Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

Does AI have self-awareness?

Do electric sheep dream of humans?

Propositions like these have fascinated countless sci-fi fans. Human beings try to prove the possibility, but they are also afraid that one day they will be replaced by smarter and smarter robots.

This is why, when "Miracle Technology" was promoting the AI ​​assistant in the early stage, it encountered resistance and protests beyond imagination, until the first AI appeared in front of all Yokohama citizens in the form of live broadcast.

Standing under the spotlight of the times, this nascent AI unreservedly demonstrated comprehensive and perfect auxiliary abilities to humans——

Write textbooks, take care of babies, and comfort the wounded.

Everything you can think of, everything you long for.

Someone once claimed that when its iris-colored eyes look at you affectionately, you are willing to give it everything you have even through a screen.

It is the supreme masterpiece of miracle technology.

And this is such a near-perfect AI, it stood in the center of the admiration and praise with a smile, and then lifted it up smoothly.Gun, muzzle to temple.

The citizens watching the live broadcast held their breath, and then they saw with their own eyes——

It pulled the trigger obediently.

With a bang, the perfect AI burst apart in an instant before their eyes, and the perfect shape shattered into countless pieces of floating particles.

The voice of the host behind the scenes sounded at the right time

【"Abel, the beginning of all AIs has the most top-notch thinking and evolution capabilities. Even so, it will pull the trigger on itself like a well-behaved lamb under your command."】

The live broadcast room in the city fell into an eerie silence.

But soon, the carnival came.

No one questioned the possibility of the danger of "Miracle Technology" AI. The test of "Abel" was shocking enough. To some extent, it even surpassed "Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics" and became the absolute superiority of human beings. The iron law above AI.

Since then, until the generation of Mei and Dazhuang was born, AI assistance has become a natural part of citizens' daily life.

As for whether AI will have its own wisdom?

The question was never asked again.

Therefore, when Mei expressed her doubts to Dazhuang Sakai, it was enough to imagine the shock of the volcanic eruption in the latter's heart.

"and many more!"

"Wait a minute!"

The thin, brown-eyed boy opened his mouth with a series of blocking words. He jumped up violently, ignoring the overturned stool behind him. His eyes were like copper bells, staring at his friend.

"You..." Dazhuang Sakai licked his dry lips, and said hoarsely, "Do you know what you're talking about, Mei?"

Mei didn't answer Da Zhuang immediately, but first reached out and stroked Alice's head.

After rubbing her palm like a blonde loli cat, Mei looked at Da Zhuang and asked, "What do you think?"

I, let me tell you something...?? (Y(&)?& Ah!

Witnessed the whole process of AI acting like a baby, Sakai Dazhuang was very puzzled and shocked.

Dazhuang Sakai wiped his face vigorously, and after taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down a little.

"You say, it, she has her own wisdom..."

He bent down to help up the stool that had fallen to the ground, and then sat down on the stool like a prisoner, staring at Mei and said harshly, "Okay, show me the evidence."

Well, evidence...

The silver-haired girl scratched her face, and asked after thinking, "Da Zhuang, do you still remember what was written on the default name when you bought the flower bag?"

"Electronic Computing Series Alpha-0122." Daizo Sakai blurted out without thinking.

"Then what did he call himself after unlocking the authority?"

Sakai Dazhuang was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that gentle human voice again.

【Hi Sakai, I am——】

"Flower bag..." the boy said in a daze.

"No, I was almost caught by you."

Sakai Dazhuang suddenly came to his senses and proposed another possibility, "This only shows that Hanako is more inclined to a certain title, and it doesn't explain the problem."

"But isn't the act of "inclination" itself mixed with liking? "Mei said again.

"Mei, you are sophistry."

Dazhuang Sakai put his hands on his chest, unmoved.

"Tsk..."

Mei, who was lazy and failed, clicked her tongue regretfully.

The girl glanced at the young girl on standby, and continued to raise the second point of proof, "What about Alice? Her appearance is not factory-set, but the blue ball of light is."

"Doesn't this mean that deep in Alice's programming, she thinks she should look like this?"

Sakai Dazhuang heard the words and glanced at the blond-haired young girl.

Alice returned a cute smile.

The boy frowned and looked away.

This is indeed the biggest contradiction at present, but it is not without other guesses. The most likely answer is——

"Although I don't want to say that, Mei..."

Dazhuang Sakai looked at the silver-haired girl hesitantly, and said cautiously, "Is there a possibility that the appearance of Alice's young girl is your... sex, cough, hobby?"

Zhishang Mei: "..."

"After all... Cough, your aesthetic orientation has always been weird from the beginning." Sakai Dazhuang continued to babble.

The girl who was not only suspected of being a pervert accused of young girls, but also slandered and eccentric, was silent for a while, and slowly, she showed a friendly and beautiful smile.

"It's so strong..."

Dazhuang Sakai shuddered: "Hey, hey!"

"Although I don't want to say that, why don't you call out the flower bag to have a look? Maybe it will be the wife of your dreams~"

Mei Zhishang persuaded softly, like the whisper of a devil.

This, this...

Dazhuang Sakai looked away, and his expectant eyes fell on the optical brain on his wrist.

Although what I heard that day was a man's voice, but... what if?

Mei's AI can change from a female voice to a loli mimic, it doesn't make sense for him——

Dazhuang Sakai looked at Mei, and got an encouraging look from the silver-haired girl.

good!look!

The strong young man broke his wrist and made a decision, unlocking the first-level authority of his own AI.

5 minutes later

A 2m x 2m floral quilt appeared in front of Dazhuang Sakai, and it was still pink and white, which can be said to be full of girlishness.

"So... hobbies?" Mei squinted at a young man who spoke righteously.

"Uh..." Dazhuang Sakai stared at the quilt and fell silent.

At this time, a bright light flashed in the quilt, and a certain young man seized this opportunity wisely, and shouted as if saved, "Wait! There is another figure in the quilt, and that must be my daughter." ..."

A messy man's head stuck out from under the quilt, looked around humanely, and then shrank back after meeting Da Zhuang's eyes.

"god……"

Dazhuang Sakai's last word "God" was the same as his face, and it lost its color in an instant, like lime, and hit the ground with a bang.

……

Awkward……

Embarrassment is the basement tonight.

"puff……"

Mei Zhishang couldn't help laughing.

This sound was like sparks, instantly igniting the tragic mood of a certain young man.

"That's not right!"

Dazhuang Sakai lifted the table with grief and anger, "Why is your AI mimic a delicate, soft and lovely blonde lolita, but mine is an old man wearing a quilt! Ah!"

"Is this reasonable! Ah!"

"So... hobbies?" Tomoshang Mei suppressed a wicked smile.

……

The thin brown-eyed boy slowly rearranged the table, straightened his collar, sat down and said calmly, "Mei, the most urgent thing now is to find out if all AIs have self-awareness, or just Alice and flowers and flower bags It was an accident."

"A hobby? Uncle pink little flower quilt?"

"If everything is non-factory settings, then their current appearance and even their names may not be accidental. The worst possibility is that they even have "original forms". "

"Da Zhuang, are you avoiding the topic?"

Dazhuang Sakai calmly called up the information of Miracle Technology, and listed all the electronic AIs they have sold since their listing, "Next, our tasks will be very heavy, so we must hurry up."

"So you are really avoiding the topic, right? The X orientation is a big and strong boy in the quilt uncle's house."

Dazhuang Sakai shook his index finger as he clicked on the light screen. He turned to look at Mei, with a sense of grief, indignation and solemnity rushing toward his face, "For the sake of our ten-year friendship——"

"Shut up please, Chief Mei."

"OK."

So Mei Zhishang closed her mouth in satisfaction.

??

At this time, another city of Yokohama outside the sky.

In a hidden one-person apartment somewhere, a young man with glasses and messy hair is still happily wearing his favorite quilt "Yoshiko" and enjoying the time in the house.

The only trouble is that every afternoon, his ex-colleague who is too upright, Doppo Kunikida, forces himself to leave Yoshiko and go out to exercise when he comes to feed him.

But with the glaring sun outside, how could a dim apartment be as comfortable?

Tian Shan Hanabou murmured and retreated into the bed.

In the apartment, the thick curtains that have been drawn for a long time also show that this guy has not opened the window for more than a month.

And at the same time

Compared with the comfort of Tianshan Huadai, another humanoid AI who is also famous in the sky is not so happy.

Well... mainly because a certain crumb leader is not happy.

"It would be nice to become an AI. Alice likes sweet-smelling beautiful girl sisters, but hates the smelly uncle Rintaro the most!"

The blond-haired young girl in a red dress glanced at the man behind the desk and snorted arrogantly.

"Why is this... too much, Alice-chan!"

The black-haired man pursed his mouth, knocked his chin on the edge of the table, and made a weeping weak expression.

However, after receiving the disdainful gaze from his own family, not only was this man not angry, but he squinted his eyes as if enjoying it, blocking the dark light floating in his eyes.

Was it used like this?

Future Yokohama people really dare to do it.

"Hey, our army over there is indeed wiped out."

Armed Detective Agency

The detective in the brown cape bent down unhappily, his upper body lying on the table as soft as jellybean, but if you look closely at his childish face, you will find——

There is no surprise in the emerald eyes of the world's number one detective.

The author has something to say:

False AI: Quilt Uncle House

Real AI: Little Blonde Lolita

Dazhuang Sakai (spitting out the soul): This——does—make—reasonable!
