"How?"

Although it is just an excuse to get close to Hou Shida, any author who is evaluated by his work will probably be sincerely afraid.

An Ran's novel only has a beginning, although she feels that it is written well, but Hou Shida is still its first reader, and it is impossible for her not to pay attention to it.

"How so? It's very well written, but I always feel like it's still a little bit missing......"

Hou Shida tried to compare this beginning with the novel An Ran once wrote in his memory, hoping to find the source of the sense of disobedience in his heart.

An Ran looked at Hou Shida intently, waiting for his next words like a suspect waiting to be pronounced in the courtroom.

"Ah, I see!"

Hou Shida slapped his palms, his eyes lit up, and he said categorically: "Your novel is not positioned correctly!" ”

"Positioning?" An Ran was ignorant, shook his head and said: "What kind of positioning, I'm not doing business, do I still have to advertise positioning?" ”

An Ran already regretted showing the novel to Hou Shida, the first reader of his novel, what a sacred thing this is, how could he give it so easily.

Virgin reader, that's it......

There is also positioning, listening to this name makes people smell of copper, as if only people who do business will use this word, right? I, too, asked a person who didn't have any literary literacy to ask what literature was for.

Hou Shida didn't know that An Ran had thought so much in his heart, and Zhengse said: "The principle is the same, a businessman wants to sell goods to customers, doesn't the author want his book to have readers?" ”

Hey, that seems to make sense! An Ran was shocked for a moment, nodded hesitantly, and subconsciously wanted to hear what Hou Shida would say.

"Before writing a book, you thought about what kind of people it was written for without this book. Even if it's Dream of Red Mansions, there are many people who don't like to watch it. It is impossible for one book to please everyone. ”

An Ran lowered his head and pondered, frowned and shook his head: "I, I didn't think about it, I just thought this story was very good and wanted to write it." ”

"That's right!" Hou Shida nodded excitedly and said, "The story itself is very creative, but you have added too many elements to it in order to pursue perfection. It's just that at the beginning, if you want to show that the heroine transforms into a man and becomes a princess in half, then start with the fantasy plot. Adding the line of aunt crossing ancient times will only make the reader of this book hesitate, not knowing whether the book is traveling through history or transforming into fantasy. And for readers of these two novels, I'm afraid the overlap rate is not high enough......"

Hou Shida has read every novel of An Ran in his later life, and knows her writing techniques and skills well. Talking eloquently at the moment, every suggestion is like scratching her heart. Either the mouth suddenly opened, or suddenly realized, or I thought it was true, and gradually gave birth to a confidant-like feeling!

Is this Hou Shida really a computer science student? Why is he so good at studying literature, listening to him is even more rewarding than the professor of the literature department.

One of them talked, the other listened, and I don't know how long it took. Hou Shida told the beginning of An Ran's novel, and told her experience of reading online novels for nearly ten years.

"No, not today!" An Ran hugged his head, stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't listen to you anymore, otherwise my head will have to crash." ”

Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said: "By the way, let's talk about computers, this is your major, just change your thinking." ”

"What did you just say about the essay on artificial intelligence? I haven't heard of it. Enron sensitively felt that this word should be a very important piece of information.

Hou Shida has no opinion on changing the topic, and he doesn't have much inventory in his stomach, so he is about to reveal the stuffing, so he said immediately.

"Oh, artificial intelligence, it's a program that simulates human intelligence through computers."

"What, and this kind of program? It's impossible, I've never heard anyone say that computers can simulate human intelligence. An Ran looked at Hou Shida with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Hou Shida smiled confidently: "Hehe, in fact, the basic function of the computer - calculation, isn't it an imitation of human wisdom?" It can be seen that wisdom cannot be produced by artificial means. ”

"This, how is this the same." Enron obviously felt a great shock to this argument, thought about it again and again, and then said: "A computer is just a calculation tool, and it is essentially no different from an abacus. It is mechanical and soulless. And wisdom has a soul and is capable of creating! No matter how advanced computers are, can they replace humans in writing articles? ”

Hou Shida doesn't want to talk about what the soul is with a liberal arts student, but fortunately, this is not the first time to explain the relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence, and he is more or less a journeyman.

"Okay, then let me ask you a question."

This idea put forward by Enron can be said to be the first impression of artificial intelligence for the vast majority of people.

To say that computers can produce intelligence is like saying that abacus can become fine, which has been expressly forbidden since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Computers are tools, and all the results produced are manipulated by people. How, then, can it produce wisdom?

And to explain this problem, Hou Shida has actually done it many times.

An Ran straightened his sitting posture, looked at Hou Shida with a focused expression and nodded, with a serious expression as if he was going to sacrifice his life to defend the sanctity of mankind at any time.

"In terms of your professional content, Mr. An Ran, do you think that the ability to associate with literature in the process of writing is unique to human beings?"

"Of course, for literature, a rich imagination is the foundation. Association is not only the basic ability of literature, but even the basic driving force for the development of human society. ”

"Hehe, that's good. Since you say so, you must agree that association is a unique human ability? ”

An Ran nodded cautiously and said, "That's right, I don't believe that there is any other 'existence' besides human beings that can realize the associative ability of literature." ”

The corner of Hou Shida's mouth quietly smiled, and he said with satisfaction: "Okay, let me use a program to realize the human association ability." ”

He pulled out a piece of paper from the basket and spread it on the table, grabbed the ballpoint pen in hand, and scribbled a lot of text.

An Ran couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly looked over. As a result, a wisp of green silk in her ear spread out with the swing of her head, but it happened to be on Hou Shida's face.

Hou Shida felt An Ran's approach, and his subordinates were affected by the strange appearance on their faces, paused for a moment, and then continued to write as if nothing had happened.

And An Ran, at the moment, was unconsciously looking at what Hou Shida wrote.

At the moment, her mind is full of how to use computer programs to realize the function of "association", and as for other tasks and missions, she has long forgotten about them.

Originally, she was very sure about this, but when she saw Hou Shida's sworn appearance, she began to doubt whether what she insisted on was the truth.

Could it be that there are programs in this world that can realize the function of association, so will we literature students all be unemployed in the future? Whatever an article humans want to write, they just have to tell the computer what they want, and they can create the perfect article.

Hou Shida wrote very quickly, and a piece of A4-sized printing paper was quickly filled.

"This is a schematic diagram of a neural network algorithm, of course, very rudimentary schematic. AI still has a long way to go before this capability can be realized. ”

"And the realization of association in the human brain is through such a process......"

There is nothing else on Hou Shida's paper, in fact, there are many layers of words, and each layer of words is composed of several words.

Human beings' ability to associate is indeed very scum-like, and it seems to be a unique symbol of human wisdom. However, in the field of artificial intelligence, it has already been studied very thoroughly.

The so-called "association" is nothing more than the continuous stitching of instances in the human brain.

Taking text as an example, how do humans create articles through association? In fact, this is not a natural article and a clever hand.

In the case of "articles are made by nature, they are clever and come by chance", first of all, there must be the word "article", and then human beings will give an algorithm in their minds based on experience, which will form a temporary database, and all other instances that can be related to the word "article" will be searched out and included in it.

The human learning function then judges each of the resulting combinations, and if the combinations match the needs of reality, a pleasant positive feedback is formed. Eventually, humans will decide which word to use to match the "article" based on the strength of the positive feedback.

The higher the literary ability, the better the search algorithm in the mind, and the results in the database are few and accurate.

This is the truth that the article is natural and the magic hand gets. If you really want to get it by chance, what you get is not an article, but the invisible and intangible" "algorithm" in your mind.

This algorithm is like using a search engine's keyword, a genius keyword, often to find the information you have been looking for for a long time. And if the keywords are not the point, then you can only sigh in the face of a large number of search results.

Of course, behind such a simple principle, if you want to achieve such a function, it is not possible to explain it clearly in a few words.

Hou Shida wrote a word matrix, which simply simulates the process of human word selection and sentence formation.

An Ran originally had some disdain on his face, thinking that this was just a fallacy of Hou Shida. However, when he explained it again and really formed a sentence, she panicked......

This is something that human beings repeat countless times a day. In terms of proficiency, probably only the panting and heartbeat are higher.

Enron didn't think so, because he hadn't thought about it deeply. But she only savored it, and a feeling of familiarity came over her.

The process that has been running in my mind for hundreds of millions of times has long been carried out, and there is no need to present any evidence at all, and it is almost instinctive to judge the truth or falsity of this statement.

That's right, it seems......

Although Enron was reluctant, when he thought about it, he felt that he was really such a process when he was thinking.

Although most of the time, this process is fast and almost unnoticed by humans. But people like her, who often write articles, tend to encounter such things as "Kavin".

It's just an article written and written, and suddenly I don't know how to write it. At this time, the speed of thinking slows down, and you can feel the words emerging from your mind. And these words were really picked out from her memory through an experiential search.

According to Hou Shida's design, if the "algorithm" is solved, it seems that the process of human "association" can really be simulated through the computer!

This is amazing! An Ran felt that his three views seemed to have been completely refreshed.

Why is it that computers can hope to be able to realize capabilities that should be human only? Or is artificial intelligence really possible?

Whether this is true or not, Enron can't help but admit that Hou Shida is a very talented person. His research on human thinking alone, even if it turns out to be wrong, can't hide his talent.

Before Newton, there must have been people who pondered why the apple fell to the ground, and Newton was just lucky to be on the right path, and it cannot be said that other people who saw this problem were not talented.

At the very least, Hou Shida seems to be the first, proposing a plausible explanation for the process of human thought.

No one, at least Enron, has ever heard of anyone who can explain the process of human thinking and association. Even just asking the question is already a great feat.

What's more, he also gave a seemingly good answer?

Hou Shida, this person doesn't seem to be just the roommate of playboy Li Jiufeng, right?

An Ran blinked his eyes and looked at Hou Shida's expression seriously and intently. The disgust in my heart that I even sat down because of Li Jiufeng had turned into curiosity.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the hallway. A familiar voice sounded from the corridor, and walked towards Hou Shida's bedroom from far and near.

"Meow—"

"Hou Shida, you dare to keep pets in school!"

"I, Jia Houwei, am the first to disagree!"
