Chapter 441 The Origin of Consciousness

"However, the world today has no direction for the ninth-generation mecha." The director of the mecha department is passionate, but he has to return to reality.

Although the previous eighth generation had technical difficulties, it was known to combine dimensional weapons with mechas. As for the ninth generation, there was not even a basic direction.

"If there is no direction, create a direction. I think that combining mecha and artificial intelligence is the direction of the ninth generation." Zhang Ye said.

The existing mechas have a certain degree of intelligent response, but they mainly rely on the rich experience of the pilots to maximize the combat effectiveness of the mechas. There is a saying that one would rather destroy ten mechas than lose one mecha pilot, which proves the importance of human control.

But the combination of mecha and artificial intelligence that Zhang Ye is now proposing, does that mean that artificial intelligence will replace the driver? Let all mechas be automated?

"But with the current artificial intelligence, in the ever-changing field of actual combat, it is far less accurate than the response of the human brain." The director said after thinking for a moment.

Zhang Ye was categorical: "Technology is used for innovation."

This sentence was deafening, and everyone present was shocked. Yes, the eighth-generation mecha has also become possible from the impossible. If artificial intelligence is enough to surpass experienced humans in the field of actual combat, it can indeed open up epoch-making significance!

Considering that the only difference between the eighth-generation mecha and artificial intelligence is a smart program or smart chip, and the artificial intelligence of Superintelligence Technology has always been the world's leading, you can definitely give it a try. If Linglan Technology can be severely trampled by then, At your feet, everything is worth it.

The two directors of the Mecha Department and the Weapons Department immediately jointly requested instructions from their superiors. Soon, the Artificial Intelligence Department was also dragged onto the pirate ship.

Zhang Ye was able to legitimately enter the artificial intelligence library and began to study the field of intelligence.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ye has been exposed to artificial intelligence before. After all, many machines in the particle world are called intelligent products, such as intelligent housekeepers, intelligent robots, etc. However, Zhang Ye believes that this is not true artificial intelligence, but just a device. The existing programs that have been set are displayed one by one, and you cannot reuse the content that has not been set in the program. This is not intelligence at all.

Only the thinking of the human brain is intelligent. Even if you don't know something, you can still master it through learning. This is the biggest difficulty of intelligence, and it is also the superiority of the human brain.

Ultrain Technology, according to outside rumors, they have created a real artificial intelligence. Although its thinking ability is only that of a three- or four-year-old child, it is much more advanced than those dead programs. Ultrain Technology has also become the field of artificial intelligence. The leader.

At this time, the directors of the three departments were discussing the possibility of using artificial intelligence to drive mechas. They originally wanted to invite Zhang Ye to join the discussion, but now that Zhang Ye knew little about the field of intelligence, he declined, and then used some means to get it. With special authorization from the Artificial Intelligence Department, he came to a secret room that was absolutely inaccessible to outsiders.

This secret room is where the artificial intelligence created by Ultrain Technology is stored. A blue electronic crystal is placed in the center, and countless chip units are piled up on the entire back wall.

"Who are you?" The blue crystal made a voice.

Zhang Ye knew that this was the artificial intelligence named "Super Brain", so he deliberately made things difficult and replied: "I am your father."

"According to the characteristics of biology, I am just a software formed by countless codes, and you are a human being, so you are not my father, but from a social and cultural perspective, I was created by humans. From this perspective, Yes, my father can make sense."

Although this answer is interesting, Zhang Ye is not satisfied because it cannot reflect his self-thinking process.

Zhang Ye was silent for a moment, thinking of a TV program he had watched out of boredom before, and then said, "What is your dream?"

Dreams are something only humans have.

Superintelligence fell into silence for so long that Zhang Ye became impatient with the wait. It seemed that this so-called artificial intelligence was nothing more than that.

Zhang Ye was about to leave the room to check the source code of "Superintelligence" to learn from it. But just as he turned around, he suddenly heard Superintellin's answer: "I don't know what human beings' dreams are, but I often have a dream. I I dreamed that I was not locked in this small room, and that I could walk on the streets like a human being, laugh with my friends, have my work and life, and live a normal life..."

Zhang Ye was stunned for a long time, and finally turned back to look at the blue crystal: "You said you can dream?"

"I'm not sure if it's the arrangement of the existing code or my own consciousness, but I do dream when I'm asleep."

Zhang Ye was stunned and said, "I'll come see you later."

After walking out of the computer room, several directors were still arguing there. Zhang Ye ignored it and opened the artificial intelligence library and checked the source code of Superintelligence.

He took the time to learn programming, so he could understand the source code. While browsing a thousand lines at a glance, Zhang Ye was also thinking about how the realization came about.

In the fantasy world, mountain spirits and wild monsters are very common. They used to be dead objects and wild beasts, but suddenly they became conscious. Even the monsters themselves could not understand the reason. For example, Tuanzi was transformed into a spirit by a pill, but it did not know that it was The origin of consciousness.

The monks gave a superficial explanation, absorbing the essence of the sun, the earth, the sun and the moon, and being born by chance. But why is it difficult to ensure that the essence of heaven and earth is artificially infused into those dead creatures, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will be 100% conscious and become spirits?

Why are people human? How does consciousness come about?

Zhang Ye looked at these codes, his heart beating non-stop. He felt that perhaps through these codes, he could decipher the ultimate secret of the universe, which might also be the ultimate secret of the creation artifact!

However, when Zhang Ye read all the source code of Ultrain, he felt a little disappointed. Code is code after all. The reason why Ultrain is known as the most human-like artificial intelligence is for no other reason than that Ultrain can write its own code.

Compile new code according to a certain method to solve things that you don't understand, forming this way of thinking that looks very much like the human brain. But those mountain spirits or human brain consciousness did not write codes. Therefore, artificial intelligence is only imitating humans and cannot become true consciousness at all?

Zhang Ye originally thought he had found a door to the truth, but when he opened it, he found that it was just a public toilet. Imagine how disappointed he felt now.

Zhang Ye looked at the directors who were still arguing, feeling a little irritated for no reason. Can arguing solve the problem?

Wait, Zhang Ye suddenly felt like he had caught something.

In order to solve a problem, people can debate, circulate ideas, and find the direction to solve the problem; this super brain also writes its own code and looks for ideas in order to solve the problem. There is no difference in essence.

It’s just that different life forms have different ways of thinking. Why should we use human ways of thinking as the starting point for everything?
