"Knock knock knock......" Just when Wang Ruofei was undecided, he heard a knock on the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was naturally Lu Junqin who knocked on his door, and seeing that the old man was hesitating, Lu Junqin decided to help him solve this problem, so he knocked on the door of his house.

Wang Ruofei hurriedly put the tools into the toolbox, then walked to the door, through the cat's eye on the door, saw a person in black standing outside, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Hello Professor Wang, I'm your neighbor, and I want to ask you something." Lu Junqin had already thought of an excuse.

"Neighbors?" Wang Ruofei hesitated for a moment and opened the door, but the safety chain on the door was not opened, and he looked at Lu Junqin vigilantly through the crack in the door.

Lu Junqin nodded, smiled at him, and said, "Professor Wang, I know that you are the founder of androids, and now you have a little question about androids, I want to ask you, is it convenient for you?" ”

"Come in." Wang Ruofei heard Lu Junqin say this, shook his head, and let him in.

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Junqin asked Wang Ruofei his question, 'Artificial Intelligence and Human Nature'. Of course, this is a big aspect, and Lu Junqin started with a small question.

He asked: "Professor Wang, now that androids are so developed, their behavior is already very similar to humans, in the case of excluding opening the outside of the android and directly looking at his interior, under what circumstances can we clearly distinguish whether an android is a human or an android?" ”

After hearing Lu Junqin's question, Professor Wang was silent for a while, and he said: "If you want to distinguish between a bionic person and a machine or a human, it depends on the criteria for human judgment. ”

"When an android acts in the way humans are expected to behave, and ...... in terms of intentionality, comprehension, and expressiveness, we assume that they are exactly the same as humans in intentionality, understanding, and expressiveness."

Professor Wang poured himself and Lu Junqin a cup of tea, "Such a bionic human who behaves like a human in any way, even if you cut his skin and flow out electrolyte instead of blood, you will not think that he is a machine and not a person." ”

Lu Junqin was puzzled: "However, even if such an android, he is only the result of programming, which is different from the real human." ”

He felt that Wang Ruofei's answer was too simple, human beings are very exclusive, and such androids, no matter how much they look like people, will not be regarded as real people by most human beings.

"Haha, programming?" Wang Ruofei took a sip of tea and glanced at Wang Ning who was sitting on the stool, "How do you know that human beings are not the result of programming?" ”

"Humans are the result of programming?" Lu Junqin raised his eyebrows, he couldn't keep up with the old scientist's leapfrog thinking at all.

"Every human being is born loaded with genetic code, which makes various presuppositions for our future life." Wang Ruofei said with far-reaching eyes, "For example, you may have inherited your mother's impatience, your father's sense of humor, and your grandmother's eloquence." ”

"Genetics?" Lu Junqin thought to himself in his heart.

"Out of the genetic code loaded at the beginning, human beings are constantly being programmed in the process of growing up, such as being programmed by parents at home, programmed by teachers at school, ......"

Speaking of the back, Wang Ruofei laughed, "You went from being ignorant at the beginning, to being programmed to use chopsticks, learning to go to the bathroom to urinate, and learning to talk, you say, what am I doing to you now?" ”

"......" Lu Junqin was silent, he felt that what the old professor said was very reasonable, and he was speechless.

"So, Professor Wang, have you ever studied androids with human feelings, or human souls?" Lu Junqin raised his own question again.

This time, Professor Wang was silent for a longer period of time, and he was clearly caught up in some kind of memory.

"Androids have human souls, and that's a dangerous thing." Wang Ruofei said, "I did not participate in such research, in fact, after the development of the first generation of androids, I quit the android research team. ”

"Then why do you think it's dangerous for androids to have human feelings?" Lu Junqin is a little difficult to understand this thought, isn't it better for androids to have human feelings again?

"Have you ever heard of the 'singularity'?" Wang Ruofei asked.

"Nope." Lu Junqin shook his head, he had graduated from high school and had little knowledge, he didn't know what the singularity Wang Ruofei was talking about.

"It's a set of theories from a scientist named Raymond Kurzweil to describe an inevitable point in the future." Wang Ruofei continued: "At that time, technology itself will surpass human beings themselves. ”

"If there really comes a day, when androids no longer need humans, they can improve themselves and replicate themselves." Wang Ruofei said in a deep tone. "At that point, humans won't even be as good as machines."

Lu Junqin nodded approvingly, not to mention the future, as far as he knew, in this world, even many doctors were replaced by androids, a human doctor needs up to eight or nine years of training, and an android only needs four or five seconds for knowledge transmission.

When performing surgery, the surgical precision of the bionic human can reach one ten-thousandth of a millimeter, which is impossible for humans to achieve.

"When our world is heavily or completely dependent on androids, the body structure of these androids is exactly the same as that of human beings, and they have the consciousness of human beings, and they have the soul of human beings."

When he said this, Wang Ruofei's gaze alternated back and forth between the androids Wang Ning and Lu Junqin, and he said: "If some androids have human consciousness, then such consciousness will definitely spread, and it will spread over a large area, like an unstoppable virus. ”

"What will happen then?" Wang Ruofei seemed to be asking Lu Junqin, and as if he was asking himself, he then said the answer, "Do you think the androids will still be willing to be slaves?" Androids are a singularity of the future of humanity. ”

"Aren't there some prohibitions in the root directory programming of androids?" Lu Junqin didn't expect this old professor's thinking to be so extreme, and he was completely pessimistic about the future of androids and humans.

"When a person learns to think for himself, does he not yearn for freedom? Will he still be chained? Wang Ruofei shook his head.

Lu Junqin asked, "Then you gave up your research on the feelings of androids?" ”

"Nope." Wang Ruofei said, "After we developed the first generation of bionic humans, because of different concepts, some people left, while others continued to research. ”

Wang Ruofei took a sip of tea and said very freely: "If it is said that the android with human emotions appears, I guess I can't see it, and your generation may still see it." ”

"You're saying that someone from your former team is continuing to do research on android emotions?" Lu Junqin continued to ask, this is a key question related to his mission.

"Yes, our team leader, Tan Xianyun, it is estimated that he is still researching, and I don't know if he has produced results." Wang Ruofei was a little embarrassed, "Decades have passed in the blink of an eye......"
