In Fan Qingshan's study, only Wang Xiao's sometimes agitated and sometimes depressed voice echoed:

So, when you make a certain decision, you feel that it is what I think, it is my subjective will, but most likely, it is the will of something that is God to us. For the promoters of major progress, the promoters of important historical processes, it is more likely to be influenced. After all, even a god is not so boring as to affect the details of what everyone wants to eat every day, and most likely, when he wants to turn our history, he will influence a few people to make the decisions he wants. ”

"When I realized that there might be a problem one day, I didn't think it made much sense for me to do anything until I thought about it. Because all the efforts, all the progress, all the deeds may not be mine, they are all imposed on me by others. Just like a certain character in a movie, if he is conscious, he speaks his own words, does his own things, feels his joys and sorrows, and endures his own pain, he thinks it is his own, but in fact, someone else has already filmed it and played it. ”

"If I'm a marionette controlled only by 'people', or if I'm a character in that movie, acting in a script that someone else has already written, then what's the point of me doing it?"

"But even if you don't feel that it makes sense, you can't do something without doing it, and that's the most distressing. At present, major companies, various institutions, and countries are trying their best to research artificial intelligence. Even if we don't push it, we have reached the verge of breakthroughs, at most 20 years, there will be many breakthroughs in the artificial intelligence race, and then, the acceleration of the development of artificial intelligence itself will surpass most human beings by thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times in a very short period of time. ”

"Then the question is, what is the use of you and me? What's the use of human beings? This problem has been predicted by many people, and there are many films, televisions, and literary works that show this problem. This is the second question that I often think about, what is technology for human beings? ”

"I actually have the answer to this question, but the key is how to do it."

"Some people say, I can connect to the computer, I can connect to the computer through artificial neural networks, let artificial intelligence assist us in thinking, we can only use artificial intelligence as a tool, don't you see our glasses are the earliest auxiliary tools? Aren't we using it very well, and aren't all kinds of wearable devices also using it very well? ”

"But is it the same thing? Just yesterday, when I rushed to save you, my speed was over 300 in the city. What is the concept of driving at a speed of more than 300 in urban areas where there are many cars, about 100 meters or even more than 100 meters per second. A person's line of sight can probably see about a kilometer on a suburban road, and that is only about ten seconds. On urban roads, there are trees, corners, and various obstacles, and the best line of sight is only two or three hundred meters, that is two or three seconds of time, if you expect an ordinary person to find a high-speed car approaching in two or three seconds and make a timely dodge, it is impossible, you expect a driver to look in the rearview mirror a second ago, no car, just turning, the next second to find that the car is coming, and then make avoidance, that is also impossible. ”

"So, Yelena, my auxiliary 'computer', every second, is sending countless thermal imaging data to me, and I have to monitor every movement of dozens, even hundreds, people at any time, is she going to step out of her left foot? Did he start to push from his shoulders, to turn, how hard he was pushing, was he going to turn or was he going to correct the direction a little bit? Did she unconsciously take a small step forward while waiting for the red light? It is necessary to combine all these things, even how much a person weighs, how far away from him, the air flow caused by this speed does not fatal to him, does not involve him in the car, and so on. All of this is combined to determine whether my speed is a little faster or slower, how much faster and how slow I can drive, so that my high-speed driving will not cause accidents and can drive smoothly. This kind of decision, this kind of thinking speed, can the average person be competent? And that's the data I need to make decisions knowing that only I'm going to be so fast, and if there are other cars that are going to drive at high speeds like mine, the amount of data will increase exponentially. ”

"I don't process this data, can I leave it to Yelena to deal with? Absolutely. Leaving it to Yelena is what those people call artificial intelligence assistance, which is what it means for them to develop artificial intelligence. And Yelena, she only collected the data for me, which is an auxiliary in the traditional sense. The difference is small, but it's a fatal one – deciding who makes it. Making decisions is the ultimate control, and it is the meaning of human existence compared to the artificial intelligence developed by humans. ”

"But as I said before, the average person can't handle it. The data is given to you, but you can't process it in a relative amount of time, that is, you can't make a decision, and that can only be decided by artificial intelligence. Then it goes back to the previous question, people's decisions are not as good as artificial intelligence, but not as fast as artificial intelligence, so is it all left to artificial intelligence? When all decisions are made by artificial intelligence, what's the use of you and me? What is the use of human beings? ”

"It's like a three-year-old child, and he asks a housekeeper to take care of everything, and all his resources, all his decisions, even including how he lives, what he eats, what he wears, what he does, and what he plays, are all allocated by the housekeeper and decided by the housekeeper, so what is the use of him? With him or not, is there a difference for the housekeeper? For him, if people want to treat him as a battery, he can only make a battery, and if people want to treat him as a toy, he can only become a toy. ”

"Now, everybody wants to try to turn humanity into that three-year-old child, what do you think I'm going to do now? Is it to stop it? Or push? Or smash it all? ”

Fan Qingshan just wanted to speak, but Wang Xiao stopped him again and said, "There is one last question, listen to me." ”

He continued: "Another question that I often think about is, are they worthy? ”

"You see all the ugliness and all the meanness that human beings have been showing all along. Although I am not a good person, I am a pragmatist, but I also hate these evils of human nature. ”

After all, a person's life is only a few decades, in the early days, it was forty or fifty years, and now it is seventy or eighty years. Evil will eventually pass away, and of course, good will also pass away. But if, if people basically don't have to die, they can live for a long, long time, then how can these evils be eliminated? Just like the one we discussed earlier, that Xie An, not only did he do evil, but the law could not judge his evil, and morality could not restrain his evil. For this class reunion, my classmate Wu Hongcheng showed that he had done something bad, and he had to bite back, so that everyone could believe him, and the victim even had nothing to say. The evil they show is what I hate, and what I want to get rid of. Of course, with the advancement of technology, these evils will be suppressed and will be more restricted, but they will never be eliminated, and they will also come up with many ways to continue to release their evil thoughts. So I often wonder, do they deserve it? But how do you tell who deserves and who doesn't? And how can one convincingly point out that he is not worthy of living in this world, that he does not deserve better medical treatment, and that he should die of his own free will? It can't be helped. Wang Xiao shook his head and repeated: "There is no way. ”

Fan Qingshan sighed: "What a worried worker!" You're doing the work of a repairman, and you're worried about the future and destiny of mankind. ”

After taking a sip of tea and pursing his lips, Fan Qingshan said, "For your first question, I think it's completely unfounded. I don't know where you got this strange idea, or what evidence you have for that possibility. If there is a possibility, it may not be true. And what I think, is what I think! Although it will be affected to a certain extent, isn't it all like this? Any person is under the influence and constraints of others, even if he is an emperor, he has to consider the thoughts of others, which is normal. ”

Wang Xiao felt that he didn't understand: "You don't understand, you have secretly changed my concept, what I am talking about is not the influence or restriction of others, but that in our own thoughts, if there is mixed with the ideas of a certain 'person', that is, other content is entered by others, and 'he' makes us feel that it is our own thoughts, if what I think and what I don't think are mixed together and cannot be distinguished, what should we do?" ”

Fan Qingshan asked: "Then it's all what you think, why do you want to distinguish it?" ”

didn't let Wang Xiao answer, and said: "Of course, sometimes, the decision we make in the end may have been mixed with many other things and is very different from what we thought at the beginning. But our decision was made to solve the problem of 'I want' or 'we wanted' at the beginning. Isn't that how we all come here? Isn't our history all created because of 'I think' and 'we want to'? ”

“……”

Fan Qingshan affirmed: "Will also needs to be compromised, there is never an absolute will. The most powerful monarchs also do not have an absolute will. ”

And again: "Even if, as you say, there is a God or God who created us at some point, then we exist now, and do nothing because 'they' created us?" Waiting to starve? Or because they may influence us, manipulate us, and we just wait to starve? ”

Then he gushed endlessly: "Even if there are 'people' who manipulate us, then we have to fight with them, ask them why they are manipulating us, and if the answer is not our favor, then turn them over." The chairman of the old man said: Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless; Struggle with the ground, the joy is endless; Struggle with others, the joy is endless. He also said: All reactionaries are paper tigers. How to fight? How do you puncture that paper tiger? ”

"That's one word,. We are altogether. Give birth. Party members, the least afraid is to do, the most good is to do. Dry business, dry leather. Fate, what is not done? If you don't do anything, 'he' won't manipulate you? ”

"We work hard, through work, to strengthen ourselves, and when the day comes when 'he' can't control it, then won't you win?"

Wow, Wang Xiao thought in his heart, this old leather. Life, everything is done.

But when he thought about it, what the old man said actually made sense. Because I am afraid that I am the puppet and do nothing, I am indeed too negative, and I know that this kind of thinking of myself may be the result of the expectations and efforts of those 'people'?

This thought suddenly came to him, like a bolt of lightning, and struck Wang Xiao at once, and Wang Xiao felt that a door suddenly opened in front of him.

He heard Old Man Fan continue: "You are really a negative element who worries about the sky. That artificial intelligence, to say the least, will take another decade or two, immortality, that is even more distant, do you need to worry about it now? ”

Wang Xiao asked, "What if it's right in front of you?" ”

Old man Fan admits his ignorance: "I can't comment on artificial intelligence. ”

Then he said: "Regarding good and evil, about medical treatment, there is nothing unworthy. No one is absolutely good, no one is absolutely evil, the wicked will have good thoughts, and the good will have evil thoughts. We should still see the role of education and correctly guide the masses of the people. At the same time, the binding force of law and morality is constantly enhanced, even if you live forever, then the death penalty can still exist, right? For those who really do evil, they should not and cannot be soft. I don't know what you think? ”

Wang Xiao said: "I don't agree with your point of view, whether you are worthy or not, you still have to consider it, just be free and proven, just do what you want, don't care what others are like." We've made some attempts in this area, and I call them unjust trials. ”

"Don't do anything lawless."

"Don't worry, we don't do anything illegal."

Fan Qingshan heard Wang Xiao always talk about ours, and couldn't help asking, "Are you organized?" Tell us about your situation. ”

Wang Xiao said: "We are a company. Listening to your words tonight, although it is not better than ten years of study, it suddenly made me realize that I may have been thinking wrong all along. I'm not doing anything, maybe it's what 'they' want. So, in the future, just one word, dry. Geezer! I've figured it out, just wait and see, and you'll get to know us slowly in the future. ”
