Guess what the little song is? Google AI's first WeChat mini program 'Guess the Painting Song” is a hit

Today, the WeChat circle of friends was flooded with a "Guess the Painting Little Song" WeChat applet. What is the Guessing Painting Little Song? Why is it so popular? Guessing Xiaoge is actually the first artificial intelligence WeChat version of Guessing Mini Program launched by Google AI (artificial intelligence). The user draws an everyday object, and then the neural network will recognize the user's graffiti within a limited time.

Google can always bring surprises.

Since Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the shift from Mobile First to AI First in 2016, the Google that has dominated my circle of friends is AlphaGo, which defeated Ke Jie, and Google Assistant who calls you to book a restaurant, and the other person is completely I can’t tell it’s because AI

has been swiped too many times, and I’m starting to get a little confused. Google AI is so powerful, can I use it? Except for Google Translate and file geeks for uploading photos, Google AI seems to be a matter of developers. Tensor Flow and TPU 3.0 can only play a role in the hands of developers. And Android P, which I am most concerned about, has not yet launched an official version.

AI is so popular, what does it have to do with me?

1. Xiaoge Xiaoge, Google’s song

On July 18, Google launched its first mini program on WeChat—Guess the Painting Xiaoge, and finally Showed off the "muscles" of its own AI.

Hey, Guess the Little Ge, why does this name sound familiar? Isn’t Little Ge a Google song?

So I thought about Xiao Ge’s thoughts: “Don’t you think AI is too far away from you? Look, I only need a small program to let you understand what AI is and how it can change your life. ”

According to Xiaoge’s introduction, this is an artificial intelligence drawing guessing applet developed by Google. The user draws an everyday object, and then the neural network will identify the user’s graffiti within a limited time.

Isn't this just a "you draw and I guess" game, except that the person who guesses is replaced by AI Xiaoge, and the person who draws is you.

Everyone in the editorial department started to play, and the atmosphere was suddenly full of joy. "It guessed the elbow I drew. How can I make it understand what an elbow is?", "I want to give it a big elbow." ", "I can't even guess it myself, it knows it's a potato."

Seeing everyone playing, I feel itchy in my heart. But I can’t draw. Can Xiao Ge guess it? I'm still full of doubts about Xiaoge's ability.

After seeing Xiaoge’s further explanation, I realized that this is already a mature product. Xiaoge is driven by Google’s AI neural network. Behind this network is the world’s largest, including more than 50 million hand-drawn images. Sketch data group.

50 million-level data makes Xiaoge smart enough. When I was painting, for example, when guessing a skyscraper, I just drew a very long rectangle that stood upright without sealing the bottom. Xiao Ge guessed that it was a skyscraper. Similarly, when guessing the rabbit, as soon as I drew the rabbit's two long ears, Xiaoge knew it was a rabbit.

This also means that you no longer have to worry about becoming a free sparring partner for AI. Let Xiaoge, who has learned 50 million hand-drawings, guess the "masterpiece" of the soul painters. It is not certain who trains whom. Woolen cloth. Xiaoge's mini program service is classified as online education. In addition to entertainment for adults, Xiaoge is also suitable for teaching children to learn about various new things.

The magnitude of the data group has become the most important factor in determining whether AI is artificial intelligence or artificial retardation. For example, artificial retardation Siri, iPhone users do not think it is intelligent. After asking it to help set an alarm clock, it never comes back. Used it.

2. Voice is the soul of Xiaoge

When playing this mini program, it is strongly recommended to turn on the voice, "I guess what you want to draw is a rabbit." , "How do you want me to guess if you don't draw?" These prompts give the little song a soul and make me feel like I am playing "You draw and I guess" with my girlfriend, rather than a cold machine.

When I can't draw, Xiaoge will encourage me, "try harder", and will also ridicule me, "I guess it's just random drawings."

If the timeout expires and I haven’t drawn it yet, Xiao Ge is also rude and taunts me mercilessly: “What did you draw?”

At that time, I really wanted to reply to it. : "Is it because I can't guess that I'm not good at drawing?"

After reading Zhihu user Wang Tianxiao's decompilation of the "Guess the Painting Song" applet, I calmed down. No matter how soulful Xiaoge is, it is just a small program.

In Wang Tianxiao's decompiled code, you can see that the code corresponding to "What did you draw" that made me angry is "zhcn_ni_hua_de_sha_wan_yi_er_1.8.mp3", and the name of this code also contains Erhua sound. When I can't draw or guess the song, the applet will automatically play this MP3.

There is also "guessed it, this is" corresponding to "zhcn_cai_chu_lai_le_zhe_shi_1.8.mp3".

Wang Tianxiao also discovered three unfinished functions of Xiaoge through decompilation: friend battles, registration codes and rewards. What I am most interested in is the battle with friends. I can play "Draw and Guess" with my WeChat friends. It has stronger social attributes and I feel like I can refresh the screen in the circle of friends again.

Zhihu of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" quickly appeared in response to classmate Wang Tianxiao, "We are back-end engineers writing the front-end, and there is only one person." Regarding the new function, kumakuma said There will also be a battle mode, a spectator mode, and a "group fight mode" where multiple people can play together.

Very good, for Google to show off its "muscle", I just want to say: It's really fun, come with more.

3. There are more small programs like this.

Products like “Guess the Little Song” did not appear out of thin air. In the 2017 Experiments with Google In the collection of projects, there is already a guessing project called "Quick, Draw!"

I just remembered that I had already played “Quick, Draw!” during the Google Playtime event in November 2017. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Google's experimental projects. In addition to recognizing what you draw, there are also projects that predict what you will draw next before you finish drawing. Even if the "soul painters" can't draw a slightly more complex animal like an owl, the AI ​​will guide you on what to draw next. My favorite is the Giorgio Cam project, which combines image recognition technology and speech synthesis technology. It can not only tell you what object is photographed with the mobile phone camera, but also generate a piece of music based on the object, such as identifying whether it is glasses. After that, it will immediately hum a rap: "We got glasses in this spot spot spot spot." With the background sound of the last beat, you will have the illusion that Google has also made a Douyin, and it is an AI version. TikTok.

Only two of them were introduced. I simply counted, and there are at least eight experimental projects.

For so many interesting projects, I just want to say that there should be more small programs like this!

Oh, by the way, here are the paintings by the "soul painters":

The mermaid painted by my colleagues

I painted it The swan and the swan drawn by others

The monkey I drew and the monkey drawn by others
