While the four of Utopia were being chased by Skynet, Dre fell into a rare calm.

What does it feel like to be stunned by an electric current? The first thing I felt was pain and heat, my body felt as if it was about to melt, and all the pain was condensed in a short moment, making people lose consciousness instantly.

Like anyone, after receiving such a blow, Dre first felt strong remorse, it was too painful, this second seemed to be extraordinarily long, he hated his meddling, why should he get involved in these dangerous things? Why do we have to live this sin? I'll leave the spy to Fontaine's people to worry about! What kind of hero are you a little employee who does chores? What is strong? He swore that good people and good deeds would be good this time, and there would be no next time!

Then he thought sadly, he didn't know if he could wake up, and the medical expenses might be a lot of money, if he couldn't wake up, he didn't know what to do with his family's loan and his brother's tuition, can't you not be so impulsive!

But if you think about it optimistically, maybe it's shock, maybe you can mix up the bonus because of righteousness, when he was in the elevator, he felt that he seemed to be able to manipulate the experimental brain - or he was the experimental brain at the time, so he immediately connected to the main computer and triggered the alarm, reporting the theft of "himself" in advance, and I don't know if the alarm was treated as a BUG (error).

Strange, why have I been thinking about it for so long? I'm still very conscious!

Although the strong feeling made him lose his "consciousness" for a moment, he didn't seem to lose his memory just like that, and at the last moment he saw the Utopia trio walking towards the Subaru sports car, and the next second his vision went off like a TV screen, and his eyes fell into a bottomless darkness.

Having lost his sense of sight and hearing, he felt as if he had been locked in an airtight small dark room, and could only think quietly in this darkness.

After thinking about it for a long time, Dre finally realized that he still had a chance to turn around, and quickly tried to "open" his eyelids and take a closer look at this black rumbling place. However, his attempts were in vain, and at the moment he didn't seem to have eyes at all, only hearing a "ding dong" sound from his body, and a paragraph "broke into" his mind:

Error: No vision signal

He has been working in the institute for a long time, and he naturally knows the meaning of this passage, which always appears when the computer is not connected to the monitor or projector, simply put, it is as if a person has become blind and the brain cannot receive visual signals.

What does this mean? I'm dreaming again? Became the "me" in the computer again? To be honest, he still hasn't figured out the situation, but he can only be sure that this may not be a dream, as for him now, whether he is a human Drew, or a Dre in a computer, such a complex man-machine problem is probably only understood by his little brother who specializes in computer science. I'll have to ask him to figure it out for me next time I call.

So, I'm a computer now.

Despite some mental preparation, Dérse still felt quite unwell. When a person suspects that he is an alien, he will have panic, nausea and other rejection reactions, for a social animal like humans, it is better to believe that he is possessed by a monster, modified by the human body, has a strange disease, is cursed, and never admits that he is a "monster" itself.

It took him a long time to come to terms with his current situation, and although there were still many uncertain conditions, he was indeed a computer now. Well, what do I do if I'm a computer? Unfortunately, although Diaverum has nearly 30 years of experience, he has almost zero experience in making computers.

First of all, the lack of the five senses is so painful that you can't hear, you can't see, you can't speak, you can only think, it's like a prisoner.

He thought, maybe I shouldn't control the computer with a person's mind, and maybe it's better for the computer to operate with an AI way of thinking?

Imagine that I am a program, my mind is code, and my body is composed of circuits, switches between "0" and "1...... Thinking like this, Dre felt as if something had changed in the empty world, like the stars in the night sky, something began to open, one close, and the speed of this combination continued to increase, as if something in his body was already stirring, and the world began to reappear before his eyes.

He continued to think: My bones are metal, my veins are wires, and what flows through them is a rushing current.

As if the engine was starting, there was a trance in my ears "Boom! Boom! Boom! Then Dre was a spirit, as if he had regained his body. He "woke up"!

In front of me is a snow-white ceiling and curtains, as if it were a laboratory infirmary. There were two people in white coats standing nearby, a man and a woman, the woman should be a doctor, he had seen it during the physical examination, the man was a little older, he had not seen it, a familiar room and a strange person.

Executor: AI wake-up.

Familiar sensations, sounds coming from the body. To be honest, Dre is not used to this feeling, and as a human being, it's disgusting to have someone coming out of your body. But he was on his guard for now, and didn't dare to think about it, because he was now a computer, and computers had no secrets to humans - who knows if his ideas would be read by a program and put on a display screen for people to "see"?

He decided to remain silent and just do so, pretending to be an AI who had just woken up, while the monitor secretly began to observe the rest of the room.

What's on the right? On the right is a body lying on the bed, and at first glance, isn't this me? That is to say, Fontaine snatched back the experimental brain? In any case, you have to hide your identity first, and you must not let them discover your "AI". They actually retain the memories of people, and when the time comes, maybe they will do some new human experiments for themselves. Thinking of these, he quietly kept an eye on it, and used the computer's own positioning system to send a location to his younger brother, if he disappeared, I hope he can find clues with this.

The old man began to type:

What's your name?

What is this called a problem? Dre "frowned", instinctively thinking that this was a trap, and replied:

My name is Lender.

Seeing the words on the screen, the old man just smiled, and then suddenly spoke: "Let's talk openly and honestly, Drew." I know you understand. If you have anything you want to say, you can just say it with your mouth. ”

The surprise of hearing the voice made Dre forget to disguise it for a moment: "How can I hear the voice?" What did you do? ”

"Simple things, our words, will be transmitted into the computer through the microphone, and what you want to say will be synthesized through the mixer, and then emitted through the speakers."

The principle of this computer is indeed simple, but the problem is that there has never been a computer that has a human "brain", for the computer, sound is just a bunch of electronic signals composed of 0 and 1, and does not have any meaning, only AI can directly process sound signals and make judgments. However, the AI only converts the speech into text according to the pre-set voice samples, and then finds the paired answer template, does the AI itself really have "hearing"?

Dre thought and asked.

The old man was unexpectedly generous, just like an ordinary scientist who likes popular science, and explained it to him:

"Why not? Our current AI has been able to convert speech into words, can judge who said a sentence by comparing sound samples, understand the specific meaning of a sentence through online search, and even judge whether a song is good or not through a certain rhythm standard. At present, more than half of the songs on the world's hottest music chart are sung by virtual singers, and one-third are arranged and written by AI. So, what do you think is the difference between the human hearing system and the human listening system? They even have better 'hearing' than most humans. ”

Dre was silent, but the old man didn't care, so he continued to express his feelings:

"I've always felt that the people who created computers in the first place must have had high hopes for it. People are using the human brain as a template to create computers in the way of creating life, so they have CPUs with thinking and computing power, hard disks and memory for reading and writing memory, and we even add 'eyes' to them to see the world through cameras, 'ears' to collect sound signals through microphones, and 'mouths' to make various sounds through speakers. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dream of people to get a glimpse into the secrets of creation. ”

"But for a hundred years, the computer was just a machine, a tool, and although it was faster than everyone else and had replaced many traditional jobs, no one would really treat the computer as a human being. Because the computer is always controlled by a person, he can only operate according to the set program, and does not have autonomy and spontaneity. At the end of the day, computers don't have a soul. ”

Speaking of this, the look on his face became solemn and reverent:

"And I think AI is the soul that we give to computers. A soul that can actively collect information, have the ability to learn, can think independently, make judgments, and even create based on the experience learned. And even if it is like this, it is still not enough, it still will not be regarded as a 'life', what is it so far from a 'living' creation? ”

Speaking of which, even Diaverum has the answer, which is also the concept he has been exposed to at the Fontaine Institute:

It's emotion. What AI lacks from becoming a real life is only 'emotion'.

But why are emotions so important and indispensable to a life?

To be honest, Dre thought this was too nerve-wracking, so he didn't bother to think about it, and only asked the old man a question: "I understand everything, but what does this have to do with me?" I just want to know, I'm on the computer, how do you think I'm Diaverum and not the AI you copied? Where did I show my feet? ”

The old man laughed again: "Because the name is wrong, the identification number of this computer is not Lender, it is called Adam, our main control computer. To be honest, we haven't gotten Lender back yet. ”
