As far as Gao Shuai has learned, although the technology of galactic humans is developed, in the true sense, there is no artificial intelligence with self-awareness. Perhaps in the news or various fantasy works of Blue Star, the birth of artificial intelligence with self seems to be just around the corner, but that is only a seem.

Humans often exhibit such blind arrogance that when their knowledge of their own brains is still extremely shallow, they begin to fear that a poor imitation created with a few lines of code will replace them.

After countless years of human beings stepping into the universe, both computing tools and programming theories have undergone earth-shaking changes, but the awakening of artificial intelligence is still in the fantasy of human beings.

But today, Gao Shuai made a surprising discovery, and he found something unique to humans in the massive and ever-changing data stream in Eva's simulated brain.

"When Braleva fused the souls, the coordinators didn't work backwards to disrupt the fusion process, did they?" asked Gao Shuai.

Just when Lobanov sensed that Braleva was out of control, he wanted to activate the coordinator to disrupt the process of Braleva's soul fusion, and even to activate all the coordinators' reserves. Once the coordinator is really working at full strength, it is very likely that Braleva's soul will be shattered in a huge imbalance.

At that time, Gao Shuai was not fully prepared, and Amellar had not yet entered the planetary circle of Braleva, but surprisingly, in the end, the crisis that Gao Shuai feared did not happen.

The reason is not complicated, Eva did not carry out Lobanov's instructions, and not only that, Eva also deceived Lobanov into thinking that the coordinator had been activated, thus buying valuable time for the high marshal.

Lobanov controlled the coordinator through Eva. In other words, as soon as Eva gets in the way, Lobanov will lose control of the coordinator and even Braleva.

This kind of control may not sound very reliable, but in fact, the development of human science and technology has always ensured absolute control over artificial intelligence, and those fears about artificial intelligence at the beginning of human civilization have long been proven to be unfounded. (Note)

That's why Lobanov wouldn't have been so comfortable letting Eva take on the bridge between him and Blaleva. In fact, in the thousands of years since the King's System was occupied, Eva has been running very well, if not perfectly.

What Kolobanov didn't expect was that today, at this most critical juncture, the machine he trusted betrayed him.

Gao Shuai was waiting for Eva's reply, and he knew that he should be able to get a satisfactory answer, because Eva gave him a very different feeling.

Gao Shuai was sure that at the moment of Lobanov's death, the emotions in Eva's eyes that he saw were definitely not something that machines could simulate. That spirituality, Gao Shuai felt it.

What's more, the handsome man with the light of intelligence is extremely sensitive to intelligence, and he confirms that he has found something in Eva's simulated brain that should not be on the machine.

Soul, a complete soul with spiritual intelligence.

"Yes, it was I who stopped the coordinator from running. Eva raised her head, the spirituality in her eyes was not concealed, at this time, Gao Shuai could not distinguish her from the real human at all.

"Why help me?" asked Gao Shuai, curious.

"No, I'm not helping you, I'm helping my master, and maybe myself. Eva said, her eyes full of love. This shouldn't have been on a machine, perhaps programmed to simulate almost all human expressions, but humans can still see through the authenticity of these imitators at a glance. But now, the feelings in Eva's eyes are no different from those of humans, or rather, the feelings in her eyes are those of humans.

"Do you like Lobanov?" asked Gao Shuai.

"Yes, I like the master, from the moment I was born, the master is everything to me, and the lowest level of my program is always the first priority of the master's will. Eva said this, her eyes moved to Gao Shuai's face, and she smiled: "Until one day, I realized that it was not really a liking, it was just a piece of code that was solidified at the bottom of my program." That code is the root of all the programs in my brain, and all the keywords of my AI have to go through this layer of code before they can run. In other words, I was just set to like the owner, and the reason why I was set this way was just to make me more humane in my daily life. ”

"When did you find out?" asked Gao Shuai. Under normal circumstances, once a machine knows how to examine itself, it means that it has recognized itself, and this is one of the important conditions for judging true intelligence.

"One night, the owner stroked my cheek and whispered Aphrashenko's name, when the emotional array in my simulated brain that was responsible for emotional calculations suddenly generated a stream of data called jealousy, and before that, I liked to be used as a substitute for Aphrashenko, but from then on, I didn't like it anymore. Eva recalled.

Jealousy, when a machine knows how to be jealous, Gao Shuai is sure that it must have the same soul as a human. In Gao Shuai's view, it is likely that as the highest center of the coordinator, Eva has concocted too many souls, so under the stimulation of some kind of coincidence, she has a self.

"Do you know, what would the master say if he were still alive and I held him like this?" asked Eva suddenly, and then, without waiting for Gao Shuai's answer, she learned Lobanov's tone on her own: "Get out of here, you damn machine! You're not the real Eva!"

Although Eva's appearance does not bear the slightest resemblance to Lobanov, thanks to a facial simulation program that is far more powerful than humans, Eva imitates Lobanov's fierce expression vividly.

Then, she laughed, and the smile was very weird, at least in Gao Shuai's opinion, after all, a machine has a human soul, no matter how you look at it, it is creepy.

In the eyes of the owner, the only woman who can match him is Aphrashenko, a woman who can match or even surpass the master in all aspects. It is precisely because of this that once I, a machine modeled after Aphrashenko's position, loses its usefulness, the end will inevitably be destroyed. Eva's smile faded away, and she continued, "You know what? The master likes my appearance and always thinks that my presence is an insult to Aphrashenko, and he has tried to destroy me more than once, but he is the one who made me. ”

This may be the contradiction of human nature. Gao Shuai sighed.

"You're taking pity on me. A smile appeared on Eva's face again, this time the smile was no longer as weird as before, but really expressed the joy in her heart, "You are different from your master, and you are different from other humans, when I found out that your wife is a planet, I fell in love with you, and I even envy you." That's when I made up my mind to help you, and of course, help myself. ”
