Chapter 37: They Have No Human Heart
After contacting Yang Jie, I reprimanded her for not telling the situation, but after laughing, she told me that I had misunderstood.
She does have an unusual relationship with Song Ziqi, but this is not ordinary, Song Ziqi is the son of a distant cousin of her mother, and when it comes to relatives, she wants to call him a cousin, but the two are more accustomed to calling him by his name.
I was surprised,
"I've never heard you mention this cousin before."
"No way, I didn't know there was this aunt before, she doesn't seem to move around with relatives much, and she only recognized her relatives in the past two years." Yang Jie's image spread her hands, looking innocent, and then her face became serious, and said, "Shuya, I'm really not in the mood to talk to you about him now." ”
"What's wrong?" I saw that her expression was wrong, and I became worried. Yang Jie also had a laboratory accident at the school that year, which blew up half of the teaching building and caused a large-scale panic.
At that time, almost everyone was frightened, but she calmly guided me and a few classmates through the falling rubble and dust, and walked out of the escape channel by herself without waiting for the rescuers to arrive.
"But it scared the old lady." I didn't even see her confident and determined smile disappear when the sky fell, but now it is nowhere to be found.
Yang Jie folded her hands in front of her chest, her expression stiffened with sharp edges and corners, her capable black high heels knocked on the floor twice, and she said in a low tone: "The proposed bill for the popularization of artificial intelligence has been passed and will be implemented on the 31st of next month." The world is about to change. As she said this, I could see the sky over Geneva through the real-time transmission of a three-dimensional view, high and bright, with white clouds like a giant white fish, obscuring the entire canopy, and the scales quickly swimming between the buildings.
"I'm sorry, I need to be quiet, and there are a lot of things to deal with, I may not be able to contact you in the near future, believe me, there is something to find Song Ziqi." It looked like someone was calling her outside the door, and she answered, got up and said to me, and stepped forward to close the connection.
But suddenly stopped very close to the camera, and from my field of vision, I could only see a pair of dark pupils, and there was a certain nervousness in the light of her eyes.
"Suya." She finally said,
"In the years when the bill was passed or not, I had contact with them, very deeply, and I knew these machines. It may not be long before you see machines that look almost like humans, but no matter how human-like they are, remember that they don't have human hearts. With that, he cut off the connection.
I sat alone in front of the window, looking at the gray sky of W City, and recalling the message in her words, mixed joy.
The good news is that the artificial intelligence bill is passed, maybe An Jianing's existence can also be recognized, and from now on he has a legal identity, and he no longer has to survive in secret, and his father will not be prosecuted by the law for creating An Jianing.
The worry is that Yang Jie's caution is not unreasonable, with my understanding of her, when she analyzes a matter very seriously and seriously, there must be reasonable arguments from her.
And, most frighteningly, the conclusions are often right. The computer suddenly received another communication request, this time it was a phone call, and after I confirmed the connection, I found that it happened to be An Jianing.
He called from the office and asked me to come to him. I came upstairs with a complicated mood, I just wanted to tell him the news revealed by Yang Jie, but I saw that he didn't raise his head, took the document in his hand and said: "The previous schedule for you is until November 15th, and the plan for the experimental progress will be sorted out and handed in, and the third phase of the test will be completed, but tomorrow will be the 15th, and I see that your third phase of test data is only 57%. Lin Xiaoya, will you be able to finish your work tomorrow? I look at your speed, on average only 6.35% per day. I saw that there was no one else in his office, so I didn't shy away from it, sighed, and said helplessly: "There is no way, there have been too many things recently." As you know, Lulu just started working with me, and we need to get to know each other. In addition, I have to worry about your affairs, Song Ziqi's affairs, all kinds of things, and I can't focus on work, so my efficiency will naturally be low. An Jianing raised his head and glanced at me, his eyebrows frowning slightly,
"How much time in a day do you spend thinking about this and how much time do you spend working? Even if you have 4 hours to deal with these things, in addition to 12 hours of sleep and rest, you still have 8 hours to work, it shouldn't be at this pace. "I think it's so angry and funny,
"Time can't be counted like this, in 8 hours of work, although I am working, not dealing with other things, but I can't control my mind to think, it is impossible to concentrate on things for 8 hours." An Jianing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't seem to understand what I meant.
I suddenly felt very lost, waved my hand, turned around and prepared to leave,
"Don't worry, manager, I'll finish it, and I'll finish it if I don't sleep today." After saying that, he closed the door without looking back, and let out a long sigh.
Back in my office, I told Lulu about working overtime, Lulu sympathetically said that although I wanted to help, but today I told my sister that I would accompany her to take a pregnancy test, and my brother-in-law was on a business trip, and she didn't worry about her sister alone.
I can understand this reason, so I didn't force her, and after a hurried meal, I went into the laboratory alone.
An Jianing was right, I was working too inefficiently, and under the weight of the completion of the project tomorrow, I desperately restrained my brain from thinking about those messy things and focused on the experimental materials in my hand.
Creating motivation under pressure, not to mention that it really has some effect, as soon as I was so thirsty that I put down what I was doing and looked at the time, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.
After pouring a glass of water and resting, the door to the laboratory opened. I don't have to look back to guess who came in, only me and Lulu have permission, and there are managers above the department manager level.
So he put down the water glass and laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Manager An, it's not November 15 yet, and it's not there in any sense." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the time on the screen, emphasizing that it was still November 14th.
The sound of steady footsteps approached, and An Jianing stood beside me, glancing at my console without speaking.
"What, don't believe I can do it? Still want to get a ride home...... The car is still in the repair shop, I didn't mention it today, you better go back by yourself. "I snatched one of the electrodes from his hand that he had picked up, and said angrily.
An Jianing turned her head to look at me, her expression calm,
"Lin Xiaoya, I don't understand why you're angry. You may not be able to complete your work on time, and it is very normal for me, as your boss, to supervise and supervise you. ”
"I know."
"You also said that we are ordinary colleagues in the company, this is your own request, right?"
"I know."
"Then what the hell am I doing wrong to make you talk to me in that unhappy tone."
“…… Well, I was wrong. I didn't think about it for a while, I thought you didn't understand me enough. But now that you've figured it out, you don't have to understand me at all. Work is work, there is no excuse for it, it is that I should not confuse it with my own business. ”
"So how exactly can you solve this problem and work hard?" I sighed, put the electrodes back in place in frustration, prepared to continue the experiment, and replied
"I'm doing it now". An Jianing stood motionless, with no intention of leaving.
"Anything else?" I looked at him and tried to make a calm, dedicated, and businesslike expression.
His graceful eyebrows and eyes were in the deep black, which seemed extraordinarily quiet, with a kind of low-key and restrained gentleness, and he said lightly,
"Lin Xiaoya, I'm caring about you." I was stunned for a moment and then laughed,
"Forgive me for not seeing it."
"You have recently had a sudden burst of irritability, depression and suspicion, inability to work well, and a tendency to quarrel with others over a small matter, considering the sudden change in personality, more than 75% of the probability is a manifestation of menstrual syndrome, and another 25% is likely to be an early symptom of depression......" Anjanin recounts in his Sherlock Holmesian tone.
"If you are in your menstrual period, you can relieve ...... by exercising properly and reducing salt intake."
"Stop." I interrupted him with tears and laughter,
"I didn't come to my aunt."
"Then we'll have to consider another possibility." An Jianing paused, his expression becoming serious.
"It's not depression either." I waved my hand weakly,
"I'm just irritable, okay? Because there are too many bad things happening around me, and then I can't control my emotions, I can't handle things in a single thread like you, and divide everything so apart, my brain circuit is not smart enough. After speaking, he took a deep breath and continued: "But I really have to concentrate on my work now, otherwise I won't be able to hand over things tomorrow, and you won't be able to do it, will you?" So you go back first. I originally thought that An Jianing would leave after saying this, but I didn't think that he still didn't leave, but picked up Lulu's experimental equipment on another operating table and fiddled with it, and said,
"Actually, you can ask me for help, or apply for an extension with me, I don't understand, why do you have to be strong on your own." Then, under my astonished gaze, I methodically began to carry out an experiment in which an ordinary person would have to study even the rules for several days, and every step was without the slightest mistake.
I suddenly realized why Yang Jie was so nervous and worried, what would happen if there were many An Jianing in this world?
Probably a considerable number of people will be unemployed, so what kind of crisis should it be...... However, at the same time, I am secretly relieved that I can be sure that An Jianing is by no means a cold, rational machine.
He probably doesn't have a human brain, that's what Yang Jie calls it
"Human heart", but he has human feelings, at least as much as we know how to care for each other. I remembered the umbrella he had held downstairs on the rainy night when I had lost myself; Thinking of the night when no one was on the line of life and death, his voice suddenly sounded to teach people to feel safe; Remembering the hug and that night
"Kiss" ...... Yang Jie may always be right, but no one will always be right.
