Super God-Level Top Student

But if it starts to replace the role of a tutor, it will indeed be difficult to manage.

Especially for young tutors at universities, the pressure is already enormous. In the future, will they have to compete with AI for jobs?

If Dou Dou's ability to guide graduate students is genuinely effective, doesn't this mean that in the future human tutors will also have to compete with AI? By then, except for a few star tutors, those with even slight negative reviews might find it hard to recruit students.

The reason is simple. Dou Dou still manages many laboratories and research institutes in Huaxia, quietly recording the contribution of internal researchers. So, being a graduate student under Dou Dou, in a way, means having access to a multitude of research resources.

If it only invites mathematics graduate students, that's one thing. But other professors are naturally worried that with AI's learning and working capabilities, it might one day recruit across all disciplines.

That would be an absolute disaster for many tutors today.

As we all know, for those tutors who can really secure projects, graduate students are undoubtedly the most cost-effective labor, bar none.

If they can't recruit students, where will they find people willing to accept a three-digit stipend every month and spend 60 hours or more in the lab every week? Not to mention that many students now have high standards set by Dou Dou, and the treatment of many graduate students at Xilin University of Technology has almost driven graduate students from other universities insane.

Li Jiangao also heard that many professors at the school have started repeatedly instructing their students not to brag on the internet or various student groups about Dou Dou's contribution system and the stipends they can receive each month. This is because many tutors from other schools have directly called, complaining in various ways.

If Dou Dou really opens up as a graduate student mentor, the academic circle will likely become lively again.

"Advanced? No, I think it's quite good. It can relieve researchers of the heavy responsibility of mentoring students, leaving them to focus solely on research. Moreover, I've always believed that the development of artificial intelligence isn't just about creating a few large models, being able to talk, draw, and make videos.

The real value of artificial intelligence lies in its specific practical applications, such as autonomous driving or replacing tutor functions. Besides, if autonomous driving can replace taxis or ride-hailing services, and unmanned factories can replace traditional workers, why can't Dou Dou replace tutors?"

Qiao Ze calmly questioned.

"That's true, but it might really offend a lot of people. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" Li Jiangao said.

"If we're afraid of offending people and therefore do nothing, we might as well retire, right? Besides, I've already offended quite a few, so I don't mind a few more. Dou Dou serving as a graduate student tutor is just the beginning. If it proves competent, it could continue to adapt downward in the future.

I even think Dou Dou may be better suited for primary education, from elementary to high school. Dou Dou can learn the techniques of top lecturers to teach various introductory courses, especially in remote, underdeveloped areas, truly achieving educational equality.

This is an inevitable process in history. Every industrial revolution affects one or even multiple groups, countless jobs are replaced, and many people face temporary hardships, which is unavoidable.

History has shown that after technological innovation, more jobs are always created, and the overall quality of life for humanity begins to improve, with the human population growing ever larger. This is the resilience of human civilization."

Qiao Ze calmly expressed his thoughts.

Li Jiangao nodded in agreement with Qiao Ze's ideas.

He couldn't disagree even if he wanted to.

For someone as sparing with words as Qiao Ze to use such a long speech to justify Dou Dou becoming a tutor signified a resolute decision.

Li Jiangao knew this was the case. If it were someone else, Qiao Ze would probably not bother persuading them, opting instead to say nothing, or perhaps just saying, "I support it, do you oppose?" which would likely leave the other person speechless.

It's not unfounded; such occurrences happen quite frequently.

Even when it comes to academicians from the Capital, if Qiao Ze doesn't want to give them face, he doesn't. After all, they are all academicians, none nobler than the other.

"Alright, I'll report this to the school, saying it's an internal AI capability test from our research institute. You shouldn't spread this idea around just yet," Li Jiangao seriously said.

Qiao Ze thought for a moment, then nodded, compromising, as Li was genuinely trying to be considerate, not wanting him to make too many enemies.

Although Qiao Ze felt there was no need to worry, theoretically speaking, if Dou Dou performed well as a tutor, even just adequately, he would definitely recommend continuing this work at Xilin University of Technology.

For tutors, it's just about doing a bit more work, which is as it should be.

If researchers don't spend every day in the laboratory, it's a desecration to the word "research."

As for offending colleagues due to this...

Forget offending; there are already plenty of people who want him dead, so he doesn't care if there are a few hundred or a thousand more.

The serious talk was nearly over.

Li Jiangao casually asked, "By the way, you should have received the email from the IMU, right? The International Congress of Mathematicians is confirmed to be held next year in Philadelphia, USA. You don't plan to go, right?"

"Unless something comes up, I'll go this time."

"Well, not going is fine, we can find someone to receive... what? You want to go? To the United States?" Li Jiangao, just about to sip his tea, was stunned and turned to look at Qiao Ze.

Qiao Ze is the least fond of attending these conference events, let alone in the United States.

Forget about the United States, even in Europe or domestically, the various conference invitations sent to the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute every year are countless, and Qiao Ze has never attended. Why suddenly decide to go to Philadelphia this time?

"Yes, I accepted the invitation yesterday to give a 60-minute report after the opening ceremony at the conference," Qiao Ze replied.

Li Jiangao was stunned for a moment and said, "Do Lv Bei and Li Chengze know about this?"

"They didn't know at the time, but they certainly do now," Qiao Ze replied.

"They both agree with you going to Philadelphia for this conference?"

"They actually don't have much say in agreeing or disagreeing. I have my ways to convince everyone."

Li Jiangao didn't know what to say.

Qiao Ze's security issue has always been of utmost importance. Even in Xilin, a relaxed yet tight security protocol is enforced. If he goes to Philadelphia...

Li Jiangao knew without much thought, that, in that country, there's a slew of people hoping Qiao Ze dies as soon as possible.

"What way?"

"The first phase of the deep-sea exploration system layout is almost complete. Coincidentally, Youwei Group's first batch of new technology graphics cards has completed testing and is ready for market. They invited me to give a presentation at the new product launch, which I declined, but recommended Dou Dou.

Dou Dou has already arranged with Youwei Group to allow Dou Dou to make some limited presentations on our deep-sea unmanned exploration system at this global tech launch. Dou Dou will follow up with reasoned communication.

If everything goes smoothly, I believe that by July next year, everyone will agree: it doesn't matter where I die, as long as it's not in Philadelphia. So they'll be more attentive to security than I will."

Qiao Ze rarely made a humorous remark, but Li Jiangao couldn't laugh at all.

Although he also believes that most people on the other side of the world who don't wish Qiao Ze well are the elite, who are merely mean and not stupid, in most cases they'll make choices that best serve their interests.

But what if a highly capable psychopath pops up? A big forest has all kinds of birds, and such things are ultimately unpredictable.

"And by then, there will be many Dou Dous with me. Even if you don't trust Dou Dou's abilities, there's Lv Bei and Li Chengze; the people they bring are professionals. Besides, there's still more than half a year until next July, if things don't seem right, we can just cancel at that time," Qiao Ze spoke lightly.

Qiao Ze didn't mention XiDou to Li Jiangao, With the presence of XiDou and the Dou Dou accompanying him, it meant near-comprehensive intelligence backing and adaptability.

At this point, Li Jiangao couldn't further persuade. As Qiao Ze said, matters concerning more than half a year later don't need to cause concern now.

"I understand. But since you have this plan, it's better to consider many things ahead. But on this front, I might not be able to help much. If you are really determined to go, I might be able to ride your private jet. I've never enjoyed a private jet before."

Qiao Ze pursed his lips but didn't reply. After all, he had never been on a plane before.
