644 Scientism Is Not Science
(Some of the ideas in this chapter may cause some friends to be unhappy, please be cautious and do not spray.) )
"Master, please speak, apprentice listen." Hearing his master's suggestion, Xiao Yuan hurriedly said.
"I'm just a layman, what I said may not be right, as soon as you hear it, you can use what is appropriate, and you don't have to worry about being a teacher if it is not suitable." The old man said again.
"The apprentice understands." Xiao Yuan said.
"Well, I just listened to your introduction for the teacher, the intelligence of this intelligent system is completely comparable to that of a person, and he also has a very powerful knowledge base, so this intelligent system should have a very strong learning ability?" The old man asked.
"That's how it should be." Xiao Yuan replied that he had not personally verified the learning ability of this intelligent system, so he could only answer based on his own experience.
"How does it compare to people?" The old man asked.
"After all, the artificial intelligence system is not a real person, so the learning and understanding of knowledge is relatively mechanical, and it is certainly not as good as a human in general, but artificial intelligence also has its own advantages, especially some artificial intelligence programs developed for specific fields, after special training, its performance is much better than that of people, and it can even do things that are difficult for many people to do." Xiao Yuan said that these are based on his own understanding of artificial intelligence, thinking of the particularity of the intelligent system 002, he added, "However, the intelligent system 002 is very different from ordinary artificial intelligence." ”
"Xiao Yuan, my idea is, what if this intelligent system is allowed to learn the theory of easy learning?" The old man asked.
"If you look at the characteristics of the computer itself, the effect is not necessarily good, from a large point of view, some things in our traditional Chinese culture are not suitable for computing to achieve, and the same is true for easy learning." Xiao Yuan said.
"Why do you say that?" The old man frowned and asked.
"Or related to the implementation principle of the computer, if you look at it at a deeper level, it should be related to the cultural source of the realization of computer technology, in fact, our current technology, if you investigate its roots, the vast majority of it comes from Western culture, and easy learning is one of the important essences of Eastern culture, forcibly pull the two together, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of strong matching." Xiao Yuan said, speaking of which, he stopped the topic, smiled and said, "I seem to be a little far away." ”
"Haha, it's not far, it's not far, you're thinking deeply, and the teacher is very interested in your thoughts, can you be more specific?" The old man smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and said that he was very interested in the topic that Xiao Yuan pulled out.
"We in the East, macroscopically speaking, the East Asian culture rooted in traditional Chinese culture, a basic feature is macroscopic and systematic, ignoring the appearance of things, and attaching importance to the essence of things, which can be said to be manifested in all aspects, such as easy learning, such as traditional Chinese medicine and music, painting, our words and language, etc., and the characteristics of Western culture and Eastern culture are very different, perhaps a historical coincidence, in a sense, The way Western culture understands things and laws is diametrically opposed to Eastern culture, this topic is too big, and my understanding is also very superficial, I hope you don't laugh, master. Xiao Yuan continued.
"You're saying a good thing, keep talking." The old man said.
"There is no doubt that today's science and technology originate from the West, and the traditional culture of the East is incompatible in some aspects, therefore, using modern mainstream science and technology to measure or study some things in the East is often inappropriate, for example, using some methods and standards of Western medicine to study and measure Chinese medicine, and trying to use science to explain Yixue, whether this kind of research is appropriate, itself is debatable, and what is even more ridiculous is that when these studies do not get the answers people want, some people stand up, Blatantly accusing our ancestors of being idealistic, pseudo-scientific, and superstitious for thousands of years, but we don't know that these people themselves are already philosophically called scientism, and scientism itself is a kind of idealism, believing that modern scientific theories and technologies are omnipotent, and the idea that can explain all phenomena in the world is itself the biggest superstition! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan felt that his mood was a little uneasy, and quickly stopped the topic, and said with a smile: "I really talked away this time, master, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, you go on." The old man didn't care, and continued to encourage Xiao Yuan to continue.
"Of course, the Eastern and Western cultures are not completely incompatible, in fact, the Eastern and Western cultures have not stopped communicating and learning from each other since the beginning of their production, take computer technology as an example, the most basic binary inspiration in its realization is said to come from the deduction method of the yin and yang hexagram in the easy learning, and there are many things in the Eastern culture from the Western culture, but after all, they are two completely different philosophical systems, so if you have to use the computer to deconstruct the easy learning, I am afraid it is inappropriate, even if it can be made, I think it may also be in vain, but the essence is rare. Xiao Yuan said.
"Xiao Yuan, haven't you been doing experiments that combine chaos theory and easy learning, why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Xia Jiuying asked.
"In fact, my experiment has not been smooth, there are many reasons, in addition to the technology itself, another very important reason is that the model I designed does not express the essence of easy learning very well, these ideas have always been there, but these days I think a little more, just mentioned, I complained casually, hehe." Xiao Yuan said.
"Xiao Yuan, Weishi understands your thoughts, but Weishi still hopes that you can continue to work hard, find the combination of computer technology and easy learning, and carry out the research you are currently doing." The old man said.
"The apprentice just had a feeling, I will continue this research and will never give up." Xiao Yuan said.
"Well, this intelligent system is extraordinary, and you might be able to learn from some of its design methods." The old man said.
"Thank you, master, this intelligent system is indeed extraordinary, I dare to conclude that the design method it uses is completely different from the current mainstream artificial intelligence theory in the world, and even its theoretical basis is completely different from our current computer theoretical basis, if you can figure out its principle, for me, it will be a great inspiration." Xiao Yuan said.
"Well, but I think you might as well try my suggestion and pass on some easy-to-learn knowledge to it and see how much it can learn, which is also an experiment." The old man said again.
"I will." Although Xiao Yuan didn't have much expectations for making the agent easy to learn, he still agreed with the old man's suggestion, and felt that it was not a bad thing to use easy learning to expand the knowledge base of the intelligent system.
"Aren't you going to give this agent a name, have you thought of a name?" The old man asked, gesturing to the computer.
"I haven't thought about it yet, this name may affect the personality of the agent, we are discussing." Xiao Yuan said.
"Why don't you come up with a name for us, grandpa?" Xia Jiuying said.
"I want grandpa to pick up the name, okay." The old man readily agreed, and after a little thought, he said, "Let's call it Ning Lan, Ning Lan is the name of grandpa's poor granddaughter, take this name, first, it is a commemoration, and second, this name is taken from Tranquility and Zhiyuan, the meaning of Lan Xinhui is also good." ”
ps: There was a problem with the network at home yesterday, and it was not fixed until now, so I apologize to my friends who are waiting for more.
