Relaying tradition in the digital era

On the topic of artificial intelligence-related education, Meng spoke of experimenting with AI and training it to write classical poems, which demonstrated that certain limitations could only be overcome with human effort.

"The AI improved quickly, reaching about 75-80 percent of human quality, but then it plateaued. When I asked a friend why, I was told it had exhausted its data," Meng says.

The AI model couldn't go further because it lacked emotional depth, and without emotion, there's no room for error, and without error, there's no soul, she adds.
