Chapter 3, Talking about the Future, April 2117.
April 2117.
A day later, Zhang Weining was invited to Chen Guangbiao's banquet. He put his 8th grade notebook back in the bookcase, went out, and took a taxi.
In this taxi, the driver was actually sleeping. Zhang Weining woke him up: "Hey, master, I said, I've already gotten in the car, you better drive it manually." ”
What Zhang Weining didn't think about was that the driver actually said: "I won't charge you for this trip, you drive it yourself, I stayed up late last night and want to sleep for a while." ”
Zhang Weining was really angry, but because the taxis that were not easy to summon nearby, and he was about to be late for the banquet, he could only agree to the driver's method: the driver slept in the back seat, and Zhang Weining drove in front - in fact, the haze in TJ City in April was still very heavy, and this haze was not the same thing as the smog of a few decades ago - after global warming, the global temperature zone increased, the mobility of the atmosphere was very poor, and many times, the smog would not dissipate in summer.
"Autopilot!" Zhang Weining found that the manual operation of this model is not very convenient, and simply enabled automatic driving, anyway, this car, using a relatively high-end Beidou navigation, should have no problem. Twenty minutes later, Zhang Weining came to Chen Guangbiao's high-end club. When he got out of the car, Zhang Weining still paid by card, he looked at the taxi driver who was asleep, smiled wryly and shook his head, (I really don't know, these years, is the person driving, or the car is driving).
Zhang Weining looked at the taxi in the distance, thoughtful - the car's artificial intelligence system had already received another order, carrying the sleeping driver and disappearing into the traffic.
"Ah, Professor Zhang, welcome, welcome ......" Chen Guangbiao personally greeted Zhang Weining at the door, "How do you ......" Chen Guangbiao saw Zhang Weining staring at the taxi, "Did you leave something on the car?" ”
"No, no." Zhang Weining waved his hand. "The taxi is equipped with a relatively high-end 3D navigation system of my xchang chamber of commerce." "Well, I also saw it just now, the autopilot ability is very strong, and the driver is actually sleeping in the car." Zhang Weining was talking to Chen Guangbiao when another one appeared.
"Yo, Dr. Jingtao, it's been a long time...... it's been a long time" Tang Jingtao came.
……
Chen Guangbiao knows that in the eyes of most people, people like doctors and professors are nerds with glasses thicker than cutting boards, and they only know how to read at home...... In fact, no matter what era it is, major scientific and technological projects must be completed by experts from all walks of life, just like Chen Guangbiao's brain replacement surgery.
It's not just business people who need to expand their network – Chen Guangbiao is confident that these people are not otaku, and he can invite these "bigwigs" of science to his party.
However, Chen Guangbiao also knows that people in the scientific community, unlike people in the business world, are relatively high-minded and do not drink well. What are they good about? Chen Guangbiao has studied, these people, if nothing else is good, they are easy to quarrel, for some dog P theory that no one understands, two people can quarrel all day.
(I don't know what they were arguing about today.) Chen Guangbiao thought that at this time, he had already sat down on the piano seat and began to play a soothing piano piece "Green Path" for everyone (if you want to be noisy, you should also be noisy in peaceful music). )
Zhang Weining and Tang Jingtao were discussing some topics, and there were also some other scientists present, Chen Guangbiao found that, as he expected, these people did not seem to be very tactful, each with their own personality, they liked to argue, but they did not seem to hurt the peace.
In view of the eloquence of people in the scientific community, Chen Guangbiao specially set up a speech coffee table for these "experts", so that everyone can better express their views. In this way, everyone will not rush to speak, and everyone will have a fair time to speak.
(An academic debate coffee table) Chen Guangbiao thought with a smile.
Chen Guangbiao believes that with the academic debate coffee table, more scientists will be willing to come to his club in the future, and he can also take the opportunity to expand a wider network. Thinking of this, the melody of the piano music between Chen Guangbiao's fingers gradually became cheerful.
Tang Jingtao and Zhang Weining opened a separate coffee table, No. 12 coffee table, Chen Guangbiao glanced at the two of them between playing, (it seems that the two experts are going to debate something...... These people seem to be like children) Chen Guangbiao smiled secretly in his heart.
"Hello, two experts." 12 The coffee table was displayed on the table of the coffee table, "Now, I will begin to provide you with a topic for debate. ”
"Mr. Chen is really ingenious." Zhang Weining said to Tang Jingtao, in fact, he felt that this coffee table was really boring, if the party could end earlier, he could continue to study the new virus discovered yesterday in the laboratory.
"The artificial intelligence of the coffee table is provided by our company Feiyun." Tang Jingtao said a little secretly and proudly, "It sells well in the market." ”
"Mr. Zhang Weining's point of view is that in the future society, human beings will become like ants performing their own duties, human beings will also have great changes in appearance, genetic engineering will change many things, and the most advanced machines are no longer made of steel and electronic systems, but living organisms, and even houses will become living organisms." Coffee table No. 12 said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Weining smiled at Tang Jingtao and said, "This, is the topic provided to me by artificial intelligence?" ”
"Yes." Tang Jingtao said, "The AI of the coffee table knows that you are a medical biology major, so it tailors this topic for you. ”
"Not bad," Mr. Zhang said, "not too boring." He glanced at Chen Guangbiao not far away, (Mr. Chen, is this the sequelae after the brain change or what's going on?) )
"Are Dr. Shockwaves sure this coffee table is selling well in the market?" Zhang Weining asked Tang Jingtao.
"The sales are really good, and they sell much better than the automatic mahjong machine." Tang Jingtao said confidently.
(Oh!) Zhang Weining was taken aback, when it comes to mahjong machines, he understands, an old man around 50 years old, troublesome, he still plays a dozen from time to time.
"Then can I ask this coffee table a few questions?" Zhang Weining asked Tang Jingtao.
"Of course, Professor Zhang, you must trust our company's AI," Tang Jingtao said, "I dare to say, smarter than the AI products you have used before." ”
(This old man Donald is not small.) Zhang Weining thought.
"Coffee table, what's your name?" Zhang Weining said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang Weining's point of view is that in the future society, human beings will become like ants performing their own duties, human beings will also have great changes in appearance, genetic engineering will change many things, and the most advanced machines are no longer made of steel and electronic systems, but living organisms, and even houses will become living organisms." Coffee table 12 repeated, "The name of the coffee table does not support the topic, and your first speech did not score." ”
"Huo, look at it." Zhang Weining pointed to the coffee table and said to Tang Jingtao, "It's really not my fool." ”
"Mr. Zhang Weining, do you have any additions?" The coffee table asked.
"How much does this thing cost for?" Zhang Weining ignored the question on the coffee table.
"It's cheap, it's just more than 2,000 yuan of C." Tang Jingtao said, "It's a little more expensive to sell abroad." ”
"There is no direct correlation between the price of the coffee table and the name of the coffee table, and Mr. Zhang Weining's supplement still has not been able to score." The No. 12 coffee table said very seriously, "The following is Dr. Tang Jingtao's thesis: in the future, carbon-based organisms will no longer be the carrier of intelligent human life, artificial intelligence robots will replace humans, and a simpler and more efficient society will appear, and everything will be machines, not living things." ”
"No, this is all about artificial intelligence, and it's a topic for you." Zhang Weining said to Tang Jingtao.
Tang Jingtao nodded and smiled.
"I said Old Tang," Zhang Weining also smiled, "The topic assigned to us by this machine will not cause conflicts between the two of us, there is always a little bit of a feeling of being sowing discord, how do you want to answer it?" ”
"You've got it." Tang Jingtao said, "That's the case, this kind of all-robot society doesn't need food, so agriculture doesn't need it." Everyone is mechanical, drinking gasoline every day, and each of them lives to be 100 years old, 1000 years old, until the day of the destruction of Tran. ”
As soon as Tang Jingtao's words fell, he was caught by the No. 12 coffee table: "In Dr. Tang Jingtao's speech, there is a major logical error, with the current rate of oil consumption, the robot that uses oil cannot move the day of the destruction of Tran Star, because there is not enough oil." Dr. Tang Jingtao cannot score. ”
"The thinking of this tea table is quite rigorous." Zhang Weining said with a smile, he laughed because he was interested in the topic of debate, but he became more and more interested in this coffee table, "This little thing, there will be no self-awareness!" Zhang Weining said to Tang Jingtao with some concern.
"We just try to make the people around us feel like it's assertive, not the kind of AI that you ask and it answers." Tang Jingtao said, "Unlike some mentally handicapped products on the market now, they can only be played by children. ”
Just when Tang Jingtao and Zhang Weining were chatting about the development status of artificial intelligence, a sentence suddenly interjected on the coffee table: "The two gentlemen are not serious at all, and they ignore the topic raised on the 12th, and now both of them have zero points." ”
"It also sells cute, little things." Zhang Weining said.
"Doctor, your phone is ringing." Coffee table 12 said suddenly.
"Yo, it's still going to deceive people, isn't it." Zhang Weining guessed, looked at the coffee table, and then looked at Tang Jingtao, "It can't be something you want to play, a little trick like 'you have lost your money', let's bring the two of us back to its topic." ”
At this time, Tang Jingtao touched his mobile phone, and it was really vibrating.
"I didn't lie to you." The coffee table said a little "angry".
"Okay, you're good." Zhang Weining praised the coffee table and said.
"Lao Zhang, I'll answer the phone," Tang Jingtao apologized to Zhang Weining: "It's a little noisy in this hall, I have to go to the bathroom, you can chat with the coffee table for a while." ”
(You talk to the coffee table for a while, how to listen to this, how awkward.) Tang Jingtao thought subconsciously. He came to the door of the bathroom, which was indeed quieter than the noisy reception hall.
"Doctor, please come back soon, another double has been stolen from our warehouse." Said on the other end of the phone.
"What? Another one? When did it happen? Tang Jingtao said anxiously.
