为什么为朋友而生的互联网,比人工智能更有意义

2作者: 01-_-6 个月前
社交互联网的早期,有一个非常简单的承诺。技术将帮助人们与生活中已经存在的人保持联系。当时没有对“受众”的痴迷,没有创作者经济,也没有算法决定你接下来应该看什么。一切的核心是人际关系。这就是为什么像 Facebook、Orkut 甚至早期的 YouTube 这样的平台对数百万人来说都很有意义。它们就像现实社交生活的延伸。 如今,情况变得很奇怪。我们生活在历史上技术最先进的数字时代。人工智能可以撰写文章、生成图像,并能与我们进行长时间的对话。然而,许多人觉得这些工具在他们生活中所占据的情感空间,不如那些早期的社交平台。要理解其中的原因,仔细观察社交网络是如何演变的,以及在此过程中悄然发生的变化,是很有帮助的。 2004 年 Facebook 推出时,它的目的非常狭窄。它旨在连接已经互相认识的大学生。访问需要一个大学电子邮件地址。当时没有网红,没有病毒式视频推送,也没有全球受众。人们登录是为了看周末派对的照片,评论朋友的帖子,或者查看同学在哪里留学。平台的结构反映了这一意图。体验的核心仅仅是你的朋友列表。 这个细节,在今天看来可能微不足道,却改变了一切。皮尤研究中心的研究表明,绝大多数 Facebook 连接都是用户在现实生活中已经认识的人。平均而言,只有大约 7% 的连接是与用户从未在线下见过面的人。大多数联系来自学校、家庭、工作或现有的社交圈。 https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2011/06/16/social-networking-sites-and-our-lives-2/ 在此处阅读完整内容:<https://chat-to.dev/post?id=UG9wTndyTnkvZlZ6V0hzWGMwRzc5QT09>

At the beginning of the social internet there was a very simple promise. Technology would help people stay connected to those who were already part of their lives. There was no obsession with “audiences”, no creator economy, no algorithms deciding what you should watch next. The center of everything was human relationships. That is why platforms like Facebook, Orkut and even early YouTube felt meaningful to millions of people. They worked as extensions of real social life.<p>Today the situation is curious. We live in the most technologically advanced digital era in history. Artificial intelligence writes articles, generates images and can hold long conversations with us. Yet many people feel that these tools do not occupy the same emotional space in their lives that those early social platforms once did. To understand why, it helps to look carefully at how the social web evolved and what quietly changed along the way.<p>When Facebook launched in 2004 its purpose was extremely narrow. It was built to connect college students who already knew each other. Access required a university email address. There were no influencers, no viral video feeds, and no global audiences. People logged in to see photos from the weekend party, comment on a friend’s post, or check where classmates were studying abroad. The structure of the platform reflected this intention. The core of the experience was simply your list of friends.<p>That detail, which might seem trivial today, changed everything. Research from the Pew Research Center showed that the vast majority of Facebook connections were people users already knew in real life. On average only about 7 percent of connections were with people the user had never met offline. Most contacts came from school, family, work or existing social circles. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pewresearch.org&#x2F;internet&#x2F;2011&#x2F;06&#x2F;16&#x2F;social-networking-sites-and-our-lives-2&#x2F;<p>Read the full content here:&lt;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chat-to.dev&#x2F;post?id=UG9wTndyTnkvZlZ6V0hzWGMwRzc5QT09&gt;
