I am a great scientist

Chapter 59 Fatal flaw

"What's the reason? There is still a reason for publishing a paper? Xiao Zhou, don't lie to us old men!"

"What are your difficulties! The reason why it's hard to say is too far-fetched!"

"Xiaoxing! It's not that we are unreasonable. This paper is not trivial. Once it is publicized, it will be known to the world, and it will attract countless forces to spy on it. It will be difficult to continue to cover your head and concentrate on research! You have to think clearly! "

"Old Fang is right! Xiao Zhou, you are still young, and you won't be able to stand the temptation of fame, wealth, power and sex, and your life will be ruined!"

"..."

Zhou Xing's sincere words can't impress the "hard heart" of the professors. Zhou Xing is only a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old. He has a small "difficulty", which is as important as leading other countries in the field of artificial intelligence. A correct The research direction can save an astonishing sum of funds and scientific research manpower investment. Once the theory of "two criteria and variables" is announced to the public, it will definitely become the mainstream artificial intelligence research direction, and it will greatly accelerate the speed of artificial intelligence research and development in other countries. How can you do something that benefits others but not yourself?

Hearing their various rebuttals, Zhou Xing smiled speechlessly. He had expected their reactions. He never thought that he could impress them with just one sentence.

"Professors, there is still a fatal flaw in the 'binomial criterion and variables' theory, have you discovered it?" Looking at the professors present, Zhou Xing smiled calmly:
Hearing this, the faces of the professors changed drastically, and they looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief. Did he leave a back door in advance to publish the paper?

"How could there be a fatal flaw? The learning system operates stably, and each sub-module has a clear division of labor without interfering with each other, ... and can support variable modules without an upper limit. One day, the 'variable' will finally achieve a qualitative change, and 'artificial intelligence' will be born. ?” Professor Fang fixed his eyes on Zhou Xing:

"You lied to us, right? The 'binary criterion and variable' is not flawed at all!" Professor Yan stared at Zhou Xing with red eyes and questioned:
"The two criteria constitute the basis of the 1+1 parallel stability of the system, and the 'variables' are embedded in the main dominant optimization environment. Such a perfect design has no flaws! None!"

"Xiaoxing, what's the flaw? You're talking!"

"..."

The professors were frightened by Zhou Xing's words, and they couldn't wait for the dawn of the birth of "artificial intelligence". Is it going to be shattered?
"The two criteria and variables are designed by me, and I know everything about them, so I say there are!" Zhou Xing explained loudly, "That's right, the structure of the criteria 1+1 is very stable, and the "variables" can be embedded in the system infinitely. Optimizing the environment of the learning system, but to meet the "variables" that cause qualitative changes and meet the needs of the birth of artificial intelligence, the number of "variables" will be an astronomical number. Even if all the hard disks on the market are arrayed, they will not be able to carry the capacity of the birth of artificial intelligence. Demand! This is the fatal flaw of 'binomial criterion and variable'!"

Hearing this, the faces of the professors suddenly became very ugly. They only paid attention to the excellence of the "binomial criterion and variables" learning system software, but ignored the fatal flaws in the hardware, and used the "binomial criterion and variables" to The constructed learning system requires an extremely large storage space, and it is possible to breed 'artificial intelligence'.

Looking at the professors whose faces were weakened and who had suffered a huge blow, Zhou Xing sighed, feeling a little bit unbearable.

In the virtual laboratory, with endless storage space, Zhou Xing himself tried to use the "binomial criterion and variable" to build the learning system, so that the learning system can learn by itself, evolutionary learning, analogy learning, simulation learning, ... and finally a "Artificial intelligence" with autonomous consciousness - Xiaozhi
Just when Zhou Xing was going to replicate this laboratory in the real world, a basin of cold water poured over his head.

In order to make "Xiaozhi" be born, the hard disk capacity consumed by the virtual laboratory is as high as tens of billions of TB. At the same time, as Xiaozhi grows and evolves, its demand for storage space increases by several thousand TB per second, and with the With the growth and evolution of Xiaozhi, its demand for storage space continues to increase, ..., the huge storage demand of human beings today's most advanced electronic level can not give birth to "artificial intelligence".

"You just showed me hope, and then you let me see despair again. You are so cruel to me! You are so cruel!" Professor Yan stared at Zhou Xing with hatred, excruciatingly painful:
"I'll just say it! It's impossible for artificial intelligence to be born, even if it won't happen in 100 years!"

"It is impossible for artificial intelligence to be born so early. Even today's most advanced computers are [-] million times weaker in computing power than the human brain, and the processing ability of 'consciousness' is not qualified for simple machines to learn."

"Machine cannot provide 'self-awareness'. This direction is wrong. Artificial intelligence should start with biology."

"..."

The silence of disappointment lasted for a while, and the professors recognized the reality, one by one in pain, absent minded, and murmured to themselves at a loss, feeling confused about the field they had researched and developed all their lives:

"Professors, scientific research is always about finding a way in the dark. This way doesn't work, so there are other ways to go! Don't let it get you down!" Zhou Xing comforted them nervously:
Professor Fang was shocked, looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes and asked, "Do you have other ideas?"

Hearing this, the professors forgot their disappointment and troubles, and looked at Zhou Xing as if they saw a life-saving straw.

"Well, I have some ideas, such as using more advanced computer languages ​​for programming, such as: developing super-large-capacity information storage technology, or as Professor Liu said, taking the route of biochips..., all roads lead to Rome! "Zhou Xing met the professors' fiery eyes, and answered bravely:
"Yes! Yes! There are still many directions! Don't be discouraged! At least the 'binomial criterion and variable' theory allows us to realize that 'artificial intelligence' is likely to be cultivated by humans!"

"That's right! It's not too late to change direction now! The biological direction is more feasible."

"Since the 'binary criteria and variables' have the greatest chance of producing artificial intelligence, then we should continue. The development language of the learning system is too heavy, and a language specially designed for artificial intelligence should be developed..."

"No, 'Binomial Criterion and Variables' is fundamentally flawed, and no matter how advanced the language is, it will not be given."

"..."

Zhou Xing's words greatly encouraged the professors. They are all veterans. They hit more walls on the road of research and development than Zhou Xing. Within a few minutes, they regained their research spirit of never giving up. A heated discussion ensued.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing was slightly taken aback, and then a helpless wry smile appeared on his face. The professors who encouraged the discussion ignored his existence, but the matter of publishing the paper has not yet been settled!
