The Algorithmic “ Comfort Zones”and their Breakthroughs:A Discussion of the Algorithmic Con
tent of ChatGTP ZHANG Ai - Jun JIA Lu 22
〔 Abstract〕Algorithms are not single,static but dynamic and optimized applications;as a combination of big
data and cloud computing,it belongs to the personalized and intelligent product of the era of artificial intelli
gence. On the one hand, the “ comfort zone”generated by the algorithmic recommendation system shows the po
tential inertia and human nature of the audience at the public social level; on the other hand, it also conforms to
the trend of the times and provides an alternative approach for the technological transformation of economic devel
opment. Algorithm technology further integrates and communicates with human life and work with the help of da
ta information trusted by humans,embeds algorithm recommendation information into human choice preferences
in a conscious or unconscious state,and constructs a “ comfort zone”that can bind the audience’ s thinking by
catering to the audience’ s preferences, which has an impact on the audience’ s social consensus, value choice,
and cognitive construction. Algorithmic technology is an ever - evolving applied science,such as the advent of
ChatGTP. Therefore, only by creating an open and transparent algorithm system, following objective and concise
recommendation criteria,creating a relaxed and harmonious algorithm platform, and shaping the audience’ s ra
tional and independent judgment thinking can the negative impact of the algorithm’ s “ comfort zone”on the audi
ence be weakened,so that the algorithm tool becomes the material medium of the audience’ s self - development
and cognitive world.

Trends of Political Communication in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence———Based on A
Discussion of ChatGPT SU Yin WANG Yan - Ni 34
〔 Abstract〕As a future - oriented emerging medium,the generative AI technology represented by ChatGPT is
likely to bring political communication into the “ fifth age.”The “ fifth age of political communication”continues
the character of the “ fourth age of political communication”and takes the audience orientation, which is increas
ingly intensified since we entered the democratic society as the main direction. The “ fifth age of political commu
nication”also has a new feature that the “ fourth age”does not have. It is highlighted as a machine joining pub
lic conversation among humans and its possible consequences. In an information environment jointly constructed
by “ human + machine,”the essential nature that distinguishes human from the machine: subjectivity, becomes
more meaningful. On the one hand, we need fully “ use”generative AI technologies and make them a part of the
emerging toolbox of political communication. On the other hand,faced with the negative impact that productive
AI technology may bring to the democratic society,we have to construct political communication norms in the
new world with an introspection ability based on transcending the machines.
