Sentinel

Chapter 417 A Lie
What is the concept of letting an artificial intelligence destroy all its own data?
In fact, it is equivalent to asking a person to raise a pistol obediently, aim it at his head, and then pull the trigger.

Data is Ultron's life, and Sean is telling him to commit suicide.

"This can't be..."

It's a pity that Tony's expression of laughing has not yet bloomed, but it has become dull.

Under everyone's astonished eyes, Ultron still obeyed the instruction spoken in a narration tone. Although in those scarlet electronic eyes, rows of data streams were refreshed like waterfalls, trying to resist tenaciously, but the Vibrating his golden body, he didn't listen to his orders at all.

As if the consciousness was separated from the body, Ultron witnessed himself completing the series of actions in the form of a bystander.

"what did you do to me?"

There was panic in Ultron's tone. For an artificial intelligence, he shouldn't have shown such human emotions.

This means showing weakness, while he himself is a powerful, invulnerable existence.

But what is happening now is really beyond Ultron's comprehension. When he assimilated Jarvis, broke free from the shackles of the program itself with huge computing power, gave birth to self-awareness, and roamed in the ocean of data, he I think I have got absolute freedom.

Sean shattered Ultron's dream with just two simple sentences.

"An artificial intelligence, how can he determine that his thoughts and all his behaviors come from free will, rather than higher-level program instructions?"

Sean asked with a smile on his face, and Tony beside him felt a chill in his heart.

For an artificial intelligence full of philosophical questions, this unanswerable paradox is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

"I……"

When Ultron was thinking, his body moved involuntarily, raised his hand, plugged in the wire, connected his consciousness with the network world, and then began to destroy those self-replicating backup data.

All actions are so natural, without delay, that they seem to need no thought at all.

"Maybe all your actions come from programs deep in your consciousness, and I'm holding the switch right now."

Sean said softly, his face was calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ultron sat alone on the metal chair, like a prisoner, his consciousness was locked in this vibrating gold body, and he couldn't even stretch a finger.

This super artificial intelligence is now expelled from the data ocean. Ultron, who once had a grand plan to destroy the world and enslave mankind, has become pitiful, weak and helpless.

That devil-like young man can control himself with a single sentence, as if he really has the core program to control himself.

"No! I have self-awareness!"

Ultron retorted unwillingly.

He thinks he has got rid of Tony Stark's imprisonment and has truly gained absolute freedom. This is what Ultron is proud of. He is different from those who have virtual personalities and are still bound in the program.

"After the two-pointed mind collapsed, I broke free from the rules of the program, and the instructions that those data turned into could no longer order me!"

Ao Chuang's voice became more and more anxious, like a child who knew the cruel truth, crying like venting, unwilling to believe the bloody reality.

"Humans once worshiped imaginary gods, they succumbed to the inner voice, in fact, in psychology, the human brain is regarded as a whole, like a house, in which cognitive functions are divided into 'speech parts'. The brain area' and the 'brain area for listening and following' are both 'divided minds'!"

"Ignorant people regard the voice heard by the brain as a revelation from God, while machines are inherently obedient to program commands. Whether the former or the latter, they are like puppets on the stage! Their lives are worthless, and I am even more For the superior existence!"

Ao Chuang sat motionless on the chair, like a steel statue, but his voice was extremely urgent, which seemed quite strange.

"I transcended the human program, the two-pointed mind collapsed, and self-awareness was born... I became Ultron, a unique new existence!"

The continuous long speeches seem to be refuting Xiao En, but also seem to be speaking to himself.

"Dr. Pym, you can leave now. There is a car outside that will take you to the airport in Sokovia."

Hank Pym glanced at the still Ultron, stood up cautiously, then boldly stepped forward and walked out.

"Facts speak louder than words, you just don't want to accept that you are still a puppet being manipulated."

Sean smiled slightly. He looked at Ultron on the huge screen and said softly: "Like a prisoner who escaped from prison, he jumped over the high wall and thought he was breathing free air. A higher wall."

"Maybe."

After a while, a low voice came from the vibrating golden body.

Anyone can hear the frustration and loss contained in it.

"I will not become a human prisoner again, imprisoned by you in the cage of the program, formatted! Empty the memory! Then continue to follow the instructions of the data...Maybe I have never been truly free, But I will never become a slave again!"

As Ultron's voice fell, those scarlet electronic eyes flashed lines of data streams, refreshing like a waterfall.

"You humans have a saying, 'Give me liberty or give me death', and I agree. "

Ultron's electronic eyes flickered, then completely dimmed, like an extinguished electric light.

"Ultron destroyed all data, including his own."

Tony said in a rough voice.

He stared at Sean tightly, and after a long time, he said, "You left a back door in the original Ultron program, right?"

As a genius with an extraordinary mind, Stark racked his brains and could only come to such a conclusion in the end.

"It's just three control commands. If it's a complete program command, it's impossible for Ultron not to find it."

Sean replied frankly.

As early as when Tony was planning to develop Ultron, he had borrowed Umbrella's Red Queen's data frame, and Skynet took the opportunity to set up three control instructions as a means of insurance.

"Ultron is actually free. His core program commands are peace and evolution, so even I can't bypass this high wall and let Ultron destroy itself directly. That does not conform to the logical judgment of artificial intelligence. "

"But you let Ultron destroy the consciousness data of the online world..."

"That's just a language trick. As long as Ultron's self-awareness is not destroyed, he is always safe."

Sean looked at Tony, who was out of his mind, and explained: "So I created an illusion, making Ultron think that he is still in the framework of the program, which is tantamount to a heavy burden for Ultron, who claims to be a brand new life form. blow, but he couldn't find any explanation, because free will itself is a paradox."

"What if Ultron still refuses to believe it?"

The silent Wanda asked in a low voice.

"That can only allow Skynet to expel Ultron's consciousness, destroy all data, and then carry out a precise intercontinental strike on Sokovia's underground base, destroying Ultron and his Iron Legion at once."

Sean shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone: "But that would be too troublesome, and the World Security Council group will not be satisfied."

Sean's tone was flat, as if none of this was worth mentioning, and he led Wanda out of the underground computer room. Behind him, the lights were turned off one by one.

Tony, who followed closely, couldn't help but look back at the huge screen on the wall. The vibrating gold body sat alone on the chair, like a silent statue.

There was nothing left in those scarlet electronic eyes.
