Is what you think is the truth?

In a group of AI enthusiasts , a friend shared a picture as follows. In the picture, do the colors of grids A and B feel different to the naked eye?

But in fact, their RGB color values ​​​​in the computer are all: 120, 120, 120, exactly the same – take screenshots of the two grids AB and AB respectively (see the picture below).

This indicates:

  • The surrounding environment and platform are very important-a real gold necklace worn by a beggar is considered fake, but a fake gold necklace worn by a rich man is generally not suspected.
  • There is no harm without comparison.
  • What we think the real world is isn’t always the same as the real world.

From the perspective of science and engineering research, throw this question to ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence AI:

Question: In Edward H.Adelson’s grid visual deception diagram, the background colors of points A and B are actually exactly the same. Please explain the visual deception principle behind it?

Answer: The visual deception principle behind Edward H.Adelson’s grid visual deception diagram is that people’s visual system will judge the color of an object according to the surrounding environment, rather than simply seeing the color of the object itself. In this deceptive picture, the background colors of the two points AB are actually exactly the same, but due to the different surrounding environments, people’s visual system will think that the colors of the two points AB are different. The environment around point A is dark, while the environment around point B is light color, so people’s visual system will think that the color of point A is darker than the color of point B.

Going back to the previous conclusion, is the so-called real world we think is really an objective real world?

A while ago, I went to Sun Yat-Sen University to listen to a professor discussing public governance. The professor said a lot, I can’t remember, but she analyzed news cases over the past ten years and found that there are indeed many hot Internet events, and there are people behind them. Netizens are led by the rhythm, and at the same time regard their own understanding as facts according to their own ideas-not to mention that people generally believe what they want to believe .

When I deal with these things, when I can’t see clearly, the general way is:

  • Don’t rush, let the bullets fly for a while;
  • Combining multiple sources of information for comprehensive comparison and analysis.

After all, if you have been cheated many times, you will have a long memory, so don’t be self-righteous.
