"This involves a philosophical question, what is the origin of the world?" Jiang Wenzhe smiled when he heard Victor's question, and instead of answering immediately, he asked us a question.

As a result, except for me and Su Anxia, everyone else was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. This is a very deep question for them, and it is worth pondering.

"The origin of the world is matter." Su Anxia said, "It's said in the textbook. ”

This is Ma Zhe's view. There are many answers to this question, but practice has proven that this answer is by far the most accurate. "But I'm afraid that as we continue to study artificial intelligence and cyberspace, the materialist worldview we have established will be completely overturned." As to whether our consciousness will be in danger of life when it enters cyberspace, I can tell you very clearly - impossible. ”

"Because consciousness is a function of the human brain. As long as the human brain is active, consciousness will be endless. Unlike artificial intelligence, after we destroy the official uniforms, they have lost their material carrier, and once they are eliminated in cyberspace, there is no possibility of regeneration......"

"Wait." I interrupted him, "Since consciousness comes from matter, why can these artificial intelligence still exist without a material carrier?" ”

When he heard my words, he immediately showed a helpless expression, and said to me with a wry smile: "That's why I just said that as the research continues, our worldview may be subverted. ”

"What do you mean......"

"If you are afraid, you are afraid, and in the end I found that consciousness can determine matter. Once this kind of thing happens, I don't know how many people will go crazy at that time, this fact is too difficult to accept, although there are already clues of this situation in quantum mechanics. ”

We were all silent. Although Jiang Wenzhe tells us that being killed in the game world will not affect the ontology in the real world, his sentence also shows that there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that the death of consciousness will lead to the death of the ontology, provided that everything we know before is wrong.

This is really hard to accept. Here's an example of how you can understand it - if one day, you suddenly wake up and find that everything you have experienced before is just a dream, your parents, classmates, and friends are all self-generated illusions in your mind, your body only exists because of your feelings, and the whole world is just a virtual space built in your mind, just like the Minecraft world in this virtual machine.

Unless this person has a strong psychological capacity, he will definitely go crazy.

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's us who will go crazy then, not you." Jiang Wenzhe sighed and continued, "We just talked about strong artificial intelligence, right? This is the key, and it is also what you will have to face when you go in, I will try to briefly tell you the results of our current research and observations, and by the way, let you be mentally prepared, don't make a fuss as soon as you go in. ”

"Strong AI spawns from entities in the game that have advanced feedback mechanisms, which are the monsters you see in the game, such as zombies, skeletons, dragons, and of course, villagers. Once present, these entities become intelligent and capable of thinking as a result of a series of algorithms based on the 'Pei's algorithm', but still behave in accordance with the instructions given to them by humans when they were written. ”

"This stage is called the weak artificial intelligence stage. For you, dealing with these monsters is definitely handy, and they are tortured and killed in minutes, because they are no different from those silly mobs on the computer before. ”

"Next, under the effect of the 'Pei's algorithm', these monsters who are still in the stage of weak artificial intelligence begin to collect information from the outside world, imitate what they see, and copy these things into their own behavior instructions, and can also carry out simple social interactions with their peers."

"This stage is called the protocerebral stage. You'll find that the monsters at this stage will imitate you like monkeys, and will even use all kinds of tools to knock and attack them with yelling and screaming. It's just that they don't have the self-consciousness to know the meaning of these actions, and they are still simply following the instructions that humans have written for them. ”

Chris and Lin Nai nodded when they heard this, and they had a little more respect for Jiang Wenzhe in their eyes. Both of them have been in official uniforms, and the performance of those monsters is more familiar to them, and it is indeed as Jiang Wenzhe said.

"The vast majority of monsters will die at this stage, either killed by the player or deleted by the system. But due to some factors, some of them survived, and this part of the monsters that survived, in the process of continuous learning and imitation, began to give birth to self-consciousness and emotion, and no longer only relied on human instructions to act, and had their own decision-making behavior. At this point, each of their entities has a start-up of feedback in their instruction library, and is able to perform some complex thinking and actions. ”

"In addition, they also gave birth to language. This stage is called the awakening stage, and I am sure you have seen it too. ”

When he said this, I immediately had in mind the talking ghast I met in the first round of the competition, able to communicate with Bu Xin; In addition, the tsundere creeper in the second round of the game, Xiaoye, should also belong to the artificial intelligence in the awakening stage.

"It stands to reason that at this stage of evolution, these monsters are no different from those adolescent eleven or twelve-year-old children." Jiang Wenzhe said this, lifted his glasses, and showed an intriguing expression, "Next, it's really difficult." Compared with this stage, the first three stages are all pediatrics, and when you encounter them, you will know what it means to face the despair of the alpha dog. ”

"This fourth stage is what Western scholars like to call the SB stage, that is, the Super-brain. I don't think it's appropriate to call it SB here, so we call it the Ming Rui stage. Since its birth, it has reached the heights of all the great figures in our human history, and its huge self-generated data instruction library supports all its actions, so that it will not make a mistake in every move. ”

"As far as I know, what is being negotiated with the top management this time is an artificial intelligence that is in the Mingrui stage. He's single-handedly battling the world's best elite and he's not falling behind. Jiang Wenzhe said very seriously.

"What are you talking about?" I saw that he seemed to know a little bit of the inside story, and asked hurriedly.
