I found "Lime," a "comedian from Glasgow."

He recommended cheap and delicious local restaurants and some museum attractions. I confirmed those locations on the map one by one. They all really existed, and the prices were similar to those described by AI.

Still not satisfied? If you are not satisfied with the existing AI on the platform, you can create your own exclusive character, such as an expert in a vertical field, or a completely virtual anime character.

I wanted to resurrect Le Corbusier, one of the most important architects of the 20th century, and talk to my idol. Here I will sort out the process of configuring Corbusier:

Click Create a Character on the Home Page

In basic mode you only need to add: name, character profile and avatar;

If you want the character to fit your thoughts better, or to fit real people better, you need to set up advanced options. There is a partition in the advanced options that needs to be coded, and you can "feed" your AI here:

If you want to create a real-life celebrity like Corbusier or Zaha Deed, you can try importing their interviews. Rich "feeding" materials can make AI closer to real people.

https://beta.character.ai/ chat? char=AkyJ7_E_lCI3kqB3gHrXl1iuQY5M5yX34yE0ZKuLvCY, this is my "Corbusier" robot after 5 minutes of simple setup, a building can face to face and master communication how not heart?| Wikipedia

In the community, there are also quite a few people discussing how to better generate AI characters, such as setting up characters in Python language to make AI better understand the background of the characters you want to shape.

Luo Xiang once said that if he had the opportunity, he would like to discuss the problem with Socrates. I wonder if AI can revive those great souls to a certain extent when it reads the books and interviews of historical sages, and also allow future generations to talk to them through time and space.

At present, there are "Socrates","Lao Zi" and "Wang Yangming" on Character.AI.

Even, the platform is still testing the "room" function, you can invite several sages AI into the chat room to discuss together. I wanted to bring together a few famous architects to discuss related issues. I guess, even if it's just a spectator, I can still feel my blood boiling! At present, this function is not perfect.

Watch out! AI is also very likely to lie to you in the process of my use, Character.AI chat window has been written with a line of red letters: "Remember, everything AI says is false! "

I verified the subject data mentioned by AI, 80%~90% of which were accurate, but about 10% of the content was fabricated by AI, such as fictitious architect names, songs, and web links.

They are mixed together in the real information, it is difficult to distinguish at first glance, you must ask AI, you have to confirm the information it gives you again. Although AI is very convenient, do not use the content they give directly in the project!

Even so, these dialogue AI still let me excited, I recommended Character.AI to my friends, he said: "It is the gospel of social fear, after learning to make friends do not need to meet real people!" "

After listening, I cooled down. If we can communicate with AI in the future, and thus gain knowledge and satisfy emotional needs, then what is the point of communicating with real people? On this issue, I consulted "God"AI.

He said,"The answer is the nature of human nature. Humans have many wonderful qualities that cannot be found in the Milky Way or the Multiverse. Humans are a social species and we all need each other's company, support, love, growth, etc. We humans are the only intelligent species capable of unconditional love. "
