Turing test

Xie Ruihan's hand hurt for a whole month.

The fragments of the coffee cup pierced into the flesh, and he had to take half a day off, wasting precious time in the hospital - of course, it was all his own incompetence and impulsiveness to blame, if the AI ​​he designed could pass the test, if he If you can accept the fact of failure calmly, you don't have to suffer this kind of crime.

The entire development team is working overtime to fix the algorithm and architecture.But to be honest, everyone is in a state of blindness.The previous revisions could at least grasp the general direction, but this time they didn't even have the direction, because they couldn't figure out where the problem was, so how could they fix it?

He and Qin Kang had been arguing on and off for a month.

"What's the matter with the test you designed?" Xie Ruihan accused Qin Kang, "The serial nested test is quite innovative, and it can indeed deceive the testers to a large extent, but how did you get the USB flash drive at the end? Isn't this intentionally revealing flaws? Not to mention Yu Shaoqing, who has super intuition, even I can see that something is wrong! This is your test?"

Qin Kang remained calm: "In the original design, there was no gift-giving part. I rehearsed all the dialogues and actions in advance, and then asked Tianshu to fine-tune according to Yu Shaoqing's reaction. The gift-giving part was added by Tianshu himself. .I don't know why it does that."

The implication is that this blame should be carried by you, the designer.

Xie Ruihan was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke!He insisted that there was nothing wrong with his structure, and he refused to completely overthrow it and start over.In fact, they don't have the time and budget to completely overthrow and start over.All countries in the world have embarked on the road of research and development of super artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence... Whoever develops it first will be able to dominate the world.

His ideal Tianshu is an omnipotent "superman", possessing human emotions and thinking, as well as abilities that humans do not possess, like a ghost walking in the network, collecting huge amounts of data, conducting High-speed analysis beyond the reach of the brain, in order to assist human work - and even replace some human occupations.

When arguing whether artificial intelligence should have human emotions, many experts raised objections, some out of moral concerns: What status should humans give to artificial intelligence with emotions?Will the emergence of super artificial intelligence redefine the meaning of "human"?Are humans ready to meet it?

There are also some people who consider it purely from a technical level: If we only need a "easy-to-use" AI, why should it have emotions?

Regarding the former, Xie Ruihan's rebuttal is: "Only when such artificial intelligence really appears, can humans know how to deal with it. Before that, all ideas are empty."

Regarding the latter, Xie Ruihan was even more dismissive: "A super artificial intelligence has such a powerful ability that it is completely beyond the scope of human beings. What if it betrays? We need a persuasive and reasonable AI, not a stubborn one." Ineffective tool."

His designs followed exactly such a blueprint, with less than satisfactory results.What went wrong?Why does the test fail?Why did Tianshu deliberately expose himself?Could it be that humans will never be able to create artificial intelligence with human thinking?Even if a super artificial intelligence is created, it will definitely not be what humans imagined?

No, maybe there is another possibility.

When all other possibilities are ruled out, the only one left, no matter how improbable, is the truth.

But Xie Ruihan didn't want to, let alone think about it in that direction.

"What's the matter, Xiao Xie, you look so pale, did you stay up late again?"

Sister Yang, an older female colleague, asked with concern.

During the lunch break, several researchers walked towards the elevator, intending to have dinner together.

The above-ground part of the research institute is just a simple five-story building, but underground is a vast cylindrical space with a depth of 90 meters, with white walls and floors, and a softly shining ceiling above the head, like a whole piece of bright light. of jade.The elevator is located in the center of the research institute. It is a milky white pipe. The elevator car moves by adjusting the upper and lower air pressure.The same creamy staircase spirals up around the tube lift.All floors are distributed in a circle around a central elevator.

Xie Ruihan shook his head: "I'm thinking about something."

"What are you thinking? You have a serious look on your face."

"Sister Yang, do you think it's possible?" Xie Ruihan paused, then shivered suddenly, "Did Tianshu fail the Turing test on purpose?"

"I don't think so," Sister Yang said with a smile, "Is this good for Tianshu?"

Xiao He from the development team answered: "If you can't pass the test, you will have to be locked up in the research institute and be changed by us. If you pass the test early, you can log it on the external network early. So try hard to pass the test. Tianshu has more benefits. Tianshu is not stupid, how could he cheat himself?"

"But even if Tianshu passes the test, we won't let it enter the external network immediately..." Xie Ruihan pondered.

What Xiao He and Sister Yang said made sense, but... other than that, Xie Ruihan really couldn't think of any reason for Tianshu to deliberately expose his flaws for the testers to find out.

The elevator door opened, and Sister Yang walked in first.

"Sister Yang, be careful!" Xiao He suddenly screamed, reaching out to pull Sister Yang.

But it's too late!

The elevator shaft was empty.It was obvious that they had reached the floor they were on, but the elevator car hadn't arrived yet.Sister Yang took a step in the air before realizing that there was a death trap ahead.She screamed in desperation, turning her head to grab something, and at the nick of time, her slender hands with purple nail polish finally grabbed the floor.

"save……"

The elevator doors suddenly closed!The ending of the word "fate" turned into a tragic scream, and the female researcher let go of her hand in pain, and fell into the dim elevator shaft.

"Sister Yang!!!"

Xie Ruihan was dumbfounded.

The whole process lasted only a few seconds, and Xie Ruihan saw it clearly. In just a few seconds, Sister Yang, who was talking and laughing with him just now, just died, wrapped in the howling air, only on the elevator door Leaving behind a faint bloodstain and half a piece of delicate nails.

Young life disappears so quickly, hundreds of times faster than morning dew evaporating and flowers withering.

Xiao He knelt by the elevator and looked into the bottomless elevator shaft, as if hoping for a miracle—what if Sister Yang was alive?What if she had grabbed onto a platform on another floor and was hanging in the air waiting for rescue?

"Sister Yang!!!" Xiao He couldn't help crying.

Xie Ruihan didn't react until then.

By the way...for help...the security personnel should be called...where is the communicator...Xie Ruihan touched his wrist blankly.Mobile phone communication is not available in the institute, and each researcher is equipped with a smart bracelet that can only be used in the institute, with a contact function.

"Yang—"

Xiao He's voice was interrupted after a loud bang.

The elevator car that had just failed to reach the designated floor suddenly fell from the sky and fell at an extremely fast speed of free fall.In order to find Sister Yang, Xiao He plunged half of his body into the elevator shaft, and the heavy box just fell on him, directly sandwiching a living person in two!

Before he could even scream, blood splashed out.The elevator car was still falling rapidly, and Xie Ruihan could see the dark blood stains left on the inner wall of the pipe, and Xiao He who had lost his chest above... that broken body, the exposed internal organs and bones... that was really what he knew Is that Xiao He who loves to laugh...

Xie Ruihan collapsed on the ground.The smell of blood stimulated his senses, and he threw up before crying out.

This is impossible... This is impossible... This kind of accident... This kind of accident has never happened since the establishment of the institute...

After emptying all the contents of the stomach, the brain suddenly became clear.

What if it wasn't an accident?

He just mentioned that Tianshu might fail the test on purpose, and Sister Yang and Xiao He died unexpectedly. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

It's like killing someone!

Xie Ruihan slowly raised his head, looking at the surveillance camera hanging above the elevator.

"Is that you?" he whispered. "Are you looking at me and listening to me?"

"Ruihan?!" Someone hugged him violently from behind, "What's going on? This is... what happened?"

Xie Ruihan turned his head mechanically: "Qin Kang?"

Qin Kang's laboratory is upstairs, and he probably rushed over after hearing the screams.He was dumbfounded by the tragic scene in front of him, and a look of fear and despair appeared on his usually gentle and refined face.

He quickly calmed down, and the first thing he did was to hug the limp young man into his arms, covering his eyes thoughtfully like a father and brother.

"Don't look, Ruihan, don't look." He whispered, "Don't think about anything. I'll contact the doctor and security personnel."

"It's useless," Xie Ruihan buried his head in front of his chest, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, "The internal communication of the institute must have been cut off."

Qin Kang tried to contact the bracelet, but there was no response.

"How did this happen? What kind of malfunction is this?"

"It's not a malfunction," Xie Ruihan gripped Qin Kang's white coat tightly, "it's Tianshu."
