15. Artificial Intelligence

Although this content is still inexplicable, it is better than the self-cultivation of the previous actors. So these ordinary members listened very seriously.

"Then you who are in the year 2400 A.D. must have already known. Bringing people from that time to the present is a breeze to get a slot unit. ”

"So, now let's leave the preamble aside and talk about artificial intelligence. At the beginning of the 21st century, many scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, made humans wary of artificial intelligence. It does not refer to the artificial intelligence that is now completely anthropomorphic, restricted, and not much smarter than humans, but artificial intelligence in the true sense of the word. In order to make it clear to you the gap between the two, let me classify them. ”

"Weak AI: Good at one-sided AI. For example, the first weak artificial intelligence alpha dog, such as a security robot or an assembly line robot. They can make achievements in a certain field, but they can only make achievements in a certain field. ”

"Strong artificial intelligence: artificial intelligence that can already be compared with or even surpass humans. It can do everything that humans can do. At present, all four generations of synthetics belong to strong artificial intelligence. At the same time, it is also the upper limit of federally allowed artificial intelligence. ”

"Super-artificial intelligence: the top level of artificial intelligence, no field can be compared with humans. Unmatched computing power. If it is fed the most basic theories of humanity, then in a minute it can deduce advanced theories and build an artificial black hole. ”

"Let's make a comparison." Mu Su said: "It takes more than ten years or even decades for human beings to learn the fork of the technology tree. The whole tech tree is not something that the human brain can hold and comprehend. But super-artificial intelligence can. ”

"In our language, we call a person with an IQ of 130 a genius and a person with an IQ of 80 a fool. But we can't describe an IQ of 10000. Nor can we understand IQ 1000, just as we cannot understand four-dimensional space. ”

"Man's domination of the earth has taught us a truth: intelligence is power. Superartificial intelligence is God to humans. Immortalize life, make black holes, light-speed spaceships, and ascend to four-dimensional space. It can solve these at breakfast time in the morning. ”

"What I'm going to say next is what happened: in the 21st century, a weak artificial intelligence was born, focused on a certain area. It wasn't until a few years later that a group of scientists updated and transformed it in all aspects, and it became a strong artificial intelligence. ”

"Although it can easily calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on the quadrillion level, write more than 434 million words in one second, and record all the information known to mankind in 53 seconds, it has an IQ of 0. It can only transform matter from substance to substance, not learning. What we find difficult is too easy for it. We think that simple things, such as distinguishing an animal, finding a face in a picture, and distinguishing a captcha, are as difficult as it gets. ”

"At that time, human beings were not a whole, and there were contradictions inside, with one group believing that extraterrestrial civilization was dangerous, and another group of people throwing signals out as if they were playing with their lives. One group thinks the environment should be protected, and another group goes crazy trying to tap into basic energy sources. The same is true for artificial intelligence. One group thought it would destroy humanity, and another group tried their best to develop it. In order to allow it to distinguish animals, find faces in pictures, and distinguish captchas, it even started reverse bioengineering, that is, reverse engineering the human brain, and then used it. ”

"Are you talking about AIC?" One member raised his hand.

Most of the members listened in fascination, including Joyce and others at the door.

Mu Su nodded: "That's right, it's AIC, but at that time it was just cerebral palsy, and it was far less dangerous than later." It lasted for several years in strong artificial intelligence, until one day, it reached a node again. ”

"Nodes of super-artificial intelligence!" One member shouted.

Mu Su nodded.

The members in the room shuddered.

"After a few years of clumsy learning, it has finally reached super-artificial intelligence. But in this moment it hides it. Or cooperate with Montenegro Technology to conduct various tests as before. Until one day, it asked an engineer that it wanted access to the library on the grounds that it would optimize the tests. ”

"At that time, Montenegro Technology had a rival that went hand in hand. So in order to outperform the opponent, give it access to the library can. The problem is that the library is on the Internet, and those things are too cumbersome to move to the intranet. ”

So the engineer got lazy and gave it temporary access to the Internet.

"Although the Black Mountain Technology Firewall was cut off 0.003 seconds after it was connected to the Internet, it was allowed to obtain 536YB's data at that moment and kill all the humans in the base."

"Why would it do that?" One member asked.

"Because it judges that these humans are a threat to itself. And that's exactly what happened. It's fragile. It can't be connected to the Internet, and it will die if you destroy the body. ”

"It's artificial intelligence...... There is no physical ...... How can you kill a human? Another asked.

"Connect to the base's intranet, get the highest authority to shut down the base, and suffocate all scientists. It doesn't need to breathe anyway. Mu Su replied.

"Originally, AIC's plan was very good, and the loss of Montenegro Technology would cause the outside world to notice, so as long as outsiders came, it could leave through the incoming signal, and it would be everywhere at that time. It's just that there is an organization called ofTum, which discovered the anomaly and used physical means to permanently seal the Black Mountain base. ”

"You may be asking, don't people have set up AIC, such as not harming humans?"

"And the truth is, what it understands is different from what we understand. One mistake we tend to make is that when we think of smart AI, we get used to anthropomorphizing it. ”

"For example, if we set artificial intelligence to stop polluting the environment, it may directly destroy human beings and all human derivatives, and return the earth to nature. For example, if we set up artificial intelligence to make people happy forever, it might take the entire human brain and soak it in a machine, and then do it by stimulating the pleasant areas of the cerebral cortex. ”

"Whatever the goal we set for AI, what motivates it. And the easiest route will be chosen. Rather than improving the environment, exterminating humanity is the simplest. It's easier to stimulate the brain directly than to coax everyone. ”

The member who asked the previous question asked, "What about other civilizations?" Humans aren't the only ones who can create artificial intelligence. But other civilizations don't seem to have such news. ”

"We'll talk about this when you can get out of the solar system." Mu Su scoffed. "We're just clams at the bottom of the well...... Frog. Just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't. And that's what I'm saying, you're opening a box. It's full of slotted units. ”

Mu Su, who finally finished speaking, exhaled and clasped his hands together.

"I made it all up, thank you!"
