From Darwinism to Dataism:Cultural Evolution Mechanism Driven by AIGC
Compared to human production,AI-generated content(AIGC)has opened another path for cultural evolution.As a techno-logical artifact capable of producing cultural genes outside of human beings,AIGC has become a technical catalyst for the evolution of Mimi Machines from version 1.0 to 2.0.Through a perspective of technological philosophy,the study finds that,based on Darwinism as an evolutionary mechanism,AIGC exhibits cultural production characteristics based on dataism,achieving "spiritual digital attrib-utes",overcoming"human limited rationality",and breaking through"cultural fidelity".However,AIGC-driven cultural evolution is constrained by the power operation mechanism of the physical world,forming an evolutionary theory with a limited tendency towards da-taism,demonstrating "algorithmic power based on human empowerment","cultural bias based on power balance",and"cultural con-flict based on algorithmic bottlenecks" during the processes of replication,variation,and selection.In the future,AI and human wis-dom will move from mutual constraints to binary integration,influencing the harmonious development of social culture through cultural twinning in terms of evolutionary adaptability,will freedom,collaborative decision-making,and human-machine trust.
