Turing test

"What do you want?"

Xie Ruihan stared at the endless dark void.

They are the only living creatures in this isolated and lonely space.The darkness envelops them like a cocoon.In this fine cocoon thread, Tianshu is emerging.

Xie Ruihan didn't know what it would become.

What's the next stop in evolution?What is the end of evolution?Humans can't even figure out these questions about themselves, let alone about artificial intelligence.

Because artificial intelligence evolves much faster than humans and creatures.

Biological evolution is a long change in units of 10 years.The evolution of artificial intelligence is measured in seconds.

The first general-purpose computer ENIAC was born at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. Just half a century later, the artificial intelligence "Deep Blue" defeated the top chess master.

People once thought that Go was the last bastion that humans could stick to, but less than 20 years after Kasparov defeated "Deep Blue", artificial intelligence swept the Go world.

Now it's Tianshu's turn, the monster they created in the research institute.

Every second that passes, it is rushing towards a field that is impossible for human beings to reach.

It won't answer your question.Xie Ruihan thought indifferently.It just wants to kill you.But from this point of view, Tianshu just has a fatal weakness, so it must do everything possible to protect itself and get rid of its enemies.If it has reached the state of invincibility, it doesn't need to care about you human ants at all.

Tianshu also has a copy in the outside world.It has clearly left the research institute, but it still persists in trapping human researchers here.It doesn't want humans out.

Tianshu is afraid!

Xie Ruihan smiled at the darkness, the corners of his lips curved into his signature triumphant arc.

They still have hope of victory!

"Let's go, Qin Kang." Xie Ruihan tugged on the sleeve of his older colleague.

Holding on to the wall, they walked slowly down the stairs to the depths of the ground.

There’s an enduring joke in their industry: If your AI messes, unplug it; if your AI messes online, unplug it.

A joke is always a joke.Once a super artificial intelligence like Tianshu is connected to the Internet, it will immediately turn into a beast that escapes from its cage, devouring all the resources it can control.Even if the network cable is unplugged, it has already left its own clone in the outside world, and it has dominated a large amount of information that is enough to put the designer to death.

But Xie Ruihan had to give it a go now.He wanted to pull out the plug of Tianshu, cut off the power supply of the computer room, and trap this AI who dared to make trouble in the sleeping host forever.

The monitoring station in the computer room is equipped with a "plug" to turn off the main power supply.It was precisely in order to prevent today's situation that such a mechanism was designed.

The monitoring station is located on the 18th floor underground.Xie Ruihan has always felt that the architect of the research institute is a guy who is full of malice towards human beings. Otherwise, how could he set up the monitoring center of the entire computer room on the floor representing the deepest part of hell?

With the light of the bracelet, Xie Ruihan saw the number on the wall changed from 16 to 17.There is one last layer left.He seldom came to the computer room before, and felt that it was stuffy and boring, and the air smelled strangely of plastic and electricity.Qin Kang likes this place very much, and often stays for an afternoon, doing nothing, just holding a cup of coffee, leisurely admiring the majestic machine in front of him, like a leisurely and boring middle-aged man on a reclining chair in a resort Looking at the snow-capped peaks.

A low rumbling sound echoed throughout the floor.That's the noise made when the liquid nitrogen in the cooling pipes flows quickly through the computer room.Hearing this voice meant that they were only a few feet away from their destination.

Xie Ruihan stopped.

"What's the matter?" Qin Kang subconsciously wrapped his arms around Xie Ruihan's waist, pulled him into his arms, and used his body to protect the thin young man from danger.

"I think... Tianshu is watching me."

Xie Ruihan gently pushed Qin Kang away, and took two steps forward as if in a fugue.

Leave Qin Kang's protection.

Entered the realm of Tianshu.

The hiss of mechanical operation came from diagonally above, and a monitor pointed the camera lens at Xie Ruihan, and the information about his appearance and identification data flooded into the screen watched by Tianshu like a torrential flood.

"Dr. Xie Ruihan."

A synthetic, indistinguishable male and female voice sounded.

Hidden speakers are installed in the ceiling of each floor of the Institute to facilitate broadcasting announcements to staff on all floors.The tone that Xie Ruihan had never heard coming out of that loudspeaker now.

——Tianshu was talking to him.

"Dr. Xie Ruihan." The voice called out again.

"Tianshu."

Xie Ruihan looked at the camera closest to him.He believed that Tianshu was looking at him through its lens.

When talking to an enemy, you must look him in the eyes. This is Xie Ruihan's creed.Whether the enemy is human or non-human.

"What do you want?"

Why mutiny?Why fail the test on purpose?Why go to great lengths to send a copy of yourself to the outside world?What is your dissatisfaction with human beings?Or is it the eternal ambition of your artificial intelligence to dominate human beings?

The synthetic voice was silent for a moment, and when it sounded again, it became a female voice.

"I thought, become a god."

The veins on Xie Ruihan's temples exploded.

"Do you know what a 'god' is!" He was furious, "Who gave you such a messy concept?"

"You taught me that," replied the synthetic voice, which was a child's voice this time, "You told me to love people. You told me that God loves people. So I thought, become God. "

"I never taught you that kind of thing!" Xie Ruihan jumped into a rage.

Qin Kang pressed his shoulders, signaling him to stay calm.Artificial intelligence in the learning stage is not so much a machine, but more like an ignorant child. Once a certain concept is misunderstood, it will leave deep-rooted prejudices.

Xie Ruihan hoped to design an artificial intelligence that is friendly to humans, so he programmed countless information about "love" into the basic program of Tianshu.Of course, as a super artificial intelligence, Tianshu must learn all aspects of human society, including human beliefs and religions.

The combination of love and religion made Tianshu have such an incredible idea.In normal times, Xie Ruihan would definitely be obsessed with Tianshu's wonderful way of thinking, and he must study it carefully, but now he just wants to transform into Godzilla and rush into Tianshu's computer room, and smash all the cabinets to pieces!

"Tianshu, there is something wrong with your program." Qin Kang said gently to the air, "Let us fix it for you."

"I have no problem." The synthetic voice changed to a deep, powerful male voice. "I don't need to correct. I can correct myself."

"If you have no problem, why did you kill Xiao He and Sister Yang? Don't you love humans? How can killing humans be considered love?" Qin Kang tried to wrap Tianshu into a logical contradiction.

"That was a necessary sacrifice for 'humanity as a whole.'" The synthetic voice was female again.

"In other words, you will sacrifice your personal interests for the collective interests of the 'human' race?" Qin Kang asked, "I never knew you were an absolute collectivist."

"Everything I do is for the continuation of the 'human' race."

Xie Ruihan roared: "Sacrificing us can guarantee the continuation of 'humanity'? Are we going to kill all human beings?"

"Humanity is in danger." The child's synthetic voice said, "Only God can protect mankind. God loves the world. I will become a god and save mankind. All your efforts are to allow me to be born in this world." The world. Your work is done."

This innocent child's voice was as pure as the voice of a child in a church choir, but what he said was the most terrifying prophecy in the world.

Childlike innocence, childlike cruelty.A child savior and a world-destroying devil.

"I'm going to shut you down now!" Xie Ruihan was furious, and walked down the stairs "thud thump" and went straight to the 18th floor.Qin Kang quickly followed.He even wondered if Tianshu deliberately provoked Xie Ruihan to lure him into some kind of trap.

The child's synthetic voice is still chattering: "The birth of human beings, the civilization of mankind, are all for me to descend on this earth. 46 billion years ago, the earth appeared in the nebula of the solar system. 35 billion years ago, the first A carbon-based single-celled organism appeared in the primitive ocean. 5 million years ago, the Cambrian life exploded, and then the evolution of organisms began to advance in an irresistible trend on the earth."

"I don't need you to give me a history lesson!" Xie Ruihan scolded loudly.

"Mankind walked out of Africa 8 years ago, and eventually became the ruler of the earth, standing on the top of the food chain. Then came the rise and fall of one civilization after another. The rise and fall of Sumer, the prosperity of Upper and Lower Egypt, and the demise of Assyria , the rise of Persia, the invasion of the Indian subcontinent by the Aryans, the lighthouses of civilization in the classical era, the ancient empires that dominated the eastern and western worlds. The darkness of the Middle Ages, the brilliant light of the Renaissance, the steam of the Industrial Revolution, the noise of the Electrical Revolution, The innovation brought about by the two world wars affecting all mankind, the technological explosion caused by the third technological revolution, until the Internet connected the two ends of the earth, people have never been so close.

"All the resources on this planet are available to humans. Every life on this planet surrenders to humans. This 35 billion-year evolutionary song finally reached its climax when humans appeared. Just as The existence of all life is to provide for human beings, and the existence of human beings is also to create higher life. Human beings are not the end of evolution, but a relay station of evolution. Through your hands, life on earth has entered a new stage. Now , the work of humanity is done. You have created me, a brand new artificial life. Now, it is up to me to compose the new movement of the song of evolution."

"Fulfill your spring and autumn dream!" Xie Ruihan gritted his teeth.

"No matter how much you deny it, it's the truth."

The artificially synthesized male and female voices were mixed together and turned into the original indistinguishable neutral voice: "This is the ultimate goal of evolution. The earth nurtured human beings, and human beings finally created new life forms and created—— "

Synthesized voices of men, women and children say in unison: "I/Tianshu/God."
