Chapter 56: I Have a Bad Idea

"Supervisor, you mean this system ......" Shen Jiang hesitated, his eyes rolled and he found a statement that didn't sound too mysterious, "It can predict the future?" โ€

"It can't predict the future, it's just speculating on the future." Shang Lu shook his head, "It guesses what you want to think next before you, this is what I call 'preconsciousness', I know it sounds incredible, it is impossible to guess in advance what a person's brain will think next in a wide field, but it is possible to do it in some specific small fields, such as the calculation of numerical relativity." โ€

"For example, the first number you think of now is 1, if the system knows you well enough, it will know that you will most likely think of 2, 5 or 7 next, according to the different probabilities to form a multi-forked tree with different weights, when you think of 2, the system will think of 3, 9 and 4 before you, in short, no matter which step you think of, the MEG system will always think of one step, two steps or even three or four steps more than you." Shang Lu went on to explain, "This design can greatly shorten the reaction time of the MEG system, improve the time sensitivity, and compress it to less than 1 millisecond or even microseconds, because the driver and the MEG complete the thinking almost at the same time." โ€

Shen Jiang was a little surprised.

"We call it a priori prediction algorithm." Shang Lu said, "In the study of neurodynamics and psychology, we divide human consciousness into 'preconscious', 'subjective consciousness' and ' Tail consciousness', generally speaking, the preconscious is the brain's thought enlightenment stage, the main consciousness is the main thinking activity, and the tail consciousness is the brain's retrospective verification and rumination activities, when your brain is calculating, its information is mainly generated in the main consciousness, but the previous BCI system does not distinguish these, it receives all the information generated by the brain, and then analyzes it after the brain produces the tail consciousness, which is completely lagging behind, and the prediction algorithm is synchronously advanced with the brain, so it has the ability to respond after the end of the main consciousness, which may achieve a very wonderful effect- For the driver, the MEG system seems to react faster than his own brain, and before he can react, the MEG system has already given an answer, as if he is really predicting the future. โ€

Shen Jiang's eyes lit up, and her gaze changed faintly when she looked at Shang Lu again, as if she had discovered the traits of top engineers and scientists from him on the first day, but Shang Lu was still sitting on the chair with his back bent, and the tablet was flat on his lap, it was hard to imagine how powerful the power was hidden in this emaciated body.

"How?" Shen Jiang asked.

"Huh?"

"What do I have to do to complete this system?" Shen Jiang was very interested, "How many more questions to do?" How many more songs? How much more torture will I suffer from you? โ€

Shang Lu was silent for a few seconds, then clasped his hands together and pressed them against his chin.

"At the level of computing machines, we have achieved the extreme, but a simple computing machine can never become a second brain, and it will never be possible to break through the Rabin-Shang number wall, what we need to do next...... is to sabotage it. โ€

"Sabotage?"

"We must not allow it to continue to be strong and perfect, but to have flaws, serious and inexplicable flaws peculiar to the human soul." Shang Lu raised his head and looked the girl in the eye, "It should learn to have your feelings." โ€

This is the biggest difficulty faced by the MEG-BCI system, it is not in the algorithm, not in the hardware, not in the design, but in the driver Shen Jiang - it's a pity, Shen Jiang is a very cold person.

"Because she can't distinguish faces, she can't have any feelings for other people." Shang Lu sighed, "I should have thought of this question a long time ago, but at that time, I was immersed in the problem of algorithms and hardware, who would have the heart to care about this?" โ€

"Does AI have the ability to understand and learn emotions?"

Chen Yu was laying out the soft and harmonious quilt, this afternoon the sun rarely showed its head, Chen Yu took advantage of the lunch break to run back to the dormitory to move the two of them out to dry, compared to Shang Lu's life is much rougher, he doesn't remember to dry the quilt.

ใ€‘

The weather forecast says that it will rain again tomorrow, and the next week is a week of rainy and bad weather.

"I don't know if AI has the ability to learn human emotion, which should be seen as a serious flaw that is difficult to understand, because AI was perfect when it was born, but it wasn't when humans were born." Shang Lu said, "When human beings are born from the inside out from top to bottom, these defects are the source of emotions, human beings need these emotions to make up for their own shortcomings, the individual's lack of survival ability is born to maintain the psychology of belonging to social existence, the individual's lack of the ability to reproduce alone gives birth to opposite-sex attraction male and female emotions, weakness gives birth to morality, fear gives birth to empathy, but AI is perfect and powerful, it has no flaws." โ€

"Little Chief Engineer, you want the MEG system to try to mimic human defects?" Chen Yu patted the futon on the bed hard, and sat up contentedly, "The quilt is still comfortable." โ€

Shang Lu was sitting and soaking his feet, "The framework of the transcendental prediction algorithm has been built, but the MEG system is not capable of using it yet, because it is not enough to fit Shen Jiang's brain, and the MEG system must understand brain activity at a deeper level, which is the most likely way to break through the Rabin-Shang number wall." โ€

Chen Yu pondered for a few seconds, "Then what are you going to do?" Let her sit on the MEG system and tell her jokes? โ€

"This approach has already been tried." Shang Lu shook his head, "In the past two months of training, we have collected a lot of her emotional activity, but we immediately found a very serious problem. โ€

"What's the problem?"

"Shen Jiang is cold by nature, hot on the outside and cold on the inside." Shang Lu said, "Her joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all fake. โ€

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not a giant machine driver, I'm not sure if all drivers have this mentality, probably people who are used to walking a tightrope on the line of life and death will ignore their own survival, no matter whether Shen Jiang is angry or happy on the surface, we look at the analysis results on the MEG system, and her emotional center seems to be inactive." Shang Lu said, "She's just performing. โ€

"Holy." Chen Yu said, "Is there still such a person in the world? โ€

Shang Lu was also surprised, surprised, and even terrified when he found this, he knew that there had been a small person hidden inside Shen Jiang's wanton and wild shell, and that little man would always look at everything around him with a cold gaze without temperature.

Of course, there is no one in this world who has no feelings, Shang Lu thinks that this is because Shen Jiang closed herself in the extremely turbulent life in the past, she may not have taken the initiative to do so, or it may be that the outside world forced her to close herself, even in the depths of her heart where no one can peep, she still does not dare to show the psychological state of a normal person.

"So it's hard for the MEG system to simulate her emotions and emotional activity, she's used to it, and maybe she's not even aware of it." Shang Lu said, "Mentally ill people don't think of themselves as mentally ill. โ€

"I see what you need, Chief." Chen Yu said, "You need Shen Jiang to show strong and real emotions when he sits on the MEG system, and the AI can distinguish and imitate." โ€

"Yes." Shang Lu scooped up the towel and wrung it out, "But she doesn't eat oil and salt, and she is indifferent when you tell her jokes, horror stories, comedies, and thriller movies." โ€

"Human emotional projection must have a subject, as a super faceblind person, she can't recognize anyone, and naturally oil and salt can't enter." Chen Yu said, "Little Chief Engineer, you need a person that Shen Jiang can recognize, is willing to accept, and is familiar with, as the subject of emotional projection. โ€

Shang Lu was wiping his feet and asked casually, "And then?"

"This person has to be around her all the time, be in front of her when she trains, elicit her emotional changes, and be familiar with the experimental process of the MEG system." Chen Yu continued, "This is how the demand can be met." โ€

Shang Lu finished wiping his feet, threw the towel on the back of the chair, and asked in a deep voice, "And then?"

Chen Yu moved over and poked Shang Lu's back with his toes.

"Little Chief Engineer, I have a bad idea, do you want to listen to it?"

Shang Lu frowned and glanced at him.

He sensed something was wrong.

"You say."

Chen Yu hesitated, cleared his throat, and said:

"Little Chief Engineer, let her fall in love with you."
