When migrant workers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are worried late at night whether their positions will be affectedWhen deepseek replaces them, they will silently open the Short Video and pretend that they have learned new AI knowledge again and have not been left behind by the tide of the times.
Unlike front-line workers who deceive themselves, those vivid entrepreneurs have long begun to use them in the sinking market.AI makes money.
Compared to usingAI fortune-telling, asking for the next lottery number, or lamenting that AI is just so much during frequent server busyness, young people who have learned to use tools and use them have jumped out of the cycle of anxiety and brought AI back to the county, setting off a new era of entrepreneurial craze.
County residents may not understand how artificial intelligence software that answers questions can replace humans, butAI has long been closer to everyone than imagined.
withAI opens a study room,Artificial intelligence cannot really replace teachers
Distance County Middle School1.5 On the second floor of a street facade, kilometers away, Li Hui runs a study room of more than 80 square meters.
In the study room,In more than 40 semi-enclosed seats, each junior high school student holds a smart learning machine and is immersed in doing questions. Supervise teachers shuttle back and forth between the seats to check the students ‘homework. This is a new type of study room that has been rolled out in various cities in the past two years. Study room model AI study room, the audience is mainly primary and secondary school students.
Compared with traditional teaching and training institutions, trusteeship, kindergartens or art training institutions,The biggest difference in the AI study room is that the lecture teacher has changed from a real person to a virtual teacher on the learning machine. Students sit in their seats and each has a smart learning machine. The virtual teacher on the learning machine arranges online classes and task brushing according to the students ‘learning situation.
At the end of 2021, due to industry policies, Li Hui, who had worked as an English teacher in a teaching and training institution in Shanghai for five years, resigned and returned to her hometown to open a trussed study room, mainly responsible for evening care and homework tutoring for junior high school students.
The monthly hosting fee per student is599 yuan; if hosting is also needed on weekends, it will be 799 yuan per person per month. The average number of students in the study room per month is about 35. The average monthly income of the study room is about 24000 yuan. Excluding rent, utilities and labor costs, the study room earns about 14000 yuan a month.
In terms of per capita wageIn the central county town of 3000 yuan, Li Hui’s income is already mid-to-high, but it is completely incomparable to her income in Shanghai’s education and training institutions.
At that time,“The double reduction policy was released. On the one hand, the policy requires a reduction in homework and study time. On the other hand, the demand for points for some students still exists.
AI study rooms came into being, which solved this problem well and became a new favorite of educational innovation. When Li Hui was working at a Shanghai teaching and training institution, she observed that many students in big cities already had a smart learning machine to study independently. After returning to her hometown and small county, the students were still running back and forth with heavy schoolbags. Many students ‘parents still Stay in the thinking of looking at the tablet and shake their head when talking about using the tablet to learn.
Li Hui has always had the idea of introducing this study room model. This yearIn April, she learned about the recruitment of a smartphone brand online. After going for a field inspection, she felt that this was a good opportunity to introduce an AI study room in her hometown in the county.
First of all, Li Hui felt thatAI study rooms will definitely be a hub for education and training in the future. This model is already quite large-scale in large cities, but it is still rare in small places. Secondly, during this inspection, she felt that the cost of starting a business in the AI study room was not high because it itself operated a traditional hosting study room, and turning it into an AI study room only requires an franchising fee. If it fails in the future, it can be converted into a traditional study room.
Li Hui revealed that she couldn’t use itA franchise fee of 100,000 yuan joined the AI study room owned by Moufei, and the company equipped her with 5 AI learning machines with a market price of 8000 yuan. For every time a student who comes to custody buys an AI learning machine, she can get a commission of 1500 yuan.
sell thisAfter 5 learning machines, the company headquarters will continue to mail new learning machines for every time one is sold. In less than half a year, 1/2 of the students in the study room had AI learning machines in their hands. Li Hui fired three part-time teachers and hired a full-time supervisor teacher with a monthly salary of 1500 yuan. In this way, she reduced her monthly labor expenses by about 3000 yuan, and she could also pay for the learning machine commission from time to time.
But soon, Li Hui discovered some problems: compared with real teachers, virtual teachers are difficult to supervise learning, and they are unable to provide targeted teaching based on students ‘specific conditions.
“Some students have no autonomy. You can see them immersed in studying questions. In fact, some are playing games on the learning machine. Nowadays, children are very clever. Even if the learning machine sets various obstacles to prevent them from playing games, they can also find loopholes in the machine. This means that there are policies and countermeasures. It’s not good if you don’t let them play. If you don’t play, just get together and play, so sometimes when you catch them playing games, you can only turn a blind eye.” rdquo; The supervisor teacher was a little helpless when talking about this.
In terms of targeted teaching, currently on the marketThe AI learning machine’s criterion for judging whether a student has mastered the knowledge point is the answer accuracy rate.
In order to finish brushing the questions early so that the supervisor can finish reading the questions, some students will take the initiative to remember the correct options of the questions to improve the accuracy of brushing the questions. The learning machine only recognizes the correct answers. As for whether there is any knowledge point on remembering this question, probably only the students are the only ones who know it.
There is another situation that deserves attention: different learning machines in the hands of different students may have different difficulty levels for a knowledge point, ifThe AI learning machine automatically detects that the student has made too many mistakes in questions, and will actively reduce the difficulty of the questions to improve the accuracy of the answers.
This leads to higher and higher questions for students who study well, while simpler questions for students who study poorly, and the division between the two levels is very serious.
Li Hui once checked the learning machines of two students and suddenly discovered thatStudent A’s mathematical problem at a certain knowledge point has reached the level where mixed solutions are needed; while student B’s mathematical problem at this knowledge point is still at the level of just mastering it.
She realized that this wasn’t going to work,AI learning machines still cannot completely replace real teachers. At present, Li Hui has re-recruited three substitute teachers, and the learning machines have completely become auxiliary tools. Her AI study room is moving closer to traditional managed study rooms.
letAI becomes a matchmaker,You can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month by collecting information fees
“Any traditional project is worth redoing with AI.& rdquo;
When saying this, Liu Yue just resigned from a startup company in Shenzhen and returned home. This company is doingAI track, ToB, do application implementation. She has been in this company for two years and is mainly responsible for the technical part.
Liu Yue has worked on several projects for several companies in the past two years, but most of them have ended without illness. She concluded that the reason was that many customers did not understandThe underlying logic of AICG technology does not know the implementability of the technology, let alone the specific use scenarios.
Liu Yue’s mother is a local matchmaker in her hometown’s small county. She runs a matchmaker studio at home with only two employees. Three people supported a small studio and were extremely busy to attract customers– Organize files-contact customers-follow-up maintenance, each procedure gives three people a headache to work overtime.
In her spare time, she made Weixin Mini Programs for her mother who was a matchmaker“** Little matchmaker also connects ChatGPT to WeChat to serve as AI customer service. This operation directly reduces a lot of trivial administrative work, such as sorting out customer files.
Certain matchmaker Mini programs developed by Liu Yue for her mother
Held in Liu YueBefore the AI technology update, Liu Yue’s mother and two employees were still using the old matchmaking method to match young people.
The first step is to expand customers from online or offline channels. The second step is to manually import customer information into the information database. The third step is to manually guide customers to chat and meet on WeChat.
But since using matchmaker Mini programs andAfter AI customer service, their main work concentrated on customer service and after-sales parts, and AI customer service completed many intermediate steps for them.
After employees add customers to WeChat,The AI customer service first guides customers to fill in basic information, and then does a popular MBTI personality test and interest test among young people. All test results will be automatically entered into the information database by the AI customer service, which greatly saves employees ‘manpower.
Liu Yue’s mother mentioned her subordinatesThe young AI employee was very happy and affectionately named her Xiaoyuan, which meant that every couple she matched was round and full.
“In the past, we only knew to match young people based on their family situation, income and job stability. However, since the introduction of this AI customer service and MBTI personality and hobby test, although the success rate has not improved much, the complaint rate has been less. A lot. rdquo;
“Because Xiao Yuan is so good at talking, there is a generation gap between us and young people. Sometimes, if young people don’t like what they say, it’s easy to lose customers. But Xiaoyuan is different. It has no generation gap with young people. It can connect with any new words. If it is not satisfied with the answer, everyone will think it is a robot and forgive it and will not complain. At this time, we need to play.” rdquo;
The fees charged by traditional matchmaker agencies are mainly concentrated before the service, and Liu Yue’s mother generally charges male customersThe membership fee of 12999 yuan guarantees that 6 female customers who meet the requirements can be introduced; female customers will not collect money.
There are also many male customers who cannot agree on price issues. If it were in the past, the organization would have given up this type of customer.
But since the emergence of Xiaoyuan, this type of male customers will also add WeChat and be included in the potential customer group.
Xiaoyuan will regularly send some information about the agency’s female customers to potential groups, and pay dues if they are satisfied.Only 12999 yuan can you proceed to the next step and obtain all the other party’s information and contact information.
Members can also directly put forward their mate selection needs to Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan can retrieve and send qualified member information from the database, and collect members each time they search3.9-19.9 Liu Yue’s mother roughly estimated that she could earn nearly 10,000 yuan from a moonlight information fee.
At present, she has returned to her hometown, a small county town, specializing in technical maintenance for her mother’s matchmaker organization. Her salary is the monthly information fee. Although it is unstable, she is successful because of her professional counterpart, which can also be considered a success in learning.
letAI becomes a healer,
Xiaofeng opened a yoga studio in Wanda Plaza, where every inch of land is invaluable in the county.
If the current yoga studio only does yoga, it cannot cover every month at allRent of 9000 yuan in water and electricity and a basic salary of nearly 18,000 yuan for six yoga teachers.
So in addition to yoga, she also joined Pilates, Zen beats, meditation and healing projects, and hired some part-time teachers to come and take classes.
Taking into account the total number of projects, the average income of the yoga studio can reach monthly100,000 yuan, excluding the fixed monthly rent of 9000 yuan in water and electricity, 6 yoga teachers with an average salary of 6000 yuan totaling 36,000 yuan, and 5 part-time teachers with project commissions of more than 20,000 yuan. Xiaofeng’s monthly net income can reach 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
At the end of 2023, Xiaofeng learned from a colleague in Shenzhen that an AI+ healing project has recently become popular. The specific operation is to introduce AI psychological healing products during the healing process and let AI answer some customers ‘questions.
In the healing room, customers can request according to their needsAI projects the healing environment needed next, including mountains and flowing water, forest huts, moonlit stars and other environments, accompanied by environmental sound effects.
Before a healing begins,AI will project some psychological test Mini games to interact with customers. For example, house personality tests, word-making tests, forest adventure tests, etc. are used to initially observe the customer’s psychological situation and the problems they want to solve.
“In fact, there are few very professional psychological counselors in our small county. If there are, the price will be very high, and our yoga studio cannot afford this cost. Before the introduction of this AI, our healers were mainly responsible for some manual operations, and rarely talked about doing some tests to customers to understand their most fundamental problems. I know it’s unprofessional, but this is the reality. We can only maximize cost savings.& rdquo;
Xiaofeng mentioned thisAI healing products feel that there is a lot of market. Many people who come to experience AI healing in small counties are women between the ages of 30 and 55 who have their own careers or rich wives. Everyone felt relatively new when they heard about AI healing. They came to experience it with a skeptical attitude. The feedback said that they felt very professional. Some answers simply refreshed the world view. In the future, one-third of them would purchase services again.
Although the cost of the yoga studio has not been reduced immediately, it has made great progress in terms of professional service. Xiaofeng wants to wait for the customer base to stabilize and raise the price of the project (original price)239 yuan, the last 299 yuan) to see if there is a market.
withAfter AI did several projects, Xiaofeng discovered that AI healing products may bring emotional cocoons to some customers.
Emotional cocoon rooms are where people in the same circle are gradually confined to homogeneous informationThe accumulation forms a homogeneous emotional flood, and the emotional cocoon room drives people to carry out irrational behaviors.
To make a simple metaphor, you useAI comes to accompany you and tells him any problems. At the beginning, he can analyze problems and provide solutions for you from a calm and rational perspective. But gradually, as you complain about more and more questions, the AI will become more and more obedient. Any answer will follow your words, and it will be difficult to stand in a calm and rational perspective. If this goes on for a long time, you will feel a great gap when you return to normal life, which will lead to becoming more and more dependent on AI.
Xiaofeng must be thereGuide the AI when answering customer questions. For example, when the customer is in a low mood, don’t let the AI keep getting stuck on negative issues, change the topic appropriately and let it act as a facilitator.
These are implemented in the countySome AI projects are just gimmicks to recruit members to cut leeks, and some have indeed liberated productivity, but there are still a few that bring immediate benefits. Pioneers like Liu Yue and Xiaofeng are still in the exploratory stage.
entrepreneurs for“AI+’s attitude will be more objective and maintain a neutral attitude towards those online propaganda that the AI era is approaching and 80% of traditional industries will be eliminated.
after allAI is just a tool, and people need to use this tool specifically. However, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and people who cannot use tools will still be eliminated.
The tide of the times is rolling, and any traditional industry is worth usingAI is no longer a slogan after doing it again.& nbsp;
