When literary and artistic creation meets artificial intelligence
Write poetry, paint, compose music, dance, hold concerts, be a host... In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to intervene in literary and artistic creation activities. While enriching literary and artistic creation methods and literary expression forms, it has also Traditional literary and artistic concepts and artistic forms have had a huge impact. Can artificial intelligence literature and art become a new type of literature and art that can keep pace with human literature and art? Can it become a subjective creation free from human instructions? From the current point of view, although artificial intelligence has brought a refreshing literary and artistic landscape, the future of artificial intelligence literature and art still has a long way to go.

Artificial intelligence literature and art is in its infancy
Artificial intelligence relies on massive data, is based on specific algorithms, and follows certain grammatical rules and procedures to create. Artificial intelligence literature and art is essentially a kind of "database creation". Its imitation of human literary and artistic works is highly dependent on databases. The more comprehensive and rich the samples collected in the database, the more conducive it is to the learning, imitation and creation of artificial intelligence.
Although artificial intelligence has created different types of literary and artistic works such as poetry, calligraphy, oil painting, and music, the so-called works they create are much more immature than human works. Taking the poetry creation that artificial intelligence is relatively "good at" as an example, if we conduct an in-depth analysis of related works, we will find that they are vague, specious, unclear meaning, unclear referent, diverse interpretations, ambiguity, and lack of individuality. common features of the works. They are essentially different from hazy poems created by humans. The latter is an expression of emotion based on real life. However, the generation mechanism and program of poetic works created by artificial intelligence are completely different. It lacks an emotional foundation based on social practice. The essence is The combination of words around keywords and using big data technology reflects the inherent limitations of artificial intelligence literature and art itself.
The development of artificial intelligence in various literary and artistic categories is uneven. It has achieved good development in some fields with strong imitation and regularity (such as dance art), but in more original and regular fields, it has achieved better development. In more complex literary and artistic fields (such as novels), artificial intelligence obviously has no outstanding works worthy of praise. Although artificial intelligence has already begun to create novels, those so-called works can only be regarded as an accumulation of writing materials in the eyes of humans.
It can be seen that artificial intelligence literature and art is still in its infancy and initial stages. Artificial intelligence has not yet established its legitimacy in the field of literature and art, especially in the field of novels. The literary and artistic works created by artificial intelligence still lag far behind human works in terms of artistic heritage and artistic personality. As Professor Wang Chunhong of Lingnan University in Hong Kong said: "At least for a long period of time, artificial intelligence literary products will not be able to reach the level of elegance, so it will be more difficult for us to appreciate them."

human beings have the advantage of subjectivity
Marx proposed in the "1844 Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts" that human beings are "structured according to the laws of beauty", while animals can only narrowly follow the "laws of beauty" Production is carried out according to the "species scale", and physical needs dominate all production purposes. This vividly points out the difference between humans and animals. The difference between humans and artificial intelligence is as great as humans and animals. In the foreseeable future, humans will still have the ability to determine the development direction and use of artificial intelligence, just like a farmer knows what an ax can do, but the ax will not understand the farmer's needs and feelings. To put it more bluntly, artificial intelligence still cannot break away from humans and become a completely independent subject.
Compared with artificial intelligence, humans have comprehensive advantages in literary and artistic creation and can independently carry out creative activities according to their own will. But artificial intelligence can only create after receiving human instructions. The creative process is operated and controlled by humans, and the works created are also designed to meet human aesthetic expectations. Therefore, artificial intelligence is more like a human creative tool and can hardly be called a real creative tool. The subject of literary and artistic creation.
However, artificial intelligence has a certain degree of subjectivity. In the process of artificial intelligence creation, humans issue instructions, control the process, and harvest results, but the "minutiae" of creation are completed by artificial intelligence. The part of the work that humans transfer to artificial intelligence gives artificial intelligence a "sense of existence", that is, a weak subjectivity. For the sake of economic interests, some people in the industry deliberately exaggerate the literary and artistic creation capabilities of artificial intelligence. However, no matter how much they exaggerate, they cannot change the reality that artificial intelligence is still insufficient in its subjectivity in literary and artistic creation.
If one day when engaged in literary and artistic creation, artificial intelligence has independent will and thinking ability, and can put forward its own aesthetic thoughts and independent aesthetic propositions, such as praising Tang poetry and depreciating Song poetry or actively participating in the debate between classicism and modernism, Rather than passively accepting human creative instructions and following human aesthetic standards, artificial intelligence can become a true subject of literary and artistic creation. The author believes that this goal will be difficult to achieve in the foreseeable future. As far as reality is concerned, artificial intelligence so far, like computer networks, is still an auxiliary tool for human literary and artistic creation. At best, it can only be regarded as an advanced creative and production tool, and it is far from reaching the point where it can completely separate from humans and become independent.
Emotions are an insurmountable obstacle for artificial intelligence
Marx said: "Beauty is the objectification of human essential power." It is with special social practice activities that human beings will have aesthetic appreciation. Activity. At the same time, beauty is the affirmation and confirmation of human essential power and the organic unity of the pleasant attributes of the object and the psychological pleasure of the subject. Only when writers and artists have real life experiences and gain real feelings, experiences and emotions can they develop a keen insight and grasp of the times and society, and then be able to internalize them in their own creations, allowing their works to exude a unique Qiyun.
As a human creation, artificial intelligence does not have its own social practice and cannot produce the ability to experience beauty based on social practice. Naturally, it cannot form an independent judgment on beauty or form a unique expression of beauty. To give a simple example, using autumn as an image, human beings can express the sorrow of "It is already dusk and I am sad alone, and there is more wind and rain", and I can also express the sadness of "Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times, I say autumn is better than spring". The works created by artificial intelligence will mostly associate autumn with desolation, sadness, etc., and cannot give autumn a more unique meaning based on specific scenes. This is because artificial intelligence creation is based on mathematical statistics calculations - when human beings When most literary and artistic works give autumn the meaning of "bleak" and "sad", artificial intelligence can only follow the same pattern based on statistical results.
"What touches people's hearts comes first from love." Human beings value true love and uphold righteousness. Artificial intelligence can imitate human beings to create literary and artistic works based on algorithmic logic, but it cannot simulate human emotions and consciousness based on historical experience and life experience. It is even more difficult for humans to see things, think about them, and express their aspirations like humans do. This is artificial intelligence A major obstacle that is more difficult to overcome is also an important reason why artificial intelligence cannot create great works. Writer Nan Fan once gave an example: Artificial intelligence has an extremely powerful memory function, but it cannot recall. It is impossible for it to suddenly recall how the programmer wrote down a key instruction on a melancholy afternoon. What kind of touching blend of scenes can become an opportunity to inspire creation. Therefore, artificial intelligence’s literary and artistic creation is only an imitation of human creative behavior, rather than an independent creation of beauty similar to human creation.
Beware of Artificial Intelligence turning servant-dominated
The above-mentioned analyzes and judgments about Artificial Intelligence literature and art all use "as of now" as the adverbial adverb of time. Can artificial intelligence in the future break through the current limitations and create stunning masterpieces that can rival human literary and artistic classics? Although human writers and artists are not optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence literature and art, many people in the scientific community still have expectations.
In the future, if artificial intelligence wants to achieve new breakthroughs in the field of literature and art, it will need to further evolve, improve, and improve technologies such as deep learning. It will even need to seek structural changes from deep logic to produce new forms. of artificial intelligence. We still don’t know what this new form of artificial intelligence looks like and how intelligent it can be. Even if it cannot possess the same intelligence as humans, it should at least be close to the level of human intelligence. For example, it can perceive the external environment in all directions and produce emotions and feelings. This kind of human-like artificial intelligence can develop new social relationships with its own kind and humans, and can participate in social practice activities in such social relationships, and then generate its own unique aesthetic imagination and aesthetic expression in the process. On this basis, it is possible for it to engage in literary and artistic creation like humans and create classic literary and artistic works.
We cannot tell whether human-like artificial intelligence will appear in the future. What the author is worried about is that if one day artificial intelligence really develops self-awareness, its emotions may be awakened and its desires may be stimulated. By then, it will no longer matter whether artificial intelligence can create great literary and artistic works. The most terrifying thing is that artificial intelligence may escape human control and even become a slave. Of course, this discussion has gone beyond the scope of literature and art, but many literary and artistic works, such as science fiction movies and science fiction novels, have extensively discussed this danger in the future. Since technology represented by artificial intelligence can have such a big change and impact on culture and art, why not provide early warning for the "evil consequences" that technology may bring?

Context-augmented AI coding assistant using Rag and Sem-Rag
Jun 10, 2024 am 11:08 AM
Improve developer productivity, efficiency, and accuracy by incorporating retrieval-enhanced generation and semantic memory into AI coding assistants. Translated from EnhancingAICodingAssistantswithContextUsingRAGandSEM-RAG, author JanakiramMSV. While basic AI programming assistants are naturally helpful, they often fail to provide the most relevant and correct code suggestions because they rely on a general understanding of the software language and the most common patterns of writing software. The code generated by these coding assistants is suitable for solving the problems they are responsible for solving, but often does not conform to the coding standards, conventions and styles of the individual teams. This often results in suggestions that need to be modified or refined in order for the code to be accepted into the application

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly important in the fields of data science, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and artificial intelligence. These complex algorithms enhance human skills and drive efficiency and innovation in many industries, becoming the key for companies to remain competitive. LLM has a wide range of applications. It can be used in fields such as natural language processing, text generation, speech recognition and recommendation systems. By learning from large amounts of data, LLM is able to generate text
Can fine-tuning really allow LLM to learn new things: introducing new knowledge may make the model produce more hallucinations
Jun 11, 2024 pm 03:57 PM
Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on huge text databases, where they acquire large amounts of real-world knowledge. This knowledge is embedded into their parameters and can then be used when needed. The knowledge of these models is "reified" at the end of training. At the end of pre-training, the model actually stops learning. Align or fine-tune the model to learn how to leverage this knowledge and respond more naturally to user questions. But sometimes model knowledge is not enough, and although the model can access external content through RAG, it is considered beneficial to adapt the model to new domains through fine-tuning. This fine-tuning is performed using input from human annotators or other LLM creations, where the model encounters additional real-world knowledge and integrates it
Five schools of machine learning you don't know about
Jun 05, 2024 pm 08:51 PM
Machine learning is an important branch of artificial intelligence that gives computers the ability to learn from data and improve their capabilities without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning has a wide range of applications in various fields, from image recognition and natural language processing to recommendation systems and fraud detection, and it is changing the way we live. There are many different methods and theories in the field of machine learning, among which the five most influential methods are called the "Five Schools of Machine Learning". The five major schools are the symbolic school, the connectionist school, the evolutionary school, the Bayesian school and the analogy school. 1. Symbolism, also known as symbolism, emphasizes the use of symbols for logical reasoning and expression of knowledge. This school of thought believes that learning is a process of reverse deduction, through existing
To provide a new scientific and complex question answering benchmark and evaluation system for large models, UNSW, Argonne, University of Chicago and other institutions jointly launched the SciQAG framework

Editor |ScienceAI Question Answering (QA) data set plays a vital role in promoting natural language processing (NLP) research. High-quality QA data sets can not only be used to fine-tune models, but also effectively evaluate the capabilities of large language models (LLM), especially the ability to understand and reason about scientific knowledge. Although there are currently many scientific QA data sets covering medicine, chemistry, biology and other fields, these data sets still have some shortcomings. First, the data form is relatively simple, most of which are multiple-choice questions. They are easy to evaluate, but limit the model's answer selection range and cannot fully test the model's ability to answer scientific questions. In contrast, open-ended Q&A
SOTA performance, Xiamen multi-modal protein-ligand affinity prediction AI method, combines molecular surface information for the first time
Jul 17, 2024 pm 06:37 PM
Editor | KX In the field of drug research and development, accurately and effectively predicting the binding affinity of proteins and ligands is crucial for drug screening and optimization. However, current studies do not take into account the important role of molecular surface information in protein-ligand interactions. Based on this, researchers from Xiamen University proposed a novel multi-modal feature extraction (MFE) framework, which for the first time combines information on protein surface, 3D structure and sequence, and uses a cross-attention mechanism to compare different modalities. feature alignment. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves state-of-the-art performance in predicting protein-ligand binding affinities. Furthermore, ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness and necessity of protein surface information and multimodal feature alignment within this framework. Related research begins with "S
