Chapter 925: breath of life

Views:

Many players like to go to their own mansion in between playing vr games, and they don’t play Switch in the mansion anymore, and they don’t buy clothes for Nuannuan anymore. They play dogs every day!

How does it feel to pet a dog...

In fact, it feels very similar to petting a dog in reality, that is, when the dog is good, it is very good and very active, but sometimes the dog does not play cards according to common sense.

An intuitive feeling is that the dog seems to have emotions, sometimes happy, sometimes depressed, sometimes clingy...

Moreover, this kind of emotional change has no rules at all, but it will be closely related to the player's current actions.

For example, the player teases the dog for a while, or takes the dog out for a couple of laps, which will significantly improve the dog's mood; but it is also possible that the player teases the dog, and the dog is completely indifferent. At this time, we must think of other ways .

This kind of experience, which is no different from touching a real dog, makes the dogs in "Oasis" attract a large number of players, regardless of whether they have dogs in real life or not, they all want to try it.

However, players are inevitably curious: How did such a realistic dog come out

Soon, some players broke the gossip: Because of the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the dog you are petting now may really have self-awareness...

The advancement of artificial intelligence technology is not a particularly strict secret, but it has not been fully exposed and diffused. In fact, the latest artificial intelligence technology has been spread in many fields, but it has not been widely publicized and spread to the player community.

At the beginning, players felt that this statement was nonsense, or that some sailors deliberately used this as a gimmick to promote the game "Oasis".

But this matter... why does it seem more and more real

With the continuous emergence of various signs, many evidences point to the same conclusion: this dog seems to be made with the latest artificial intelligence, and it does have a certain degree of self-awareness!

The so-called self-awareness is actually one's own understanding of oneself. In layman's terms, it means a little b number in one's heart.

Taking it to a dog, it means that the dog has emotions, and the emotions will change with the cycle and will be affected by the outside world. It can recognize that human beings are its masters, can realize that dog food is edible, and can feel Till I'm full or hungry...

Of course, the actual situation will only become more complicated, and there are still many contents that need professional terms to explain clearly.

For players, this only means one thing: my dog is alive!

It is no longer the simulated dog program it used to be. In a sense, it is now a real virtual dog, almost indistinguishable from a real dog except that it lives in the game world.

(Of course, there is no difference from the perspective of humans. It is difficult for humans to distinguish the difference in self-awareness between smart dogs and real dogs. As for whether real dogs will regard virtual dogs as their own kind, there is no accurate conclusion yet. But from the experimental data point of view, it is more optimistic.)

After knowing this, the players were all excited, and their attitude towards Gouzi changed 180 degrees!

In the past, everyone knew that it was a virtual program, so we would only tease it when we were in a good mood, and forget about it when we got busy.

But it’s not working now, the dog is equivalent to a living thing, if you ignore it, it will feel very lonely, lonely, boring, depressed, and even suffer from mental illness or cause physical problems if it goes on for a long time. Discomfort on…

For the players, this is equivalent to increasing their burden. The dog who did not need to put in any energy before now needs to spend a lot of time to take care of it, and it is necessary to try to figure out the dog's mind and take corresponding measures. measure…

However, the players didn't have any resistance at all, instead they were having fun!

There are even some real-life dog trainers who specialize in training dogs in real-life ways, and they really train dogs really well!

Some players even said that petting a dog is really fun! "Oasis" should be called "Dog Raising Simulator"!

Not only Gouzi himself has been changed, but also the entire game "Oasis".

At the beginning, when "Beach Mansion" was first launched, everyone regarded it as a bonus from Thunder Game Platform, and no one wanted to stay in it for a long time.

Later, with more and more customization functions and the emergence of Nuan Nuan, players gradually began to like to stay here.

However, it is always just a game in the player's mind, just a scene, not a real "certain place".

Because this place lacks vitality and lacks living things.

Whether it’s Nuannuan or the previous Gouzi, players know that this is just a part of the game, some kind of high-end decoration, essentially similar to smart speakers and smart TVs at home. When you are at home, do you feel that your smart speaker is with you

But now, this dog has come to life instantly, making many players feel that something is different in an instant.

Yes, this dog immediately gave the whole "Oasis" a breath of life. Players feel that this place is no longer lonely and monotonous. It even feels like the dog has instantly activated the entire "Oasis" Yes, the previous dog food, dog toys, etc. are all available.

And what's even more frenzied is that Chen Mo seems to have updated all the furniture with damage effects!

A certain player entered "Oasis" after get off work, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.

The messy things in the house were thrown all over the floor, the pillows on the sofa were torn apart by the dog, and the feathers inside were floating everywhere...

This player knelt down right then, it's so fucking real!

Fortunately, Chen Mo said that he will launch a 10 yuan/month housekeeping robot service, otherwise the players will really collapse. They just finished the housework at home after get off work and wanted to relax in the game cabin, but in the end they have to do housework...

However, this kind of "disaster level dog" does not appear often. There are strict restrictions on the dog's personality. It can be said that all dogs are little angels, but some dogs will let themselves go by accident. , It can be regarded as a kind of surprise (scare) for the owner.

This situation is controlled within a certain range, so players welcome it, after all, this is the difference between keeping a real dog and keeping an electronic pet. Electronic pets will hardly do anything to make the owner unhappy, as long as they play according to the strategy, they will be able to take good care of it, but in this way, a lot of fun will be lost.

However, many players expressed concern about Gouzi's life: "If I treat Gouzi badly, or neglect it because I am busy, will it cause permanent psychological trauma to it, which cannot be repaired?"
