Chapter 117 Curiosity of the Intelligent Brain
Ji Feng looked at the intellectual brain, feeling somewhat uncertain about it.
At this moment, it was obvious that the intellectual brain was beginning to feel curious. Although it seemed that the intellectual brain was only slightly curious about its appearance, with the pa.s.sage of time, would the intellectual brain have a richer self-awareness?
For example, would a brain be like a normal person, with all sorts of thoughts?
Admittedly, the current intellectual brain also has its own unique thinking, but in reality, this kind of thinking was only something that was originally set in the program. In other words, the current thinking of the intellectual brain is only a kind of completely logical thinking that the creator of the intellectual brain gave it.
This was the same logic as when a computer program was running. Because of this program, the intellectual brain could think and act, such as having a conversation with oneself, teaching oneself all kinds of theoretical knowledge, and so on.
To put it more bluntly, the current AI should only have a rational mind. In other words, if the program was set to one plus one equals two, then the AI would know that it was like this. However, why would it be equal to two?
But now it was different. The intellectual brain began to become curious and began to imitate …
This was the manifestation of having one's own consciousness!
It was as if an ignorant child had become curious about this world and began to imitate the movements of an adult.
Simply put, this should be called subjective thinking, or emotional awareness.
This was quite surprising.
Right now, the intellectual brain was only beginning to develop this self-awareness that was like that of a child. Then, would this consciousness gradually grow in the future?
Then, just like a normal person, its mind would become clearer, more mature, and finally possess its own thoughts?
Ji Feng stared blankly at the AI, his heart full of bewilderment and bewilderment.
The reason why he trusted the AI so much right now was because the AI was just an artificial intelligence. Although the technology of artificial intelligence was much better than that in the entire world, it was, after all, just a program.
But if one day, the AI becomes something with an independent mind and consciousness, can I still trust it completely and unconditionally?
Ji Feng was slightly uncertain …
"Master, are you going to start today's training?" The intellectual brain asked.
"Wait a moment!"
Ji Feng waved his hand and stared at the intellectual brain's oval 'body' for a while. Then, he asked, "Intellectual brain, I remember you saying just now that it's because I'm providing too much energy that you're thinking of changing your appearance and imitating my appearance. It's just that you didn't succeed, right?"
The intellectual brain immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, master."
"Ugh!"
Ji Feng nodded, and immediately asked, "Then explain in detail what kind of energy I provided you, and how?"
In regards to this question, Ji Feng was extremely concerned.
He was very curious, how did he supply the so called abundant energy to the intellectual brain? Ji Feng had to thoroughly understand the cause and effect of this whole matter, as well as the entire process, otherwise, he would be worried that another 'person' would appear in his mind. At that time, that feeling would be a little awkward.
Moreover, in Ji Feng's impression, he had never provided any sort of energy. However, the intellectual brain said that not only did he provide energy, but he also had a lot of energy?
Hearing Ji Feng's question, the AI replied, "Master, it's like this. The AI # 1 itself has sufficient power. Even if it has no power, there will be specialized personnel to repair it or recharge it …"
Ji Feng nodded, he understood this point.
The AI system was very straightforward, just like a computer running. However, the battery could not support the computer running for a long period of time, so after using it for a period of time, it would need to be recharged.
Although the intellectual brain was a high-tech product of the Gamma System, the amount of energy it carried was obviously not something that the batteries of ordinary computers on Earth could compare to. However, this energy wasn't unlimited, so it needed to be repaired and recharged after it ran out of energy.
"According to the original design's standards, AI # 1 could survive on its own for 300 years or longer …" The intellectual brain said.
"That long?"
Ji Feng was taken aback. He had already overestimated the technology of the Gama System, but he never thought that the power contained in the intellectual brain could be used for more than three hundred years?
This was indeed quite shocking!
"However, the survival time of most AI programs far exceeds the design standards. Of course, since the models are different, the setting standards of various programs are different as well." The intellectual brain explained.
"Then your energy …" Ji Feng suspiciously asked as he looked at the intellectual brain.
"Master, did you forget, when the intellectual brain came to Earth, most of the energy was already consumed." The intellectual brain said.
"Look at my brain!"
Ji Feng immediately slapped his forehead. Even though he was only conscious in this training s.p.a.ce, everything felt so real here, even his forehead. Ji Feng suddenly slapped his forehead, even though he was only conscious in this training s.p.a.ce, but everything felt so real here.
Ji Feng asked, "Intellectual brain, the energy you're talking about is actually the biological electric current in my body, right?"
"Yes, master!" The intellectual brain nodded.
"You can automatically absorb the bioelectric current in my body?" Ji Feng asked.
"Yes, Master."
"Then …"
Ji Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "Because my cultivation level is getting higher and higher, and I have been practicing and improving everyday, the bioelectric current in my body is getting higher and higher, so the energy I provide is getting stronger and stronger. That's why you can feel the energy flowing through your body, right?"
The intellectual brain responded, "Master is right!"
So that was the case...
No wonder the intellectual brain said that it was full of energy. It was because his cultivation level was increasing, that the biological current in his body was constantly increasing, and the intellectual brain could automatically absorb the biological current.
Now that he thought about it, did this self-awareness that gradually appeared in the intellectual brain have a direct relationship with the growth of his cultivation level?
Ji Feng contemplated.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come up with anything, so he stopped thinking about it and asked, "Intellectual brain, do you want to become my appearance?"
"You want to?"
The voice of the intellectual brain was somewhat puzzled, as if it didn't understand what Ji Feng was saying.
"That's right. Do you want to become like me?" Ji Feng asked.
"I want to..."
The state of the intellectual brain seemed to be a bit unstable as it said, "Master, the data in the database is insufficient. According to the data, the first intellectual brain has to run according to the program, so it is impossible to understand what 'want' is."
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows, "If you want to think about it, you have to... A wish. For example, why did you change your shape? "
The intellectual brain said, "Becoming the same as master."
"That's what you think." "Can you feel it?"
"..." The intellectual brain seemed to be unable to understand and finally said, "Master, the data is insufficient …"
Ji Feng already understood that the intellectual brain had yet to produce a sense of self. In other words, his consciousness had just begun to form, just like a baby.
This kind of self-awareness was still very weak. The behavior of the intellectual brain was still in the most basic stage of curiosity. Moreover, this curiosity was still very hazy.
As for the stronger sense of self, it had yet to be born.
This made Ji Feng feel relieved, but at the same time, he secretly paid attention to the situation. It seemed that the intellectual brain was gradually developing a self-awareness, which was something that had already happened a long time ago.
At first, the intellectual brain only spoke very stiff words, but later on it began to speak very human-like words. That tone almost made Ji Feng occasionally think that it was talking to a friend.
Until now, the intellectual brain had become curious and could imitate it …
If they continued to develop, would the intellectual brain develop that sort of mature self-awareness?
Ji Feng did not dare to answer this question with certainty. However, even if he were to ask the intellectual brain, it would probably not know of it. Or rather, it didn't even realize that it was becoming different from before. It was producing a consciousness that belonged to it …
Ji Feng suddenly thought, if the intellectual brain really had its own unique consciousness, then, not to mention, if there was a person living in his mind, wouldn't it be very awkward? Just how should he communicate with the intellectual brain, or would the intellectual brain be like this, loyal to his service, with him as the center of attention?
Ji Feng had no answer to any of these questions, and he had no way to answer them.
As for what to do, Ji Feng had yet to figure out.
However, the first thing he could be sure of was that if he let the intellectual brain leave him now, Ji Feng would not be willing to part with it. It was not because he could not bear to part with the vast amount of knowledge contained in the database, nor was it because he could not bear to part with the technological information contained within it. It was just that he could not bear to part with the little thing known as the intellectual brain!
To Ji Feng, the intellectual brain had a special meaning.
Because that was when Ji Feng's life was at its worst and when he was at his worst, the intellectual brain coincidentally appeared.
It could be said that the appearance of the intellectual brain had changed Ji Feng's life so that he wouldn't fall into despair for the rest of his life. If the intellectual brain was a 'person', then it would be a great favor to Ji Feng.
The debt of grat.i.tude was indescribable!
Moreover, in the past few years, Ji Feng and the intellectual brain could be said to be together from morning to night. He had long gotten used to the existence of this little thing in his mind, and because the intellectual brain did not have its own thoughts, Ji Feng would usually chat with the intellectual brain and say things that he could not say in front of others.
If they were to say that they were leaving the intellectual brain, or the intellectual brain was leaving … Ji Feng's heart would probably feel empty, he didn't know what it was like!
