Many scientists have imagined that robots dream, and Dao Sing also claims to have developed intelligent robots that can dream and continue to learn in dreams. However, the research on robot dreaming is focused on the field of bionic humans, allowing machines to imitate human neural structures and thinking patterns, and their highest level is nothing more than creating a "human".

And if a network of several computers and servers has intelligence and consciousness, it is much more terrifying than a bionic robot that looks like a "human" has consciousness. If this guy could still dream, it would be even more incredible.

Human beings make machines like people, on the one hand, because they are emotionally easy to identify, and on the other hand, human beings themselves have a limited understanding of intelligence and can only imitate their own appearance.

How do you think about an excavator? How do you perceive the world? How do you dream?

According to our understanding, if the excavator can dream, what he sees in the dream must be such a scene:

Abandoned reinforced concrete was piled up like a hill, and a majestic excavator rolled its tracks, struggling to climb through the wasteland, its thick boom stretched forward, and its broad bucket was like a strong man's hand, shoveling up a thousand boulders. The scorching sun shone on its new and bright paint, reflecting a dazzling light.

A smaller excavator drove up, stretched over the slender boom, and a towel hung from the bucket to gently wipe the sweat from the body of the majestic excavator.

As the sun sets, two excavators hug each other on the ruins of dusk......

Such dreams may be beautiful and in line with human fantasies. If you think about it, you can know that excavators don't have such dreams. The excavator has no eyes, no nose, no ears, and it obtains information in a completely different way than humans. It doesn't see itself, at least what it knows itself is very different from what humans know it, so why does it dream like that?

The essence of dreaming is the subconscious rearrangement of memories. The content of human memory comes from the perception of the five senses, and understands the world through sound, color, taste, touch, and shape, and constitutes memory, so these things also appear in human dreams.

Aoki really couldn't think of how a LAN could dream, and what kind of rules its consciousness would construct in the dream space.

On this issue, Professor Mei also feels that his head is big.

He preliminarily analyzed that the webcam can be used as an eye, the microphone as an ear, these two ways of obtaining information are similar to humans, the keyboard and mouse are regarded as touch, incomplete, but the information obtained is much richer than the human sense of touch. The point is that the way computers process information is completely different from the human brain, and the perception of the world is very different.

Theoretically speaking, the things on the hard disk are its memories, but the presentation of these things on the display is only convenient for human cognition, not the understanding of the computer itself.

It's impossible to float past a ghost-like RD document and a jpg picture in a computer's dream!

"It's up to you to go in and take a look!" The professor ended up throwing the question to Aoki.

Aoki was willing to take a look, but that would have to wait for him to really dream, and there would have to be a way to get in. At present, this guy definitely doesn't emit any brain waves, biological waves or anything like that when he dreams, so what fluctuations will his consciousness have when it opens up another dimension? Computer waves?

Aoki could only wait. They walked out of the enclosed glass cubicle, and the nine computers in the room monitored the software and hardware operation data in the local area network, the screen kept flashing, and from time to time lines of incomprehensible code jumped out.

There is a large tiling screen on the wall, which can monitor the entire situation of the 3,000 test subjects in four buildings.

From the surveillance, it can be seen that the students who took the test were very serious, and after opening the sealed bag, they were there to meditate, probably thinking about what kind of questions to ask to test whether it was a human or a machine to answer the question.

Aoki couldn't see what the students were typing, and didn't know what they were asking. He also puts himself in the shoes of the tester, thinking about what kind of questions he should ask and how the computer will respond. Because he rarely uses voice assistants and chatbots and the like, it's completely unthinkable.

Of course, there are also some students who are very relaxed, such as a girl who uses her voice to interact with a chatbot called "Scratch" and puts on makeup there. There was also a girl with headphones and manicures, chatting with her voice, as if she were actually on the phone with a friend.

And on machine 357 in another building, a young man was still playing the game hard, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to test it.

"What kind of game is that?" Mei Yiqiu asked.

The monitor zooms in and you can see the gray tones and slightly old game art on the monitor, which can tell at a glance that this is a very old game.

Aoki and Mei Ziqing glanced at each other and shrugged at each other to indicate that they didn't know. Aoki really doesn't know anything about games, and Mei Ziqing has also played Minesweeper, Super Mario, and Minecraft.

A staff member sitting in front of a computer monitoring the data recognized it and said, "Professor, this is a very old single-player game called Forbidden Magic. But...... It seems a little strange. ”

"What's wrong?" The professor asked.

The staff said: "This game is a copy of his own, very big, I checked it, more than two T, but as far as I know, the magic forbidden land is enough for only a few G, even if the entire series plus the game progress copy is all packaged together, it will not exceed 50G." He installed the game on our server, and since the rules didn't restrict his actions on the LAN, we didn't stop him from cracking the server address and password. ”

Mei Ziqing said: "Do you want to remind him to complete the test first?" ”

"He's already opened the sealed bag, and...... He's testing it now. The staff member said, "There's an NP in the game that's kind of like a chatbot, and he's talking to this NP. We don't have any restrictions on how they can test and who they test to, so it's not against our testing rules that he asks questions to the NPCs in the game. ”

"Does he think this game is the smartest program in the world? If you don't think so, you're in violation. Mei Ziqing said.

"This game must have been modified, I didn't see this NP when I played it back then." Said the staff.

Mei Yiqiu said, "Find out his registration form and look at it." ”

The staff pulled up a form on the computer, only to see that it read:

Name: Bian Ziyuan

Gender: Male

Institution: Sanwu University

Major: Computer Science and Technology

Think the smartest software: alphag and Kronos

……

"What is Kronos?" Aoki had certainly heard of Alphag, but not of the latter.

"The primordial god of ancient Greece, the symbol of time, the creator of order." Mei Yiqiu explained simply, "Well, I don't think I've heard of the artificial intelligence named after it? ”

"Maybe that's the name he gave to the modified game."
