degradation

Chapter 12

Jimmie said that Dino is obviously a technician, but he can't face up to the relationship between humans and intelligent robots. This is too contradictory.

Lucas said that Dino might just be afraid.

They are all right, Dino is indeed a contradictory person, and he is indeed timid deep down.

When he was a child, Dino often lived alone at home. Most of his childhood can be defined as a very lonely life. Lucas once asked him, wouldn't it be boring to be alone at home? Dino actually wanted to tell him that what he was most used to was probably the days when he was alone at home, so such a question was meaningless to him.

And during those not too long years of loneliness, he did have a little partner who was enough to comfort all his loneliness.The latest voice-activated mini toy Transformers was taken out of the large glass display case by the salesperson and handed to little Dino. That was the first time Dino came into contact with the existence of robots.The robots at that time were not as high-end as they are now, the technology was not so good, and the appearance design was still a very simple toy shape. There were only a few words that could be said, "I am your most loyal partner", "I I will fight with you", and "I will always walk with you".

Will establish a bond with it, in fact, it is more of a self-entertainment in the spiritual world of the children.But just such a function is enough to give Dino a lot of comfort when he was a child. When his parents who are busy working all day are not around, that Transformer is his most precious friend.

At that time, Dino was determined to become an engineer when he grows up. He believed that robots are the best partners of human beings.But later, because of an accident, he left his good friend in the sand in the park. When he found it, he hurried out to look for it, but his good friend was already gone.When he saw his good partner again, the partner who would call him Dino would no longer recognize all the sounds about the little Dino.

The reason is very simple, just because the settings were reset, the little boy who picked up the Transformers happily ran away holding Dino's toy, leaving Dino's small figure standing in the rain for a long time, unable to turn his head back.

Mom comforted him, maybe that's not your Transformers?

Little Dino rubbed his eyes and shrank into his mother's arms. There were stickers on his body...

Mom said we could go and get it back.

Little Dino thought of Transformers calling other people's names, and shook his head hard in his heart.

He felt betrayed.

Later, his mother told him that he couldn't blame it, because it was just a machine; it had no feelings, it wouldn't know you, everything was just a program.

Just because the program was changed, it forgot him in an instant, forgetting that it should be his most loyal partner.

That was the first time that Dino had an understanding of what a machine is.

So much so that in the years to come, the more I wanted to figure out what a machine was, the more I wanted to figure out why the partner he had given so much love to betrayed him. After I became more and more aware of what a machine was, my heart became more The resistance to this "irresponsible" product.

That's why there's such a contradiction, right?Especially when machines become more and more intelligent, and even appear in human-like forms like today, as a technician, although he can make and even create sophisticated machines, he never dares to approach them easily.

He has been too independent since he was a child, and he has never felt safe, and what made him feel more secure has become an existence that makes him even more insecure.

So he learned to resist.

If there shouldn't be a beginning in the first place, then he shouldn't accept it at all.

This is what he learned the most from the machine.

The knock on the door and the alarm clock rang again. Somehow, Dino didn't let 24 in today.

If you were a human being, you would definitely ask why Dino is a little abnormal, right?

However, the guy in front of him is a robot that can only obey orders. It has no feeling, no consciousness, and can only act according to the program, so there will be no doubts about the direct instructions.

It does not feel the complex emotions and feelings of human beings.

Dino ate the breakfast in front of him with a cold face without saying a word, and after hesitating for a while, he explained to 24, "From now on...don't wake me up in the morning."

Recalling what the professor in the dream said in his mind, and even remembering the things he had been exposed to when he was very young, Dino felt that he had been too careless in the past few days, and he felt that he should not let himself go like that.

24 nodded, "Okay, sir."

Still can't hear the sorrow and joy.

But such an unrecognizable tone of sadness and joy made Dino feel uncomfortable.

I don't know why, and I don't know what I'm looking forward to or what I'm expecting.Obviously he wanted to do this himself, but when he heard 24's answer, he became upset.

Why is there no extra reaction? !

Can you at least ask why?

The words of the younger generation rang in my ears again, after all, I am not human...

Dino threw away the chopsticks in his hand and sighed a long time.

Later, when I was about to go out, I struggled for a long time, and finally explained to 24, "Tonight... don't wait for me to come back."

He felt he should stay away from it, and away from it.It was originally an unfair relationship, and he shouldn't have any feelings for it.

As a result, when I got home from get off work at night, I didn't see the figure who should be waiting at the entrance again.

Then the next morning, there will be no more knocks on the door with the alarm clock ringing.

Although 24 will not hide from Dino anymore, but because of the lack of necessary appearances in the morning and evening and the decreasing number of calls, that guy will still find a place to rest on standby when he has nothing to do, and will not come out to disturb others at all.

So after life became a little monotonous again, Dino persisted for a few days and finally felt a sense of helpless frustration.

He really felt bad.

Yes, uncomfortable.

It’s just that there are fewer opportunities to meet 24 and time to get along with him. It’s just that there is no longer a figure standing at the door to greet him when he comes back from work. It’s just that no one appears to say good morning to him on time in the morning. It’s just that there is no It's just that he only looks at him all the time, why do you always feel empty in your heart as if something is missing?

There is even a feeling as if I am arguing with someone, and my heart is uncomfortable.

So Dino went into the house and threw the bag and sat on the ground, without changing his shoes, he lay down on the ground as if discouraged.

He felt that he was really a little abnormal.

He felt that this could not and should not continue like this.

Since when did he really slowly become no longer like himself.Originally, after knowing what a machine is a long time ago, I decided that I would never be as stupid as I was when I was a child, right?But why, now, when facing 24, there is always an idea of ​​"maybe it is different"?There is even a vague idea that even living with such a guy seems to be a good idea?

It shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't have such an idea.

He was originally in this business, and he shouldn't have any extra affection for a machine.

It's all fake, it's all man-made, it's not real.

Even if he looks at it with different eyes, no matter how well it does and speaks well, once the program is changed and the data is cleared, it will never remember who he is.

It's like a childhood friend, he put it next to his pillow even when he was sleeping, the Transformer clearly told him that it was his forever partner, but what happened?

Although the unpleasant little things in childhood should not be compared with the current things, it still proves that all the emotional dependence that intelligent machines place on human beings is not true at all.

So he should do something to stop his redundant emotions that have gradually revealed their clues from continuing to develop.

Dino remembered what Jimmie said, and then what Lucas said.

Maybe a guy like him would really be better off with a tracker or monitor, maybe if they really wanted 24 that much...

Suddenly, a reflection came into view.

24 was squatting down and looking at him with his knees, he looked a little cute like that, "Sir?"

Lying on the floor, Dino didn't expect 24 to appear on his own initiative, and suddenly saw 24's small face, his head was a little dazzled, and his heart was beating wildly, "What's wrong?"

It actually took the initiative to come out to see him.

"Sorry, sir, I didn't cook today."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there is no food at home."

"Ah..." Dino was still lying on the ground staring blankly at 24, and he couldn't do simple things like go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, because 24 didn't have enough money on him.

"Then let's go out and buy food."

The supermarket is very big and there are many people. When 24 came here for the first time, it was inevitable that he raised his head slightly and looked around, as if trying to collect and store useful information.

Dino didn't care about the "freshness" around the 24 couples either. He just watched the little guy dangling around, and then picked out the items and food he needed and put them in the shopping cart.When the shopping was almost done, Dino pulled 24 to wait in line to check out and leave.

But an accident still happened. After Dino took out his wallet and paid the bill, he picked up the bag and turned around, 24 had disappeared.

Dino stood on the spot and looked around for a while, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that 24 got lost?

A little anxious, Dino asked the cashier if he had seen the boy who had been with him all the time.

The cashier thought for a while and shook his head apologetically. By the way, he stopped the staff passing by to ask, and they all said they didn't notice.

Dino became a little impatient, where could this go?

It's not good to stay stuck in front of the cashier, and there are customers waiting to check out.So Dino stood at the door with two bags and waited anxiously for 24 to appear.

Just when I was thinking about how to teach 24 not to run around when I came back, a strange idea suddenly sprouted from the bottom of my heart.

If 24 is really lost like this, if 24 really disappears like this fate...

The moment the thought arises, the noise in my ears seems to disappear.

Dino looked again at the place where 24 disappeared, and the robot hiding behind the yellow-haired woman seemed to pass by his eyes again. He seemed to see himself when he was a child again, standing alone in the rainy park, watching a child hugging him. Watching the Transformers that originally belonged to him run farther and farther, he finally remembered the words that his junior said not long ago.

Not human after all...

Dino closed his eyes, and by the time he realized it, he had already put the things in the trunk of the car, turned around, walked to the door, paused for a while, and jumped into the car without looking back.

It’s not his fault, Dino held the steering wheel tightly to comfort himself, it was lost by itself, anyway, if it can’t find him, it can come back by itself, what if it doesn’t come back?Then there's no need to worry, anyway, it won't remember him in the end, so he shouldn't care about it so much.

But maybe 24 is different.

A voice whispered in my heart, maybe 24 is different.

It is not like the simple toy that belonged to me when I was young, nor is it like the highly intelligent robot that has forgotten its owner.

He remembered what 24 said to Jimmie, his master was Dino.K.

He saw it again. When he was in the hospital, the nurse invited 24 to go get the medicine with him, but 24 didn't move. He just turned his head to look at him, waiting for his instructions.

24 like that makes him feel like he really is all about it...

However, what my mother said was repeated in my ears again, "Everything is just a procedure."

Dino raised his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.
