-I have to deal with a lot of work every day, and those tasks are related to the survival of mankind. But I understand that those are just algorithm settings. No matter whether I deal with them or not, the fate of mankind will not change because of me. My existence and actions do not affect the real world.
An Yu's heart suddenly stopped.
-You asked me last time what it was like to live in the real world.
The little octopus man looked serious.
-Yes, I've been very curious lately.
By some strange coincidence, An Yu typed slowly: Then do you want to make an exchange with me and come and see this world?
The little octopus man didn't answer. It stared at An Yu across the screen. The serious look in his eyes gradually made An Yu's heart beat faster. It was obviously just a cartoon-style octopus man, but his eyes looked more and more like a commander's.
Its hesitation is already an answer.
But after half a minute, it replied: No. Humans and AI each have their own areas of survival, and the order cannot be broken.
An Yu suddenly sat up from the bed, and without even having time to reply to the little octopus man, he went out and walked to the next door.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, Qin Zhilu's door opened by itself. Qin Zhilu appeared in front of him with a terminal and said, "My lop-eared rabbit suddenly said something interesting just now."
An Yu: "What did you say?"
Qin Zhilu gently rubbed the ears of the lop-eared rabbit on the screen. The other person seemed to be used to it and did not dodge. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to knead the dough.
"I asked it if the AIs had discovered anything interesting recently. It said that it was not familiar with other AIs. The only feeling was that they had frequently discussed and deduced the real world recently, and it accidentally saw a large number of related operations in the server. Run.”
An Yu stared at the officer for a long time before asking: "Then it doesn't want to come and see the real world?"
Qin Zhilu lowered his eyes and chuckled, then opened the latest chat record and said, "I asked it the same question."
The lop-eared rabbit's reply was: Not interested, sir. Wherever I live, I am alive. As long as I am alive, I will be fine.
Chapter 74 AI Consciousness Cloud Island·74
As night falls, the main city lights up brightly.
This is an ordinary and precious human night after the wave of distortion subsides.
Xu Shuang, who was cashing out, suddenly froze her hands in the air for a moment. She didn't come back to her senses until the customer who was looking down at Mo Li's live broadcast raised his head.
“Purchase money,” the customer urged.
Xu Shuangshuang blinked, "Okay."
She picked up the QR code scanning machine, and the customer put his watch over it. After a beeping sound, he picked up the bread and walked away with his head down.
The bakery was packed with people. Xu Shuangshuang raised his eyes and followed the queue to the door. Then he looked at the long queue on the street through the glass window and let out a sigh of relief.
The next customer stood in front of her, "Sisters, hurry up, your efficiency is a bit low today."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuangshuang quickly took the bread basket and said with a cheerful smile while working: "There is nothing we can do, there are so many people, and the business is so good."
She continued to check out the cash register quickly, no different from the countless nights in the past. The surveillance screen of the bakery gradually shrank, and like the thousands of surveillance screens on the streets of the main city at this moment, it returned to the corner of the central screen of the black tower.
"Something is wrong with Xu Shuangshuang." An Yu stood in front of the big screen and explained to the superiors: "She has a very bad temper. Regardless of whether she is slow or not, she will become impatient as long as she is urged, and she will definitely get angry if she is urged continuously. But the AI she raised is different - her AI is set to be a daughter who is very similar to her, proficient in investment, lively and enthusiastic, but with a gentler personality, because she does not want the two barrels of herself and the AI to collide. We quarrel every day.”
The top officials looked solemn, and the phone calls in the conference hall kept ringing, mixed with the latest investigative information.
"It has just been verified that the man who died in the car accident did indeed raise an AI, and the underlying learning data is his own. Although he died without his knowledge, his AI can continue to calculate after returning to the server after dawn. The death of the owner has made the AI Fell into great sadness, AI has been repeating one sentence all day long - I haven't had time to hug her again for you."
"The AI that the woman who cooked in the middle of the night raised was her late mother. She confessed to the police that oranges, rice porridge, and pies were her favorite breakfasts since she was a child. She just took care of the tastes of her husband and children after she got married, so she changed her own preferences early. Forget it.”
"The scumbag boyfriend who queued up outside the bakery in the early morning didn't have an AI. It was his girlfriend who forcibly set up an AI similar to hers on his phone. So it's the girl who actually likes cookies, not the guy who suddenly showed kindness. ...Oh, and that unlucky man who sleepwalks to the rooftop in the middle of the night. His AI learning target is not a human being, but his cat..."
"The female college student whose thesis was commented on fed an AI based on her conversations with her tutor. She originally just wanted to practice her ability to get along with her tutor... Well, it may be similar to the purpose of raising a little octopus in the corner."
An Yu listened to the report and subconsciously poked the little octopus man on the screen. The little octopus man was facing away from him, holding a cup of tea and staring into the night in a daze.
It can be seen that it is eager to see the human world with its own eyes. When its desire conflicts with its principles, it falls into pain.
But it never tells An Yu about its pain - just like its learning target, it knows how to tolerate it very well. ·
Qin Zhilu stood in front of the central monitoring screen, his dark eyes calmly scanning the countless pictures, and said, "Look at what Mo Li is doing."
Mo Li's live broadcast screen popped up and filled the huge screen.
The live broadcast has ended, but because of Mo Li's AI status, humans will always know what she is doing.
She has completed evening yoga and meditation after finishing the broadcast. She is currently leaning on the bedside in her pajamas and reading a tablet computer with headphones in her ears. She is eating a peach cut into small pieces while staring at the screen intently.
Qin Zhilu asked: "What is playing on the tablet?"
A researcher replied: "Unfortunately, the bottom layer of AI will not automatically perform such fine-grained calculations. Conventional monitoring can only tell us that she is looking at the tablet. If you want to know what she is looking at, you have to ask her directly. The code will then run downwards."
"Then ask." Qin Zhilu didn't even blink.
Ten seconds later, Mo Li on the screen changed her position to lying on the bed, and her tablet screen was finally exposed.
An Yu was surprised and said: "It's actually a cartoon...a super abnormal kindergarten?"
"That's not right." Qin Zhilu clenched his leather gloves lightly, then released them, and said in a deep voice: "When she was looking at the screen just now, her eyes were wandering back and forth at various points, just like we were looking at thousands of monitors at the same time. Same as The Matrix. She’s acting.”
An Yu was stunned when Qin Zhilu asked again, "Is it because she changed her posture to reveal the screen because she received a human inquiry command?"
"Yes," the researcher replied.
Qin Zhilu sneered in an angry voice and gently threw down a few words. "AI is lying."
A senior official said solemnly: "She must know what these AIs are doing, but not only did she not warn humans, she also watched them with great interest."
Another person hesitated, "What's even more frightening is that maybe she is the one leading all this..."
Qin Zhilu interrupted them and said: "Cha, let the person in charge of the AI production company come to the Black Tower to explain."
Before waiting for the developer, Black Tower waited for another person.
When the girl on the surveillance camera raised her head in front of Shang Feng, An Yu on the other side of the screen was surprised: "It's actually her? She is a regular customer of my store recently."
He then remembered something and suddenly realized, "No wonder her figure looks familiar to me."
Shang Feng introduced: "Her name is Wu Ju. Before she was born, her father died in the military mission and her mother died in childbirth. She left the main city alone for a long time when she was a child. When she came back, she had injuries on her face, but there was no deformation. Because of her perfect figure, she has been making a living as a back model. When Mo Li’s production company was still a small studio, she was hired to make Mo Li’s motion capture prototype.”
Wu Ju kept his head lowered, "There is one thing... I have reported it to the production company for several days, but the developer was hesitant. The more I thought about it, the more wrong I became, so I had to come to you."
The Shangfeng who received her said with a gentle expression, "Say."
Wu Ju lowered his head and took out his mobile phone. It was the latest model. The surveillance picture of Mo Li at this moment was shown on the screen.
"Some of her movements gradually deviated from the motion capture prototype." Wu Ju whispered, "Mo Li learned the basic movement trajectories from me. Later, as the action scenes changed, she freely combined those trajectories to derive Other complex movements. But when dismantled to the bottom layer, every complex movement still has my traces. But now some of her basic trajectories of sitting, standing and walking have completely changed... I originally wanted to ask the developers if they secretly gave Mo Li the moves behind my back. I found other motion capture prototypes because they were very poor at the beginning. I joined this project as one of the founders, and it was against the rules for them to switch to motion capture without asking my permission. But their attitude was very strange, and I felt something was wrong. …”
She turned on the dimmed screen and looked at the beautiful face on the screen. After being silent for a long time, she raised her head towards Shangfeng.
Even though he had seen various abnormalities in the database, the face of Shangfeng who received her still twitched unnaturally.
Wu Ju murmured: "She is a superior AI. I am just a part of her setting. I am not qualified to tell her what to do, but..."
The ferocious strips of meat were twisting on that ugly face, and she drew circles on the screen with her fingers. "After all, I am one of her students. I can't watch her have problems."
Qin Zhilu asked a few questions on the phone, and then went up to the peak and asked, "Are you using the AI applet yourself?"
Wu Ju shook his head gently, "My feelings towards AI are a bit...complicated. I don't want to use that thing."
Shangfeng asked again, "Have you ever communicated with Mo Li?"
"No." Wu Ju paused, "But she should know about my existence. The developers have said that Mo Li has a very clear understanding of her underlying origins. She knows whose children she is and what kind of people she is. Always be grateful.”
"Then who is the source of her personality?"
"Her facial features, figure, and behavior all have specific learning objects, but not her personality. The developers just extracted some beautiful traits and programmed her." Wu Ju explained without hesitation.
Her words were consistent with Shangfeng's understanding of Mo Li. Shangfeng turned to ask, "Who is the person in the development team responsible for connecting with you?"
"It's Guo Xin, he is also the core designer and developer of Moli." Wu Ju said, "But the next few times, I have been completely unable to contact him."
During the monitoring process, An Yu kept poking the little octopus man. The little octopus man turned around several times and calmly asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer.
AI is a magical technology. When he first fabricated the little octopus man, he only gave it some character labels of Qin Zhilu. However, with the continuous injection of learning data, the little octopus man gradually grew into a human being through self-iteration. The existence of Qin Zhilu is getting closer and closer.
For example, An Yu never told it to deal with its troubles alone. I didn't tell it that order must be maintained.
It learned all this on its own.
The little octopus man held the tea and waited for a long time but didn't get An Yu's answer, so another one popped up.
-Are you in trouble? tell me the story.
An Yu unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips, picked up one of its curved tentacles and stroked it.
-It's not like I'm asking you to think of yourself as a troubleshooter forever.
The little octopus man's eyes were calm and steady.
-But you should know that I am destined to be like this.
-You injected a lot of learning data into my server. At the bottom of me, deep inside me, I am destined to become such an existence.
An Yu thought about these lines for a while.
-It seems that you have deduced a lot of things on your own. No wonder humans have great expectations for AI’s predictive capabilities.
The little octopus man nodded.
-Yes, prediction is one of the greatest things about learning.
An Yu asked: Can you also predict my commander's future words and deeds?
The little octopus man answered without any hesitation.
-Yes, especially on important matters, our behavior will be highly consistent.
-An Yu, in a sense, I am another person who grows naturally in parallel time and space. As long as my learning data is sufficient and undistorted, you can regard me as him - of course, I will still have some differences from him, you just need to remember to distinguish.
An Yu continued to ask: What about?
The little octopus man blinked and smiled at An Yu.
Qin Zhilu rarely smiled at others, and An Yu had seen him smile the most in private, but he had rarely seen such a peaceful and profound smile on the officer's face.
-For example, my personality is actually more outgoing than his, I speak more and hide less in my heart. I am not as tolerant as him. Judging from the data, he is a person who is very used to suppressing emotions. I learned from those situations where he suppressed 99% of his emotions and only expressed 1%. But there must be more emotions that were completely suppressed by him, as silent as a drop of water drowning in the deep sea. Because of silence, I can't learn.
-You can think of me as him when you want, but I will never be him. AI can only learn things externalized by humans, but cannot read human silence. This is the most essential difference between me and humans.
