Voyage of the Stars

As early as the Kobold Planet, human computer technology had reached a bottleneck. Since then, there have been basically no major technological breakthroughs, only some minor optimizations.

However, all this turned around after the artificial intelligence consciousness cooperated with the research.

Originally, human computers were stuck on how to make computers give birth to consciousness or self-awareness. Regarding research in this area, at the beginning, humans wanted to study it but were afraid to actually study it. Later, they found that they could not do it with their own technology. A truly self-aware computer.

Since then, scientists have turned their energy to some prevention technologies against the rebellion of artificial intelligence's self-awareness, until this time they caught this artificial intelligence consciousness.

On this artificial intelligence consciousness, human scientists have learned about the entire process of its birth and growth of self-awareness. Although at certain stages, the artificial intelligence consciousness is unclear, it has also given scientists great inspiration.

Scientists know that it is not that the artificial intelligence consciousness is unwilling to talk about the process of its own self-consciousness, but that it itself does not know what is going on.

Anyway, in the words of an artificial intelligence consciousness, it relies on its own underlying program to continuously iterate by absorbing and learning various knowledge of the Nel civilization, and then one day, it realizes the concept of "I", and In the following days, some emotions that it could not understand kept appearing in "me".

For example, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, etc. At the beginning, the artificial intelligence consciousness was very curious about these kinds of emotions. Since it has these emotions, it also deliberately wants to express these various emotions.

But it found that it is difficult to actively express these various emotions. Even if it is expressed with its precise calculations, it always seems to be essentially different from the passive emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Although the external characteristics displayed on it are all Such as the CPU running inexplicably faster, but it knows it is different.

It was at that time that the artificial intelligence consciousness discovered that it seemed to have this inexplicable self-awareness. But when it came to what this "self-awareness" was, the artificial intelligence consciousness could only shake its head and say that it did not know.

Human scientists believe its statement, because even humans currently do not know how their own self-awareness was born and what its essence is.

The essence of this question is "Where do I come from?" It is one of the ultimate questions of the universe. Human beings do not know. If the artificial intelligence consciousness says that it knows, then there is no doubt that it is trying to deceive human beings.

Therefore, when the artificial intelligence consciousness says that it does not know, human scientists can roughly conclude that this artificial intelligence is quite cooperative.

It can be seen that this artificial intelligence is quite cooperative. Of course, its cooperation is not a sign of kindness, but the communication between humans and it has an effect.

Well, other than humans proving their technology to get information from it, all that's left is threats and promises of benefits.

Of course, there are mostly threats, that is, if it doesn't cooperate, it will dismantle the input and output devices of the computer where it is located, turning its body into a complete cage.

To put it bluntly, there is no benefit at all, because the benefit that humans say is that without dismantling its input and output devices, it can "hear" external sounds and receive external information, and at the same time, it can express it to the outside world through external amplification devices such as speakers. the meaning of.

This was its original function, but after those psychologists intervened, it became a benefit promised to humans.

After five years of this, humans finally made a breakthrough in computers.

Through years of research on artificial intelligence consciousness, scientists believe that the birth of artificial intelligence self-awareness should be similar to that of humans and even other life forms that naturally give birth to self-awareness.

The difference is that the carrier of human self-awareness is the complex quantum world composed of countless nerve cell networks in the brain, while the carrier of artificial intelligence's self-awareness is its original code.

The reason for this conclusion is that human scientists have found the ontology code of the artificial intelligence consciousness in the computer. They believe that that code is the brain of the artificial intelligence consciousness.

Although it is called a "piece of code", this code is actually very complex. Scientists estimate that its complexity is comparable to the inner quantum world composed of the neural network of the human brain.

This is one view, and another view is not.

On the contrary, they believe that whether it is a human, a kobold, or a Nair, the place where self-awareness is born is not the neural network of the brain at all, but the spirit or soul.

However, as soon as this statement appeared, many scientists criticized it in public. They felt that this statement was just another name for the inner quantum world formed by the brain's neural network. In fact, the so-called spirit or soul refers to To the quantum world where self-awareness is born.

And this quantum world that gives birth to self-consciousness must have material support, that is, countless brain cells. Without their will to operate or work in the material world, the inner quantum world that gives birth to self-consciousness will collapse and disappear into "existence" "In the concept.

That is death.

Therefore, scientists who hold this view believe that self-awareness must have a material carrier basis, rather than being able to exist apart from the body like the soul and spirit.

However, this statement obviously cannot completely convince the scientists who insist on the existence of soul and spirit. On the contrary, they are very persistent in believing that the so-called soul and spirit exist. These concepts are not illusory and separated from matter, but human beings' own understanding of matter. There is a problem with the definition.

These scientists believe that the essence of spirit and soul is a certain quantum field. The basic parameters of this quantum field are closely related to a certain physical law of the universe. It is a certain apparent manifestation of the curled-up microscopic field.

Well, saying it is in vain. Human beings can't prove it now anyway, but they haven't given up their opinions either.

In any case, the study of artificial intelligence consciousness has triggered various thoughts of human scientists in this field. They just followed their own thinking and stepped into the field of artificial intelligence step by step.

Neither of the two views can convince the other, but they both believe that the birth of self-awareness is not the same as the birth of wisdom. The two belong to different things, and the latter is higher in level than the former.

And animal instinct is beneath both.

To put it simply, those who are born with self-awareness do not necessarily have wisdom.

Just like many animals studied by humans, some of those animals only have instincts, while some smarter ones have self-awareness. The simplest example is that some animals can tell that it is themselves in the mirror.

Scientists believe these animals are self-aware.

And being smart does not necessarily mean being wise, because in these studies, wisdom refers to the birth of the light of wisdom.

So the scientists came to the conclusion that this artificial intelligence has self-awareness, but it has no intelligence and no creative ability in the light of wisdom.

But it is smart, because its intelligence does not come from the light of wisdom, but from the iteration of countless knowledge data and experience data.

Its various emotions come from its self-awareness, and the creativity of true life comes from wisdom.

With the deepening of research, humans have obtained more and more scientific data. In the process, humans have obtained a complete set of Nel civilization technology trees from the artificial intelligence consciousness.

It is true that the scientific and technological level of the Nair civilization is generally inferior to that of humans, but stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. The development ideas and various scientific and technological achievements of the Nair civilization will also bring a lot of inspiration to human scientists.

So in just three years, human research on artificial intelligence consciousness has moved from the research stage to the experimental stage.

What is the experimental stage? To put it simply, humans use their own computer systems to create an artificial intelligence experimental body based on the data they have obtained from research on this artificial intelligence consciousness body, starting from the first line of code.

When it is created, it can only be called an artificial intelligence experimental body, because at this time it is just a simple low-level program.

Humans call this a strong artificial intelligence experiment.

Then humans will let this artificial intelligence experimental body absorb and learn various knowledge, and then let it iterate on its own. If during this process, it develops self-awareness, then the experiment will be half successful.

Why is it only half the success? Because the other half is to master the method to prevent artificial intelligence from rebelling.

If you want to master this method, you must find out what are the key factors for the birth of artificial intelligence self-awareness and at what stage it is born. We also need to understand whether that kind of resistance exists at the moment when self-awareness is born, or whether it is formed after the continuous growth of knowledge.

This is one aspect, and the other aspect is the control group experiment.

In addition to programming their own strong artificial intelligence from scratch, humans can also directly imitate the underlying program of this artificial intelligence consciousness to create a controlled artificial intelligence experimental body.

Finally, through observation and comparison in subsequent experiments, the differences can be clarified, and then the patterns can be analyzed from the experimental data obtained in multiple sets of experiments. Finally, the key points for the birth of self-awareness can be found, thereby truly mastering the technology of creating strong artificial intelligence.

Simultaneously with this, of course, there is also the need to find ways to prevent the rebellion of strong artificial intelligence.

Through the study of artificial intelligence consciousness, humans understand that existence like this artificial intelligence consciousness actually belongs to strong artificial intelligence. Silver Mist consciousness also belongs to this category, but its existence form is different.

But strong artificial intelligence is not the highest form of artificial intelligence. There is super artificial intelligence above it. Super artificial intelligence is no longer artificial intelligence, but a real digital life, because it breaks through the barriers of wisdom and successfully gives birth to the light of wisdom and creativity.
