AI controversy
Jiang Jingshu did not tell Su Xiaoyue about her arrival. She simply called Wen Jinyan secretly and asked him to find a reason to invite Su Xiaoyue out.
Wen Jinyan and Su Xiaoyue both attend university in City A. Wen Jinyan often visits Su Xiaoyue's school. Wen Jinyan readily agreed and told Jiang Jingshu, "She would be very happy if she knew you were coming."
Jiang Jingshu picked up the gifts she had prepared and headed towards University A.
He also had Wen Jinyan call Su Xiaoyue out.
The timing was perfect; just as Jiang Jingshu and Xie Zhijin arrived at the gate of University A, they saw Su Xiaoyue on campus.
Su Xiaoyue looked around but didn't see Wen Jinyan. Her gaze only briefly swept over Xie Zhijin and Jiang Jingshu, as if she hadn't noticed them.
She immediately called Wen Jinyan, "Where are you? I tricked you into coming out, but I can't find you anywhere."
"Didn't you see it?" Wen Jinyan chuckled. "Silly girl, take a closer look."
Su Xiaoyue looked around again, and this time her eyes met Jiang Jingshu's. She was still on the phone with Wen Jinyan, and suddenly said, "Wen Jinyan, I think I'm seeing things."
"What's wrong? Who did you see?" Wen Jinyan appeared behind Su Xiaoyue with a smile.
Su Xiaoyue was a little confused. "How did you get in?"
"I've been to your school so many times, I know the way like the back of my hand. Plus, your security isn't strict at all, so I sneaked in with a student." Wen Jinyan seemed quite proud. He pointed outside the school, "Still doubting your eyes? Jiang Jingshu will be getting impatient soon."
After Wen Jinyan finished speaking, he gently tapped Su Xiaoyue's head, signaling her to go over quickly.
Su Xiaoyue also came to her senses and quickened her pace, running towards Jiang Jingshu.
Jiang Jingshu looked at the girl running towards her with some delight, and also started walking towards Su Xiaoyue.
I won't let you run towards me alone; as soon as I see you coming towards me, I will take a step and run towards you.
A year later, the gap in their hearts seemed to be filled by this hug.
All the previous unpleasantness seemed to be dissolved by this hug.
Jiang Jingshu handed the gift to Su Xiaoyue. Su Xiaoyue took it and was about to take it out when Jiang Jingshu stopped her.
Jiang Jingshu said, "Don't look at it in person."
There was a small note inside, in which Jiang Jingshu had written many things, things that Su Xiaoyue could only secretly read and read aloud in front of her.
Jiang Jingshu felt a little embarrassed.
Su Xiaoyue cooperated and put it away. She took Jiang Jingshu's hand, but was surprised.
"I felt something was off when I hugged you just now." Su Xiaoyue held Jiang Jingshu's hand. "It felt like I was hugging a big block of ice."
Jiang Jingshu smiled sheepishly, "I'm the kind of person who gets cold easily."
"Jiang Jingshu, you're saying you're cold in the middle of summer?"
Su Xiaoyue clearly didn't believe Jiang Jingshu's story, but seeing that Jiang Jingshu was unwilling to say more, Su Xiaoyue gave up asking.
She simply took Jiang Jingshu around A University and had her eat at the A University cafeteria.
Everything was just like in high school, as if nothing had changed. They seemed to have just finished their last class, walked hand in hand to the cafeteria, and sat facing each other to eat.
Every time she eats, Su Xiaoyue places a bottle of milk on the table.
Su Xiaoyue kept this habit all the way into college, but this time Jiang Jingshu took the initiative and put the milk in front of Su Xiaoyue first.
“You really liked this flavor when you were in high school.”
Su Xiaoyue's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't find her favorite cherry yogurt anywhere in City A. This yogurt was a specialty of City Z, and it wasn't even available online.
She had missed this for a long time.
The last time she drank cherry yogurt was when Wen Jinyan brought it back for her from Z City. This yogurt has a very short shelf life, only one week, but Jiang Jingshu handed a whole bag to Su Xiaoyue.
She said, "As long as I'm here, I'll bring you cherry yogurt every week."

When Jiang Jingshu returned to school, she watched Xie Zhijin's live stream as usual. Every time she saw Xie Zhijin in the live stream, he was very enthusiastic.
Jiang Jingshu simply greeted them and then watched quietly without making a sound.
Until a somewhat discordant comment appeared in the live chat.
[Demon]: Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others!
The person with the ID "Demon" kept spamming Xie Zhijin's live stream. Of course, as soon as someone responded, the chat exploded with discussion about it.
【Xiao Xie, keep going!】: @Mo, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense.
[Demon]: Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others! Jiang Jiang uses AI to draw for others!
This person kept spamming the screen, and finally, Xie Zhijin saw this comment.
Xie Zhijin's voice suddenly turned cold. He said, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. I studied law. Your behavior of judging AI without evidence has violated my girlfriend Jiang Jiang's rights. We have the right to sue you."
Jiang Jingshu clicked on this person's profile to take a look. It was obviously a secondary account, and it hadn't even been verified with real names yet. Jiang Jingshu didn't think much of it; perhaps this was what they meant by "the taller the tree, the more the wind blows."
After all, her account was already up and running, and she had earned a lot of income from commissioned articles.
With fame comes controversy, but Jiang Jingshu didn't pay much attention to the matter and didn't bother to respond.
Upon accessing this person's profile, Jiang Jingshu quickly saw the message posted by the administrator.
"Demon" has been blacklisted in the live stream.
Jiang Jingshu smiled. Is this what it feels like to have powerful connections?
Yan Tong was also watching Xie Zhijin's live stream at the moment. When she saw this part, Yan Tong turned her head and glanced at Jiang Jingshu.
Yan Tong naturally didn't believe such comments. Others might not know how good Jiang Jingshu's painting skills were, but Yan Tong, who was in the same school, major, and dormitory as her, couldn't possibly not know.
Furthermore, Jiang Jingshu's grades are among the best at Z University.
Yan Tong absolutely did not believe such rumors. She could tell that someone was deliberately stirring up trouble just by glancing in Jiang Jingshu's direction.
Fortunately, Xie Zhijin took control of the situation in time and quickly blocked the person.
Yan Tong just looked at Jiang Jingshu angrily, "They went too far! Don't they know how much effort art students put into drawing? How could they treat your hard work like this?"
While both are forms of expression, painting seems to be more easily questioned. If a painting is too ugly, people will question the artist's skill; if it is too detailed, people will question whether it was generated by AI.
Regardless, this is disrespectful to the person expressing the message and a desecration of her work.
Jiang Jingshu felt that such comments were impossible to control. She patted Yan Tong's hand and said to her, "They can talk, let them say what they want."
Jiang Jingshu has always believed in the saying "the innocent are innocent." She believes that as long as she has a clear conscience, no matter what others say, it will not affect her.
However, she overlooked the saying "public opinion can be a fearsome thing." If one person tells a lie, no one will believe it, but if the lie is spread by word of mouth, then it will become the truth.
As a result, during this period, there were more and more voices questioning Jiang Jingshu, and her number of fans dropped sharply.
In the art world, many people shake their heads when they hear the name of Jiang Jiang, the teacher who used to be a very talented painter, and say, "This teacher has some scandals. She used AI to draw pictures, but she won't admit it."
When everyone says it and everyone believes it to be true, the truth of the matter becomes less important.
Jiang Jingshu, being perceptive, realized almost immediately that she had been used as a target.
Since I started doing self-media, it seems that I have taken away too much business from others. Most people think that Jiang Jingshu's articles are good, so they all rush to commission articles from Jiang Jingshu.
The suddenly rising "Ziwei Star" is sure to be the most dazzling presence in this circle.
Perhaps Jiang Jingshu's brilliance was too dazzling, or perhaps she blocked the path of a certain artist, and was simply "taught a lesson" by someone with a little trick.
Jiang Jingshu subconsciously began to analyze the matter. The speed at which public opinion spread was extremely fast, and Jiang Jingshu had no choice but to "prove herself".
She specifically chose an afternoon when she had no classes and started her live stream.
That was her first time doing a live stream, and Jiang Jingshu was inevitably a little nervous.
Each painting by an artist is like a child to the artist, yet Jiang Jingshu cannot tolerate her child being slandered by outsiders.
She could only respond.
As the live stream began, Jiang Jingshu quickly scanned the comments. Almost all of them were waiting for her response, while others were just watching the show.
Jiang Jingshu slowly began, "Hello everyone, I am the artist Jiang Jiang. Today, I am here to respond to some recent controversies surrounding me."
Jiang Jingshu was live-streaming from her dormitory, and Yan Tong was next to her, watching her live stream.
“During this period, many netizens pointed out that I used AI tools when completing my work. I searched carefully, but I could not find any concrete evidence to prove that I used AI tools. They just said that my drawing was too perfect and without any errors, and concluded that I used AI tools. I think this reason does not seem to hold water.”
“I thought these statements, which I knew were false, wouldn’t affect anyone. However, I was wrong. Public opinion seems to be developing in an uncontrollable direction. In order not to let down my fans, I have to come out and ‘prove’ myself.”
"First of all, these are some of my drafts that I rejected. You can clearly see my drawing and revision process." Jiang Jingshu posted these pictures in the live broadcast room. "Furthermore, I can explain my drawing process in its entirety, and my personal style is consistent. Almost all the friends who have commissioned me to create works can recognize my style."
Jiang Jingshu responded calmly, "Secondly, the other party claims that the details in my drawing are too perfect and do not conform to normal conditions. Well, I wonder if the other party has truly understood the drawings made by AI. The drawings made by AI are mechanical, and most of the drawings made by AI are very strange, with incorrect human anatomy and incorrect lighting. My drawing has none of these problems. The details in my drawing are too perfect, which can only prove my excellent drawing skills, not the use of AI technology."
"Third, perhaps some people still think I'm making excuses. I'm willing to livestream my painting process. I will randomly select a fan to choose a topic, and I can complete it within a limited time to clearly demonstrate my painting process to everyone, thereby proving my innocence."
"Finally, I want to say that I understand everyone's desire to resist AI-generated art and protect original works. However, relying solely on personal feelings without evidence to question it will genuinely harm the creators. Creators spend a lot of time and energy creating a work of art. This kind of behavior is a trampling on the hard work of every artist. Please respect every original creator."
Jiang Jingshu's voice echoed in the live broadcast room.
