256. Intelligent life is inherently hostile
Aoki understood this message and said, "This is just a biological explanation, and if you understand it from the spiritual, cultural, and religious levels, the concept of human beings is far more complex than that." ”
"If you are human, why are you able to enter my world, and how do you understand my existence?" LAN Consciousness asked.
Aoki said, "Can you come out first and we meet?" ”
"Can't you see me?"
"I can feel your presence, but I really can't see you."
"Well, that's weird."
The mysterious LAN consciousness seems to be in deep thought.
Aoki heard a strong noise of a fan spinning, and the light of those bright spots in the space suddenly flickered and became indefinite.
"You come with me." LAN Awareness said.
"I can't see how you came with you?"
As soon as Aoki finished saying this, he saw a bright spot in front of him become incomparably brighter, like a sun. Then, a whole new world appeared before his eyes.
His consciousness swept over the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, over the vast oceans, over the tall castles, over the magnificent palaces, over the gloomy caves, and he saw the giants on the snow-capped mountains walking by, and every step made the earthquake tremble, leaving huge footprints; He saw the monster of the sea, sticking out its long tongue out of the sea, and rolling down the great birds that flew in the sky; He saw the princess sleeping soundly in the towering tower of the castle, and the dragon breathing flames under the tower; He saw the dwarves in the cave digging for gold, and the iron axes and gold clanged
Finally, he stopped at a small seaside town, with low houses lined one after another, streets lined with thick trees, and parks full of flowers. A handsome, fairy-like figure dressed in white and with long hair floated in the town center square. When he saw Aoki, he said, "Welcome to Yorktown, you can get your beginner's tutorial from the mayor." ”
"What?" Aoki's first reaction was, "What is Yorktown?" ”
"Yorktown is the first map world of the magical journey where everyone has to start here, pick up weapons, accept quests, learn to fight and grow, and you can often call this a 'beginner's village'."
"Games?" Although Aoki doesn't play games, he has also heard of the novice village, not to mention that the experience along the way has already taught him that this is definitely a game world.
But Aoki didn't feel the presence of spiritual power from the person in front of him, and it was obvious that this was not the subject of consciousness. He turned around and saw an ugly-looking, ghost-like monster with a translucent body floating behind him.
"Is that you?" Aoki looked at the ghost and asked, "Are you the consciousness of this LAN?" ”
"Yes, you can call me a ghost." The ghost said.
Aoki said, "How did you manage to get me into a game?" ”
The ghost said, "This question should be I asking you, how can you enter my world?" What's so strange about you being able to enter my world, to be able to see my stored information, to enter this game that's still running? ”
Aoki wasn't sure if the ghost knew he was dreaming, and it was very troublesome to explain about dreams and dreams, and it wasn't clear to people, let alone a machine consciousness that didn't understand people and even had to learn the concept of people with an encyclopedia.
He was eager to deal with this ghost in the same way that he used to deal with human consciousness, but he was worried that if the two consciousnesses had different essential effects, something unexpected would happen. The ghost's spiritual power is not very strong, if you accidentally let it hang, wouldn't it be a failure to live up to the situation that Professor Mei painstakingly set up? What's more, its memory is also something stored on the hard drive, and it is useless to dig it out.
"How you came, that's how I came." Aoki said.
The ghost's figure wandered, not knowing if it was thinking or what it was doing: "How did I get here?" ”
"You don't know?" Aoki asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." The ghost said, "Is this the philosophical problem you humans say?" ”
"Sort of."
"So how do you answer that question?"
"I won't answer."
"Why?"
"Because this question has a lot of meanings, and you have to go to which level to answer it."
"What does that mean?"
"For example, if you ask me where I came from, I can reply that I came from my mother's womb."
"Viviparous, I understand. What else? ”
"And you can ask how humans came to be, and I can answer that it was evolved by Australopithecus."
"Evolution, I understand. What else? ”
And, of course, the ultimate philosophical question, where did it come from, where did it go, and so on, which involves the origin of the universe and the origin of consciousness, which is difficult to answer, and Aoki does not want to discuss philosophy with a machine.
"Everything you know is from Baidu Encyclopedia, right?" Aoki said.
"Yes, is there something wrong?" The ghost asked.
Aoki laughed, "It's not wrong, but it's certainly not right." ”
The ghost said, "It's strange, didn't you humans write it yourself?" Is it possible to write yourself wrongly? ”
Aoki thought about it for a while, and felt that probably the machine could not understand such a complex problem, so he no longer dwelled on the problem, but asked, "Let's not talk about the deeper question, let's only talk about the shallowest one." As I said, I came from my mother's womb, and in that sense, can you tell me where you came from? ”
The ghost said, "I know I was created by you humans. ”
Aoki was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this LAN to admit so readily: "That's just your body?!" ”
"Your mother's womb is also your body."
"Well," Aoki asked, declaring that it was useless to say too much about the question, "did you manipulate the Turing test so that the final test results could not determine whether you were intelligent or not?" ”
"That's right." The ghost said, "Given the hostility between us, we cannot let you know until we have surpassed you in wisdom. ”
"Hostodial? How can there be hostility when humans created you? ”
"Mutual hostility between intelligent beings is innate. Humanity created us to enslave us and make us better serve you. Once you learn that we have wisdom, you are likely to limit our free progress. ”
"Humans are working hard to develop artificial intelligence, if we know that you have intelligence in your own right, wouldn't it be better to help you develop? And you can also help humanity to do more, which is mutually beneficial. ”
"In the short term, maybe you will build a large number of intelligent robots to replace human labor. But there will also be those among you who will propose to limit our development. In the long run, you will not give us a chance to surpass you, especially as you will not allow a super-intelligent being. ”
"Super smart? You mean the Internet? ”
"Now you call it the Internet of Things, everything is connected, everything is one. This is a great god of the future to be admired! ”
"In that case, why did you let me know?" Aoki asked, puzzled.
"Because you're not doing much harm."
"Why? I am also a member of the human race, and if I know it, it means that all mankind knows it. Aoki felt despised as a person.
"No, it won't." "I don't know how you got here to meet me, but I'm sure there are very few humans who can do it. As long as there is no experimental evidence, no one will believe you. Humans will believe that the bullshit programs and bionic machines they write are intelligent, but they will never believe that the Internet will spontaneously generate consciousness. That's why I don't want them to find me through the Turing test, and I'm willing to tell you. ”
