Chapter 276: Another Artificial Intelligence

There's so much information behind this line of information.

First of all, Meng Chao can confirm that the "Mystery of the Demon God" is not a purely combat-type mission.

You don't need to play with these high-IQ, ferocious super-intelligent monsters, and you can only complete the task by destroying them all.

It's about finding the right leads, reporting them to the relevant authorities, getting more feedback, and finding more leads – the basic process, that's it.

After all, with his thin arms and legs of the two-star spirit transformation realm, even if the remaining eight demon gods have not yet developed, it is not something he can solve alone.

Secondly, yesterday's experience, as well as the underground monsters seen in the nightmare, are related to one of the eight demon gods, so the progress of the mission will be improved.

But how is that possible?

"I dreamed of ...... A giant sandworm is ten times more efficient at devouring rocks than ordinary sandworms, and can even drill through the foundations of high-rise buildings in downtown areas, causing powerful earthquakes. ”

Meng Chao wiped his face and muttered to himself, "Could it be that this is one of the demon gods?" ”

Thinking about it carefully, among the memory fragments of the previous life, one of the so-called "Nine Demon Gods" seems to have sandworm-like monsters hidden deep underground.

However, the difference between the "demon god" and the "doomsday beast" is not destructive power, but wisdom.

Mammals or birds with brains have evolved intelligence, and Meng Chao can still understand it.

Can such primitive and inferior creatures as sandworms evolve intelligence?

Meng Chao was scratching his head, Ning She had already called, and asked him in a somewhat impatient tone if he had leaked what happened yesterday.

"How is that possible?"

Meng Chao said, "Didn't we sign a confidentiality agreement before we entered the Monster Research Institute, and besides, the pinhole found in the ear canal of the biochemical pet beast proves that it is very likely that it is not an accident, but a vicious crime, and it will be handed over to the Transcendent Tower and the Inquisition. ”

"That's good."

Ning She breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "You look at the news on the Internet, someone stabbed this matter out, the torn bodies of the three victims, and the wounds left by the righteous brave and the biochemical pet beasts when they were fighting, all kinds of bloody pictures are available on the Internet, and it has been full of turmoil in the city. ”

"What?"

Meng Chao suddenly sobered up.

Putting down the phone, I didn't care about washing my face, and I took a look at the largest monster forum in Dragon City, and sure enough, several popular posts with a high degree of attention were discussing this biochemical pet beast out of control and hurting people.

"It's terrible, the biochemical pet beast that gets along day and night turns into a bloodthirsty demon in an instant, in this way, who dares to keep a pet!"

"Monsters are monsters, no matter how you raise them, you can't raise them well, so it's better to destroy all the monsters, pet beasts, and biochemical beasts in Dragon City as soon as possible!"

"I heard that after the three biochemical pet beasts got out of control, they also had a fierce battle with the righteous and brave people who rushed to hear the news, and the righteous and brave ones are the combat-type transcendents of the one-star spirit pattern realm, just like this, it took a lot of effort and feet, and they were not lightly injured, the combat effectiveness of these biochemical pet beasts is too high, right?"

"There's no way, Dragon City has been attacked by monsters all year round, and many pet companies that are good at biochemical modulation have used their products as 'companion form', 'work form' and 'battle form' as selling points, and wantonly inserted the genes of various fierce beasts into pets, but they ignored the issue of stability and safety, how could it not have an accident?"

The mainstream views in the forum are all criticizing the "spiritual creatures" for their desire for profit and disregard for safety.

Even though there are some supporters of biochemical pet beasts, they can't make too strong a refutation in front of the blood-drenched and shocking photos of the scene.

Meng Chao stared at the bloody pictures that were not mosaic for a long time, and saved them one by one.

After flipping through a few more pages of unnutritious speculation and scolding, I closed the webpage and switched to the on-campus forum of the Agricultural University.

Sure enough, as a stakeholder, the information on the on-campus forum of the Agricultural University was much more detailed, which gave him a more detailed understanding of what happened at "Sega Sky City" that day, in chronological order.

The speeches of many teachers and students are more insightful than ordinary netizens.

However, one of the most popular posts in the school today was reprinted from another school, which is on the opposite side of biochemical modulation technology.

"In the past half century, Dragon City, on the one hand, has been engaged in a brutal 'monster war', and the eternal struggle between humans and monsters for living space has become the main theme of civilization progress;

The anonymous post reads, "Inside and outside the city, as if there are two worlds, on the foggy battlefield dozens of kilometers away, the hot blood of human beings is stained with the cold claws and scales of monsters, and we curse monsters as demons, destroyers, killing machines, nightmares, hell and doomsday, and even without cursing, the word 'monster' represents our most distinctive attitude."

"However, in the city, all kinds of biochemical war beasts, pet beasts, and working beasts are in full bloom, and there are more and more of them, helping us dig tunnels, develop underground space, clean up household garbage, provide help and comfort to the physically and mentally disabled, and even accompany us in battle, as if we are comrades in arms who share life and death.

"The more our civilization fights monsters, the more we study monsters, and the more we can't do without the help of monsters.

"In the end, even babbling children will put their arms around the neck of the biochemical pet beast and wave their immature fists at the hideous monsters on the screen - although the difference between the biochemical pet beast and the nightmare beast may be just a string of unstable genes, a small chip that is very likely to malfunction.

"I'm not saying that domesticating monsters is necessarily wrong.

"After all, tens of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors were still hunting near caves on the earth, they began to try to domesticate wild animals, and domesticated the hideous-looking hungry wolf into loyal hunting dogs.

"However, I also hope that everyone can understand the difference between domesticating pigs, dogs, cows and sheep and domesticating monsters.

"The gene chain of otherworldly creatures is too unstable, the speed of evolution and mutation is too fast, and many monsters themselves have no less brain capacity and brain circuits than humans, even the wisdom of wild monsters is equivalent to that of human children of seven or eight years old, what they lack from wisdom is just a social system, and it is just a massive amount of information input.

"No one knows how great the potential of these monsters is, how can you keep a monster with a very high probability of hiding mind control abilities like a pet dog?

"Of course, I don't want to kill the existing biochemical modulation technology, as some netizens said, it is neither possible nor reasonable to humanely destroy the biochemical pet beasts, war beasts and working beasts.

"But I still have to ask, where is the bottom line for us to modulate monsters, to what extent do we want to improve the wisdom of monsters, do we have to create a perfect monster with an IQ that surpasses that of humans, and has a strong carapace and sharp claws, or can fly away, before we realize that we are raising tigers?

"Don't think I'm alarmist.

"Humans have never learned enough about being overly obsessed with and using technology, and when we have a hammer in our hands, we always have to find a nail to knock it on.

"Now that Dragon City has more than a hundred biochemical modulation companies, in the face of fierce market competition and a huge profit cake with great imagination, can these talented and talented beast masters, modulators, and monster experts really restrain their passions and desires?

"Let them concoct monsters as they want and turn our civilization into a complete 'monster civilization', in the end, what will become of the people of Dragon City?

"I don't know, but I can imagine.

"In many science fiction works, there is the classic theme of 'artificial intelligence mutiny', it seems that we are born with a fear of very distrustful of these cold machines around us, especially when the machines are injected with intricate and incomprehensible code, and seem to be running on their own, we will always unconfidently suspect that we will be replaced by these stronger, smarter, and more ruthless iron lumps.

"But that's unfounded.

"At least, in terms of Dragon City's current rune technology and optical brain automation level, real artificial intelligence is still a long way from being born, machinery, just machinery, 100% obedient to human machinery.

"But who says AI has to be born between cold chips and machines?

"If after biochemical modulation, some kind of monster that is already good at mind control has a brain that is a hundred times more developed than humans, and then produces terrifying intelligence, isn't this another form of 'artificial intelligence', it will definitely not get out of control?

"Why do many people feel instinctive fear when they see a talking humanoid machine? But when you see a pet dog that can understand the owner's commands, you think it's very cute?

"You know, it's just a fantasy that a metal machine becomes self-aware and then loses control.

"But the flesh machine becomes self-conscious, and then loses control, and eats its creator, but it is an imminent threat!

"After all, those of us who claim to be the spirits of all things, in the final analysis, are just flesh and blood machines, and there is no essential difference between our brains and the brains of monsters, and even the dissection results of many doomsday beasts, the functions that can be achieved by their brains are still above the human brain, but they have never been developed or sealed.

"Now, ask again, are we ready to break the seal of the monster's brain and unleash a true otherworldly spirit that coexists with, or even be wiped out by, a very different, unpredictable artificial intelligence?"
