On March 11th, according to Dongfang Selection See the World, Yu Minhong, the chairman of New Oriental Education Group Limited, interpreted the AI lobster that has gone viral on the internet. Yu Minhong said, "Just now, a netizen asked what a lobster is. A lobster is an artificial intelligence entity. Once installed on your computer, it can replace you to do the work you do. It can automatically and proactively provide you with the information you need after you give it instructions. It continuously helps you create better content and generate better plans with memory. In fact, it is like hiring a secretary, but you can raise a lobster in the same way, raising it to become a team that helps you work. After skilled training, it will continuously work for you. But the lobster feeds on all traces and information left on your computer, and it will always remember them. And it starts working for you 24 hours a day. For example, if you input a 10,000-word text to it and tell it to make a particularly beautiful PPT for you, the next day, when you open it, the PPT is already done for you. It means it is constantly working there for your continuous self-improvement."
