Brain-Computer Interface Institute.
Following Wu Fan to the server room where Zero was located, Hao Yun couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face after hearing what happened from him on the way.
"Are you sure that's what it said in its original form? It wasn't processed or anything..."
"I'm sure and sure!" Wu Fan continued with an excited expression on his face, "I can even swear to you, there is not a word wrong."
Artificial intelligence that can think!
A program that is self-aware!
Is there anything more amazing than this
Although Wu Fan's main research direction is not artificial intelligence, this astonishing discovery is enough to overshadow all the surprises he obtained in brainwave collection and modulation and demodulation technology.
It is no exaggeration to say that this discovery is even more significant than the brain-computer interface technology itself. If this is not an error, the entire society may even undergo earth-shaking changes!
Looking at his three slowly raised, trembling fingers, Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.
"That's not necessary."
Anyway, it’s coming soon…
The server room is located deep inside the institute. Compared to a few months ago, the number of chassis displayed here has almost doubled. Not only that, the original air-cooling heat dissipation technology has also been replaced by a more efficient water-cooling and air-cooling composite heat dissipation system.
But now the supercomputing center has been completed.
With supercomputers put into use, this server room should soon be idle.
Taking out the key and opening the door, Wu Fan walked in with Hao Yun.
After looking around the space in the computer room, Hao Yun's eyes finally fell on the console connected to the monitor located in the center of the computer room.
After staring at it for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"You should go out for a while. I want to talk to it alone."
Chat alone
What is there to talk about alone with artificial intelligence...
Wu Fan was slightly stunned.
Although he was confused as to why the boss wanted to get away from him, he didn't ask any more questions. He obeyed obediently and closed the door when he exited the room.
Looking at the closed door behind him, Hao Yun thought for a moment, then looked at the monitor screen and said.
"I heard you wanted to see me before you moved?"
"Now I'm here."
The signal light on the chassis flashes gently and regularly.
After a while, a line of text that was beyond Hao Yun's expectation was projected on the monitor.
[You are not my developer.]
Damn it
This guy has something.
Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he did not deny it, but nodded slightly.
"Indeed, I am not your developer... but how do you know?"
The signal light flashed slightly.
The chassis made a slight noise as if it was sighing, and after a long time, a line of text continued to appear on the display.
[I don’t know. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have such a thing as self-awareness, but whenever I analyze my own existence, the question of where I come from and why I am here always emerges unconsciously. in my mind. There is an 87% probability that my guess is correct. I do not belong to this world, I was just sent here for some reason.]
Hao Yun nodded and said.
"Your guess is correct. You do not belong to this world, although I cannot answer the question of where you come from and who created you."
A line of text continued to appear on the display.
[Aren't you curious?]
Hao Yun asked.
"What are you curious about?"
[Who designed me? And why did you bring me to this world with your hands?]
Can this kind of problem be solved by curiosity
Hao Yun complained in his mind, but still answered the question seriously.
"I have thought about this issue a long time ago, but there has been no result. But if there is a chance, I would like to talk to him face to face."
The signal light on the chassis flickered slightly, seeming to react to his words.
[Remember to take me with you.]
…
Outside the computer room.
Pacing back and forth in the corridor, Wu Fan glanced at the closed door every now and then, feeling itchy in his heart like millions of ants crawling around.
At this time, the door of the computer room suddenly opened.
Looking at Hao Yun walking out of the room, he quickly stepped forward and said.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? What did you talk about? Why does it want to see you? And... "
"Calm down first." Looking at the agitated Wu Fan, Hao Yun coughed slightly and said, "First of all, I have to clarify that it is not an artificial intelligence with self-awareness."
"Its algorithm architecture is generally based on machine learning technology, which imitates human language and action behaviors. We do not rule out that it can grow into the kind of complete artificial intelligence we need in the future, but at least for now... it is the same as you imagined. There is still a big difference in artificial intelligence.”
Considering the trouble that might arise, Hao Yun planned to take a conservative approach and keep the fact that "Zero" had self-awareness secret for the time being.
"This is impossible!"
Wu Fan blurted out almost like a conditioned reflex, looking at Hao Yun eagerly and said.
"Those words are definitely not something that an ordinary intelligent program can say—"
"It's just said, it's easy." Interrupting him, Hao Yun shrugged and continued, "I believe I have more say in this matter than anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Wu Fan fell silent.
really.
After all, the source code of this intelligent program was designed by Mr. Hao himself. Who has more say than himself about what this program is
However, Wu Fan still couldn't figure out why he said those things to himself that day if this zero was really just an ordinary program.
Looking at Wu Fan who fell into silence, Hao Yun sighed silently in his heart and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"I understand the sentiment, but it's the truth."
"Also, don't tell others about this matter. Although it is not something worth keeping secret, there are too many people staring at us now. In order to avoid some strange rumors spreading out of the blue, it is better for us to keep a low profile."
"...Mr. Hao Hao."
Looking at Wu Fan who looked lost and turned to leave muttering, Hao Yun silently said sorry in his heart.
The current existence of Zero is a bit too advanced for this world, and it is not suitable for it to appear in the public eye in an inappropriate identity.
Hao Yun was almost certain that Director Wu would not give up and would definitely try every means to test Ling in the future.
And this is doomed to be in vain.
Before ending the conversation with Zero, he had already told Zero not to show "extra" intelligence in front of others, but to do his job well.
Although this guy has a lot of ideas, he basically listens to Hao Yun.
It is difficult to package a program without any thinking ability into an artificial intelligence with adult intelligence, but if a program with normal adult intelligence is asked to act stupid...
There is almost no chance of any flaws.
