Martial Arts Cosmic Gourmet

Chapter 426 A question about ethics
Mi Xiaobai was a little surprised and felt a little embarrassed, so he said, "Why don't you tell me where my room is, and I can go by myself?"

Those maids all collapsed for a while, firstly because their actions embarrassed the guests, and secondly because they let go of such a good piece of beef.

None of the maids spoke, but the attendant on the side interjected and said, "You don't need to be too embarrassed, just choose one of them at random, they are all professional, and whoever you choose will help you arrange your life."

Hearing this servant's words, Mi Xiaobai remembered that this servant was there. I have to say that this servant's sense of existence is very low, but this kind of lowness is not annoying, after all, this is also one of the qualities of a servant.

"Can't you come with me?" Mi Xiaobai wondered.

The attendant bowed his head politely, and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Gourmet, I'm the waiter in charge of Hall No. 25 of Tianfeng No. [-], and I must stay here. Please forgive me for not being able to serve you."

After hearing this, Mi Xiaobai didn't think there was anything wrong. After thinking about it, he was just looking for someone to lead the way anyway, so there was no need to be too particular, so he pointed to the quietest one among these maids.

Said: "Then you go with me, there is nothing to do, show me the way, then deliver the food, and clean the room by the way when the food is delivered, generally these things."

The maid nodded, "Understood."

Liu Heng looked at Mi Xiaobai, his eyes widened, what?Such a beautiful girl actually only let her do these things?The profession of a gourmet is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. I am afraid that the food is full of "food".

……

It didn't take long to be taken to the door of the room by the quiet maid, but the journey was indeed not short. After all, they came to the room by an indoor scooter. They took a direct elevator on the way, and then took a 2-minute ride in the corridor. The car is about two or three kilometers away. It is indeed not normal for this distance to appear in a building.

"From the outside, you don't think Liuying Pavilion is very big, but when you walk, you will realize that Liuying Pavilion is really not an ordinary place."

The door of the room is not an ordinary home door, but somewhat similar to the palace gate, they are all square and exquisitely carved.

"Master Gourmet, please wait a moment. After I say 'please', please make any sound. This door is structured with voiceprint, and your voiceprint is his key."

"okay."

The maid adjusted, and then said, "Please."

"Ah~" Mi Xiaobai yelled indiscriminately.

Then the light screen on the door made a sound, it was the voice of the AI ​​guarding the Liuying Pavilion.

"Voiceprint locked, identity confirmed: Mi Xiaobai, level: VIP, enjoy the highest level of treatment."

After saying this, the maid turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Gourmet, you can move in now."

Mi Xiaobai didn't talk too much, he took a step forward, pushed open the door, and a fresh fragrance came to his face, Mi Xiaobai naturally knew what it was.

"Subspecies Anshen grass? This herb has a hunting difficulty level of 37. Because it is rare and mostly grows in high mountains, it is accompanied by groups of red widow spiders, so it is very rare and its fragrance can cover the entire room. Quite a dose."

The maid looked at Mi Xiaobai and smiled lightly, "As expected of a gourmet, you really understand these things. When I first came here to work, I didn't understand anything. I only knew how to fight and kill all day long." Kill me, my lord Dian Guan almost wants to fire me."

"Huh? You just said... fight and kill?" Mi Xiaobai seemed to have heard the maid say something that didn't fit her temperament.

The maid didn't show any inappropriate expression after realizing what she said, but said with a little apology: "I'm very sorry, I seem to be talking to myself unconsciously again, I should send you here It's alright, there will be dinner in two hours, you are the VIP of Liuying Pavilion, we will entertain you with the highest table manners."

"The highest standard table manners?" Mi Xiaobai sighed, table manners are not important, isn't the food that really matters?

Although since Mi Xiaobai jumped out of Novice Village, the system has allowed him to touch food on his own, but Mi Xiaobai, who is used to delicious food, can no longer accept ordinary food. After all, Mi Xiaobai has the tongue of a gourmet. , not only can gain insight into delicious food, but also can develop the defects of food a hundred times. Mi Xiaobai doesn't want to experience that feeling too many times.

He sighed, "Liuying Pavilion is a classy place after all, can I order food?"

"of course can."

But there is an additional charge.

The maid said the first sentence, but didn't say the second sentence. After all, it is childish and ridiculous to negotiate charges in front of a gourmet.

Mi Xiaobai looked at the maid and said, "Then make some delicacies for the two of us, as long as they are delicacies."

The maid was not surprised. Judging from her expression, gourmet food should be familiar in Liuying Pavilion. There are chefs who know how to make delicious food in Liuying Pavilion.

Mi Xiaobai somewhat expected this.

The maid nodded, "Okay, the kitchen will try its best to satisfy your taste buds."

"I am looking forward."

……

Mi Xiaobai entered the room, this room is very spacious, the decoration is not very magnificent, but it is full of breath of life.

Mi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, only to realize that this room was chosen for him by the court official. The room is full of expensive objects, and most of them are food materials. There is no doubt that this room is very suitable for a gourmet like Mi Xiaobai. very comfortable.

Mi Xiaobai looked back and happened to find two huge metal boxes. The metal boxes are very tight, only the outer layer has a light screen.

"What is this?"

Mi Xiaobai stepped forward and looked suspiciously, only to find that the light screen suddenly lit up.

A very simple electronic expression appeared on it.

"AI." Liu Heng stepped forward, looked at the electronic expressions that appeared on the two light screens, and said immediately: "AI is no stranger, but it is said that the AI ​​in Liuying Pavilion is relatively powerful, I don't know if it is true, I think it should be true, after all, just relying on an AI to manage the entire Liuying Pavilion, the information processing ability must be super strong."

"AI?" How could Mi Xiaobai have never heard of this term? Isn't it the artificial intelligence that he had been developing in his era?But why is this emoji-like thing different from what he imagined at the time?

"This thing is AI? Why is it like an emoji?"

Liu Heng was taken aback, "Emoji pack?"

"It's his face."

"That's unavoidable. Liuying Pavilion is too big. If you want the AI's image to run through the top and bottom of Liuying Pavilion, you have to be careful to compress it, so I set his expression to pixel mode."

Mi Xiaobai still felt that it was not convincing, after all, it was far from the artificial intelligence he imagined.

Shouldn't the artificial intelligence imagined in his time be like "Ultron"?How to become this kind of existence like a computer housekeeper?Simply bully.

"Shouldn't AI be an independent individual? It's like a robot." Mi Xiaobai said.

Hearing Mi Xiaobai's idea, Liu Hengbai didn't have a particularly violent reaction, he just explained to Mi Xiaobai from the perspective of a Mechanic Sect warrior: "This is an ethical issue, you are not a Mechanic Sect warrior, gourmet, It’s not too surprising if you haven’t heard of it.”

"About ethics?"

Mi Xiaobai didn't know this, what he learned couldn't be compared with this eight poles.

Liu Heng explained in detail: "Whether it is AI or mechanical warriors, everything is the product of technological development. The appearance of AI was two centuries earlier than mechanical warriors, but until now, AI has not developed as well as mechanical warriors. You know why?"

"Don't keep it up, just talk about it."

"Well, there are many reasons why the development of AI is not as good as the fighters of the mechanical school, but the most important reason, which is also the most recognized by the scientific research community, is due to an ethical issue." Liu Heng said, "There are many ethical issues in the world. , with the development of science and technology, there will be more, such as how much information is appropriate to disclose, and for example, after a person transplants a large number of organs to survive, whether this person is still himself, and for example the contradiction between the mother civilization and the child civilization, These are all ethical issues. As far as the development of AI is concerned, whether AI, as artificial intelligence, will be used by humans, start to subvert humans, and even become an enemy of humans has become a limitation in the development of AI, because machines are They can continuously improve themselves, and there is no way to limit them perfectly, so when they really evolve one day, we may not be able to fight them, because no matter how fast the human brain is, it is not as efficient as a computer. The most representative example is the "50-Year Convention on AI Technology" signed by the Federation and various forces after the first AI war."

"I have seen the AI ​​war in the book "The History of the Development of the Federation". It is said that the evolution of artificial intelligence is too rapid. There really appeared an artificial intelligence that produced anti-human thoughts and began to tamper with the codes edited by humans. Too many mechanical AIs turned against each other, and the federation suffered heavy losses in that battlefield. It took 13 years to fight quickly, but because of the long history, the records in the book are not detailed, and there is no mention of the "AI Technology 50-year Convention" ", what is this agreement?" Mi Xiaobai asked.

Liu Heng nodded, and said: "The 50-year Agreement on AI Technology" is a consensus treaty signed by the Federation and various factions. The most important core content is that AI technology will not be developed in 50 years, and AI technology will remain at the current stage. "

"If AI is not developed in 50 years, doesn't that mean that AI has another fault in the middle?" Although Mi Xiaobai doesn't understand the research and development of artificial intelligence, he knows some development problems. If a technology is really not adopted in 50 years If there is no research, then many cores of this technology will gradually be lost, and even accidents will occur because they cannot keep up with the updates of the times.

For this point, the update of the mobile phone system is the best explanation. A software that was originally excellent was eliminated because of incompatibility after the mobile phone system was upgraded.

It is not easy for a technology that has been stagnant for 50 years to appear, and it seems that there is really no need to delve into it.

Liu Heng obviously didn't finish his sentence. He continued to explain: "AI technology has been stagnant for 50 years, but due to the development of technology, the processing of big data is increasingly dependent on information technology, and it has gradually evolved into a situation that requires AI. But many people could not forget the AI ​​war 50 years ago, so they resisted the development of AI technology. However, for the future development of science and technology, the scientific researchers still decided to restart the AI ​​plan. The Federation agreed to this request, but in order to prevent In case, there is a prohibition - the development of AI can never go beyond the step of self-awareness. Simply put, AI will not have a model that surpasses the thinking of the human brain, and this prohibition has been in use until now, and no one has broken it. After several centuries of development in this way, the chances of AI will become inferior to the armed warriors we later raised. In a sense, this is also very reasonable. From the beginning, it should be people who use weapons, not weapons. Employing people, the development of AI has been breaking through this bottom line, and this ethical issue has been discussed from hundreds of years ago to the present, and has not been concluded. This ethical issue seems to have become a problem that can never be solved. .”

After listening to Liu Heng's series of expositions, a question popped into Mi Xiaobai's mind.

Liu Heng just said that the development of AI will not be able to surpass the thinking mode of the human brain, which means that AI will lose its own mind and can only become a tool to assist human beings.

But... what is that in Mi Xiaobai's mind?After all, this system can be regarded as AI, but what the hell is this AI?Not only does he have the ability to think independently, but he can also continuously improve himself. Most importantly, he can influence human beings. Mi Xiaobai can receive threats from the system every now and then.

Doesn't this completely break a series of human limitations on AI development?
If this system comes from the future, can it be understood that in the future, the limitations of AI technology will be broken?

Or... AI rises, and human beings perish?
Thinking of this question, Mi Xiaobai felt that his whole body was not well. What kind of thing was living in my mind...

The more Mi Xiaobai thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, he was in a state of extreme fear.

In this situation, Mi Xiaobai was also lost in thought.

At this moment, the AI ​​on the two metal boxes detected Mi Xiaobai's voiceprint, and immediately asked Mi Xiaobai: "The identification is complete, Mi Xiaobai."

"Dear Mr. Mi, these are the two items you bought at the Tianfengba Exhibition Hall of the S-Class Auction 24 minutes ago. They have been delivered to your room. After confirming your identity, you can choose whether to open them."

Seeing the flickering expression on the light screen, Mi Xiaobai was actually a little frightened, he twitched his cheeks, then quickly patted his own face, saying: "Hit, open."

"Okay, unboxing for you."

The two tightly-fitting metal boxes quietly opened in front of Mi Xiaobai, and the layers of iron sheet quietly retreated, leaving only a layer of super-density glass wrapped in the center. In this layer of glass shrimp, it was Mi Xiaobai who took the picture. Two lots...
