At the 10th Salt Club New Knowledge Youth Conference held recently, Zhihu launched its latest AI product "Zhihu Direct Answer". Through innovative big model applications, it brings new productivity tools to users and creators, explores new forms of questioning, and helps everyone better "discover the world through questioning".
Li Kaifu, CEO of All Things and Chairman of Innovation Works, stated that with the emergence of AI intelligence, various industries will undergo two stages of transformation in the future: "Human+AI" and "AI+Human". "Human+AI is a semi-automatic stage, while AI+Human is a fully automated stage." He believes that in the past two years, the performance of large models has accelerated, and AI has exceeded the average level of humans. It is expected to surpass the doctoral level by 2025 and usher in a singularity outbreak in a few years.
At this year's Salt Club New Knowledge Youth Conference, Zhihu officially launched a new AI product called "Zhihu Direct Answer", which is the official productization of AI search function. It also has an independent domain name and service entrance, providing users across the network with a better experience in questioning, searching, result generation, and summarization. This product has been launched on the PC and can be used through the "zhida. ai" domain name.
According to the introduction, "Zhihu Direct Answer" is based on the real question and answer data of Zhihu creators, and can provide two types of answer generation results: "concise" and "in-depth" according to user needs. It also supports "finding content" and "finding people", further shortening the distance between content needs and high-quality answers, and amplifying the circulation effect of community creators and their content.
Zhou Yuan, founder, chairman, and CEO of Zhihu, stated that "Zhihu Direct Answer" is a new productivity tool and should also become a connector for discovering the world. Zhihu Direct Answer can help everyone better "discover the world through questioning", and build a more imaginative, creative, dynamic, and vibrant community around tools and everyone.
