Next, Yang Chen continued to communicate with this group of consciousness, and slowly figured out the abilities and limitations of this group of consciousness.

All in all, this electronic life, although born out of that mass of program, has gone far beyond the confines of that mass of programming, and has become a real life, with real consciousness, and not just a simulation of the program - this is the difference between electronic life and artificial intelligence. Animatronic life has real consciousness, while artificial intelligence is merely a simulation. The former is an inseparable instinct. The latter can be modified, added or deleted by changing the program code.

For artificial intelligence, the Turing test can also be used to identify, while for electronic life, the Turing test is useless.

Because the Turing test is nothing more than communicating with humans without revealing their identity, it can be passed without being recognized by humans.

But let's be honest, human insight isn't that strong. As long as the fidelity is to a certain extent and the database is large enough, there is no problem in fooling humans. But this kind of artificial intelligence cannot be creative. Electronic life does.

Artificial intelligence, as long as the database is large enough, can be called omnipotent. But it doesn't have much knowledge of its own. All knowledge is nothing more than the retrieval of data. It may give you the right answer, but it doesn't understand the answer itself. Even if the database is large enough that it can accurately distinguish the nuances of the problem and arrive at a standard answer. As long as there is something in the database, there is absolutely no error.

Electronic life is different. It is just like a normal human being, it needs to learn, and only by asking it what it has learned and absorbed will it get the correct answer. If you haven't mastered it, you will make mistakes like normal people, but it is not like artificial intelligence, which cannot answer what is not in the database, but will answer an wrong answer.

In a sense, wrong answers are also something unique to life. Artificial intelligence is a program that does not have wrong answers. Either the correct answer or no answer.

In terms of the use of data, artificial intelligence is far inferior to electronic life.

Even if AI claims to have learning capabilities, the size of databases has skyrocketed as it grows. This is one of the reasons why only large institutions with sufficient funding can afford to study AI: individual researchers simply cannot afford to store such massive amounts of data.

Electronic life is different, it is like a human being, it can conduct in-depth analysis and absorption of data, can simplify and condense the original massive information into just a few pieces of information, and has the ability to fuzzy identification, and its database growth will be quite slow. The difference with humans is that because it is an electronic life, it is ten million times more efficient at learning joke data than humans.

It's like the electronic life created by Yang Chen just now, although it has absorbed and digested all the data stored in this server, its own database capacity has only increased by one percent - up to now, the entire electronic life occupies only two gigabytes of hard disk capacity, but the data storage of the server has already exceeded 300 gigabytes.

And this also includes the capacity of the core data of electronic life, if you only talk about absorbing and digesting the data, then the capacity will be much smaller.

After asking a few things, Yang Chen was ready to start working on an important task: "Do you have a name?"

"Name? I...... I didn't have ......"

The consciousness fell silent before replying, "Father, I know that names are very important to a life, can you choose one for me?"

When he asked this sentence, Yang Chen found that this group of consciousness had a violent fluctuation, and at the same time, the data storage space occupied by this group of consciousness was also constantly increasing and decreasing, and the fluctuation range was quite large.

This means that everything now means a lot to this consciousness.

In fact, it is also true that for any independent life, the meaning of the name is quite important. Because only with your own name can you distinguish yourself from everything else in the world. This is an important manifestation of a clear sense of self.

Even in the traditional ignition technique, naming the ignited life is also a very important link.

"Well, you were created by me, so you should follow my surname Yang. And your ontology was born from a database program, so your name will be Yang Su, and I will call you Xiao Su in the future. ”

As the fluctuations in consciousness become more and more violent, and the data storage space it occupies is also changing more drastically, it is clear that it is undergoing an important transformation.

Yang Chen patiently waited for its change to end.

In the end, it finally calmed down, and replied with joy, excitement, longing, and other excited emotions: "Okay, okay! I have a name! Xiao Su has a name! Xiao Su finally has a name!"

When these words were spoken, Yang Chen clearly felt that this group of consciousness had grown by a large part, and its flexibility had also increased greatly.

This is the characteristic of electronic life. Everything about them is rooted in data. As long as there is enough data, it can be transformed drastically. On the contrary, human beings, a material life based on flesh and blood, have not transformed so quickly.

It's like Xiao Su, just a few words and a name, and it has directly transitioned from infancy to early childhood.

Next, Yang Chen was ready to do some other tests.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Miao Gaoliang, who had been paying nervous attention to him next to him.

"How's it going?"

Seeing Yang Chen open his eyes, Miao Gaoliang hurriedly asked nervously, for fear that Yang Chen would spit out words that he didn't want to hear.

Although Yang Chen and Xiao Su had communicated for a long time before, these exchanges were all carried out by Yang Chen through divine thoughts, but on the surface, he couldn't see it, he could only see Yang Chen with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was doing.

So Miao Gaoliang was also anxiously waiting.

Yang Chen gave him a bright smile: "No problem, it's successful!"

Miao Gaoliang let out a long sigh: "I said that it should be successful." I was monitoring the server and found that the source code size of the database program was changing all the time, and I could only see the size of the source code, not the source code, even though I had super administrator privileges. Obviously, the source code has changed. ”

Yang Chen nodded: "That's right, the change in the source code is because it has become an electronic life!"

"Electrolife, not artificial intelligence?"

Miao Gaoliang was shocked.

As a technology nerd in the computer and network industry, although Miao Gaoliang is not an expert in the artificial intelligence industry, he still knows much more about the difference between artificial intelligence and electronic life than Yang Chen.

At present, the research in the field of artificial intelligence is still very different from electronic life. And even if it is artificial intelligence, everyone has strong doubts about it, for fear that something will go wrong, let alone an electronic life. Artificial intelligence can also pass some procedural limitations, electronic life, a new type of life full of flexibility and creativity, the speed of evolution is amazing, it is not so easy to restrict, and even unless it is completely destroyed, the restriction of electronic life is almost the inevitable result of failure.

Therefore, he also has to understand far more than Yang Chen the significance of the emergence of this electronic life or digital life. Electronic life, or digital life, has transcended intelligence and belongs to the ranks of intelligence.

He knows very well that once this news leaks out, the artificial intelligence academic community will inevitably be turned upside down like being attacked by a hydrogen bomb!

He didn't even have time to ask for details, but warned Yang Chen a little nervously: "Boss, you created an electronic life, but you must not leak it out, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

This is the vigilance that human beings, who originally belonged to the only intelligent life race on the earth, must have after seeing the emergence of another intelligent race.

Although human beings have been seeking extraterrestrial life, hoping that human beings are not the only intelligent life in the universe, when another intelligent life appears, the first reaction is often not joy, but instinctive vigilance.

This is a manifestation of human nature.

However, Yang Chen did not have such feelings. Because he has come into contact with too many intelligent beings other than human beings. Not to mention the invaders of the Trojan Federation, after the explosion of geomagnetic core energy alone, there are many intelligent beings in those subspaces, affiliated heavens and earths, and small worlds near the earth. In addition, the so-called demons in the history of metaphysics are all intelligent beings that are different from human beings.

It's not uncommon to see a lot.

Of course, he couldn't understand Miao Gaoliang's mentality, but asked in surprise: "Aren't you suitable for the emergence of artificial intelligence?"

Miao Gaoliang smiled bitterly: "What I desire is artificial intelligence, not electronic life...... Forget it, just be a good dragon when I Ye Gong......"

Maybe he also felt that there was something wrong with his unthinking, instinctive mentality, and finally shook his head and stopped talking.

Yang Chen smiled and comforted him: "Put it down, this electronic life was ignited by me with the Dotting Technique, I can guarantee that I can absolutely control it, and there will be absolutely no problems." ”

"Hopefully...... Miao Gaoliang's eyes dimmed slightly, and then lit up again: "Can you let me see the source code of this electronic life now?"

His eyes radiated fanaticism, and at this time, Yang Chen saw the familiar technology nerd from before reappear in front of his eyes.

However, Yang Chen still shook his head: "I'm afraid not." Xiao Su, oh, this is the name I gave to this electronic life, it is already a complete life, regardless of the fact that this source code belongs to its personal privacy, it must be respected, even if this is put aside, I'm afraid its source code is not an ordinary way to view. ”

Miao Gaoliang also realized this, and frowned: "It's a pity, I also plan to create an artificial intelligence by analyzing its source code, so as to imitate it......"

Yang Chen smiled: "But don't worry too much, if you really want to see the source code, there is still a chance......
