业务上我们经常会碰到一个问题——预算、质量和时间的不可能三角，比如甲方总是要预算低、质量高、 时间短，但是创作者做不到，因为人的生产效率存在边界。 AI的出现，或许能打破这个边界？ 创作了好内容，却成不了爆款，没有转化，怎么办？ AI带来的时代红利，我们到底怎么用好？ AI驱动的自动化内容工厂，如何搭建？ 本周六，特赞科技创始人范凌博士在混沌直播间为大家解开以上疑惑，并带大家摸清用好AI杠杆的10个关 键支点，让你的企业用起AI来事半功倍。特赞科技服务了200+全球领先品牌，助力过品牌在智能时代的指 数级增长。 范凌说："AI其实不是真的在创造，而是把人的创造能力更低成本地复制。" 我自己做的是一家技术公司，只做1到无穷的技术产品。但我们做1到无穷的前提是认可0到1的价值。很多 做技术的朋友，只觉得要做一到无穷，不停地复制，不停地混剪。但我不这么认为，我觉得要有好的0到 1，才会有好的1到无穷。我们没有办法做一堆很粗制滥造的东西，然后让AI生成更多的视觉垃圾。 用户是动态的 你的理解方式也应是动态的 社媒监控系统，会去爬大量的社媒数据，试图总结消费者是怎么想的。我对此有深深的问号：第一个问号 是一旦数据被爬下 ...
