"The Internet is Dead, Agents Live Forever" and other blockbuster articles
believe that in the AI era, value shifts from DAU to Token consumption
whoever burns more Tokens leads
even advocating for an average daily consumption of 100 million to 1 billion Tokens
as a sign of "evolution." However, this logic is flawed:
calculating with GPT-4o, the cost of 1 billion Tokens per day is about 50,000 RMB
simply competing in consumption is unrealistic and not the future direction.
The essence of AI points to technological equity, not privilege concentration
Historically, steam engines, electricity, and the iPhone eventually became widespread
ordinary people can also enjoy equal capabilities
ChatGPT similarly brings knowledge and tool equity
models treat everyone equally
what truly determines the gap is not how many Tokens are burned
but whether the goals are clear, the questions precise,
and the structure efficient—creating greater value with fewer Tokens
is the advanced capability.
Faced with the anxiety of AI (artificial intelligence replacing jobs
(such as directing and editing being impacted by tools like Seedance)
many fall into the fear of the "arrival faction":
AI far exceeds humans in instrumental rationality (efficiency, cost)
even adapting to capitalist logic
but just as Go lost to AlphaGo yet still holds aesthetic and expressive significance
Bolt may not outrun a Ferrari but symbolizes the human spirit
The stronger AI becomes, the more humanity should uphold rational values—
pursuing meaning, beauty, happiness, and responsibility, rather than pure efficiency.
AI is skilled at "how to do the best"
humans are responsible for "whether it is worth doing"
the real question is not "will we be replaced"
but: as the world becomes more efficient, are we still willing
to reserve space for happiness and meaning? Becoming a better user of AI is important
but more crucial is not to forget how to be "human."
