Chapter 30: Reality Show

Galava misses out on the Raiden Company, and when he wakes up, there is bad news from the company. Apple actually lost money in the first quarter, the underlying companies of the IT industry in California's Silicon Valley have bet on quantum computing, the industrial base that Apple relies on to integrate has suddenly been disconnected, the semiconductor industry has encountered a bottleneck, Apple's proud mobile phone no longer leads the market, the business has declined sharply, and rivals from Asia are aggressively encroaching on Apple's market.

After Paliola, a strong woman who was appointed in danger, took over the appointment letter of CEO, she immediately adopted a drastic restructuring strategy, laying off employees in non-core departments, and Galava's business was greatly replaced by artificial intelligence, and Galava lost her job. Fortunately, there is also China, the big savior, the eastern first-tier cities land prices are unbeatable, IT companies can not afford the cost of business and temporarily unable to make a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence, these companies continue to move out, they are aiming at Bangalore, India.

An online school from Shanghai called Sinology has extended an olive branch to Galava, and the Internet education of Sinology is in full swing throughout the Chinese world, with 50 million paying users, ranging from preschool education to health care for the elderly. In the five years since it was listed on the Shenzhen Growth Enterprise Market, its profits and stock price have grown simultaneously, and it has become a star company after BAT.

However, in the past two years, the profit growth rate has obviously hit the ceiling, and when the potential objects continue to be absorbed into online school users, improving teaching efficiency has become a top priority.

The company's management decided to move the R&D department to Bangalore, and some courses were changed from human teaching to artificial intelligence teaching.

It was in this context that Galava entered Sinology, and he wanted to transplant his Siri skills into the teaching system of Sinology. The dream of two million annual salaries has come to naught, Sinology has added 10,000 rupees to Galava's monthly salary on the basis of Apple, Sinology refuses to pay with Bitcoin, because the central bank of China explicitly prohibits companies from using bitcoin as a means of payment, and the central bank is developing its own blockchain technology, so they have a very ambiguous attitude towards Modi's proposal. Galava has no intention of bargaining, his father needs to take care of the funeral, and his two sisters have to save for the dowry, now is the time for Galava to repay the family, and he can only accept the status quo.

The development of artificial intelligence courseware presided over by Galava is not difficult, and he transplanted Siri voice technology into the Sinology system and quickly introduced it to the market, and the teaching robot of Sinology can not only skillfully explain the courseware, but also answer students' questions and evaluate students' work, which is much more efficient than teachers hired in the Chinese market.

The robot can respond to tens of thousands of students' questions at the same time, and customize the curriculum according to the characteristics of the students, teaching students according to their aptitude.

This surprised market analysts, after the seventeenth-century Czech Comenius put forward the theory of class teaching, public education was popularized, the quality of large class teaching has always been a problem that the education industry needs to overcome, after the invention of the online school, educators and market analysts agreed that this form of teaching can only be a supplement to classroom teaching, and the quality cannot be compared with traditional teaching methods.

According to this trend, artificial intelligence teaching will become one student corresponding to one teacher, or even multiple teachers tutoring one student, and the educational efficiency will be improved tenfold and hundredfold.

Galava's achievements had just brought great fame to the Sinology system, and it didn't take long for the Sinology Online School to become the target of public criticism. The education system has banded together to refuse to provide high-quality courseware to online schools of Sinology, to prohibit senior teachers from serving Sinology, and to issue public relations decrees to prevent the networking of private educational institutions.

The Sinology Online School ran into huge trouble, and the company's top management decided to take a different path, and they asked Garava to use the latest neuronal learning algorithm to make the teaching robot learn on its own to become a qualified teacher.

Considering that the most profitable business of Sinology Online School is to assist teaching at the primary school level, Galava has developed six test teaching robots in Chinese, mathematics, English, art, nature and music.

I didn't expect to encounter a problem after going online, because teaching is an empirical discipline, it needs to constantly adjust teaching methods on the basis of adult observation and interaction with students, teaching robots are not favored by parents after the launch, the education system's ban on Sinology is well known to the world, no parents are willing to report their children to the teaching robot class without a foundation, they would rather go to the pirated underground online teaching website to listen to traditional teachers or participate in extracurricular on-site tutoring.

In order to solve the joke that no one signed up, the marketing department of Sinology Online School tried its best to give an unprecedented reward of 10,000 yuan to each student who signed up, and finally some parents signed up one after another.

The number of applicants for the test teaching of each course is uneven,The most is Chinese、English,Everyone is coming to the robot pronunciation standard,Mathematics is also good,The robot is good at correcting homework,And music、Art applicant Liao Liao。

As the number of applicants slowly increases, each teaching robot has shown a strong evolutionary function. The marketing department continued to increase advertising, and they also held a grand Turing test competition in the summer, inviting stars in the domestic entertainment industry to challenge the robot with their babies, and parents and children raised all kinds of tricky questions that were dealt with by the robot, and the competition was recorded as a reality show, which was broadcast to the world through online platforms.

At the beginning, Sinology was still relatively conservative, just let the two teaching robots of Chinese and mathematics participate in the recording and broadcasting, with the deepening of the program, Sinology became more and more certain, and simply changed all the subject robots to compete on the same stage, and the recording and broadcasting were also changed to live broadcasts. To the surprise of the decision-makers of Galava and Sinology Online School, the art class robot showed more learning ability than other disciplines, and came from behind in the reality show competition, with more and more fans, plus a registration reward of 10,000 yuan, the number of students in the art class actually succeeded in surpassing Chinese and foreign languages.

At the end of 2019, Sinology held the finals in the Disney theme park in Shanghai, which had just opened for three years.

Compared with the teaching robot reality show, three years ago, the Google robot vs. the Korean chess saint Lee Sedol is simply a small thing, according to later statistics, the finals attracted at least 200 million viewers live broadcast, and the number of subsequent secondary broadcast views exceeded the number of all netizens on the earth, the media joked that the number beyond the number includes artificial intelligence itself, and creatures with low IQ also watched this epoch-making program, and cats and dogs are also happy and ready to challenge humans.

At the finals, six computers equipped with teaching robots were lined up, and six groups of entertainment professionals who entered the finals sat opposite.

The first group is Zhu Leyang, a senior professor in the music industry, who married Chen Ying, a vocal music professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, and their daughter Zhu Hanling is just about to be promoted to junior high school, this group of families is a model for social elites;

The second group is Han Bingbin and his wife Wang Qun, their son Han Xiaoyang is in the second grade of primary school, Han Bingbin is an Internet celebrity in recent years, he has written a lot of famous scripts, but most people in the society suspect that he relies on him to study the works in the computer of his artificial intelligence wife Wang Qun, artificial intelligence can also compose, which is a hot topic in itself, and the organizing committee of the competition is also painstaking to invite Han Bingbin to appear at a high price;

The third group is the golden boy and jade girl duo in the entertainment industry, Sun Yibo and Luo Shishan, whose twin daughters have stolen a lot of limelight; The fourth group is Xia Yuqin, a supergirl born in the draft, she married Deng Yuanhuai in the investment industry, Deng Yuanhuai is low-key, almost never shows up, and this time she also appeared with her son Deng Yishan;

The fifth group is Huang Yousong, who is a halfway monk, and he is also particularly eye-catching in the competition, because he has a daughter Huang Yimeng who has no mother;

The last group is also more special, it is sports star Guo Congjun who brought his big-bellied wife Zhu Aoer to participate in the competition.

The judges of the competition refused to participate in the experts in the education industry, and they could only invite an expert in educational psychology from the United Kingdom to support the scene, in addition to the leaders of the artificial intelligence industry, as well as the representatives selected by the audience, and there are several winners of the Nebula Award Hugo Award.

The sensational Turing Test Contest began in such an entertaining way, the first part is a common sense answer, no matter how outlandish the questions asked by the family representatives, the teaching robot can cope with it.

Zhu Leyang came up and first picked a music robot to answer, his topic was to ask to play the Guangling song, the robot of Sinology immediately played this ancient famous song, and also told the story of Nie Zheng's assassination of Han Xiang, and put a video of the Warring States period in the middle, which was edited out of different film and television dramas at a glance, and then gave a detailed introduction to the legendary author Ji Kang to the audience, if it wasn't for the host asking to stop, the robot was ready to occupy the stage by himself.

Galava, who was watching the live broadcast from Bangalore, smiled, "Childish, the more unpopular knowledge robots are, the stronger they are, and it is impossible for them to be stumped by connecting to the cloud database to retrieve all the achievements of human civilization." ”

Galava was thinking about asking Sinology for a salary increase or a bitcoin salary payment after the tournament. The family in the back was frightened by the robot, and they all abstained from voting, and randomly selected the answer object to ask a little itchy question, of course, it was not difficult for the robot.

"Now is the last question of the first round, asked by Xia Yuqin's family, and answered by the language robot, can the robot win all? Let's wait and see after the ad. "The host who played Mickey deliberately sold a pass.

Galava made a cup of black tea and sat down in front of the computer, and it was Xia Yuqin's turn to ask, and her third-grade Deng Yishan played a prank, "May I ask the Chinese teacher, which are the five famous classics recognized in China?" ”

Seeing that the judges all laughed, Galava guessed that there must be something strange in it, and sure enough, the barrage translated by the translator began to be lively, "The child is so funny, it is obviously the four famous novels, where did the five famous novels come from?" "The host doesn't announce a child foul either, see how the robot answers?" "Humans can only win by machines." "Chinese are good at playing liars!"

Galava hurriedly searched in the search engine, it was the four famous books, and he wanted the judges to make their own judgment. The host probably also realized that the question was inappropriate, and when she was about to ask for a new question, the robot had already rushed to answer, "The five famous Chinese classical novels are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of Shuizhu", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West" and "Golden Vase Plum"

"No, no, there are no five famous novels, you are fooled!" Deng Yishan only clapped his hands happily, and Deng Yuanhuai also happily touched his son's head. There were obviously more subtitles on the barrage, and Galava didn't have time to read them.

The host set his eyes on the judges' bench, and the judges exchanged words for a while, "That's what we think in the computer world, and you humans will think so in another hundred years." "The language robot suddenly spoke again without the permission of the moderator.

The host who played Mickey was invited by Sinology from CCTV at a great price, and she was not flustered when she saw a big scene, "Teacher Robot, let's leave the judgment of this question to the judges, right?" ”

The judges hesitated for a while, and then raised their signs to judge that the robot had answered incorrectly. The host also started a round, "Xiao Deng thinks eclecticly and wins a point for mankind, but this method can no longer be used in the second round." ”

Deng Yishan grimaced at his mother, and the robot spoke again, "His question is correct, my question and answer are not wrong, you humans can't judge my mistake based on subjective judgment, if so, I ask to withdraw from the competition." ”

Even the organizers did not expect such a result, and the host was caught off guard. The barrage really flew over like a bullet, "What's the matter, it's a joke, Sinology is getting a big mess now." "It's worth it, a teaching robot is so arrogant, and it won't eat us humans in the future, and Asimov's robot three methods will be invalid." "This language robot kicked it out, and we waited for a long time to see the art robot perform, what a fuck." "Yes, yes, Feeporay, if you abstain, please leave the game, the game will continue quickly, and this princess will go to the bathroom."

The process of the game was also beyond Galava's expectations, and the language robot did not violate the three laws of robots, which Galava was very confident in, just when he was waiting for the host to announce the next process, the live broadcast stopped, "Dear viewers, the game will be extended due to technical problems, and the broadcast time will be announced immediately." ”

Galawa hurriedly called the scene, the scene was in chaos, the people who bought tickets to enter the scene did not do anything, and there was a scene, and no one paid attention to Galava at all.

The barrage area is still swiping the screen, and from the sporadic subtitles in it, Galava figured out that after the language robot listed "Golden Vase Plum" as the fifth masterpiece, it not only angered the education department, but also provoked the news department, and the emergency call was made to the live broadcast platform, demanding that the broadcast be stopped immediately for rectification.

Galava couldn't have imagined that the three-month reality show on the campus of Sinology would end in front of the world like this.

The Three Laws of Robots: Asimov, one of the three giants of science fiction, proposed that the first law - robots must not harm people, or allow people to be harmed and do nothing; The second law - robots should obey all human commands, except when the orders contradict the first law; The third law - robots must protect their existence, but must not contradict the first and second laws.
