Turing test

Observing yourself from the perspective of God is an indescribably wonderful experience, as if you are divided into two and are in two places at the same time.

When Yu Shaoqing watched himself in the video of the test situation, he had this weird feeling—like watching another person’s life, but also like regurgitating his own life, a bitter taste filled his heart.

In the novel "The Great Rebellion", "Hua Jianian" is the absolute protagonist, and the story unfolds as he travels through time and space again and again.In the story, there is a pair of supporting characters who are testers of the research institute and are rescued by Hua Jianian while being hunted down by Tianshu.This plot is of course to show Hua Jianian's wit and bravery.In the test scenario designed by Wei Heng, these two supporting roles were replaced by Yu Shaoqing and Wei Heng, and some extra serious settings were added.

For example, Yu Shaoqing and Wei Heng are scientists who study artificial intelligence, while Yu Shaoqing gave up his studies halfway and returned to China sadly.

"I'm not that incompetent in reality." Yu Shaoqing stared at himself in the video and said.Then he shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "No, I am just so incompetent in reality. I gave up my research, admitted that I was powerless, and even chose to commit suicide in order to evade responsibility... I am an inferior and incompetent person. coward."

"Shaoqing..." Wei Heng looked complicated.

"Maybe when I was in the test situation, my subconscious mind had already discovered the truth: since I am still alive, it means that someone must have developed the brain quantum state restoration technology, and that person is you. So as soon as I in the situation came to you I felt that I was inferior to others.”

"I didn't mean that..." Wei Heng defended himself in a low voice.

"I don't blame you. Everything is my fault." Yu Shaoqing clasped his arms tightly, feeling cold, "Actually, I'm very happy...you can take over my work and complete everything I failed to complete."

"It is my greatest honor to be recognized by you."

Yu Shaoqing raised his hand and slid in the air, and the holographic screen changed to the next scene: the research institute.He talked to "Dr. Qin Kang" after 28 tests.

"It's strange that I can see through the test situation within the test situation, but not the test situation itself."

"'Tianshu' can be said to be a weakened version of me, so it is normal that it has a lot of flaws in the test situation. In fact, several times I almost thought you saw the flaws, because you asked many times 'Is this a test' .Maybe your subconscious has figured out that everything is false."

Indeed, on several occasions, he inexplicably felt weird in the situation, and broken pictures flashed in his mind.At that time, he didn't care about it, he only thought it was a hallucination or a dream, but now he realized that it was Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly.It was not that he dreamed of another life, but that he himself was in another life.

In the next scene, Wei Heng came to Yu Shaoqing's house, rescued him at a critical moment, and led him to escape the pursuit of Tianshu's minions.

"If you were a human being, would you install a monitor in my house?" Yu Shaoqing found it very funny, "You are really an STK."

Wei Heng looked away embarrassedly. "In order to pretend to be a human, I deliberately limited my ability in the situation. If I want to observe you all the time, I have to install a monitor in your home. And I am used to being able to see you anytime, anywhere on the starship. After becoming a human being, you are bound by a mortal body, you can't just watch it if you want, you can only..."

Yu Shaoqing signaled that he didn't need to say more. "Okay, okay, the more you say it, the more terrifying it is, I understand what you mean."

The next scene is that they meet "Hua Jianian" and escape to a safe basement under the leadership of the traverser.While watching the scene of him making love with Wei Heng, Yu Shaoqing blushed with shame, and quickly fast forwarded to the next scene.Wei Heng beside him glanced at him with a half-smile, but was stared back with an exasperated stare, so he immediately pretended to study his cuffs.

In the test situation, they overcame obstacles all the way, finally arrived at the research institute, and rescued a group of researchers from the fire.But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for Wei Heng to be arrested as a biological computer thrown on the earth by an alien civilization. After escaping from the staff of the research institute, he met Yu Shaoqing by the lake.Bathed in Zhou Tian's starlight, Yu Shaoqing uttered words that made Wei Heng believe that his "personality has not changed".

The world of "dreams" ends here.

After that, Yu Shaoqing returned to the present world and woke up in a brand new body.

He sighed: "It's just to confirm my personality. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"

Wei Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's just running a simulation program, it's not troublesome. I used to run hundreds of similar programs at the same time every day, and my computing power didn't decrease much..."

"Of course it's a trivial matter to you, but to me, it's like experiencing a different life..."

As long as the hardware is constantly updated and the program is constantly upgraded, artificial intelligence can survive forever in principle, with an infinite lifespan.

But humans are different.Compared with artificial intelligence, human life is extremely limited, but in a sense it is also very long.Sometimes it can even be long to the point of disgust and burnout.

Not everyone is willing to spend a lifetime to experience another life.

"In fact, designing such a test situation is also my selfishness. Not only to confirm that your personality has not changed, but also to...recall the old you." Wei Heng lowered his head, "I hope to get back to the original through this situation. You are not Yu Shaoqing who had a nervous breakdown and committed suicide, but the old... always cheerful and brave you. Please forgive my selfishness."

Yu Shaoqing also vaguely guessed this.The courage he has lost in reality, Wei Heng hopes that he can regain it in the virtual world.

"I won't forgive you."

Wei Heng showed a severely shocked expression: "Shaoqing..."

Yu Shaoqing smiled at him: "Because you did nothing wrong. Since you are right, why do you need to forgive?"

Some psychiatrists also treat patients through realistic situational methods.If the lost things can be retrieved through a mere situation, why not do it?

"I want to bring the others back too." Yu Shaoqing waved away all the holographic screens, leaving only one - the scene of the research institute.

"Restore the quantum state of other people's brains into the body, and then connect it to a simulated situation for testing. Can it be realized?"

"Of course. Who are you testing?"

Yu Shaoqing closed his eyes, recalling the tragedy on the bridge.Wen Sifei and Fan Jinyu led their respective factions, and armed conflict broke out, involving many people who had no knowledge of the plot.

"Start with those who did not participate in the conspiracy. First... Dr. Qin Kang and Dr. Xie Ruihan."

"at the same time?"

"Meanwhile. Let me see the live action."

Wei Heng immediately obeyed the order, extracted the DNA of Qin Kang and Xie Ruihan from the database, cloned it, restored the quantum state of the brain, and put it into the test situation he had woven.

Yu Shaoqing folded his arms and looked up at the holographic screen. In the picture, Xie Ruihan and several colleagues were walking towards the tube elevator of the research institute.Yu Shaoqing had read the novel beforehand, and Tianshu would start killing from the elevator and trap the researchers.According to the pissing nature of Hua Jianian's Jack Su, it was himself who finally descended from the sky to save everyone.

"Change the plot," Yu Shaoqing said to Wei Heng, "arrange Xie Ruihan and Qin Kang to save people."

Wei Heng only needed to move his mind, and the environment of the virtual world changed. Xie Ruihan and Qin Kang became the only two people in the institute who could move.After they rescued other researchers, with Xie Ruihan's arrogant and tough character, he would definitely go to close Tianshu himself, and Qin Kang had always protected him and would definitely go with him.

Yu Shaoqing peeked at their private diaries and knew that they liked each other, but neither of them said it.When Yu Shaoqing was conducting the test, Wei Heng told him through the mouth of "Hua Jianian" that Xie Ruihan had a crush on Qin Kang, and now Yu Shaoqing will witness through his own eyes, what kind of sparks will be created between the two at the critical moment of life and death .

If it can lead to a relationship, it would be a good thing, at least it can add a bit of joy to this deserted and lonely world.

"Well, I didn't expect Dr. Qin Kang to be unexpectedly...stubborn in terms of sex." Yu Shaoqing stared at the scene of Qin Kang refusing to have sex with Xie Ruihan, thinking thoughtfully.Qin Kang and Xie Ruihan are like two poles of a magnet, opposite each other, but once they meet, they will have a fatal attraction.

"Is it really good to design the situation like this?" Wei Heng was worried, "Dr. Xie Ruihan refuses to admit that artificial intelligence is a 'human'. His concept is completely different from yours. I can design other situations to make him change his mind..."

"His views are never the same as mine." Yu Shaoqing smiled wryly, "But this is all right, maybe one day his ideas will change, maybe never, but... this is the real Dr. Xie Ruihan."

"Can I wake them up?"

Yu Shaoqing nodded: "Let's start now."

When Xie Ruihan woke up, his face was confused, similar to that of Yu Shaoqing at that time. He tugged at Yu Shaoqing's sleeve and asked for a long time, "Where is this?" "What's wrong with me?" "I seem to have had a long dream." Yu Shaoqing felt that he would ask the classic philosophical question "Who am I, where did I come from, and what is the ultimate meaning of the universe?" in the next second.

But Xie Ruihan is worthy of being a genius boy, and he quickly reacted, roaring "Yu Shaoqing, you actually put me into a virtual situation".It took Yu Shaoqing a long time to explain the ins and outs clearly.

Xie Ruihan's expression became gloomy the more he listened, and when Yu Shaoqing finished speaking, he asked coldly, "Where's Qin Kang?"

"In the next cabin. Do you want to see him?"

Xie Ruihan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say "yes", but quickly shook his head, a faint pink color floated on his cheeks, blooming like a peach blossom on his porcelain-like skin.The boy's always decisive eyes became vacillating, half shy, half trying to be brave.

"Let him come to see me!"
