舒尔茨在接受美国媒体The San Francisco Standard采访时表示,AI技术的真实能力很难评估,人们往往难以分辨一款产品究竟拥有独特技术,还是只是在ChatGPT等现有模型外面加了一层应用界面。
“如果你想骗人,我认为这是一个很好的行骗机会。”他说。
舒尔茨曾在斯坦福大学结识Theranos创始人伊丽莎白·霍姆斯(Elizabeth Holmes),后来进入这家公司工作,并参与揭露了其血液检测技术的虚假宣传。
霍姆斯曾宣称,Theranos的设备仅需少量血液就能完成多种检测。凭借这一愿景,她吸引了大量投资,一度成为硅谷备受追捧的创业明星,被称为“女版乔布斯”。但公司的技术承诺最终未能兑现,造假丑闻曝光。
在舒尔茨看来,当初让霍姆斯在未经充分审查的情况下筹集数亿美元的环境,如今更加普遍。他认为,AI技术尤其难以核实,而当下的世界对真相的重视也在减弱。
舒尔茨的采访还谈到了近期重新引发外界关注的霍姆斯。内森·菲尔德(Nathan Fielder)的影片《You Can See Everything》上映后,一些观众对霍姆斯产生了同情。
舒尔茨对此持不同看法。他认为,霍姆斯善于操纵他人,也十分关注自己的公众形象。舒尔茨称,尽管霍姆斯仍在服刑,她依然登上了《人物》杂志封面,出现在这部受到关注的影片中。他还声称,霍姆斯参与了其伴侣比利·埃文斯(Billy Evans)创办的新血液检测初创公司。
“我觉得,我们现在谈论伊丽莎白·霍姆斯,唯一的原因就是她希望我们谈论她。”舒尔茨说。
对于眼下的AI行业,舒尔茨担心,技术门槛和投资热情可能再次让外界难以看清一家公司的真实能力。他认为,霍姆斯不会是硅谷需要面对的最后一名骗子。

In an interview with The San Francisco Standard in the United States media, Schultz stated that it was difficult to assess the real capacity of AI technology and that it was often difficult to discern whether a product possessed a unique technology or simply added an application interface to existing models such as ChatGPT.
"If you want to lie, I think it's a good chance." He said.
Shultz met with the founder of Theranos at Stanford University, Elizabeth Holmes, and later entered the company to work and participated in false propaganda to expose his blood-testing techniques.
Holmes had claimed that the equipment of Theranos required a small amount of blood to complete multiple tests. With this vision, she attracted a great deal of investment and once became a popular entrepreneurship star in Silicon Valley, known as “Female Jobbs”. However, the company ' s technical commitments were ultimately not met and a false scandal came to light.
In Schultz's view, the environment that allowed Homs to raise hundreds of millions of dollars without a full review is now more common. In his view, AI technology was particularly difficult to verify and the world was now focusing less on the truth.
The Schulz interview also referred to Homs, which had recently renewed its interest in the outside world. Following the release of Nathan Fielder's film, You Can See Everything, some viewers felt sympathy for Homs.
Schulz disagrees. He believes that Homs is a manipulator of others and is very concerned about his public image. Schulz stated that, despite the fact that Homs was still serving her sentence, she was on the cover of The Person magazine, which appeared in this interesting film. He also claims that Homs was involved in a new blood-testing start-up company established by his partner Billy Evans.
“I think that the only reason we're talking about Elizabeth Holmes is because she wants us to talk about her.” Shultz said.
For the current AI industry, Schulz fears that the technology threshold and investment enthusiasm may again make it difficult to see the real capacity of a company. He thought Holmes would not be the last liar Silicon Valley had to face.
