"Seeing Like a Human":Intelligent Vision and the Posthuman Condition in the Age of Artificial Intelligence through the Lens of Sora
The automation trend of technology has paved a feasible path for the intelligent evo-lution of"machine eyes":from machine viewing agents and extensions in military and medical fields to the rise of intelligent surveillance and recognition,machines gradually possess human-like viewing capabilities.The emergence of Sora demonstrates the enormous potential of generative AI to see and create like humans.The key to this technological progress is the systematic understanding of human vision by AI at the level of visual perception and simulation:in the former case,the machine realizes the algorithmic"translation"of the multi-sensory integration of human viewing;in the latter case,with the help of artificial neural networks,the machine possesses an anthropomorphic visual thinking and creative consciousness.In the face of this scene,human beings are inevitably placed in a post-human condition,which means that the visual landscape in the age of artificial intelligence has al-ready shifted from anthropocentrism to a new pattern of human-machine symbiosis.Accordingly,is-sues such as subject cognition,reality construction and survival value in the image world have also shown significant changes,which urgently need a new understanding and interpretation:firstly,ma-chine intelligence,as a digital extension of the human brain,challenges and promotes the distributed evolution and construction of the human subject;secondly,AI-generated visual images share the ac-tivity of life with human beings,and are an important driving force in the construction of the"meta-universe";finally,human-machine co-creation is an important way for human beings to obtain the meaning of existence,which not only involves the individual's learning and cognition of the ma-chine's grammar,but also includes the influence and shaping of human culture on the machine's generation.
