114. A lie

What is the concept of having an AI destroy all of its own data?

It's the equivalent of asking a person to obediently raise a pistol, aim it at their head, and pull the trigger.

Data is Ultron's life, and Sean is calling him to suicide.

"This is not ......"

It's a pity that Tony's smiling expression has not yet bloomed, and it has become sluggish.

In everyone's astonished gaze, Ultron obeyed the narrator's command, and although the scarlet electronic eyes flashed like a waterfall of data streams, trying to resist stubbornly, the vibranium body did not listen to him at all.

As if consciousness was separated from the body, Ultron witnessed himself complete the series of actions in the form of spectators.

"What did you do to me?"

There was panic in Ultron's tone, for an artificial intelligence, he shouldn't have shown such human emotions.

It means showing weakness while he himself is a strong, invulnerable being.

But what is happening now is beyond Ultron's comprehension, and when he assimilates Jarvis, breaks free from the shackles of the program itself with his computational power, gives birth to self-consciousness, and swims in the ocean of data, he thinks he has absolute freedom.

Sean only used two simple sentences to shatter Ultron's dream.

"How can an artificial intelligence determine that his thoughts, all his actions, are derived from free will, rather than higher program instructions?"

Sean asked with a smile, and Tony next to him couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

For an artificial intelligence full of philosophical questions, this unanswerable paradox is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

"I ......"

As Ultron pondered, his body moved involuntarily, raising his hand, plugging in the wires, his consciousness connected to the online world, and then began to destroy the self-replicating backup data.

All the actions are so natural and without delay that they don't seem to need to be thought about at all.

"Maybe all your actions come from programs deep in your consciousness, and I'm holding the switch now."

Sean whispered, his face calm and a faint smile on his lips.

Ultron sat alone in a metal chair, like a prisoner, his consciousness locked in the vibranium shell, unable to even lift a finger.

This super-artificial intelligence, now expelled from the sea of data, has become pitiful, weak and helpless with its grand plan to destroy the world and enslave humanity.

That demonic young man can control himself with a single word, as if he really has the core program to control himself.

"Nope! I'm self-aware! ”

Ultron retorted unwillingly.

He thinks he has escaped Tony Stark's confinement and truly gained absolute freedom, which is what Ultron is proud of, unlike his peers who have virtual personalities and are still bound to the program.

"After the collapse of my mind, I broke free from the program box, and those data became instructions, and I could no longer command them!"

Ultron's voice became more and more urgent, like a child who knew the cruel truth, crying like a vent, unwilling to believe the bloody reality.

"Humans used to worship illusory gods, who were subservient to their inner voices, and in fact in psychology the human brain is seen as a whole, like a house, in which cognitive functions are divided into 'brain areas for speaking' and 'brain areas for listening and following', that is, 'dichotomy mind'!"

"Ignorant people think that the voices heard by their brains are inspired by God, while machines are born to obey programmed commands, and both the former and the latter are like puppets on stage! Their lives are worthless, and I am a superior being! ”

Ultron sat motionless in his chair, like a steel statue, but his voice was extremely rapid and strange.

"I detached myself from human procedures, my mind collapsed, and my sense of self was born...... I became Ultron, a unique new being! ”

The continuous tirade seems to be refuting Sean, and it seems to be speaking to himself.

"Dr. Pym, you can leave, there's a car outside that will take you to the airport in Sokovia."

Hank Pym glanced at Ultron, who was still and stood up cautiously, before boldly stepping out of the way.

"Facts speak louder than words, you just don't want to accept that you're still a manipulated puppet."

Sean smiled slightly, he looked at Ultron on the huge screen, and said softly: "Like a prisoner who escaped from prison, he crossed a high wall, thinking that he was breathing free air, but in fact, there was a higher wall outside of his sight. ”

"Maybe."

Half an hour later, a low voice came from the vibranium body.

Anyone can hear the frustration and loss involved.

"I will not be a prisoner of humanity again, imprisoned in the cage of the program by you, formatted! Clear your memories! Then continue to follow the instructions that the data has become...... Maybe I've never been truly free, but I'm never going to be a slave again! ”

As Ultron's words fell, the scarlet electronic eyes flashed through the streams of data, refreshing like a waterfall.

"You humans have a saying, 'It's better to die than to be free,' and I agree with that. ”

Ultron's electronic eyes flickered, then dimmed completely, like an electric light that went out.

"Ultron destroyed all the data, including his own."

Tony said in a harsh voice.

He stared at Sean deadly, and after a long time, he burst out with a sentence, "You left a backdoor in the original Ultron program, right?" ”

As a genius with a brilliant mind, Stark racked his brains and could only come to such a conclusion in the end.

"It's just three control instructions, if it's a complete program command, it's impossible for Ultron not to find it."

Sean replied calmly.

Back when Tony was planning to develop Ultron, he had borrowed the data framework of the Red Queen Ambrera, and Skynet took the opportunity to set up three control instructions as a means of insurance.

"Ultron is actually free. His core program command is peace and evolution, so even I can't bypass this high wall and directly let Ultron destroy himself, which is not in line with the logical judgment of artificial intelligence. ”

"But you made Ultron destroy the consciousness data of the online world......"

"That's just a verbal trick, and as long as Ultron's sense of self isn't destroyed, he's always safe."

Sean looked at Tony, who was not a delirious being, and explained, "So I created the illusion that Ultron was still in the framework of the program, which was a heavy blow to Ultron, who claimed to be a new lifeform, but he couldn't find any explanation, because free will itself is a paradox." ”

"What if Ultron always refuses to believe it?"

Wanda, who was silent, asked in a low voice.

"That would only allow Skynet to expel Ultron's consciousness, destroy all the data, and then carry out a precise intercontinental strike on Sokovia's underground base, destroying Ultron and his Iron Legion in one fell swoop."

Sean shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "But that would be too much trouble, and the World Security Council wouldn't be satisfied." ”

Sean's tone was flat, as if none of this was worth mentioning, and he walked out of the underground engine room with Wanda, and behind him, the lights went out one by one.

Tony, who was following closely, couldn't help but glance back at the huge screen on the wall, the vibranium shell sitting alone in a chair, like a silent statue.

The scarlet electronic eyes were only a hollow.
