wandering planet

"Do you think Fei Lian is a special AI?" Song Junxing asked while sitting in a corner of the cockpit, eating tangerine peel beef made by Jiang Che.

Both Linney and Pierre stared at the screen, and they nodded silently.

As the first transfer station in Marseille, the Black Sea transfer station originally had an artificial intelligence system to dispatch all teams.When Song Junxing came to Heihai, although most of the equipment was almost dismantled, apart from the administrator, he was handed over to him by the AI ​​of Heihai.

The AI ​​in the Black Sea is completely a military base management system, cold, flat, without a word of extraneous words.

Song Junxing believes that it is indeed intelligent, but no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with artificial intelligence.

"The AI ​​in Black Sea doesn't look like a human at all." He licked the sesame seeds on his fingertips, "First of all, AI in Black Sea doesn't have a human image. Secondly, AI in Black Sea doesn't chat with me, but Fei Lian asked me yesterday. Did I sleep well? In the end, the Black Sea AI’s mind is filled with data, unlike Fei Lian, who knows everything.”

"Fool, AI has no brains." Lin Ni taunted him, "But you are right, the Black Sea AI is indeed completely different from Fei Lian. Or should I say, Fei Lian is different from all the AIs we have come into contact with."

Linney and Pierre received a complete education at the Marseille Aerospace Academy, and both had contact with the AI ​​​​on the ship.Pierre himself is the navigator of the ship. Although civilian ships like Faust are generally not equipped with AI, he has had close contact with artificial intelligence on the ship where Faust practiced before.Although Linney did not graduate, he was the son of General Lee Swright after all.All of General Lee Swright's cars, even his home, are equipped with highly intelligent AI.

Neither Linney nor Pierre had ever seen such a peculiar artificial intelligence as Fei Lian.

The AI ​​in Linney's home is named Senna, and its simulated image is a middle-aged man with red hair.That is already the most human-like AI that Linney has ever seen: he will watch Cicero and Linney holding hands to go to school at the door, and ask Linney, who has just entered elementary school, "has he made new friends"? , He will also give suggestions when Linney attends the college ball. After all, there are hundreds of millions of complicated data stored in his mind, so it is no problem to help Linney choose a dress that suits his figure and temperament.

Song Junxing couldn't help reminding Lin Ni, who was immersed in memories: "AI has no brains."

Lin Ni coughed lightly, and continued without hearing it, "But Senna will not make meaningless actions. All his words and actions have been calculated and are the result of programming."

He rubbed his nose.

Pierre raised his hand and scratched his chin.

They have seen these two movements in Fei Lian.

These are nonsensical movements—movements that, at least to an AI, have absolutely no interpretable procedural meaning.

But it's different for humans.Nervous, shy, embarrassed, cramped... These two actions can explain too many meanings.

So Fei Lian looked too human, like someone who actually existed.His maker cleverly reproduced the characteristics of a certain prototype character on the AI ​​"Fei Lian".

"He can still laugh, and he laughs inexplicably." Song Junxing said, "I've never seen AI laugh when seeing Lin Ni and I quarreling. Fei Lian's smile is so amazing that Tang Mo was dumbfounded. "

Linney also remembered what happened in the cockpit not long ago.

At that time, Song Junxing was lying on the table watching him draw the star map, lying on his stomach, directly on his arm.Lin Ni felt that it was easy, so he raised his hand and punched Song Junxing. Song Junxing dodged quickly and dodged to the side, but he didn't notice Tang Mo who was chatting with Pierre behind him, and knocked him to the ground.Lin Ni thinks that Song Junxing does not have eyes in the back of his head, so he should be scolded; Song Junxing thinks that Lao Tzu does not have eyes in the back of his head, so why scold me.

The two were quarreling, and the rest of the people were used to it, talking and laughing as usual.Fei Lian stood aside, looked at the two of them, and suddenly smiled.

What laughing?

Song Junxing asked him at that time.

"You are not really arguing." Fei Lian observed Song Junxing and Lin Ni's faces back and forth, "You are not angry with each other, but your heartbeat is calm and your emotions are high. Although scolding each other, but the smile is sincere."

Song Junxing heard him say a whole book, and wondered: "So what? Why are you laughing?"

Fei Lian patted his face. "I don't know," he said, "but my programming tells me that at this moment, I should laugh, that I should blend in with you."

"Who would come up with such a setting?" Song Junxing stuffed a handful of beef strips into his mouth, handed the rest to Pierre, and said inarticulately, "The program set by Fei Lian's maker is too Strange. They seem to be teaching Fei Lian to... learn to socialize."

Pierre began to eat beef strips slowly: "Tang Mo told me yesterday that two of the vegetables we planted died soon after they grew. Fei Lian squatted in the cultivation room with her for a long time, growing fruit all the time. Stutter to comfort her."

Lin Ni and Song Junxing glanced subconsciously.

This is indeed very strange.They remembered many things about Fei Lian that were completely different from other AIs.

"It may be that Fei Lian is very good, or it may be that the artificial intelligence technology 500 years ago is different from the current Marseille." Lin Ni whispered, "Or, more likely, Fei Lian's maker consciously created a An AI that can socialize with people and is trying to mimic human emotional expression."

Song Junxing swallowed the beef in his mouth, wiped his fingers on his clothes, and slid to Lin Ni on the chair.

"Do you remember what Fei Lian said? His parents, who were his creators, had no chance to board the ship of the 'Great Retreat'." Song Junxing leaned over to Lin Ni and said, "How is this possible? I heard Jiang When Che said it, he felt that something was wrong. At that time, all the experts in the world who could independently develop and manufacture artificial intelligence were all recruited into the "Great Retreat". Human beings must preserve this part of their power, and they cannot leave these precious scientific researchers. Earth."

Lin Ni nodded: "I've thought about this too. So, either the creators of Fei Lian refused to board the ship, or they made a huge mistake and couldn't board the ship at all. Maybe there are two reasons , did not want to leave Earth, and made a serious mistake."

"What's wrong?" Pierre also leaned over and asked.

Lin Ni thought for a while: "Judging from Fei Lian's behavior, I suspect that his creator violated the code of ethics for artificial intelligence and embedded human thinking and emotions into the AI ​​system."

"...Is this possible?" Both Song Junxing and Pierre didn't quite understand, "It's okay to think about the way of thinking, but can feelings... Can feelings be transformed into machines?"

"No matter the way of thinking or emotion, it is the result of the brain's reaction. In fact, emotion is also a kind of logic. Whatever happens, it will cause happiness, anger, sadness or guilt. There are traces to follow. It is not so mysterious. Artificial intelligence Uh, manufacturing has been subject to various restrictions from the very beginning, one of which is that they should resemble people, but they must not be too human-like. This code has criteria for judging, although I don’t know what the criteria are... But like Fei Lian That, obviously, has passed. He's so human."

Song Junxing hesitated for a moment, then asked Pierre: "Did Fei Lian say anything related to this? What mistakes did his maker make?"

Lin Ni immediately remembered what Jiang Che relayed.

— "Because they made me."

——"I'm too good."

"It's actually not very accurate to say that it was made." Fei Lian communicated with Jiang Che in Chinese. "More precisely, they gave birth to me, and then made me."

Jiang Che's mind hadn't turned the corner yet: "Bring you?"

"Ranran is my biological mother." Fei Lian replied in a low voice.The young man stood in front of Jiang Che, and the holographic projection equipment covering every corner of the ship completely presented his figure in front of his eyes.Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Fei Lian is very young. Although he never has any expression on his face, no matter how serious he is, he can't suppress his immaturity.He pushed the glasses on his face, and this action caused his hair to flick slightly, revealing dark red eyes.

Jiang Che had long wanted to ask him why his eyes were dark red.The color of the eyeballs is too abrupt, and it is the most unhuman part of Fei Lian's body.

But except for his eyes, every other detail of him is almost perfect.He has a tall and straight figure and a handsome appearance. Although his personality is not smooth enough, he is always polite and not offensive.

Whoever made him must love him very much.Jiang Che thought to himself, they created such a perfect image and endowed Phoenix with a loyal soul.

"On the Phoenix, I am an AI, and my name is Fei Lian." He answered Jiang Che's question softly, "The prototype of Fei Lian is a child named Zhang Xiaochen. I have exactly the same appearance as him."

Jiang Che finally understood.

"Zhang Xiaochen is an arbitrary child. He created you arbitrarily, and then gave you the appearance of his own child."

He thought he understood.Fei Lian is undoubtedly the best work of Anyan and her team, and it is not difficult to understand that she chose to make this work have the same appearance as her own child.

"Zhang Xiaochen should also be an excellent child, just like you, healthy and happy, and should still be studying at this age." Jiang Che said, "I copied him on you."

"It's not outstanding. He was 16 years old at the time..." The young man with soft eyes was a little nervous, as if he was revealing a big secret, but his tone was as calm and calm as usual, "...is an absolutely impossible Autistic people entering the 'Great Retreat'."
