Chapter 996: AI Empowerment

Just now I mentioned the functions and value of the Pioneer App.

Next, let's talk about its special features.

This is an attempt at AI and education.

I call this AI empowerment.

This is new-quality productivity.

With the development of Artificial Intelligence, our previous educational approach can no longer keep up with the times.

In the new era, we don't need to know everything, because AI can help us solve most memorization problems.

Just like when we build a robot, we don't need to know every tiny detail about what materials to use, where to get them, who has them, and so on.

We only need to design the function and the desired effect; the tough parts need to be tackled, while the rest can be handled by Artificial Intelligence.

Naturally, we no longer need to know anything.

Everyone has probably had this experience: many things learned in school are worthless and fade over time.

Much of this knowledge is learned just for exams.

It not only takes up a lot of time, but is also forgotten quickly.

This is a huge waste.

With the arrival of the Artificial Intelligence era, the value of these things becomes even smaller.

If we didn't need to memorize so much worthless knowledge and information, we could devote that time to more useful knowledge.

Perhaps we would then have more competitive work abilities.

Moreover, as time goes on, everyone should know that the amount we need to learn keeps increasing.

Now, studying for about 16 years roughly gets you a college graduation.

In the future, graduating from college might take 20 years or even more.

Because knowledge is exploding, and with the arrival of Artificial Intelligence, knowledge will grow exponentially.

If you don't believe it, just look at the gap between what college students need to learn now and what they needed to learn before.

The knowledge we need to learn is increasing.

If it's still not clear, let's give an example. For instance, back when we talked about relativity, most college students understood what it meant.

Now, if you ask college students about the latest scientific theories, many will be completely baffled.

The complexity of knowledge is also increasing.

If we don't change, most of our time will be wasted on schooling.

The longer the time spent in school, the lower the probability of marriage.

We've said this before.

In other words, if we don't change now, future birth rates will be even lower.

Yang Lao's words just went on and on.

In the end, they all ended up talking about birth rates.

What Yang Lao said is really true; I've genuinely forgotten a lot of knowledge.

Yeah, a lot of what we learned is utterly useless.

Back then, if I could have devoted all my energy to computers, perhaps my achievements would have been greater.

Sigh, many universities today just teach by the book, producing students who know nothing, which leads to graduates unable to find jobs while companies can't hire anyone.

Actually, it's a mismatch; the people companies truly need are not college graduates at all, because they still need training—short-term a year, long-term several years.

What they need is someone who can be used right away.

Sigh, they're not doing proper work.

I just looked into it roughly, and the difference between what students learn now and what we learned before is huge.

Enough said—I'm a college student who can't even do elementary school homework.

Haha, fellow sufferers, classmates—elementary school now is really different from before.

Before, math was just 'one plus one equals what?'

Now, math is 'why does one plus one equal two? Please prove it.'

You guys, stop talking—I just got my PhD, I'm 30, I can't find a job after graduating, I'm about to go deliver takeout, and I don't know when I'll ever get a wife.

Sigh, we must allow students to marry in college, regardless of suitability—just fall in love and get married.

Otherwise, really wanting to marry is difficult because the time has passed.

The captions showed Yang Qing seeing it, and Yang Qing continued speaking.

To adapt to such changes, Qiongzhou's education will change to some extent.

Qiongzhou's local schools will partially change their enrollment strategies.

Non-essential subjects can be allowed to be studied less or not at all.

Schools will also place greater emphasis on practical ability rather than scores.

Qiongzhou's companies should also open some positions for students to gain practical experience.

For details, please check the Qiongzhou government website.

Nationwide, the suffering students have all risen up.

Damn, I don't have to waste time learning stuff I don't like.

Great, I'm only interested in biology; I don't know why I have to learn so much…

Mom, Yang Lao said I have the right not to study.

Classmates, could it be that we can really be Jie Fang?

He said we could work part-time? Great, I'm too poor to afford tuition, but now I can work and study at the same time.

"Is it true that positions are being opened? That's great, we've been talking strategy on paper every day, and now we finally have a chance to test what we've learned."

"I feel like Qiongzhou is doing this to serve the Pioneer App."

"What's so strange about that? Without Qiongzhou's support, the Pioneer App is useless no matter how good it is."

"The changes in Qiongzhou are the foundation of their rise."

"Has the Yang Family taken control of Qiongzhou?"

"Upstairs sand coin, stop showing off your IQ; the Yang Family would have taken control long ago, so how could there be so many companies coming to Qiongzhou?"

"Especially the world‑class companies; most of them have branches in Qiongzhou."

"The annual investments are also far from few."

"If the Yang Family truly controlled it, who would still dare to invest?"

The subtitle discussion made Yang Qing laugh and rebuke.

"Alright, the changes in Qiongzhou were his original plan."

"It's not just Qiongzhou; the whole country will gradually change."

"There's no way around it; the people being cultivated now are already completely detached from society."

"As Artificial Intelligence advances, this contradiction only intensifies."

"Since it's a new era, education naturally has to change."

"Whether or not there is the Pioneer App, this change will happen."

"This is the trend of the times."

"Naturally, a new type of education model will inevitably emerge."

"Even without the Pioneer App, there will be other education apps."

"Using the Pioneer App lets children encounter Artificial Intelligence from a young age, and also cultivates habits and methods for using AI."

"More importantly, it can greatly increase educational efficiency."

"The ones being changed are a generation."

"Now we still need to learn how to use AI; these children will naturally know it, and natural work efficiency is not something our group can compare to."
