However, in this news, the most interesting thing is not the amount and number of people involved, but the "anchor" of chatting on the mobile dating APP is "robot". These "robot" anchors cheat by posing as beautiful female anchors and asking users for gifts. According to the police, in view of the insufficient number of female "anchors" on the dating APP platform, which leads to the problems of untimely reply to users and poor income-generating effect, criminal gangs organize technicians to write "robot" programs to pretend to be female users, and automatically send "greetings" and "asking for gifts" to newly registered users through pre-designed models to induce users to consume, thus making illegal profits.
Online sex-cheating-cheating methods have always emerged in an endless stream, but cheating with "robots" is a new thing, and the new phenomenon hidden behind the news is really worth discussing. Internet and pornography are almost natural allies. Since the invention and popularization of the Internet, the porn industry has been living on the Internet. To say the least, even if it is not pornography, it is recognized as "normal social interaction" such as making friends and dating, and the internet also provides great convenience. Various dating and marriage-seeking services have achieved "internet plus" in the past few years. In the past, marriage advertisements in newspapers appeared in various dating forums and websites.
The upgrade of information technology has several levels, regardless of sex and marriage. The first level is that people use technology to socialize, such as chatting online; The second level is that the platform itself is adapted with big data, such as some dating websites. Marriage websites emphasize some traditional hard conditions, but in many social networking sites, they are more willing to consider some hobbies of users. The so-called "APP knows you better than you" actually means that APP has been collecting your data and analyzing it to draw conclusions. The third level is that technology itself has replaced people, just like the "robot program" mentioned in the news above. By writing the program, the user feels flirting with someone and falling in love with someone.
There is no absolute difference between the three levels, but it has to be pointed out that the third level is becoming a trend. In addition to low cost and huge market, enterprises have the motivation to research and develop production, and more importantly, human beings are more willing to fall in love with robots than expected. Because people are essentially a mixture of narcissism and inferiority, whether it is narcissism or inferiority, it can be said that they have gained a complete acceptance. At this point, robots are obviously better than humans.
Of course, the "robots" developed by the attacked criminal gangs are still very immature. This program is only to meet the physiological needs of some otaku groups, the purpose is to cheat, and it doesn't really have the ability to read minds. But in the future, programming with the ability of "mind reading" will become more and more mature. For otaku and otaku, or not just this group, buying a robot boyfriend or girlfriend will become a fashion, even a basic need of people.
Yuval Harari, the author of A Brief History of the Future, speculates that 98% of people will become idle, and the value of their work will be meaningless, while society is fully capable of supporting them. So for most people, how to spend their leisure time will become more urgent than anything else. This is not an alarmist. In fact, there may not be any "danger" because more and more young people are already in a state of less work and more leisure. Even, an irregular questionnaire survey shows that nearly 70% think that "there is nothing wrong with being ruled by robots". Therefore, the era of robot boyfriend/girlfriend will come soon, which is also a boon for otaku and otaku.
