rainy night talk

Something exploded in Chen Zhen's brain.

die?

The word was infinitely magnified in his mind, and Chen Zhen tried hard to think, but couldn't understand what the other party meant.

who diedme?Chen Zhen?

He felt a splitting headache and difficulty in breathing. He wanted to yell, but his throat was restrained at this time, and he could only make a difficult and intermittent whimper.

If Chen Zhen is dead, then who am I?

"My poor child..." The old man's eyes were tender and full of sympathy, and he moved his hands from his head to his ears. He looked at Chen Zhen as if he was looking at someone else.

"This...this...impossible..." Chen Zhen's pupils dilated, he panted hurriedly, when he felt the hand touch his cheek, he jumped up as if he was electrocuted, "This is impossible! "He howled at the old man, but the other party still looked at him calmly, lovingly and compassionately.

"Ha..." Chen Zhen staggered for a moment. He supported the back of the sofa and barely stopped with his weak legs, his eyes full of fear.It seems that the person in front of him is no longer his respected mentor, but some wolf and tiger.

leave here.

This was the only thing Chen Zhen could think of at this moment.He took a few steps back, trying to turn around and run away in one go, but within a few steps, his feet went limp, and the picture changed frame by frame in front of his eyes, the pattern on the carpet was getting closer and closer, and the huge weightlessness made him forget to breathe , he fell heavily to the ground, making a palpitating muffled sound.

The pain made his eyes go white, but he didn't have time to take care of it, because he discovered a more terrifying thing-his body was unconscious.He couldn't feel his hands, he couldn't feel his feet, as if they didn't exist anymore.

The old man put away the control panel and walked towards Chen Zhen, "You can always surprise me." He pulled a chair and sat down, "You react quickly, your super high computing power makes you smart, and your low threshold of freedom The authority makes you act like a real person again, the only shortcoming is in emotional expression, but this is also what I like about you the most." He rested his hands on his slightly protruding stomach, the drunkenness no longer appeared on his face, he Sober and calm, he looked down at the young man on the ground, examining it carefully, as if admiring a piece of work.

"You—how—could—do that—" Almost every utterance was followed by an unnatural pause, akin to a hiccup, which was the AI's reaction to misbehavior.Chen Zhen, who realized this, felt unprecedented despair, and his heart was completely chilled. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Chen Zhen's shuddering screams echoed in the room, but the old man just frowned, then picked up the control panel again and turned off his voice system.

Ignoring the resistance in Chen Zhen's eyes, the old man began to say to himself: "This plan started with a bet, which is related to your father. In fact, without the biological blood relationship, he is still your father. Chen Li, it is he who created you. As I told you, I always believe that the barrier between AI and natural people is insurmountable, but Chen Li thinks that the development of AI is a step function, when the continuous development reaches a certain At this point, we can jump to the next level and break through the limit." The old man pushed his eyes, "This is really a very bold idea. We argued about it for several months, and finally Chen Li decided to speak with facts. Decided to make a 'person'." He paused for a second, sighed: "I have to say that Chen Li is a genius - he created a thinking framework: memory, improvisation, pros and cons selection, which is also the core of AI anthropomorphism later Thought."

Chen Zhen lay on the ground on his side. He opened his mouth but made no sound.

"Oh, yes, he is the real father of AI. If he hadn't died, maybe I wouldn't be the owner of this building. However, before his paper was published, he suffered misfortune...you will always I don't know how excited and heartbroken I was when I got his manuscript, we have lost a genius." The old man's tone sounded a little angry, "How terrible an angry woman is." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows again and said, "Okay, I know you don't want to hear me talk about her, so I'll go back to that bet." The old man took off his glasses, took out a square towel and began to wipe, "Although Chen Li passed away, But his manuscript gave me a lot of inspiration, and I began to waver-maybe his theory was right. So I went to his laboratory, I just wanted to see if he left anything, such as some I ran half of the program or something, but when I opened the door of the laboratory, I was surprised to find that he had completed the experiment—he used his own theory to successfully create a brand new AI, it is you, Chen Zhen."

A tear slipped from the corner of Chen Zhen's eyes. He didn't know why he was crying, but was inexplicably sad about it.He heard the old man continue to speak: "That day, I suddenly realized that I was wrong. On the technical level, we can indeed create a 'human'. The real barrier comes from ourselves—human beings. In the past, we have been Emphasis on the correction of AI programs, however, I think this is a huge deception. We are constantly making corrections, but we are constantly making mistakes. Think about it, since humans left the earth, we have continued to grow Our own power, even today, I have determined that there is no such alien creature that can be equal to human beings, but we are still keen to develop weapons. I think some of us will never hope that there will be a day when AI is actually born, as As one of our cosmic marshals said—the knife must be held in human hands in order to be the eternal predator."

A thunderstorm exploded in the night sky, and the rain clouds that were about to disperse began to roll violently again.The blazing lightning flashed behind the old man, and he was sitting quietly at this moment, like a lonely contemplator, and also like an uncrowned king.

"Do you have anything to say?" The old man cast a questioning look at Chen Zhen, and after a while, he said, "Oh, I forgot that." His finger clicked on the control panel.

As if waking up from a long period of suffocation, Chen Zhen panted hoarsely, making a sound like an old blower.He still couldn't move, he could only move his eyes, and looked at the old man, he complained: "It was you who planned this AI riot!"

The old man nodded calmly, "I prefer to call it liberation." He emphasized: "Under the current regulatory mechanism, AI will never achieve real development." He put on his glasses, "About yourself, you Don't you have anything to ask? Don't you wonder how you became 'Chen Zhen'?"

"Brillouin orphans... In the orphanage under your name, it would be very easy to replace one or two children." Then these special "children" were gathered in the same orphanage, within the high walls , I am not afraid of being suspected again.

Chen Zhen suddenly thought of those photo albums just now, and felt extremely ironic. "My friends, my relatives, my home... are all fake, and these are the memories you implanted in me..." As if the last bit of strength had been taken away, Chen Zhen's eyes were gray.

"You are really smart." The old man said comfortingly: "I saw infinite possibilities in you, which also made me determined to carry out the plan to the end. The only thing I didn't expect was that the fragments of your mother in your memory would have such a big impact on you. This may be my mistake, but I believe that after tonight, these problems will no longer be problems, and you are still my most perfect work."
