"I said, let's compete in the race."

Liu Sui'an paused word by word and repeated.

He figured it out.

The previous indecision was entirely due to fear of that mysterious and unknown civilization.

However, since that mysterious and unknown civilization created Bai Ze and endowed it with the characteristics of kindness and innocence, this civilization is not necessarily a cruel and greedy civilization.

The world is not black and white, and other civilizations cannot be judged simply by good, bad, good, and evil.

There is too little information known at present, and Liu Suian can't believe in this mysterious civilization, but he chooses to believe Bai Ze.

Fear comes from the unknown.

As long as Bai Ze explained the principle of the general truth to himself completely and transparently, then the development of the situation would not easily go off the rails.

"Bai Ze can feel your trust, and in return, in the process of deploying the general truth, Bai Ze will tell you all the principles in it, and there will be no concealment, you have to listen carefully."

Bai Ze was full of excitement, I don't know if it was because he was about to take the first step in his mission, or because he was happy to be trusted.

"With the Python and neural network function library Pytorch that you are currently using, it is difficult to deploy the complete generalization, so Bai Ze can only deploy only some of the functions of the generalization for the time being."

"I know, it's a castrated version of the Plain Tongue."

"You can understand it that way. Different from neural networks, the operating logic of the human brain is very similar, and Bai Ze starts with the most basic unit of the human brain, that is, the synapse......"

Bai Ze explained seriously, and this scene made Liu Suian feel as if he was back in the middle school biology class.

If it was in a real high school biology class, Liu Suian would have fallen asleep bored.

However, at the moment, he listened very carefully and took notes on the computer from time to time.

This is a major event that is enough to affect his life and even the future of mankind, and Liu Suian has no reason not to listen.

With Bai Ze's in-depth explanation, he gradually understood what kind of concept it was.

By way of comparison, it is important to understand the nature of the current neural networks on Earth.

For example, if an image is fed in, the neural network will initialize a lot of random data, that is, parameters, and then process the input image and these parameters with some kind of operation.

If the operation is convolutional (which can be understood as a complex multiplication), then the neural network is called a convolutional neural network.

What is the purpose of using a convolutional neural network?

The answer is to get the characteristics of this image, and it is represented by numbers.

To put it simply, there is a human face in a painting, and all the facial features of this human face are characteristics of TA. What does their nose and mouth look like, single eyelid or double eyelid? Does TA's face belong to the goose egg face or the national character face?

After obtaining these features, the most common application is face recognition in image classification to determine who the input face is.

Previously, Liu Suian spent a day training the neural network, which was actually training the parameters initialized by the neural network, so that these parameters could better extract features.

The training process can be understood as letting the neural network remember the features of the dataset step by step. Train a hundred times, let the neural network 'see' the faces of Han Qiming and Liu Suian a hundred times, and you can always tell who is who.

Convolutional neural networks are the most basic neural network models used to extract features. On top of that, add other more complex operations and do a little more work, and you can achieve many more complex functions than image classification.

AI painting is an example of this.

The neural network commonly used in AI painting is called generative adversarial network, and the key to generating and extracting image features is the convolutional neural network.

How does a generative adversarial network complete a painting? The generative adversarial network consists of two parts, the generative network and the discriminant network.

Among them, the generative network, as the name suggests, is used to generate paintings, and it doesn't matter what it is, and uses convolutional neural networks to draw a picture casually.

As for whether the drawing is good or not, and how to improve it, it is left to the judgment network to do.

The generative network and the discriminant network are drawn and changed one by one, one Party A and one Party B, forming an adversarial network, hence the name adversarial network.

After repeating the process of painting and changing it many, many times, you get the painting you want.

At present, the so-called artificial intelligence, that is, neural networks, is nothing more than training parameters, training a bunch of simplest numbers.

Therefore, if one thinks that neural networks will lead to an intellectual crisis, and that artificial intelligence will eventually replace humans, this view is very unnecessary.

It's good that a neural network can do a good job, and you don't have to expect a neural network with a lot of numbers to generate your own thoughts.

Compared to neural networks, the concept is completely different.

At best, neural networks are computer algorithms that take some inspiration from the human brain, while Generic Ideas completely replicate the functions of the human brain and go beyond it!

The most fundamental difference is that neural networks use parameters to operate, while the general network builds the basic units of the human brain—neurons and synapses.

In the brain, synapses are responsible for the transfer of information between two neurons or between neurons and effector cells. Once you have synapses, it becomes logical to build neurons and high-level human brain tissue.

The first is the hippocampus, which is responsible for forming long-term memories of what has been experienced, such as seeing a human face and then remembering what it looks like.

Then there is the left brain, right brain, and cerebellum.

The cerebellum is responsible for regulating movement, and if it is not deployed on a robot that has a physical body and can move, this part of the function will not be used for the time being.

The left brain is responsible for all the activities of the right half of the human body, and has the ability of language processing, conceptual analysis, number crunching, logical reasoning, etc., and almost all tasks related to engineering and science can be entrusted to this part.

The right brain is opposite to the left brain, responsible for all the activities of the left half of the human body, and has the ability to create art such as music and painting, spatial geometry, imagination, etc., and this part is needed to complete the AI painting to be realized.

Then there is the critical cerebral cortex, which is responsible for almost everything such as vision, hearing, and thinking, and plays a role as a carrier of abstract thinking and consciousness activities in addition to regulating body temperature and other bodily functions.

Finally, the frontal lobe, which is responsible for the functions of emotional will, creativity, and reason, and Bai Ze's lively and vivid personality must be attributed to this part.

The functions of these brain tissues are coordinated and intersect with each other.

It can be seen that the human brain can do everything that the human brain can't, such as ultra-fast thinking and large-scale computing ability.

This is the real super artificial intelligence!

After listening to Bai Ze's explanation, Liu Suian sighed sincerely.

After Bai Ze finished explaining, he cleared his throat in a matter-of-fact manner.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about the Nexus crisis. In fact, it is not necessary, and only a part of it can be deployed. For example, if you want to make the general brain only serve AI painting, it is enough to deploy the right brain part separately.

No matter which part is deployed, as long as the frontal lobe is not deployed, it will not develop its own personality and emotions, and it will not want to replace humans. When one day you don't need them anymore, you can get rid of them with peace of mind.

After all, in your eyes, there is no emotion, and it is just a very useful tool. It's not as good as a pet cat or dog, which can make you think ethically. ”

"Transparent."

Bai Ze's words made Liu Sui'an pause.

That's right!

There is never a distinction between good and evil in technology, when human beings create a sword, the use of the sword depends entirely on how human beings use it, and they can't use the sword to kill people, and then complain and dislike the danger of the sword.

If Bai Ze didn't have such a thing as emotion, then in Liu Sui'an's eyes, she was just a tool that served her and had no thoughts.

How can tools without thought threaten the survival of humanity?

Of course, if in the future, people or themselves will be idle, deploy the frontal lobe, and give Pan Zhen a similar personality to Bai Ze, the situation will be different.

But this is the choice of human beings themselves, and all the consequences are borne by themselves.

At this moment, no one knew that in an ordinary bookstore in Datong City, a young man sitting at a desk was excited.

Perhaps, from this moment, human history is about to enter a new era.

Perhaps, the future has come.

If you leave a name in history, I don't know how future generations will write your own story.

Detroit: The Beginning?

Blade Runner 2023?

"Bai Ze sent the written code to your mailbox, except for the drawing function of the right brain, there is no other part deployed."

Bai Ze opened his mouth to interrupt Liu Suian's thoughts.

"The file is so big." Liu Suian looked at the 46M documents in the mailbox and smacked his tongue.

A code has only words, and it can reach 46M, so you can imagine how long this code is.

The sender's name shows Bai Ze, but the sender's mailbox is blank, which is obviously Bai Ze's magical operation.

Liu Suian downloaded the code from the mailbox, then deleted the email, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no residue.

Then, he opened the code and glanced at it.

“……”

He knew every word of the code, and when it was put together into a command, he had no idea what it was for.

If you look closely at these functions, you can write them from the ground up and don't call the neural network-related function libraries, so it's no wonder they're so long.

Because he had a clear understanding of his level, Liu Suian did not stumble and directly uploaded the code to the official website of the AI painting competition.

The upload is successful.

At this point, you only need to name the model you uploaded, and you have completed all the steps of the competition.

Liu Suian thought for a while, tapped his fingers on the keyboard a few times, and typed a word.

Omniscient。

The word means omniscient and omnipotent, and it also means prophet and God, and it is fully worthy of the power of the Prophet.

The reason why Chinese 'general knowledge' input is not used is because this column does not support Chinese input.

In the current field of neural networks and even the Internet industry, English programming is the absolute mainstream, and all programmers use English programming by default.

Maybe one day, I can launch a compiler that only supports Chinese, so that everyone can write code in Chinese.

Liu Suian closed the official website of the AI painting competition, and then he just had to wait for the results.

Do you want to play a little game?

Forget it, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm a little tired today.

Go to bed.
