Starting from the Controversy of the Nobel Prize
Last night, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two AI experts, which sparked significant controversy.

The point of contention among people is whether the contributions of the two laureates truly belong to the field of physics.
In response to these doubts, the Chairman of the Nobel Committee explained as follows: ‘The work of the laureates has brought great benefits. In physics, we use artificial neural networks in a wide range of fields, such as developing new materials with specific properties.’
Simply put, AI is now being used in all walks of life, and it has become our underlying infrastructure. For the founders who provide the underlying technology for this infrastructure, don’t you think they deserve a Nobel Prize? As for which field it belongs to, does it really matter? If the field of physics cannot incorporate AI, then perhaps a new disciplinary award, such as a computer science award, should be established.
Creating Emojis with AI in One Click
Nowadays, AI is being used in all walks of life, bringing great benefits to everyone. For example, something as small as the emojis we use every day can be mass-produced through AI.
Here are 9 emojis of Lei Jun. Can you guess how I made them? With a simple prompt for image generation + post-production text (which can also be written by AI), it can be achieved.
The prompt is like this:
Subject of the image: A cute and funny anime version of [xxx], facial features, upper body or full body; Emotions: Various expressions and actions, with exaggerated movements and rich expressions, such as happy, angry, sad, furious, thinking, shy, leisurely, surprised, waving, etc.;
Style: Cute anime illustration style, with white and blue as the main colors;
Image quality: Exquisite details, ultra-high definition, 4K;
Image layout: 3×3 grid layout, one avatar per grid, without showing grid lines, white background.
The prompt design is from Yunzhong Jiangshu, and I made minor modifications.
Here, [xxx] is the main content you need to generate, such as animals, people, or even virtual characters. Try to use common and easy-to-understand descriptive words. You can adjust the emotions and colors according to your own needs.
For example, the prompt for the previous Lei Jun emojis is like this:
Subject of the image: A cute and funny anime version of [Lei Jun], facial features, upper body;
Style: Cute anime illustration style, with white and blue as the main colors;
Image quality: Exquisite details, ultra-high definition, 4K;
Image layout: 3×3 grid layout, one avatar per grid, without showing grid lines, white background.
Send it to Ji Meng AI, and in less than 30 seconds, it generated 4 sets of 9-grid images. Lively Lei Zong hums, ‘This cat is angry, I am a tiger, not Hello Kitty. Please call me, cute rabbit, who isn’t a girlish bunny?’ ‘Goo goo~ Warm reminder, it’s time to wear long johns.’ ‘Shut up, this beautiful girl is here.’ ‘It wasn’t me, not me >_<' 'Chirp, I'm about to fall, help me up quickly.' 'Doraemon is coming, make way.
‘ ‘Are you the only one who’s cute? Beg for a head pat, pat on the head~’ ‘I, Zhou, have something to say.’ ‘What would you like to discuss?’ ‘Shaoling wild old man is eager to hear the details.’ ‘Brother Monkey, YYDS.’ ‘Yan Junshen: This monkey delights me.’ ‘Musk: Everyone, come and get involved in AI.’ ‘Big A: Bull market, end.’ ‘The above lines are all personally fabricated by me, with no relation to the facial expressions of the characters. ‘ Each image contains 9 emoticons, and everyone can freely pair the text according to their needs and use them. Then, in WeChat or QQ’s emoticon store, you can publish or collect the emoticons you have made. This is actually a business, and I can only say so much. What AI was used? It was made with Ji Meng AI, using the model ‘Ji Meng General v2.0 Pro.’ Is it charged? It’s free. PC users receive 66 points per day for logging in, and APP users receive 88 points, with each image generation consuming 1 point. Can other AIs do it? Not as well as Ji Meng. Only for the domestic version, even though they are both tigers and use the same set of prompts, the images generated by other AIs look like this; you can judge for yourself. Finally, let’s compare with Dou Bao’s image (the same model as Ji Meng). In the AI product recommendation list released monthly by Wo Yin AI, we have always given the endorsement for Ji Meng AI’s image generation function as the Chinese version of Midjourney. Ji Meng is worthy of this title.
