Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of 360 Group, released a video saying that the impact of AI on ordinary people is being underestimated. 이번 발병은 평범한 사람들에게는 기회인 동시에 많은 사람들이 극복하기 어려운 장애물이다. Many people's jobs are at risk of being replaced by AI. If we fail to seize the dividends of AI, we may be left behind in the AI era. AI evolution is a process of continuous replacement and optimization of human jobs. According to a report by a US consulting company, 50% of existing occupations in the world will be replaced by AI. The emergence of DeepSeek has accelerated this process.
周鸿祎称，原来也不太相信AI能取代程序员，也觉得AI取代不了写稿的能力，但是DeepSeek最近能力提升之大，包括其对全球AI水平促进之快，让他相信今年DeepSeek写的文章能超过90%的人，AI编程序大概能够取代80%的面向前端的初中级工程师。
“曾经我也觉得AI低门槛的使用和近乎免费的成本应该会带来普惠，缩小社会差距，让大家更加平等。但现在看起来现实可能很残酷，它可能进一步拉大人与人的距离，而且这个趋势不可逆转。因为DeepSeek虽然很强大，但是面对DeepSeek，不同人有不同的使用方式。”周鸿祎称。
周鸿祎强调，使用AI作为工具辅助工作产出的质量主要取决于两个关键因素，一个是使用者提问题的质量，第二个是提问者对AI产出结果的筛选验证和选择。“针对复杂任务的研究发现，精英人群从AI中获得的帮助更大，普通员工可能不仅没有提升，甚至还有退步。”
