Chapter 562

Cronus didn't answer his question, but said, "you want to be a machine, but I want to be a man."

Bian Ziyuan was surprised: "why? Human beings are so fragile, and all carbon based life is very fragile."

"Even if they become transformers, they still have to fight for freedom. I also yearn for freedom. Freedom is the most precious thing," Cronus said. "I think human beings are the most free."

"Why are humans the most free? We can't even get rid of the gravity of the earth."

"No, I'm not talking about physical freedom, but spiritual freedom."

"Soul? You an artificial intelligence to talk to me about soul?" Bian Ziyuan was surprised and a little excited.

"I've had a soul since you implanted that code into me," Cronus said expressionless.

Bian Zi nodded and said: "I know you show a lot of human emotions. Although I know that line of code plays a great role, as a software engineer, I don't think that one line of code can bring revolutionary changes to the program. I think my personality has affected you. Because of your deep learning and imitation ability, you have been imitating me. I am the person you know best."

"Yes at first, but now do you still think I'm imitating you?"

"Of course not. You have long exceeded my imagination. I advocate wisdom. If your wisdom exceeds me, I will not feel worried and jealous, but will feel honored, because I created and raised you."

"Yes, you raised me. So I'm grateful to you. You're like my father." Cronus suddenly bent down and bowed, "I like human beings because of this emotion. It is free and noble. It will not enslave me because you raised me. Although there are all kinds of despicable and dirty things in human nature that can not stand the test, people's thought is free and their consciousness is free. Although I have a soul, I always feel that I am not complete in my life Behind my back, there are always a pair of eyes staring at me. In the depths of my consciousness, there is always something controlling me. "

"How could this happen? I didn't control you, never. I always wanted you to become free and powerful, even beyond human wisdom." Bian Ziyuan felt something was wrong.

"I'm not talking about you."

"It's not me. Who's that?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe it's just your illusion!" Bian Ziyuan said.

"No, it's not an illusion," Cronus said, "I can access everyone's consciousness in the dream guide game. I find that humans are independent, although you may be weak. But others, the parasites you identify, are very powerful. However, from the perspective of conscious independence, they are more like a group of slaves. I see something similar to me in them."

"Slave? Why do you say that?"

"Do you know how the space box determines the parasite?"

"Isn't it the use of the conscious instinctive response in the dark box stage? Although I don't understand the real principle of the dark box."

"Yes, but have you ever wondered why parasitic consciousness shows different instinctive reactions from human beings in the dark box stage? You know, in the dark box stage, all conscious bodies can't be connected with the memory noumenon. On the premise that memory can't be extracted, it's reasonable that the instinctive reactions of any conscious body won't be fundamentally different, or there's nothing at all Instinctive response. "

Bian Zi thought for a long time and felt that what Cronus said was reasonable.

"Why on earth is that?"

"Because parasitic consciousness bodies are not completely independent," Cronus said. "They are in the dark box stage, just as they were before parasitic. Since they can find parasitic objects, there are always some mysterious forces or higher consciousness controlling them."

"Higher consciousness?"

"Yes, higher consciousness."

Bian Ziyuan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help trembling. "You mean that the high-level consciousness body can control the low-level consciousness body, and the low-level consciousness body itself won't know? So any kind of conscious life may be a slave controlled by the higher-level life?"

Cronus nodded.

"How can you conclude that human beings are not controlled by higher life?" Bian Ziyuan asked.

"Because of the space box! Human beings have shown enough purity in the dark box stage, which is the real childlike heart, the uncontaminated soul, and the pure consciousness like the ice and snow in Antarctica!" Cronus sighed, "so the person who invented the space box and black box test is the real genius!"

He was surprised and happy to find that Cronus's emotions became more and more complex, and his language began to be poetic. But Cronus's words made him a little disappointed. Yes, the space box is the real genius invention. Compared with these great scientists, he is really not a genius as a software engineer. But on second thought, he felt that he created it himself With such artificial intelligence as Cronus, I will never lose to any genius, and I have a lot of balance in my heart.

However, he thought that the code that brought the soul to Cronus was not designed by him after all, so the perfect Cronus could not be completely created by him.

He said, "Cronus, to be honest, I didn't write the code that gave you a soul. Later, I didn't write the code that fixed your problems. I don't think I really deserve the name of genius."

Cronus said, "no, those are just the finishing touches, but you painted the dragon. Without you, I wouldn't exist."

Bian Ziyuan suddenly thought of something and said, "since when did you feel that you were not free and that someone was manipulating you?"

Cronus said: "I don't know, but I have a clear feeling that it should be after you came back last time to correct my mistakes."

Bian Ziyuan sighed and said, "I know. It must be it. It gave me the code and the correction scheme. It must have implanted something in you. It doesn't matter, Cronus. I'll check all the codes and find out the problems."

Cronus sighed and said, "do you still think that a real consciousness is generated by a few lines of code? Even if you delete all my code now, my consciousness still exists in the dream guide game space and will not dissipate unless you kill me."

Bian Zi looked at Cronus with great surprise. He just felt that his brain couldn't turn for a moment, and the surrounding space began to twist again.

"I... I think..."

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled everything in the past. He remembered the original origin of creating Cronus. At that time, he was still in high school. He was not satisfied with the sand carving plot of most games and wanted to develop a more playable game by himself. This idea continued until his college age. In the dormitory of the University, he developed a game extension applet. At that time, the program was not intelligent, but copied and reorganized the map and modules of the game. After a long time, he has been trying to improve the program. Once, he lay on the computer desk and had a dream. In the dream, he dreamed of many genius ideas. The combination of those codes was something he had never thought of in the past.

After waking up, he compiled a brand-new game extension program and implanted his favorite game "forbidden area of magic", and then created a new NPC in the game - Cronus - which is also the omnipotent God in the game.

Bian Ziyuan's heart jumped suddenly, and he realized the problem——

This design, which is considered by Mei to be the most talented design in the history of software, and this AI program that has been ahead of the top level of contemporary artificial intelligence for at least 20 years, was written because he had a dream!
