1. 到目前为止，AI是一种生产力工具，而不是娱乐工具。即便用于娱乐领域（比如游戏），AI也是提 升娱乐体验的生产力工具。 本文来自微信公众号：扯氮集，作者：魏武挥二世，题图来自：视觉中国 9. 但AI没有疑问地提升了全人类的下限。 10. 人类社会从来是一小撮人统治一大群人。好的社会其实是全体下限上升。虽然AI统治人类并非好 事，但肯定比人类统治人类强。而绝大多数人，比如你，反正都是要被统治的。 11. 你自己出去买菜，买了价高质次的，你会痛骂黑心商家。但如果你的管家出去买菜，买了价高质次 的，你会认为管家背叛了你。所以，AI agent是分供给侧和你这一侧的。你的情感截然不同。 2. 所以，PC桌面端会复兴，而且已经有迹象表明了这一点。 3. 我对AI成瘾说相当的不以为然。当年还有每天上网六小时会网瘾的说法。不过，对于某些特质人 群，在极端情况下可能会成瘾。但这不是啥了不得的大问题。 4. AI依赖没有什么恐怖的。你依赖的东西多了去。比如说，你是依赖衣服的。 5. 需要担心的不是AI做错了，AI幻觉不值一提，那种忧心忡忡如杞人忧天般可笑，纯属为赋新词强说 愁。要担心的事是，AI不断地做对了。这就像阿法尔狗 ...
