"Chu Jun, has the AI technology you mastered already reached the level of artificial intelligence?"

After thinking about it for a long time, the president of SCE finally tentatively asked this question that had been lingering in his mind, Chu Fang touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and replied "honestly":

"Hmm...... This technology is not as advanced as you think, but it just improves the AI's ability to understand semantics and make it able to respond more correctly.

Ordinary AI can only understand standard commands in a certain format, but our AI can understand a variety of more vague and non-standard commands, and its ability to correct errors is similar to that of humans, even if it cannot be understood or when it is wrong.

For example, if the player inexplicably walks over to the NPC and asks him 'to fight or not to fight', even a human cannot understand what he means, and can only ask him to 'speak more clearly' and 'speak more clearly'.

According to the creator of this technology, what he created is actually a new type of logic tree that can quickly and accurately retrieve a huge library of language and behavior numbers, so as to make correct responses in a very short time, and AI itself is still only responding mechanically, and does not have the ability to think and create a new type of logic.

But if you think that as long as you look like a human being is an artificial intelligence, then it can be considered artificial intelligence.

Personally, I think this kind of AI can be considered an artificial intelligence, but if Sony wants to collaborate with me in areas other than games, it's okay to work with me on open source co-research.

In fact, I've also considered applications such as smart machines, but the key to this application is not AI, but the level of manufacturing of machines - for example, the use of smart machines to perform high-precision surgeries instead of humans.

This kind of work does not need to let the smart machine qì person complete the whole process of the operation by himself. What is needed is a high-precision machine that can accurately perform the surgery, and the procedure and the position of the surgery can be written by the doctor. Then it is handed over to the machine to perform, and the current surgical machine is already very good. It doesn't make sense even if the AI is smarter.

The so-called intelligent machine qì human is actually just a simple job for humans, and there is no need to have the same level of intelligence as humans, and the existing AI is enough; However, the image and speech recognition technology used by our company in the game is more important, after all, it is much more difficult for a computer to accurately recognize images and speech than it is for a computer to accurately understand the meaning of words.

It's just that the company's technology in these two aspects is not particularly outstanding, the only advantage is that it is more like human semantic understanding technology, and the recognition of speech is also based on this technology, only one more step to accurately convert voice commands into text commands.

But this is nothing more than a correct screening of words with the same phonetics, just by comparing the whole sentence with the various commonly used standard sentences in the number jù curry. It is possible to make a judgment with basic accuracy - those words and phrases with double meanings may not be able to be understood accurately even by humans, and AI can sometimes misunderstand them to make them appear more real and human-like.

Therefore, although this kind of artificial intelligence that cannot avoid mistakes is not very useful in industrial production, it is just right in the game, a human who never makes mistakes will be said to be like a computer or a machine person, and the artificial intelligence must make some mistakes like humans from time to time to be accepted by the player.

――No matter what happens, if you say 'I'm sorry' after your judgment has led to a bad result, doesn't it feel like a real human being? Even if evil is eliminated in the name of justice, the later sentence of "I'm sorry" can be seen as an apology for kindness and intolerance, while evil destroys justice, and the later "I'm sorry" can be due to hypocrisy and bad taste. Or maybe there's something else going on. ”

Although Chu Fang is "trying" to put gold on his company's AI technology, the president of SCE on the other side who has a trace of greed in his eyes that can't be concealed still seems to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Yoshiki Tanaka, who is famous for science fiction, is also quite disappointed, but he is just disappointed because he can't see the real artificial intelligence.

And unlike the president of SCE. Master Yoshiki Tanaka is now more interested in Chu Fang's own talent:

"Chu Jun, let me take the liberty of asking, the design of your two games. Your application of this AI-like AI, and your use of 'Be clear,' 'I'm sorry,' 'Captain. Don't make small talk during the battle' This panacea answer to cover up the weakness of the AI was all come up with by yourself? ”

"That's true. Ill-conceived makes you laugh. ”

"No, no...... I just think you're really a young man with a lot of ideas, and you're also very action-oriented, and if you write science fiction, maybe you can write better than I do. ”

Chu Fang did not get angry because of Master Tanaka's questioning, and still maintained a very respectful attitude, in order to eliminate the dissatisfaction that Chu Fang might have in his heart, Master Tanaka made a little flattering joke after receiving his affirmative answer, which made Chu Fang only smile embarrassedly and humbly, even if he was really angry in his heart, he would definitely be gone.

And the president of SCE took the opportunity of this atmosphere to become more harmonious, and also put forward his own requirements to Chu Fang:

"Chu Jun, I already understand your thoughts, I have to say that this is really a great idea.

If you can prove in the alpha version of Legend of the Metroidvania that your AI program can actually make those NPCs look like real people, then Sony is willing to work with you further - presumably as the first mission world of that infinite game, right?

Until then, if you want to discuss copyright issues with other companies, Sony is also willing to help you.

Sony Corporation, in all its sincerity, would like to be your closest partner, and if you have a technology that proves to be of great value outside of gaming, please give priority to co-development with Sony as well. ”

The dignified president of Sony, although he is only the president of SCI, can be so respectful to Chu Fang, an 18-year-old Chinese boy, this kind of bearing is really amazing.

Chu Fang and Ning Ning knew very well in their hearts that if the positions of the two sides were reversed, they might also be able to run over to see each other in person as "Corporal Lixian", but in terms of attitude, it was absolutely impossible to be so low-voiced, not to mention that the other party was only holding a few software technologies about the game, even if the other party pinched their lives, they would not compromise.

They know that saying two good words will not kill people, but will be beneficial and harmless, but they just can't do it; But now the president of SCE is able to do this very well, and the diplomatic rhetoric is full of real feelings, and perhaps this is the real gap between young people and adults.

"Thank you for your kindness, if we have anything else to work with, I will never leave Sony behind.

However, I personally don't like monopoly cooperation, and although the profit from monopoly is more lucrative, it hinders the development of the corresponding technology. ”

Chu Fang obviously held the AI technology tightly in his hand, and refused to leak even a single star, but he said in a high-sounding manner that he didn't like exclusivity, which really made people blush.

However, it is impossible for many people in this world to be generous enough to open up their core technologies, even if Chu Fang's ideological realm is much lower than that of the "Anonymous" god who advocates open source software (although the "Anonymous" god himself has never admitted it), but it should still be slightly higher than Sony, which has to make its own special specifications for everything.

Then, Chu Fang effortlessly negotiated with the vice president of Bothtec Company for the transfer of the copyright of the game adaptation of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", Chu Fang's game company is solely responsible for the production and sales of the game, and Bothtec can get a 5% share of the remaining contract period of the game copyright signed between it and Yoshiki Tanaka, and when the contract period ends, Master Tanaka will continue to receive a share of the profits.

The reason why Bothtec's asking price is so low is that it is to save face for Sony, and second, because their contract with Master Tanaka is about to expire.

In fact, in the second year after the official biography of "The Legend of Yinying" was closed, they made the first game of "The Legend of Yinying" in 1988, and made 11 games until 2003, and never made a new game after that, and in 2008, Bandai Namco obtained a temporary license to make only one game, and on the 20th anniversary of the animation production of "The Legend of Yinying", there was a fan-oriented new game, and then there was no then, and the game copyright of "The Legend of Yinying" is really not worth a few bucks now.

But it is foreseeable that if Chu Fang's AI technology is really so powerful, coupled with gimmicks such as voice-controlled somatosensory games, support for 4K resolution and virtual reality glasses, and infinite game worlds, the final income of this game may be quite high, and the novel of "The Legend of Yinying" is also likely to take the opportunity to become popular again, even if the share is only 5%, maybe Master Tanaka will take advantage of it.

“…… So can I ask the vice president and Miss Sugida for the copyrights of Kadokawa's publishing houses? In fact, as long as Sony and Kadokawa Group have the copyright support, it doesn't matter if other companies don't buy it. ”

After negotiating the contract for "The Legend of Yinying", Chu Fang finally turned his attention to the Kadokawa Group, which he had coveted for a long time but did not take the initiative, and the vice president of ASCII Publishing House seemed to move his body a little uncomfortably, and then replied slowly:

"Personally, I'm still very interested in the idea of an infinite game world, and I'll report it to the higher-ups as I am.

If "The Legend of Eunyoung" is a success, or if Sony recognizes your company's technical prowess, I don't think the top management will refuse such a good thing. (To be continued......)
