Chapter 563: Xiao He: Accuse Me of Using AI? I'll Flip the Table on All of You!
"So, I believe xiaohei shouldn't have won the award at all! There are many issues with his award, but the organizer chose to shield the contestant to maintain more buzz!"In front of the camera, a blond, blue-eyed man spoke his views non-stop to the lens, occasionally gesticulating wildly, appearing extremely agitated.
His exaggerated video style quickly attracted a large wave of attention. Viewers who had changed their minds because of the clarification video once again shifted their stance due to his video commentary.
What's even more ridiculous is that because the main fan bases on both sides were different, and their nationalities differed, viewers' subconscious biases were heavily skewed.
More people believed this blogger who frequently posted videos on their platform, rather than some unknown newcomer.
Whether domestically or internationally, the direction of public opinion always controls the thinking of the majority.
In the blink of an eye, both "xiaohei" and the organizer were attacked by angry fans.
Originally, this was just a competition spontaneously held by a video blogger out of personal interest, but it had the incredible luck of becoming a globally significant competition with extremely high prestige. This alone had already sparked much envy and dissatisfaction. Now, seizing this opportunity, even more industry insiders joined in to criticize.
[This competition was originally just a utilitarian event held to build his personal IP. Who exactly is the one who placed him on a pedestal?]
[Similar situations have occurred in previous competitions. And with the gradual rise of AI in recent years, the organizer still hasn't provided a decent solution. No wonder such a major scandal has erupted now.]
[Who doesn't know that the winner from the year before last was actually a side account of some big shot within the industry? But because the blogger didn't dare offend them, they still gave the prize money and ranking to that big shot.]
[It's only natural for a personally hosted event to slowly be eroded by capital.]
[Tsk tsk, I think the next rendering competition just shouldn't be held.]
...
All sorts of people spewing sarcastic remarks swarmed forward.
But soon, even more people rushed out.
[Oh my god, stop arguing and go watch xiaohei's latest video.]
[I said it before, this big shot clearly isn't a simple character, don't just go provoking him. Look at what you've done now, pushing him to his limit? Tsk tsk, he just kicked your rice bowls right out from under you.]
[Stop fighting, stop fighting, just go watch the video. The sky is about to change for you all.]
[xiaohei is awesome!]
These comments made netizens on foreign websites extremely curious. They stopped the flame war and rushed to xiaohei's video account to see what was happening.
This time, his video still had no background music, just a plain, dry screen recording.
But the content inside made countless people break out in a cold sweat.
In the footage, the video creator directly opened several commonly used modeling and rendering software, added his pre-prepared assets, started inputting code, and launched his own AI!
Of course, a large portion of this was pixelated to prevent others from seeing the details clearly. This was because the database supporting the AI's operation was borrowed by Xiao He from the database and some core algorithms shared with him by Fusheng Technology during their previous collaboration. So, these things absolutely could not be exposed.
Then, after these preparations were complete, everyone watched as content that would normally take them a massive amount of time to produce was smoothly completed by Xiao He in less than two hours.
At that moment, the world collapsed for countless people, no less than when painters saw AI generate art, or writers saw AI write stories.
Although AI-assisted modeling and AI-assisted animation already exist, based on most of the AI technology currently on the market, these tools haven't yet shaken the foundations of their livelihoods. They are merely aids; one cannot rely solely on AI for creation, or the results would be riddled with flaws.
But, but now... what were they seeing?
This guy called xiaohei effortlessly used his self-developed AI technology to create a 3D rendered work with an extremely high degree of completion?
Sure, it might not yet reach the meticulous level of the original "Mecha Battle," but it could easily crush professionals at the bottom of the barrel just chasing quick cash.
And also... why does this AI of yours not seem to have that "AI flavor"?
This isn't how AI is supposed to work! How am I supposed to tell the difference between AI creation and human creation from now on?
At that moment, the spectators watching the drama didn't understand what this meant, but others who did understand exploded in panic, even more so than when they first learned about AI modeling's existence.
Because no matter how miraculous the current market software is hyped up to be during promotion, the actual results are just so-so. Training an AI requires a massive amount of time, and professionals can spot AI-generated work at a glance. It's simply not as powerful as imagined.
But now, tangible results were placed right before their eyes.
Everything happened too abruptly, too smoothly. It even felt like the organizer had colluded with Xiao He and viker to put on a show, with the sole purpose of promoting this AI of theirs!
Many people's minds went blank.
Especially those mid-to-low-tier practitioners already teetering on the edge of being "optimized out." Seeing something like this appear, they felt their future jobs were almost certainly not secure.
And the description of this video was even more provocative. xiaohei directly made an outrageously arrogant statement.
[xiaohei: AI? That just makes it faster.]
Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!
Countless people felt a knot of frustration in their chests upon seeing this line. They wanted to curse but found no words.
Because he now had the qualifications to be this arrogant!
-
Far overseas, viker had been smugly refreshing his account data, certain that Xiao He had no better way to prove his innocence.
But he never, ever expected that Xiao He wouldn't indulge him either, directly flipping the table and smashing everyone's rice bowls to the ground!
After watching the video, his face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Impossible? Who exactly is he?"
"Why? How was this done? Isn't he a novice?"
viker's hands trembled as he refreshed his account data again. Sure enough, he saw his follower count plummeting wildly.
The comments under his latest video were even more flooded with other industry competitors, hurling insults and mockery at him relentlessly.
viker's heart almost stopped. Clutching his chest, he stared blankly at the continuously dropping numbers, wanting to cry but having no tears.
He knew. He was finished!

"How is this possible? This video must be fake!"
At Shield Screen Studios, Ashikome Ichirou was also shocked upon seeing this video. His eyes widened, the cigar in his mouth dropped onto the desk, and his face alternated between shades of green and white.
"The video is real. The code before and after looks mostly fine. He genuinely possesses this technology," another technician said, pushing up his glasses, his tone peculiar. "And compared to modeling and rendering, perhaps his main profession should be a programmer."
And not just any ordinary programmer, but a research-oriented talent with independent development capabilities, whose overall R&D technology far surpassed most companies currently on the market.
For a big shot like this to participate in such a competition was truly a case of overwhelming superiority.
"I now believe why he dared to be so arrogant in his previous bio. It's because he himself is a professional technical expert in this field. Learning modeling and rendering was just to understand the underlying logic and better build his AI algorithms."
"Who would have thought that a competition dispute would blow the lid off such a god-tier figure?"
The technician's eyes were full of awe.
"We must contact this contestant! This technology of his is far too important for us!"
"Hurry! Contact the organizer immediately! We must get the contact information we want from them!"
Almost the instant this video spread across foreign websites, major companies caught wind and sprang into action!
