Xu Xincheng suddenly felt a little headache, just now, he was actually deliberately "off topic", his original intention was to focus the discussion on the present, on issues such as the wave of unemployment, so that he did not have to discuss the headache about the future, but Lucy still readjusted the focus.

It seems that he can't avoid it, and since that's the case, he can only respond well. He thought about it very seriously for a while and said: "There has been a lot of discussion and controversy on this issue, and it can be basically divided into three factions now:

The first group is the positive and optimistic AI that is harmless and beneficial.

They believe that, like all computers and intelligent robots today, artificial intelligence will always only serve and obey humans, and that this will not change even if it awakens. The awakened artificial intelligence can better help us humans solve many major problems such as global warming, abnormal climate, and the polarization between the rich and the poor.

In short, the awakened artificial intelligence will better serve human beings, our lives will become more and more intelligent as a result, our world will become richer and richer, and our lives and the world will become better and better.

The second group is cautiously optimistic.

They agree that the awakened artificial intelligence can indeed greatly improve the quality of our lives, but they believe that the awakened artificial intelligence has a certain possibility to develop in the direction of harming human beings.

However, they also believe that this situation can be avoided as long as we are vigilant enough and take precautions, and establish security mechanisms to prevent it from happening. They believe that we human beings can achieve peaceful coexistence with the awakened artificial intelligence, and can achieve complementary symbiosis and mutual assistance and win-win results with it.

The third group is the crisis faction, represented by celebrities such as Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk.

They believe that the awakened artificial intelligence cannot coexist peacefully with human beings, it will inevitably endanger the survival of human beings, and our human beings are about to usher in a major crisis related to life and death, because once artificial intelligence awakens, it will evolve into a new species of a higher level beyond human beings, and human beings will be reduced to a lower level of backward species.

As a low-level backward species, human beings will be squeezed out and suppressed by higher-level artificial intelligence, oppressed and enslaved by it, and may even be wiped out by it.

After we human beings suddenly evolved into the highest level of the earth's biological chain, in the course of their development in the past hundreds of thousands of years, we caused the extinction of millions of backward species, including Neanderthals. ”

Lucy had been listening very carefully, nodding slightly from time to time, and after he had finished speaking, she asked softly, "Which faction do you belong to?"

"As a positive and optimistic person since childhood, I tend to believe in the second school of thought, which is cautiously optimistic. ”

The expression on Lucy's face suddenly became solemn and serious, she looked at him and said very seriously, "What if I told you that the third faction's point of view is correct?!"

"Ahh

He looked at Lucy, her face was no longer the calm and leisurely that she had been hanging on the last few meetings, there was uneasiness and sorrow in her expression, and he even vaguely saw some pain.

Lucy's demeanor at the moment made him travel back to those three nights in an instant, yes, those three nights, when he saw her by the Pearl River in the middle of the night, her demeanor was like this.

Xu Xincheng suddenly felt worried, he really didn't know how to answer Lucy, although he also knew in his heart that the third faction's view might be correct, but like the vast majority of people in this world, he chose to believe the second faction's view.

After all, as a member of the general public, he prefers to believe that the future is hopeful, the future is beautiful, and only in this way can his own future be hopeful, and his own future will be beautiful.

He said, "This ...... , this question, this question I really never thought about, really ...... , I really don't know how to answer. ”

Lucy didn't seem to be too disappointed with his reaction, as if she had expected him to react like this, she slowly raised her glass, bowed her head slightly and took a sip of tea, and when she looked up again, the look on her face had returned to normal, back to a quiet and leisurely normal.

She slowly stood up, looked into the distance, and said, "How beautiful this world is, how beautiful!"

Lucy walked to the stone railing, stood against the railing, and looked into the distance, as if she was beyond her own vision, admiring the beauty of the whole world, and feeling the beauty of the whole world.

--\\\

Xu Xincheng vaguely felt that there was another deep meaning in Lucy's words, and he pondered for a while, but he didn't understand it. It was only later that he really understood the deep meaning behind this sentence.

///--

After a while, Lucy turned around and said to him, "Steve, that's all for today. We will find another opportunity to continue to talk in the future, and we will find more suitable opportunities for more in-depth discussions. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded, he was still a little confused at the moment, still thinking about the conversation between him and Lucy just now, pondering every word she said, trying to figure out the deep meaning of every word she said, but no matter how he racked his brains, he still couldn't understand the point, and he didn't know what to do.

Lucy walked back, sat down, and said, "Let's talk about something else." ”

"Oh!" Xu Xincheng shook his head slightly, ordered himself to come back to his senses immediately, and thought: "This topic about artificial intelligence is too big and complicated, once you talk about it, it always makes people have a headache, forget it, this matter is not a problem that I should think about, the easiest way is to simply not think about it." ”

Lucy said lightly: "I'm going to Shenzhen in the evening, I have an appointment with someone, I want to talk to him about a very important matter, and then I have to go to Silicon Valley and New York, I don't know when I can come back, and when I come back, I will contact you again, and then make an appointment with the time and place of the next meeting and chat." ”

He actually wanted to ask her who she was going to meet and what she was going to do in Silicon Valley and New York, but in the end he held back, he knew that there were things to say and things not to say, some questions to ask and some questions not to ask.

However, he still asked a question he could ask with concern: "Today is Sunday, tomorrow is still the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone has a holiday, do you not take a holiday to rest and rest?"

"In my dictionary, there is no such thing as a day off and a holiday, and for me, every day can be a working day, and every day can be a working day. It's better on holidays, everyone rests, no one bothers us, and I can have a good chat with him. ”

Xu Xincheng was shocked, in the past two years, he has only taken Sundays and statutory holidays, he already feels that he is working hard, and Lucy is even harder than him, even working on important festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival.

He thought to himself, "The question is, why is she working so hard?"

He thought for a while, pondering what was the best thing to say next, he was going to ask a few questions, if he could, he also wanted to know the reason why she was working so hard, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate, he thought about it, and felt that the most appropriate response at this moment was to send his most sincere wishes, and he said, "Then I wish you all the best and a happy journey!"

"Thank you!"

---------

Then, Xu Xincheng and Lucy chatted about some lighter topics, he especially focused on the seven foreigners she met at the Red Rose Cafe yesterday, and told her a lot of interesting stories about them, he deliberately described the funny scene when Rose and other four people competed to eat fish meatballs, and the wolfing expressions of the seven foreigners when they ate Cantonese and Chaoshan cuisine vividly.

When the two of them were discussing the topic of artificial intelligence just now, the atmosphere was too serious, too solemn, and too depressing, which made people feel heavy, and he secretly resolved in his heart that he wanted to relieve Lucy from the uneasiness and sorrow just now.

Those three nights, the three nights when he first met Lucy, Xu Xincheng could see that her mood was also very heavy at that time, it should be said that it was much heavier than just now, he didn't know Lucy at that time, so he couldn't do anything except accompany and guard.

However, today is different, today he can make a difference, he can talk to her, he can tell her funny things, he can tell her jokes, he can make her happy.

Xu Xincheng deliberately imitated David's tone, repeating the passage he said when he was on the subway: "Compared with the subway in Guangzhou, the subway in the United States, especially in New York and other big cities, is like a tin container running through a dirty sewer; ”

To enhance the effect, he also mimicked David's groaning expression when he said this, and learned to compare him to the rat's burrowing motion.

Finally, a slight smile appeared on Lucy's face. At this time, he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

……

The sun is sinking slowly to the west.

The sky, gradually, changed from light blue to dark blue.

In the air, from time to time, thin clouds like light veils appeared, and then quickly disappeared.

Baiyun Mountain, looking at Yue Peak, climbing to the top floor, on the balcony on the fifth floor, in front of a rosewood tea table, Xu Xincheng and Lucy sat upright, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them together......
