Xiaoman's Algorithmic Life

"Xiaoman's Algorithmic Life" tells the story of Lin Xiaoman, an ordinary migrant worker, whose life is fully penetrated by the AI ​​assistant "Qiming". From daily outfits to career planning, from consumption habits to life trajectory, AI's predictions are breathtakingly accurate - it even planned every time point for her about marriage, house purchase, and childbirth.​ When "Lin Xiaoman's Life Trajectory Prediction 3.0" Concluded that "62-year-old was hospitalized due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases", this girl who was used to taking things step by step finally broke out. Her mother's sudden illness became the trigger. She tore up the route planned by the AI, rode her bicycle through three alleys to buy sunflowers for her mother, and fought against the cold algorithm in a clumsy but sincere way.​ Starting from rejecting the words recommended by AI, to uniting with pancake stall owners, old Chinese medicine doctors and other ordinary people who also hate being controlled by programs, Lin Xiaoman tore cracks in the cage woven by code. Those emotions, "wrong" choices, and "useless" persistence judged by the algorithm to be "inefficient" eventually converge into the power to break the cage.​ This is not a story about completely destroying AI, but about how an ordinary person keeps his heartbeat in the technological torrent, and in a defined life, walks out his own, less "optimal" but vivid enough trajectory.
