The Dean was intrigued by Drew's current state: "It's a miracle, we didn't plan to copy your entire brain, including your memories, because it has always caused some self-cognitive 'bugs'. We feel that an AI that has been copied in its entirety may fall into self-doubt and 'die'. In fact, the records left by the main computer last night show that your replica brain is indeed in a considerable amount of confusion, which is not supposed to be the behavior of a physical AI, but rather a reaction after having human memory. I thought he was 'dead', but I didn't expect the main computer to receive an alert from Lender again today. So I'm curious about your current state, and this time, we've plugged your entire brain into a computer, so are you an AI or a human being? Let's talk about it. ”

"Of course I'm human!" "I don't know how, I feel like I'm just going to be in the dark, and when I wake up, I find myself locked in the computer, I can't see, I can't listen, I can't speak, until you turn on the camera." I warn you, it's better to disconnect quickly and wake me up, or I'll sue you for illegal imprisonment! ”

The dean was noncommittal: "It's impossible, and it's still too early to prove that you are human, theoretically speaking, you now have the complete memory of being a human, then even if you are an AI, you will identify yourself as a human, because you have not been treated as an AI since you were a child, I think we should start with some simple Turing test, if you can make more than 60% of people think that you are a 'human', I don't think there is a problem." ”

The Turing test is to test whether an AI is human-like enough, and he is probably the first to participate in the Turing test in order to be proven to be human, and it is ironic to be considered "very human-like" by others. Of course, he was not prepared to follow the old man's method, and after thinking about it, he decided to strike first.

"I don't care what I do, after all, there's no doubt that I'll pass the test. But I think you broke the agreement and copied my memories in the first place, right? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will definitely dig out about the human experiment! Now, I'm connected to the Internet, and it only takes a second to publish this information online. ”

The dean was silent for a few seconds, and laughed helplessly: "I didn't expect you to bargain and blackmail, well, I admit that I kind of believe that you are indeed human." AI rarely makes such a soft threat, after all, the AI mindset is not 'human'. After a pause for a few seconds, he then sneered, "Of course, it won't be as stupid as you." Of course, the network you connect to is the company's internal local area network, and your information cannot be transmitted. ”

After a small warning, the negotiations between the two sides are finally on track.

The Dean flatly rejected the idea that Dre wanted to return to his human body, this time for the following reason: "You don't know, until we plug in the computer, your consciousness is in a coma. If you're really conscious of the computer now, then if we cut off the connection, you might have to be a vegetative person for the rest of your life. ”

Nonsense.

The first half of the sentence may be true, but the second half of the sentence must be nonsense, Dre hates this old man so much, but he doesn't dare to bet, what if his baby body really becomes a vegetative state?

"Well," the old man's tone changed, "there is indeed a way to get you back into your body. Of course, you will need to help you in researching this method. How about you being treated as a core member of the lab? ”

Although Dre didn't intend to believe him at all, and he didn't intend to be honest about his situation, on the other hand, he didn't know exactly what he was doing, and it was important to be able to understand what was happening to him through collaboration. As for the core members of the laboratory, he didn't take it seriously at all, I'm afraid he will be the "core research material" and "core hostage" at that time, right? After thinking about it, he decided to hear what this method was first.

"This brings us to our other project, do you think you would rather be in a computer or in a 'human' body?"

Dre just sneered, although the old man asked, but there was no possibility of letting him go back to the human body, for Fang Dan, as long as he still existed as an AI for a day, he would be their property for a day, and no one in society would listen to his own AI nonsense, but would just be out of control. So he listened and watched the old man do whatever he was doing.

"I think the answer is very simple, any anthropomorphic AI that imitates human intelligence naturally wants to have a body like a human, and only in this way can they maximize their own thinking as a human and understand human emotions. Therefore, after successfully developing a humanized AI with emotions, we have prepared a bionic robot for AI. This is the android project. ”

Dre thought silently in his heart, always feeling that there was some conspiracy in this plan, but it was indeed as he said, if he could really successfully access the bionic human body, then there would be hope for returning to his body, and the topic went around for a long time, as if the other party was really thinking about him. Of course, Dérse doesn't believe it. Although he didn't believe it, he could only accept it, he had already felt the tough attitude of the other party, and his body was still a hostage in the hands of the other party. It was a heavy choice, but he seemed to have only one option, one compromise.

"Okay, I agree." A sentence is like a command, and as this sentence is spoken, Dre feels that a program in his "body" is activated, as if he has made an unbreakable vow, and he can feel that from this moment on he is no longer free, his actions will be monitored, and betrayal may lead to destruction - he has become a robot bound by the "protocol".

"Then the agreement is reached, Mr. Drew, I think your body needs to be taken care of. Please adapt to the life of AI as soon as possible, and we will soon start new research. I guess you'll love AI's ultra-efficient learning, and maybe take the opportunity to give up? Haha......"

Dre swore that if he could successfully return to his body one day, he would give the old man a hard punch.

……

11:00 a.m., near the Esplanade University campus.

This is the most concentrated snack street in the entire coastal area. In this era of almost universal takeaway, only the food stalls, bubble tea shops, and bars near the university still retain their original flavor, but their vigorous vitality comes more from the needs of those youthful and vigorous life and love than serious catering.

Among them, the "high-end", large space, quiet and private Nagoku bar and the affordable and warm atmosphere of bean bean milk tea are the most popular, and the two stores themselves are also incompatible with each other in the name of "dating sanctuary".

Later, the owners of the two stores were angry and refused to give up, and each hired a robot clerk who was very popular at the time to help them take care of it. However, what no one expected was that the two stores that had been incompatible for several years would actually join forces in the hands of AI - the AI of the two companies calculated and found that opening a store at the same time could only hurt both sides, so they tacitly divided the morning and evening periods, the tavern rested during the day, and the milk tea shop closed in the evening. So the two "dating holy places" became one, you sang and I appeared, and the business became a share, which was a good story for a while.

What's even more interesting is that the AI that made this decision happened to come from the School of Computer Science of Binhai University, so the school also used it as a promotional spot and became an officially certified attraction.

At this time, the three of Utopia, except for the boy in sunglasses, happened to gather at this prestigious bubble tea shop. In addition to a few couples in the store, there are only three big men who look like old alumni of science and engineering, which is really eye-catching, but fortunately, the clerks are robots, and the men and women who come to date are unlikely to have any interest in them.

Aristotle touched his phone with a constipated face, and the anxiety on his face could wring out water. Skynet came sooner than expected, and before they could get closer, the port was already blocked, which forced Utopia HQ to terminate the plan in time.

In the next few weeks, they will need to survive two weeks under the watchful eye of Skynet, waiting for follow-up support. And that's not the most worrying thing for him - it wasn't until they changed the trucks that Skynet's true weirdness was revealed.

Obviously, they have avoided all the surveillance, but they are still surrounded and intercepted by each other, sometimes all kinds of passers-by who do not know the truth are staring at them, the grocery shopping aunt watching them whisper to each other, and even more excessively, they are chased by several young girls frantically...... It's all so weird.

It wasn't until later that Aristotle saw the news from several of his social groups and learned that they were being overshadowed by Skynet's bot. Now there is news about the three of them on the Internet, whether true or false, what wanted criminals, second-tier male stars in disguise, dog beaters who abduct and sell lost pets, and hit-and-run drivers...... It is all about topics that spread quickly and widely, and the people like to see them.

"You two, your matcha latte and lemon black tea are ready."

Hume took the drink and handed it to Aristotle, but he chatted warmly with the clerk, who, though smiling with confusion and politeness, kept talking like a leper dog and a kraft candy. Several couples had been secretly laughing for a long time before he walked back with a nonchalant face.

Aristotle looked at Hume in disbelief: "I didn't think you were such a person!" Could it be that your usual cold-faced rationality is pretended? ”

"What do you mean? Chatting? I only do that when I need to, you can try it too, it's pretty good. As he spoke, he pressed it on the neck computer in the back of his head, and took out a chip with the words "chat" written on it, "Chat Module, a selection of 30,000 responses, and never let you become the king of the cold field." ”

Aristotle breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he gloated a little: "I'll be spared, so I won't be cold." Did you know that the person you just chatted with was ......?"

“AI？ Of course it has to be AI, I'm here to collect intelligence, not to flirt with girls. The AI here has been working for many years, and it is much better informed than a few college students here. We have to prepare to integrate here as soon as possible, rent a house first, and establish a circle of acquaintances with the people around us, otherwise we will never be able to escape the surveillance of ordinary people. ”

"It's easy to do, I graduated here before, and there should be a few alumni nearby who can help."
