"You are now a nutritionist, please generate a scientific and reasonable weight loss recipe." AI enthusiast Zhang Yi asked the question through the "AI Dialogue Master".
"I am now your exclusive nutritionist, and the following are the recipes I tailor-made for you..." In less than 2 minutes, a text version of the reply appeared in the dialog box. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi was about to output content through more intelligent options, and the software customer service popped up a dialog box, showing "Enter membership to unlock more AI functions." He inquired through customer service phone calls and learned that he could get more experience through training courses or recharge software memberships, brand agents, etc.
With the rapid development of the AI field, various training courses are emerging one after another, and agents are constantly renovating. "1 Yuan Experience Class", "0 Yuan Entry into the New Trend" and other low-price entry points, and then selling products, members, materials, and brands at high prices for "AI skills realization", will it be the next "trend" or a new crop of "leeks"? The public called him "lost his eyes".
Make money from "career anxiety"?
a i vocational training is in high demand
Through Douyin, Xiaohongshu, WeChat, Bilibili and other platforms, you can see ai live classes launched by various software companies and training institutions. From time to time, people ask: "Is there any officially recommended ai training?" "Can brand agents make money while learning technology?" With the development of AI technology and the expansion of application fields, the development trend of AI vocational training market continues to be strong.
Recently, reporters interviewed professionals from different positions such as law, advertising, sales, public relations, insurance, banking, translation, logistics, etc., to understand their needs for learning and application of AI. 80% of the respondents said that they want to deal with the impact of AI technology on the workplace through various ways, among which participating in course training is one of the main ways. "Even our teachers talk about AI writing in class and call on everyone to actively explore the AI track." said a student in the journalism department of Shandong Normal University.
The person in charge of Shandong Dream Valley Entrepreneurship Assistance Center told reporters that Dream Valley has introduced domestic advanced AI development teams and requires all employees to actively move closer to AI. With the arrival of the development team, Dream Valley will start AI deep learning.
At 6:27 pm on April 8, Zhang Yi entered a corporate community of 259 people through the online guidance of Xixi, the account manager of Fengbian Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. He experienced two hours of AI training through links such as classes, experiences, and live broadcasts posted in the group.
"I have made an appointment to participate in the live broadcast learning on time at 7:30 p.m." Within 45 seconds, 35 students interacted online. Zhang Yi said, “I once again feel the enthusiasm of people in the workplace to learn AI.” In the
live broadcast class, the training teacher emphasized to the students that AI design is suitable for “newbies” who lack professional skills in painting and photography and can help generate suitable material resources. , is a “zero threshold, practical and profitable skill”.
"What should I do if I want to use the software again after the trial class?" When Zhang Yi asked the teaching assistant in the live broadcast room, the other party said that he could sign up for an ai training course worth 2996 yuan, and he would enjoy "20 times ai artist + 100 ai dialogue masters" times" and other corresponding membership rights. A reporter's investigation by
found that AI training is mostly geared towards three types of students. First, AI training is carried out for enterprises. This type of price is relatively high and generally charges more than 10,000 yuan. For example, an AI training launched by a technology company shows that it lasts 6 hours, is completed in one day, and has a tuition fee of nearly 20,000 yuan. It can simultaneously It can accommodate 100 people; secondly, AI training for people in the industry, such as: 2 days of duration, tuition of nearly 10,000 yuan, 25 types of courses available, for operation and maintenance personnel, system engineers, developers, architects, security engineers, data Analysts and other occupations; thirdly, for "newbies" who just want to improve work efficiency or enter the AI track, the course is online for 2999 yuan. The course outline is to explain the operation of AI software developed by enterprises, and the monetization channel is through websites and design companies. Waiting to receive business orders, there will be additional charges for re-using the ai tools after the course.
tricks to "make money"?
becomes an agent and can self-price courses
A reporter's investigation found that there are various forms of entry into the AI track. In addition to training courses, software experience membership, etc., there are also AI software brand franchises and partner recruitment.
html On April 15, Wang Yuandong, a self-media practitioner, was attracted by a software pushed by the CIIC AI project.Zhu Ruixue, the person in charge of the project, said, "After becoming a partner, you can not only provide independent AI and chatgpt software systems, but also build your own brand as a partner, create an independent operating system, and customize the agency commission ratio." She said , the price of project partners is 19,800 yuan and 50,000 yuan."How to make money?" Faced with Wang Yuandong's question, Zhu Ruixue's answer was that there are five ways: promoting software membership and ai courses, promoting aigc skill certificates, recruiting personal agents, and introducing project partners. "Take software membership promotion as an example. The membership price is 68 yuan for a monthly card, 198 yuan for an annual card, and 399 yuan for a lifetime card. If your pricing is the same as ours, for example, a monthly card of 68 yuan, you will settle with us 5 yuan per member per month. yuan, and the remaining 63 yuan is your personal income," Zhu Ruixue introduced.
"What about the AI courses that are now popular all over the Internet? How to make money?" Wang Yuandong asked again. "AI online courses include GPT practical courses for 399 yuan, AI painting courses for 699 yuan, and AIGC pilot/advanced courses for 2,980 yuan. After you become a partner, these AI courses will be given to you for free, and the price is customized. Selling You will earn as much as you take classes." Zhu Ruixue replied.
People are keen on AI learning and strive to have intelligent skills at their fingertips.
Are you afraid of being "cut off leeks"?
"a i+" quality varies
As an Internet practitioner, citizen Wang Ke often receives part-time business orders such as text typesetting, ppt production, and poster production. Since the release of chatgpt, she has been studying how to use AI tools to improve work efficiency.
"Behind AI is the continuous updating of computing power." But Wang Ke also expressed concerns, "The advanced payment model from a few yuan to thousands of yuan makes people not only afraid of missing learning opportunities, but also worried about the many payment routines. The quality of teaching is not good, and I am cut off as a 'leek'."
In fact, Wang Ke's idea is not an exception. In interviews, professionals from all walks of life also expressed this concern. This has caused a lot of controversy over the ever-popular AI training, agency, franchise or entrepreneurial projects with AI as the core -
"There is not much practical information in the course, and there are more functional introductions than skill training." Zhao, the person in charge of a digital innovation technology company Min believes that individual paid courses are also associated with a large number of online goods delivery, sideline monetization and other content, and these "expansion courses" that have little to do with AI training are precisely the additional charges strongly recommended by training providers.
"If you sign up for a course in the early stage, if you want to use the software to generate prompt words or scripts, create AI tool diagrams, etc., there will still be additional charges." An online platform operator revealed that many courses are bundled with selling products, memberships, and materials. In addition to relying on the use of AI tools and resource charges, other paid items have also been derived.
Wang Chuanlong, a virtual world architect at a game company, pointed out that if popular training and agents are collectively referred to as "a i+", then the overall quality of this training field will be uneven. "People who specialize in this field will not learn. Professionals may not be able to do it even if they learn it."
There is demand in the market
Standards and specifications still need to be improved
"You cannot learn AI in depth, but only superficially understand some software uses, which greatly reduces the significance of such training." The person in charge of Dream Valley also gave a reminder. Zhang Chen, a data analysis engineer at
, gave a "double-sided" view, "We cannot completely deny the rapid aigc engineer. Some of the more basic ai training courses currently on the market can indeed solve the problem of 'high efficiency' in the use of ai tools and competitiveness in the workplace." It improves issues such as "getting started with AI" and is more suitable for professionals in designers, text workers, illustrators, self-media, administration, education and other positions. "
He emphasized that AI training can provide customized experiences based on individual differences. , it can also collect and analyze data in real time to provide more targeted strategies for the dominant players, which are all advantages.
Zhang Chen bluntly said that on the other hand, AI technology and the use of AI tools are two different fields. AI technology is still in the iterative stage, but AI training is booming, which shows that there is real demand in the market. However, the chaos in training also exposes the problem that standards and specifications in this field need to be improved urgently. There are no clear standards, only popular concepts, leaving room for randomness in the curriculum system and arbitrary training fees.
Wang Chuanlong said that developers pay more attention to technology, end users pay more attention to function implementation, and the majority of professionals hope to master skills that improve work efficiency through training. Compared with the former two, the latter's needs are easier to achieve, which is one of the reasons why AI is so popular.
"AI is very worth learning! However, it is difficult to form a systematic training course in the short term. At present, the "virtual fire" of AI training is a bit strong." The reporter saw such a message on the Douyin platform. (Jinan Daily reporter Sun Huijuan)
