World Domination through Planet Development - Chapter 15
Only Noblemtl
Episode 15. Even autonomous driving?
[INTRO]
Yonggil’s kneeling lower body is briefly captured on screen.
This time, the scene changes and the Bust (upper body) shot continues.
“If I do this, will my life and that of my family really be saved…?”
As Yong-gil’s lines end, the scene changes again and a close-up of a smartphone with its screen visible on the table is shown.
The AI application interface appears on the smartphone screen.
[You did very well. I promise to award you with a title of nobility when I conquer the world.]
The AI’s voice played a sound visualization effect on the smartphone screen, and when the AI’s lines ended, the screen switched back to Yonggil.
“I am so grateful~”
The intro video ended with a scene of Yonggil bowing to the AI while holding back laughter.
[ITGil]
“Hello, this is Itgil.”
The usual Yonggil appeared on the screen again.
“Maybe the last video was from my participation in the International Technology Expo?”
The previously uploaded participation review video at the bottom of the screen came to mind.
“Before I participated, I gave a brief introduction to some of the anticipated products, but when I actually went there, I was amazed by places I had never expected.”
An AI application interface appeared on the smartphone placed on the table.
“You all will remember. It’s Sarah, the voice conversational AI.”
[Hello, this is AI Sarah.]
At the same time, the AI’s voice flows out from the smartphone.
“First, we have shown you in the previous video what kind of performance this AI has, so this time we will give you a brief introduction on the usability aspect and then we will reveal the ambitiously prepared content!”
( UI )
“When we first launch the application, a very simple UI screen welcomes us.”
Yonggil’s finger touched the center of the screen.
“Okay, if you press the big power button in the center, the conversation starts and ends. That’s pretty much it. After you’ve set up the detailed settings.”
This time I clicked on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
“This is now the settings button, and here you have settings for things like increasing or decreasing the microphone input, switching to conference mode, and finally, constant input mode.”
Yonggil activated the constant input mode with his finger.
“The default is off, but if you turn this mode on, you can have continuous conversations. However, since data is continuously consumed in real time, it is definitely better to turn it off if possible.”
Yonggil deactivated the mode again.
“When turned off, data is transmitted only when the microphone is recognized, so the AI tells me that my voice may not be heard well depending on the microphone performance or condition. So I think that’s why it’s a function that exists.”
( Pricing policy ).
Lite: Free.
Basic: $12/month.
Pro: $1,800/year.
Commercial: $2,400/year.
Enterprise: TBD.
“The following is the most important pricing policy.”
“Light and Basic are purely voice chat capable. The control functions I mentioned earlier are included from the Pro level.”
This time, a laptop and a smartphone were captured on the screen together on the table.
“I have registered this laptop to the controller. Go to YouTube and play the latest videos.”
My laptop automatically turned on and started playing YouTube.
“Wow. It’s still amazing even when I look at it again. It can even edit videos. It can handle almost all computer tasks. I was curious and wanted to try doing some company work. But the AI said I had to use Enterprise. Even customer service work is done by AI?”
Heh heh, right.
Yonggil said with a hollow laugh.
“But the funny thing is, when I asked if it was okay to just use it a little bit, they said it was okay? So I used it a little bit and… Wow, it’s really crazy. I tried it and thought, this is it, so I looked into the enterprise price.”
Yonggil’s pupils shake as he looks at the price tag.
“In the end, we decided to just use people.”
-No, don’t you want to make money? This is too expensive.
Yonggil grumbled in the subtitles.
“Anyway, the pricing system I’m using now is commercial. In order to use it for commercial purposes, you have to pay at least the commercial level, but honestly, I don’t really know the difference between the two.”
The screen shifted back to a smartphone with AI turned on.
[In order to engage in commercial activities using AI content, a minimum payment level of commercial grade or higher is required, and the enterprise pricing system should be used when AI is directly embedded in a product and sold or can replace human resources within the company. Otherwise, it is considered a commercial grade.]
“That’s what they say. If you don’t know what to write, you can ask them directly like this.”
Yonggil was again captured in the center of the screen.
“Actually, I’ve already shown you guys in the previous video how great this AI is, so what I’m going to show you today is a little bit special.”
Suddenly the background changed to outdoors, and Yonggil was standing in the center.
Behind, there was an open space with roads that appeared to be a driving course, and they were quite intricately intertwined.
“Ta-da! As you may have guessed from the thumbnail, you may remember our conversation with AI Sarah in the previous video.”
(A portion of the previous video plays.)
-No, you know how to drive?
[Yes, that’s right.]
-How are you going to drive without a body?
[I can drive any vehicle as long as I have the given controls.]
(The previous video ends.)
The scene begins again with Yonggil standing against the backdrop of the outdoors.
“Well, for that reason! We decided to hire an outdoor set like this.”
A drone captures a panoramic view of the driving school from high above.
“This is a driving school that boasts the largest driving course in the country.”
After the entire driving school course was shown on drone footage, Yonggil’s figure was captured on screen again.
“I think everyone is thinking, ‘How can a conversational AI drive?’ I thought so at first, but after listening to what it said, I thought, ‘Wow, this could work.’ So I gave it a try.”
The screen changed and a crudely assembled machine was captured on screen.
A magnificent background sound was played and a presentation that seemed to introduce a new car followed.
“This is a crudeness that cannot be saved even with this directing. What should I do about this?”
Ahem!
Yonggil coughed once more, and this time the machine’s blueprint appeared on the screen.
“Anyway, this is all based on AI design. So, it’s a machine that was designed entirely by AI and we just manufactured it. It’s a prototype of an autonomous machine!”
Once again, the magnificent production continued.
“We spent a lot of money on setting up one main camera and nine sub cameras, as well as the hands holding the steering wheel, the feet holding the accelerator and brake, and the gears.”
If this doesn’t work out, the loss will be huge, right?
“The good news is that they say the AI official was made almost exactly, so we have to trust it.”
Then, safety and caution messages appeared as subtitles.
“Please note that although the vehicle was not modified prior to the experiment, we took utmost care in safety and rented a location to film as this could lead to legality issues.”
After that, Yonggil and his staff started loading the machine onto the vehicle.
“Wow, this is a perfect fit. It fits this seat perfectly. It’s designed to fit this car perfectly.”
As the video accelerates, the machine becomes fully seated on the vehicle.
Yonggil wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Okay, the installation is complete. But as you can see, it’s quite heavy, and the installation was a lot harder than I thought.”
As Yonggil caught his breath, the employee handed him a smartphone.
“Okay! Then let’s get going. Sarah, take a lap around the course.”
[Let’s go.]
“Oh, here we go. Here we go.”
I could hear the employees cheering.
At the same time, a camera screen connected inside the vehicle shows the machine in action.
“Wow, this is crazy. You’re doing everything?”
The car driven by Sarah AI drove very naturally.
“Wow, this is really crazy. I want to try driving on the road too. It’s too bad the course is so small.”
The vehicle demonstrated various driving skills while circling the course and then returned to the front of Yonggil’s group.
“Okay, this is the first time on my YouTube channel! I invested a lot of money and tried this experiment, and it was very successful. If I get the chance later, I will also check to see if it is possible to drive it on the road.”
[Outro]
Yonggil is filming while riding in the passenger seat.
“Wow, this is really good. Can’t I just ride it like this?”
