Chapter 377 How to be sure that you are alive?

"Do you have any tricks?" Lin Shen couldn't think of any way to escape from the ancient city under the sea, so he could only look at Ouyang Yudu.

Ouyang Yudu shook his head honestly, and then comforted Lin Shen: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. The Thinker must have his own intentions to keep us here. We might as well ask him."

"Is this okay?" Lin Shen was doubtful.

"Do you have a better way?" Ouyang Yudu asked back.

"Then let's ask him." Lin Shen turned around to open the door.

The Thinker on the top of the tower must have seen them, and there was no need to wait until now to kill them. Ouyang Yudu's sincere trick was not unreasonable.

"We have no intention of offending, and it was an unintentional mistake to break into the ancient city. If you need us to do anything, the two of us will do our best." Lin Shen stood inside the door and shouted to the statue of the Thinker.

He was not afraid to go out, but he could not shout out because there was fire liquid outside.

After shouting, Lin Shen looked at the statue of the Thinker on the top of the tower eagerly. After waiting for a long time, the statue of the Thinker did not respond at all.

"Is it because we shouted in this room that he could not hear us?" Lin Shen looked at Ouyang Yudu and said.

"I think you should be more sincere." Ouyang Yudu said.

"How am I not sincere? I am obviously very sincere. How about you come and see how sincere you are?" Lin Shen made way for the door.

Ouyang Yudu walked to the door and shouted to the outside: "We want to leave here. How can we leave here alive?"

Lin Shen did not think that Ouyang Yudu was more sincere than him, but after Ouyang Yudu finished speaking, the statue of the Thinker on the top of the tower actually opened his eyes again and looked at the small building where they were.

"It is very simple to leave here alive. I have a question that I can't figure out. If you can answer this question, you can leave alive." The statue actually spoke.

"Ouyang, you can do it!" Lin Shen was overjoyed and gave Ouyang Yudu a thumbs up.

But he still couldn't figure out why he was not sincere.

"Can you tell us what the problem is?" Ouyang Yudu continued to shout.

"Can you tell me whether I am alive or dead?" The statue slowly said.

Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu were both stunned when they heard this question. What kind of question is this?

"Of course I am alive, otherwise how can you communicate with me?" Ouyang Yudu said.

"If I am just a set intelligent program with a huge database, I can naturally communicate with you, and I will know a lot of things you don't know, but this does not mean that I am alive. Maybe I am just a cold intelligent machine, just doing things according to the program, which cannot tell whether I am alive or dead." The statue said.

"Do you have joy, anger, decline, or happiness?" Ouyang Yudu asked again.

"Yes." The statue gave a positive answer.

"If you have emotions, you are alive, and intelligent programs have no emotions." Ouyang Yudu said.

"Emotions are just a reaction mechanism. How do you know that your emotions are not a set reaction mechanism?" The statue continued, "When you encounter happy things, you will be happy and laugh; when you encounter sad things, you will feel uncomfortable; these are mechanisms that are easy to set. How can you judge that your emotions are not controlled by the mechanism?"

Ouyang Yudu was speechless for a while. What the statue said seemed to make sense. How did he know that his emotional reaction was his own reaction? Rather than a reaction controlled by the mechanism?

"When you receive external signals, such as tension, fear, excitement, etc., your body will secrete adrenaline. This mechanism will make your heart beat faster, your breathing quicken, your blood flow speed up, and your pupils dilate. These reactions are all your body's reaction mechanisms. What is the difference between them and machines?"

"You will feel very happy when you eat delicious food; you will also feel a sense of accomplishment when you achieve something; a successful confession will make you feel happy; but after you do these things, it is dopamine that affects your body and makes you feel these pleasures, which is also the reward given to you by the reaction mechanism."

"So all your emotions are just reaction mechanisms. Why do you think you are a living creature? Rather than a machine with intelligent programs?"

The words of the statue made Ouyang Yu fall into deep thought.

He thought for a long time, and suddenly shook his head helplessly and said, "I really have no way to prove that I am a living creature, but I feel that I am alive."

"Feelings cannot be an answer." The statue said calmly.

"He sits on the top of the tower all day, is he just thinking about these questions? Where are the answers to such questions? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us?" Lin Shen was secretly depressed.

He couldn't figure out how to judge whether the Thinker was a living creature. The definition of being alive by ordinary people is that the body is alive.

But if you think about it carefully, the flesh and blood of human beings may also be a very sophisticated biochemical machine, just different from the structure of ordinary machines, which cannot prove that humans are not intelligent machines.

The two people thought about it in the room for a long time. The more they thought, the more they felt that this problem had no solution. They really couldn't think of how to prove that they were different from intelligent machines.

Can touch prove that you are alive? According to the theory of the Thinker, this is just a feedback mechanism.

Can past life memories prove that you are alive? Of course not, memory may be implanted. Even if the memory is not implanted, having past memories does not prove that you are not an intelligent machine.

Artificial intelligence can remember more things. Does that mean it is not an intelligent machine? Obviously not.

"Living creatures can reproduce and continue their own bloodline." Lin Shen thought for a while and said.

"When intelligent machines develop to a certain level, as long as a manufacturing system is added inside, or a system similar to gene cloning, it can also achieve the reproduction and blood inheritance you mentioned. This is not difficult, as long as It can be done with sufficiently advanced technology.”

The meditator continued: "You just put your genetic information into a machine that makes a body. How can you be sure that your so-called reproduction is not a process of making a new intelligent machine?"

Lin Shen was speechless when asked, who can prove this thing?

"Life will make mistakes. Intelligent machines can only operate according to the mechanism and will not make mistakes." After pondering for a long time, Ouyang Yu finally spoke again.

"Is it possible that if you are intelligent machines, the intelligent program running in your body is a program with lots of bugs left by a bitch? There is a lot of garbage and useless code in it that seems to be of no use. I can barely run the program, but there are often some errors. If I'm lucky, I can keep running. If I'm not lucky, there will be some errors that don't affect the continued use of the program. Some of them can be self-repaired, or they can be corrected after making mistakes. After that, those errors that cannot be repaired are manifested as bad habits or terminal diseases that cannot be corrected. If there are errors that affect the operation of the program and make the program completely unable to run, that is the end of your life. The death of understanding.”

Lin Shen and Ouyang Yuyang were stunned. The more they listened, the more they felt that they really looked like an intelligent machine.
