came across a Reuters story a while ago, which showed Mao Buyi, Guo Qilin and Wei Daxun recording a program in Changbai Mountain.
The three of them were wearing thick down jackets, and inexplicably walked out of the steps of retired old men...
Mao Buyi even wore Crocs, Maomao, you are not respecting the weather in the Northeast too much, right?
However, the combination of these three people is a bit novel, but if you think about it, it is quite harmonious. I am curious whether Maomao's mouth is more vicious, or our young class leader's bad mouth is the king?
As a result, when the show "The Three of Us" was on, I discovered that the real winner of the outrageous title was AI!
Guo Qilin, Mao Buyi, Wei Daxun
The first batch of AI mice?
When "the three of us" get together, we can automatically start chatting mode.
Two Northeasterners and Tianjin people can chat from Changbai Mountain until the Chinese New Year. Wei Daxun tried to help Guo Qilin to smooth things over, but Guo Qilin "retaliated" with "I don't need you to help me, I can do it myself."
The next topic: Guo Qilin asked Wei Daxun to spend the night in an Internet cafe. Daxun greeted him with a "kick" ~
I could watch a hundred episodes if the three of them bickered and chatted like this, but what distracted them from their chat was the "No. Four people” - AI director Ai Mang.
They also became the first batch of guinea pigs to record programs with AI directors.
What is Aimang?
is an AI and a variety show director (seems to be the number one in domestic entertainment). It is said to be an artificial intelligence born from collecting data such as the producer's face, voice, and knowledge reserves.
In other words, it’s just a “gathering” of variety show directors (Are you under any pressure at Wang Tian Studio?). What
does is mainly to give tasks to the guests, such as asking the three of them to pick up the equipment and shoot vlogs. Just debugging the equipment to shoot faces made the three children excited for a while.
Once they were given instructions by the AI director, they also became AI-style, shooting vlogs while eating, and their style changed like this:
Guo Qilin: "(The food tastes) good." Wei Daxun then said: "Not bad."
Guo Qilin: "What is this Yanji flavor?" Wei Daxun: "Maybe this is Yanji flavor."
Guo Qilin was speechless: "Why are you always trying to imitate me?" The painting style was so confusing that it looked like AIs fighting each other, laughing Till my head falls off.
Then besides giving orders, what else can the AI director do? You can't just be a notification machine, right?
As I continued reading, I really discovered that it was a little different. It did more than just indoor self-service shooting.
The way they interact with AI
is very similar to me who trained chatgpt
Careful friends must have discovered that in the past two years, the industry has followed the trend and put a lot of effort into AI. Before
, there were AI videos produced, and later there were virtual hosts who hosted the evening party. However, this is the first time that an AI director has been deeply involved in a model like "The Three of Us". The idea of
is indeed a bit different.
Other variety show directors select candidates by considering the location and personality of the guests, and the AI directly pulls out the database. These three people were selected because they have natural friendships and can produce good program effects together.
Like Guo Qilin and Wei Daxun, they are travel partners. They had even made an appointment to go to the Wuzhen Theater Festival together. Anyone who can go out and play together is definitely considered a good friend.
Although Mao Buyi doesn't like to go out, he still has a close relationship with Guo Qilin. It is said that Mao Buyi took the initiative to send a private message to Guo Qilin on Weibo, saying that he liked him very much, and then the two successfully held hands (bushi.
Wei Daxun and Mao Buyi are both from the Northeast, and they are naturally "acquainted". These three people Together, they really have harmonious personalities and are "lazy" enough.
None of the three could choose a hard-working one. This is such a tacit understanding.
When actually applied to the show, the AI director also brought a lot of conveniences. There are two Use the brush.
It can become an atmosphere booster and answer all kinds of weird questions from the artists. Maomao no longer has to worry about not being able to think of questions and being left alone.
It can also solve unexpected problems, and even responds faster because of the characteristics of AI. In the
program, three people were driving when their car was blocked by snow and the car was forced to get stuck. Many enthusiastic villagers came to help push the cart, but they couldn't push it.
At this time, Aimang quickly gave a solution: you can put on the snow mode to prevent the wheels from spinning, and then slowly accelerate forward.
Don't tell me, just follow the AI director's tutorial and the car actually starts to move. Sure enough, technology changes life.
But AI is not a human being after all. It cannot sense people’s physical and emotional changes so sensitively. It can only adjust and learn through human feedback. It is inevitable that there will be pitfalls when you first start using it.
As Dalinzi said, the cultivation of AI requires the support of some data and their cultivation.
The guide like Ai arranged a snowmobile activity for the three of them, but did not take into account the weather and the artist's clothing that day, and did not inform them of the precautions.
As a result, the three of them were so cold and messy in the wind that they were so embarrassed that they couldn't manage their expressions.
The better thing is that Aimang is easy to talk to.
will delete the previous ferocious expressions upon request and edit handsome vlogs for the guests, and will never let go of the dark history that should not be shown.
Responding to all requests and answering all questions are also the characteristics of AI directors, but "answering questions that are not what was asked" or "reading random replies" are also bugs of artificial intelligence.
is like chatgpt. When I use it to write outlines, I am often dumbfounded by its answers.
visually estimated that it will take some time for the AI director to become smoother with humans.
Can ai directors replace real directors?
Here comes the question, is AI Director really easy to use? Can it replace a real director?
Judging from the current "guinea pig test bureau", the AI director is more like a reliable travel companion, providing some practical strategies and specific itinerary arrangements for artists' self-guided winter travel.
can also become part of the "variety show feel", where you can chat with guests and relieve the awkward silence.
And if the materials uploaded by artists can be processed quickly by AI, it will also relieve a lot of the work of the director, making their work more efficient and allowing them to spend more time with their family and friends.
Even if the AI is well trained, you can even be a guest in variety shows. It is recommended that various observation room variety shows include an AI commentary. Maybe AI can output calmer and more rational emotional secrets from the perspective of artificial intelligence.
But if you want to create a more complex program with a director's unique style, the current AI director still cannot replace a real director, and some "technical work" must be done by real people.
But what I think is the most interesting point is that while the ai director is leading the variety show, the artists and us off-screen have also become "observation room guests" . Through the program, we slowly observe whether AI and humans can live in harmony.
From this perspective, this variety show has a kind of variety-loving feeling~ Will humans and AI go in a single direction or in both directions? We will have to watch a few more episodes to find out.
I don’t care about the trio of "The Three of Us", I will first pay respect to you
But put it in the entire internal entertainment, ai may become the next electronic catfish that stirs up the market. If different ai appear in different variety shows, then it may It is a new round of "technological competition".
Sister E’s conclusion
Watching variety shows directed by AI is quite magical, and you often feel like you have strayed into the 2.5 dimension.
But when technology tools are used well, it might not be a labor-saving way. Sometimes when I encounter emergencies or hot topics, I will ask AI to mark "key points" for me. Although it may not be easy to use, it also provides a thinking angle and direction.
In "The Three of Us", the AI director is still a novice in variety shows and cannot get it right in one step and handle it smoothly. There will be bugs such as "strong" commands and "random read returns", but after tuning, the future is promising.
In fact, from the perspective of the audience, when we watch variety shows, what we want to see is a certain "stimulating point", which is either funny, decompressing, heartwarming, and healing; or it is brain-burning, reversal, and non-stop highlight. It would also be great if the AI director could accurately obtain the program effects that humans are interested in through data and present them perfectly.
Maybe one day, AI directors can really become one of the "top players in the expensive industry". Thinking about it, I am really looking forward to it ~
