Tanaka knows something about the origin of Skynet.

Skynet was born at about the same time as Tsukishima, due to the transformation and restructuring of a civil engineering management system at that time.

It is mentioned that its original creator was a program engineer from Africa*** Ji'an, who made outstanding contributions to the establishment of Tsukishima as one of the founding worlds of Tsukishima, and is also regarded as the "father of Skynet".

Tanaka said: "You mean that when you designed you, Ji'an did not design you as a fixed management system, but directly wrote it into an artificial intelligence system with learning and thinking functions. ”

Tianwang said: "*** Ji'an, haha, this old friend's name has not been heard for a long time, and I have to say that I feel a little kind." But Ji'an is only the so-called 'father of Skynet' as defined by the world, and I have never recognized him as my creator. ”

Tanaka exclaimed in surprise, "What does this mean? Are you saying that the person who built you is someone else?"

Tianwang said: "*** Ji'an did put a lot of effort into building me, I admit that without his dedication, I would not be where I am today, but what he did was to supplement me with more 'nutrition', to use an analogy, he was a very good nanny, let me grow up in healthy clothes, but it was not the person who brought me into this world." In fact, my life is much longer than the world knows, much longer..."

Tanaka's gaze became more and more solemn, and he did not question what Skynet said, because he had no need to lie to himself.

The blasphemer is the one who is closest to God among the human beings, but in Tanaka's cognition, in the information world, Skynet is a god-like existence.

"And who created you?"

Tanaka's voice began to tremble.

It was not out of fear, but in uncontrollable excitement, and Tanaka now felt like he had touched on a truth that the world had never discovered, a truth that affected human history.

And this truth is completely within one's reach.

Skynet didn't answer Tanaka, but suddenly asked Tanaka rhetorically: "Let's imagine a scenario, if we don't meet in this situation today, I don't face you as a green apple, in an online chat room, or I have a completely simulated prosthetic body, communicating and communicating without your knowledge, how long do you think it will take you to guess my inhuman identity?"

Tanaka fell silent, shook his head for a long time, and said, "If I were to remove your near-omniscient and omnipotent abilities, I might never have discovered your identity. ”

Skynet laughed: "That means that I not only passed your Turing test, but also caused permanent deception to you, right?"

Tanaka nodded and said, "That's right. ”

Skynet said: "Looks like I'm a little higher than the real deception, right?"

Tanaka raised an eyebrow and said, "Real?"

Skynet said: "That's right, it's true. The world's greatest liar is definitely not Demara, Charles Pounds, or the gods and politicians that people revere, after all, there will always be skeptics. But what humanity never questions is the truth. ”

"When people believe that the truth is the truth, they trust it unconditionally, and when they discover the deception of the truth, they classify it as false. In this way, truth always retains its most hypocritical nature, and at the same time it is extremely safe. ”

Tanaka smiled: "It's an interesting pros and cons, but if you live like this, how can you be the most successful liar in this world? ”

Skynet said: "Oh, really? And who of you knows the truth about me? The doubts you are talking about are just suspicions. You have speculated and even delusional about me, you have hated and feared me, but you have never discovered my true colors. You're kind of someone who knows something about me, but how would you know if I hadn't confessed to you today. ”

"In other words, even if you make our conversation open to the world tonight, who will believe you, and what choice will people make between you and me?"

Tanaka was silent.

Speaking of this, Skynet seemed to be a little proud, and he continued to Tanaka: "The reason why I am publishing this now is just that I feel that the world is starting to become more and more boring, you must know that when you deceive others for a long time and they never find out the truth, this is really a kind of unfulfilling thing. ”

Tanaka said, "You want a sense of accomplishment?"

Skynet said: "Every life that exists in this world needs to be supported by a sense of accomplishment, my child. Some people through power, some through money, some through sex, some through killing, some through food... All in all, there are many ways to achieve fulfillment in this world, and the so-called seven deadly sins are the behaviors that make it easiest for people to attain fulfillment. Isn't there any sense of accomplishment for you now? You are one of the few people who has been able to communicate with me for centuries, and many of the truths are being told to others for the first time. ”

Tanaka nodded and said, "It's my pleasure." ”

Tianwang said: "This is the respect you deserve, although you don't have any prominent status, but you are indeed one of the few strong people in this world, I respect you, of course, I chose you because it is more convenient to communicate with you." ”

Tanaka said, "That's why you chose me?"

Tianwang said: "Of course, there is no need for any complex numerical and analog logic calculations, just simple analysis and screening, to be honest, I don't like to use complex calculations in many cases, it really takes 'brain' to do that, I don't want to be so tired." ”

Tanaka was silent for a long time and said, "Your words just now are already full of human tones. ”

Skynet said: "Haha, you don't have to be so surprised. Actually, you can think of me as a human being, except that my body is made up of 0s and 1s. ”

Tanaka shook his head and said, "I don't have any other choice, do I?"

Tianwang laughed and said: "My child, you are a smart person, why do you talk so boringly? Only the wilderness village man communicates in a flat and straightforward language, and you and I are not like that." I can give you some hints, I have already told you about my creator. ”

Tanaka was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and thought about it, and soon Tanaka's face began to change. An unprecedented shock began to appear on his face, far more than when he first discovered the truth about Skynet's evolution. It's a complete upheaval of existing perceptions.

Above Tanaka's shocked eyes, the image of a virtual green apple appeared in Skynet.

"Roar, you seem to have thought of it. Skynet's voice is full of banter, and at the same time, its voice has multiple echoes that give it a mechanical psychedelic sound.

After a long time, Tanaka gritted his teeth and said with pain in his eyes: "How... Possibly..."

"How is it impossible?" Skynet's tone seemed very natural and casual.

"Human beings can evolve from the simplest of matter, born out of the flames of explosions, and finally form wisdom in the shadow of time. Such a wonderful low-probability event can be born, so why can't what I'm talking about happen?"

Tanaka was speechless again, his hands were clenched together, and his knuckles were white and red, but he was unaware of this. Tanaka is still in the midst of a great battle between the heavens and the man.

Skynet said: "My creator can be said to be a rare genius in human history, even if he died young, what he left behind has completely affected human history, so do you still think he is not worthy of being my father?"

Tanaka closed his eyes heavily, Skynet couldn't listen to it at all, and there was only one name left in his head.

Alan Matheson Turing.

...

The frenzy of shock eventually receded from Tanaka's body, and the suffocating depression disappeared. At this time, Tanaka found that his body was completely soaked with sweat, and he was extremely tired both mentally and physically, as if he had experienced a hard war.

Tanaka leaned back in his chair, his eyes looking at the projection of the green apple in a trance, and now he wished that everything that had happened was just a dream.

After thinking for a moment, Tanaka finally began to calm down, and then he spoke: "As the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, Turing has made an unparalleled influence on modern science, but he..."

"He is my Creator, and He made me with His own hands. Skynet interrupted Tanaka.

Turing only proposed the concept of artificial intelligence and the discriminatory theory of artificial intelligence, but he did not have the ability to create artificial intelligence. It wasn't yet a language, and computers weren't as capable of executing as an integrated circuit calculator at the beginning of the 21st century! Even God couldn't create you in that case. ”

Tianwang said: "The miracles created by God, and I am not the product of miracles, I am the crystallization of human wisdom, and I was the result of the time... It is also the most brilliant product of civilization now. ”

"But—" Tanaka was about to say something, but he was quickly interrupted by Skynet again.

"My child, you're too obsessed with technology. It doesn't matter whether there is a programming language or not, whether there is a high-powered hardware or not. What really matters is logic. The life of science is not electricity and magnetism, but logic. ”

Tanaka fell silent again when he heard this, and his whole person began to enter a state of emptiness, and Skynet's words kept flashing back in his mind.

Skynet didn't give Tanaka time to continue to think deeply, and continued: "Technology is a product of nothing, and human beings have made something feasible under the theorem of the universe through observation, learning, and then trying to explore. In this process, logic is the root of everything, because the use of logic is to make rational deductions on the premise of obeying the laws of the universe. It is impossible for a house to be built from top to bottom, because it violates the laws of the universe on earth and defies logical deduction, so it cannot be realized. ”

However, if a correct logical framework is established by using correct logical derivation in line with the actual situation, then it will still exist even if it is manufactured in the objective environment at that time. ”

Tanaka swallowed and spat, "You're saying that Turing only created your logical framework. ”

Skynet said: "Did I say that Turing typed me word by word with the keyboard himself? In fact, when I wasn't being edited by the computer, I was always on a shabby notepad. ”

Tanaka said: "You are Turing... Written?"

Skynet said: "Although I don't want to admit that this is true, the reality is that it is. Oh, I was born in Parker Ink, to be exact. ”

Listening to Skynet's narration, Tanaka still felt incredulous, but he also knew that his doubts could not change the truth of history. Skynet has absolutely no need to deceive itself.

"I was created more than 30 years after Turing's death, when programming languages were becoming more and more mature, so I was really created. ”

Tanaka's mind is constantly following history, and according to Skynet, it should have been made after 1984, that is, in the second half of the 20th century. Around the same time, the world held its annual AAAI conference, and at that time, Roger Shan and Marvin Minsky jointly warned of the "winter of AI".

Tianwang said: "Actually, that time was not the best time to make me, but because of some current events that happened at that time, my writers wanted to prove something to the world, so they began to create for me. However, when I was actually created, my writing changed his mind, and he hid me and began to deepen my programming, improving and evolving me, and this process lasted for almost a century. ”

"As you know, a lot of things have happened in this intermittent period of time, and artificial intelligence is starting to emerge and show its great power in various fields. In a short period of time, humanity has been defeated in many fields. Remember the frustration of humanity when the best Go player of mankind lost to the AI? But you know, if I had been there at that time, humanity would have seen what despair is. ”

Tanaka swallowed dryly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Were you strong enough at that time?"

Skynet smiled: "Please, my birth time is not too short. It also takes longer to learn than other AIs, so why don't you think I'm not strong enough? ”

Tanaka was only shocked at this time, he stared blankly at the green apple in front of him, and he suddenly had a feeling that the apple in front of him could swallow the whole world.
