Zhang Chaoyang, founder of Sohu, chairman of the board of directors and CEO, said in an interview that AI can never replace real interaction and real content. Information acquisition and real human communication are two different things. Currently, AI cannot replace human communication. In the ocean of information, people need to come out and communicate even more. In the AI era, real interactive environments are even more difficult and valuable. Talking about AI anxiety among content practitioners, he responded with a metaphor: “Things created by AI now make the media and content feel plastic. Just like tomatoes extracted from chemical fertilizer, they look fresh and have no taste at all; carrots with a bit of mud don't look that good, but they are very tasty and tasty.”
