The last time I heard the term "cooling off period" was when everyone was discussing the "cooling off period for divorce". Recently, I often see the term "cooling off period" due to the declining popularity of AI. It is commonly known as the "AI cooling off period" .
1、
In the first half of the year, some new AI technologies and AI products came out every once in a while, triggering the public's pursuit of AI. During this period, I guess everyone can feel that AI has become quiet and silent in China. .
Even ChatGPT, which was first out of the spotlight, saw a decline in active users on the website in June. As for the large models that come out every now and then in China, I remember that a picture of domestic large models was circulated some time ago. It was densely packed with various large models. Except for Baidu’s Wen Xinyiyan, as the first large model in China to follow, it initially attracted people’s attention. It has attracted a lot of attention, but for the rest, maybe everyone has no impression of them.
Let’s face it, there really aren’t any great Chinese models in China. Large models can only be done by giants, not small and medium-sized companies. But so far, I have never seen a large model that can be used, and I have never seen one that can even compete with PK. Therefore, the entire domestic AI ecosystem is now Not established yet.
I saw a Github before, saying that domestic large models are dancing like crazy, and more than 100 large models will be released by the end of the year. So in order to have more convincing data, he collected domestic large models and put them on Github. Finally, he found a domestic large model. The secret, this secret is a three-step model, pick a good name, create an official website, and hold a press conference.
Of course, all joking aside, if AI really wants to make a big splash again, there will definitely need to be some giants like Google and Microsoft in China to establish an ecosystem and mobilize people. We still have to be optimistic.

Leaving aside the large models, there are also a lot of other miscellaneous AI tool product websites, but it seems that they all have one thing in common, that is, they disappear after being busy for a few days.
What's the meaning? Take this sentence posted by our planet golfers as an example, everyone will feel it more:
It feels like those Douyin/video accounts/Xiaohongshu/official accounts that talk about amazing AI tools all day long, about how awesome domestic AI is, etc. are all charging advertising fees and bragging. I have tried a few before, but none of them worked. The only difference is the seller’s show and the buyer’s show. In the past month, no matter what these self-media boasts, I have stopped reading them. Anyway, the big models are focused on ChatGPT and Claude2, and the AI paintings are focused on SD and MJ. The rest are just scum... Looking back, I used to know Many of the people who were publicized about GPT have now disappeared... So now I have formed a strategy: whatever you want, I will use you again in 3 months, as long as you are still there.
Many people who are paying attention to AI should have the same feeling as him.
Really, if it can last for 3 months and still feels useful, you can pay attention to using it. If it doesn't work, you just go out and follow the wind, then don't waste time and energy on experiencing various new products. Cao Da published an article before , in which he mentioned, “As for new product reviews, you can ignore most of them and only learn about the best products.
As the golfer mentioned above, it is enough to identify ChatGPT for large models and MJ for AI paintings. Specifically, if it comes to corresponding professional requirements, then find a suitable combination. For example, for programming, ChatGPT can be combined with copilot. For those with professional drawing requirements and industry applications that require self-built models, Stable Diffusion+civitai can be combined, etc.
For the rest, don’t waste your energy on experiencing various new products.

As for now, everyone no longer talks about AI before and after meals every day, and no longer thinks about what industries or jobs AI can replace.
This is a good thing. AI has a cooling-off period, which is a good thing.
Because the cooling-off period can help us see the essence of the matter better.
Here I will briefly add some AI phenomena I have seen recently:
First, I still firmly believe that there are still great opportunities for AI applications, mainly for the following reasons:
First, I feel that there are no popular products in AI applications so far. The only product I saw a while ago is Miaoya. Second, AI applications are not easy to use, and there will always be various imperfections. locality; third is environmental issues.
In fact, this is the same as the Internet. We have gone through a whole cycle of the Internet. At the beginning, when the Internet came out, most people didn’t know what it could be used for, and most people also felt that Internet applications were not easy to use.
For example, sending Fetion is so troublesome, you might as well make a phone call; online shopping is so unreliable and requires no experience, you have to go offline to pay money, and you have to pick it up at a designated place to get express delivery, which is troublesome, difficult to use, and impractical. .
At that time, no one knew that the Internet would develop to the point where it is now. The Internet is present in all walks of life and in every aspect of life. Who would have thought.
I think this is the same as AI. And as far as I know, there are still many investors investing in many AI applications. Some are very segmented and have areas for professional use scenarios. There are many opportunities, such as AI tattoos, AI manicure, AI models, AI Programming and so on.
In the future, a number of such AI companies will surely emerge in China.
Second, there are huge opportunities for AI to go overseas. If you are still paying attention to AI, you should have seen a recent batch of articles about AI going overseas. Many overseas AI product tools are made by domestic developer teams, and All have good profits.
Coupled with the current environment, the opportunities in overseas markets are really huge. When I heard my team members tell me that there are people on the planet making money, my first reaction was to see if I could bring them in and help everyone make money. Make money, because whether I am making products or services, I am very optimistic about overseas markets.
Third, it is a commonplace point. For us personally, we still need to use it. By using it, both your professional abilities and your sideline abilities will have the opportunity to double. For example, our planet recently conducted related practical operations. After reading the reviews of many people after participating, some people can really start their own side jobs by directly learning these AI tools.
Just like what everyone often said before, if you can't do it yourself, it's all the fault of the environment. People who can really do it, no matter how the external environment changes, people who can do it can still do it.
In the same way, just like using and learning these AI products, they all advocate a cooling-off period for AI. When it is useless, you should use it.
Although it's a cooling off period now, it's the best time for you to use it right now.
The first point mentioned in the previously published article " When faced with AI, ordinary people should do these 3 things first" is: use it first , otherwise nothing else will be useful.
Finally, I want to talk about a very good product recently. It is a paid tool for learning programming with AI. I originally thought it was made by an individual. After contacting me, I found out that it was made by a company and has tens of thousands of users. After experiencing it, my first feeling is that AI is really slowly changing the industry.
It’s just that many people haven’t had in-depth contact with it, or haven’t used it at all, so they can’t sense it.
