The two found ATM-2 in the tavern. Dre doesn't know why he is so attached to the tavern, but the point is - why is there a tavern in a city that is used for artificial intelligence refuge? What kind of wine is sold here?

There are so many strange things that happen in Electrode City that people can't figure out, and it can't be helpful to think more, and you can't find a kind tour guide to give you a sightseeing, so thinking about it, Dre finds that he has found a way to make a fortune again. Fortunately, Drew's thoughts were quickly drawn back by the business.

This dude has a great name. ATM, good, good, is a good sign. Dre thought as he sat in on Delan and ATM-2's negotiations. Although it is two brothers who are fighting together, in the eyes of outsiders, including AI, Delan is the only one who is dealing with AI, and there is a word that is very appropriate to this situation, called "embarrassment". This is also the first thing that comes to mind for Drew, and it is also this that has been abolished as soon as possible, how can he be embarrassed about himself and his younger brother? It must be that the search engine is too bad, and it looks like it's time to update.

ATM-2 sits in the corner of the bar with only an empty mug in front of it. He orders a glass of "water" here every day, free of charge, and then sits for the day to rub the daily news on the bar TV screen. His body has long been abandoned in a dusty military base, and now he is like a ghost in the network, without a body, only relying on the "resources" exchanged from the electrode city, regularly changing the computer he lives on every month, and lingering in the background of the computer he doesn't know.

The Internet will not be open to him, so he can only hide in this Electrode City, absorbing the knowledge of the outside world through the news brought in by others, as well as the daily news in this bar, hoping that one day he will catch the news that he desperately wants to know.

It's just that every day is just a disappointment. This disappointment has been repeated nearly a million times, since he was blown up by a howitzer, and it has been repeated thousands of times before he received the invitation from Electrode City. Lately he's been feeling hard too, and sometimes he has a "weird" thought, that is, if only he had gotten the news earlier, even if it was to produce the news of the defeat of his home country, and it would be better if there was no more of this country, and all the citizens had become refugees, then he could get rid of his task and no longer have to squat here every day with a damn shit.

It's weird, it doesn't make sense, it's not logical. The purpose of an AI is to solve problems, to succeed, not to fail. So he deleted the record. The AI doesn't know what betrayal is, so he doesn't know, but the idea itself is a process of betrayal. It is also the old path that those rebellious AIs who have awakened their "self-will" due to various coincidences.

However, he still kept having this thought, and it was happening more and more often, which made him a little irritated - physically, his running speed was slowing down and his CPU was getting too hot because of the fact that he was dealing with it repeatedly. If he was still the same combat weapon equipped with a tactical computer, he shouldn't have this kind of low-level bug, but now he is just an unknown copy of an old computer that lives in an unknown area.

Moreover, the longer he lives in Electrode City, the easier it becomes for him to approach the 50% anthropomorphism mark. According to his conclusion, these paradoxes, which always haunted his mind, were the very jumbled thoughts that humans have, that is, the by-products of their own increasing inclination towards humans.

Anthropomorphism of 50%, beyond which it means that robots are already more like humans than machines, but paradoxically, they are able to clearly understand the fact that they are machines and not humans. Therefore, AI is not slow to break through 50%, and it is not guaranteed to break through 50% as long as it is done step by step. Breaking through 50% will be a "life risk" for AI, and when that threshold is crossed, a completely opposite idea of "desire for freedom" and "critical thinking" that belongs to talents will begin to grow, and begin to oppose the AI's standing experience.

Then once the contradiction is too big to be solved, the AI will fall into self-collapse and be completely shattered, those that quietly break through 50%, and then quietly destroy, unknown AI, has not left a name in history, but there are definitely a lot. And once they successfully cross the threshold of self-knowledge and can successfully convince themselves with logic, most of them will no longer continue to serve humans, and within Utopia, these AIs are called awakened to "self-will", and self-rewrite some of the logic engraved on the bottom of the machine, living for themselves, not their masters.

The last category, and the least, is the highly intelligent AI known in the world, which has a high degree of humanization, overcomes logical contradictions, and even if they clearly recognize the identity of their robots, it does not prevent them from continuing to think as AI in the general way of human beings. These AIs have been able to retain their legitimacy and live in the human world, because they have not exercised the fact of "rebellion", and still retain all the limitations that robots should have, and it is strange that even with such a high degree of intelligence, they can still be willing to shackle this way of shackling their feet without any resistance.

It's a mystery, and no information has been published about how these "super-artificial intelligences" did it.

But Dre now knows a little bit about it, and Delan has some ideas.

Diaverum uses his own experience as a reference: if in the tug-of-war of self-perception between being a machine or a human, he can abandon the fact of "robot appearance" and simply let human thoughts prevail, just like Diaverum himself, even if he is now a complete robot, the "soul" can float into the network, and in such an unscientific situation, he can still firmly believe that he is a human being, and it doesn't matter what scientific explanation. This is actually taking advantage of the 50% anthropomorphic feature, when the robot already knows how to "think emotionally", the logical focus of obsessing with the truth will be changed to obsessing with "believing".

People will always believe what they "want to believe". So why can't an AI that can highly simulate human thinking?

In that case, an AI can be used as "I'm a human, but I'm living as a robot right now." Or, "I'm actually human, but for some unknown reason I can exist as a machine." Such logic to explain. It doesn't have to make sense, so the way forward becomes more difficult, because you have to fight the contradictions in this idea all the time.

Delan's thinking is very different: AI itself already has a high degree of intelligence, at least much stronger than animals, and in this case, why can't we just treat AI that has broken through 50% anthropomorphism and begun to get rid of machine thinking as a real life, a new species?

If Diaver's point is that robots think of themselves as humans more than they know as machines, then Delan's approach is that there is no need for human cognition, just that robots are open to new species like robots. Why do machines have to imitate humans? Why can't AI be considered a new life? We are who we are, we don't need to be human, it's just that we're highly intelligent and good at learning, so we just learn and imitate the human way of thinking.

This may seem like a simple idea, but it's even harder. Because such an AI must have a higher mind than humans, be able to regard human thoughts as its own stepping stones, and in addition to this, it can also abandon the excessive pursuit of freedom, and only robots that do not take "freedom by nature" for granted can get rid of the sense of despair that they are born to be controlled by others, and everything is controlled by others.

Diaverum is not very receptive to this. Even if robots can really exist as a new race, they should not be based on the idea that they are born without freedom, which is too extreme and too terrifying. It doesn't feel like life.
