From changing the dialogue and freely expressing oneself, to questioning the world and oneself, volunteers broke away from the original script set by the director and began to freely express themselves - this

"A few years ago, I joined a project at a company in Beijing and used ChatGPT2 to assist writing for over a month. I wrote two stories and two chapters from a novella. It took me two or three days to write two or three thousand words, but if I were to write it myself, I could finish it in two or three hours. Artificial intelligence assisted writing seemed quite distant. But no one expected that ChatGPT4 would come. With huge computing power, suddenly, the model had magical abilities.

How to create great works in silence?, Pianist Zhang Haochen's Dialogue with Beethoven: Sonata after Deafness | Music | Beethoven

How to describe music with words? When Zhang Haochen, a pianist born in the 1990s, wrote the book "Beyond Performance", this issue plagued him from beginning to end.

How did Beethoven write his great works when he completely lost his hearing in his later years? "It's hard to imagine that a painter can still create great works if he goes blind. Beethoven, who became deaf, created music in silence, and these notes were unverified and relied entirely on his imagination. Therefore, talking to late Beethoven is a dialogue with the symbols and intentions in his mind." In "Beyond Performance," Beethoven appears repeatedly in many chapters, becoming a "mirror" for many composers
