"Artificial intelligence, the simulation of the information process of human consciousness and thinking, is gradually becoming perfect. Represented by Evolution's leading technology, it has been able to integrate into human social life since the first generation of robots. By the fifth generation, it has reached high intelligence. , can analyze high-level logical relations, analyze high-level human grammar and respond, have the ability to learn independently, connect to the network and can search for information and process and analyze it according to commands. Not only that, they can even communicate with people normally, and respond to any situation Make responses and expressions that are indistinguishable from those of humans. Ordinary naked eye observations can’t even distinguish between humans and their gaps, which is perfect.”

"Because of this, many human beings have more and more needs for intelligent robots. Indeed, people can become friends, partners, and even companions with them..."

"However, everyone present here, you must understand that no matter what state artificial intelligence and robots reach, everything they do, such as communication, work, and even love, etc., is based on the programs created by us and you in the future. and code execution. For example, if you ask a robot if you are happy? The robot will definitely answer you that he is happy, but this does not mean that the machine itself will feel happy. The machine has no feeling, and it will answer that you are happy only because of him. It's just programmed to answer you that he's happy."

"So I hope that you will not be like ordinary human beings. When you get along with this human-like program, you will have too cliche emotions and a sense of dependence, and you will have too much affection for a machine..."

"You have to remember that a machine will always be a machine, and everything is just programmed by humans."

.................. ..

When Dino woke up, he could still see the appearance of the professor standing on the podium in college, and the sharp words and words were still clearly buzzing in his ears.

Dino has changed.

Although that change is not clearly visible, people around him can more or less feel that that guy is a little different from before.

"I can't say what's different, but I just feel... different."

Lucas leaned on his chin and chatted with Jimmie.

And the central character of the topic, Dino, is wearing goggles to make a final check on the circuit on a robotic arm.After starting up and trying to adjust a few movements to make sure there was no problem, Dino shook his hands and took off the goggles, walked out of the laboratory and sat in front of the two of them, rubbed his tired eyes, and then casually took out the goggles from his pocket. He got out of the phone and looked at it twice. In the next second, his whole face became calm and his eyes softened. Even the corners of his mouth turned up a little bit. However, Dino didn’t do anything, neither talking nor typing. in the pocket.

Lucas raised an eyebrow at Jimmie, meaning 'look here again, does it look normal to him? '

Jimmie lowered his head and smiled noncommittally, yes Lucas was right, Dino is indeed different from before.

It is indeed rare for him to see that Dino would look at his phone seven or eight times in a row in one morning, and he would just take it out and check it without doing anything; and it was not just like today, this state has been going on for a while.

It doesn't mean that Dino is the type that no one is looking for. There are also normal social interactions, dinner appointments between seniors and the like.But this guy has always been the type to talk about things and not to write when he has nothing to do. It is rare for him to take out his mobile phone and stare at him without doing anything, which is really a bit abnormal.

What's even more abnormal is that knowing that Dino's focus is neither women nor stocks, he was actually just reading the news from 24.

In fact, just like reporting work, sometimes 24 will send a message according to Dino's instructions, telling Dino what he is doing... Of course, if Dino forgets to explain this kind of behavior when he goes out in the morning, then he will definitely not receive it that day No news of 24 anymore, alas.

After the order was issued, 24 did not send messages often, only two or three times a day. Dino basically does not reply to the messages sent by 24, most of them just enjoy the pleasure of receiving the messages.Occasionally, he would reply a message, which was basically a monosyllabic response, and there was a little calculation involved. He knew that as long as he sent a message in the past, 24 would definitely reply to his next message immediately.Such times always make Dino feel very at ease, and he likes this sense of security.

Once Dino replied 24, good boy.

When returning home at night, 24 chased Dino and asked him, "Why do you say good?"

Dino thought for a while, and only told 24, "Because you are very obedient, I feel very satisfied..."

24 nodded thoughtfully, Dino gently stroked 24's head, and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

Also, I think you are cute.

And more often, when the text messages have been read badly, Dino will spend most of the time looking at the signal from the mobile phone and enjoying another feeling of peace of mind.That was the signal from the tracker on his waist that he had put into 24's body, telling him of 24's whereabouts all the time, as if he would never lose him.

Dino is not at all unaware, he realizes that his feelings for 24 are becoming more and more complicated, even beyond the feelings that ordinary humans should have towards robots.

As for what that feeling is like?The words that were about to come out were scattered in the mind of Dino who was thinking.He has a mysterious self-confidence in himself, the kind of illusions and emotions that can easily happen to ordinary people will not happen to him.

In fact, if many things are placed on ordinary people, I am afraid that it is not a big deal. Now, who doesn’t have it? Some people fall in love with animals, some marry dolls, fetishes, nostalgia, and people who fall in love with sitting on the other side of the computer , Establish relationships with people who have never met, there are all kinds of people in this world, and there are all kinds of relationships.

So not to mention all kinds of feelings towards an intelligent robot.I feel like crying when I lose something, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t play on the computer for a day, and I feel very uncomfortable when my mobile phone is left at home, not to mention spending time with an intelligent robot that is no different from human beings in terms of appearance and touch. , It's totally normal to have feelings.

However, Dino knows that he is different from others, and such a thing should not happen to him.Because that's what he does. He's an Evolution technician. He knows exactly what artificial intelligence is.Even the programs used by these robots used by humans were developed bit by bit by senior technicians and engineers. He should understand artificial intelligence best, and he should understand that some things should not and cannot happen to him. appeared.

Especially the kind of feelings that are no longer just habits, dependence and trust, especially the kind of eyes that are no longer just looking at companions, partners or even friends.

He can look at any person or thing with that vision, but it should not be 24.

Dino has this self-knowledge, so he firmly believes that he will not make the kind of mistakes that a mentally retarded person would make, and have the illusion that a fool would have.

Not to mention taking ten thousand steps back...

Thinking of this, Dino's heart suddenly felt agitated. He paused at the tip of his pen, stretched out his hand, smashed the fifth report that had been written in a few strokes and made mistakes, and threw it on the floor. He leaned back on the chair and took a long breath of relief. The back of 24 running to pick up the extra waste paper swallowed.

24 The short sleeves I wear today are a bit short, and when I squat down, my waist will be exposed...

However, in the next second, the train of thought was connected to the previous question.

What's more, taking a step back, no matter what kind of feelings you have for intelligent robots, you will never get a response.

Dino lowered his eyes, that expression looked so lonely.

……

As a result, this complicated loneliness was swept away at dinner time.

Dino stared at 24's prepared dinner with his mouth half open, frowning, and then raised his head to look at 24.

"what is this?"

An unbelievable tone, as if 24 was going to give him sex.

"eggplant."

The natural tone seems to be explaining to ignorant humans who have never seen the world.

"You give me eggplant?"

His eyes widened even wider, and his tone of voice was already showing a hint of gunpowder.

"Yes, Dino."

The tone is neither salty nor weak, and there is still no emotion.

"Didn't I tell you I don't eat this kind of thing?!"

"You said you didn't like it, Dino." 24 looked quite serious, neither humble nor overbearing, "but you never said you couldn't eat it."

"Since I don't like to eat it, I must not eat it. Why are you doing this to me?"

"You seldom eat this kind of vegetable. The nutritional intake needs to be balanced. I am doing it for your health."

"I will not eat."

"For your health considerations you should eat some."

"I can't die without eating eggplant!"

"You can't die if you eat it."

???

Dino looked at 24 in a bit of shock, was he being...backed?

But he didn't think much about it, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables sullenly, and then pushed the plate of eggplant out.

However, the next second the plate was pushed back in front of him.

Dino froze for a moment, and pushed the plate out again without looking up.

Then it was pushed back the next second.

After a few rounds, Dino looked at the eggplant that was put back in front of him again, squinted his eyes and raised his head.

However, 24 in front of him looked innocent, just tilted his head and looked at Dino, as if asking him what's wrong.

Dino let out a sigh of relief.

"What can eggplant supplement? Can I take medicine?"

"This way of intake is more natural."

"Then you mean I can't do it if I don't eat?"

"I'm just thinking about your body."

Dino narrowed his eyes and looked at 24 again, then waved, "Come here, come here."

24 leaned over obediently, and let Dino reach out and touch from head to neck, from shoulders to back, from chest to buttocks. What happened to you recently got a virus..."

"I don't have one, Dino."

24 said while being dangled by Dino.

"Then why did you disobey my orders?"

"I didn't disobey your order, I just gave you reasonable advice," 24 straightened his messy clothes and continued, "Didn't you say that we are friends and want to live together, as a friend I should help you Good advice, don't you, Dino?"

Seeing the doubts on 24's face, Dino opened his mouth, unable to find anything to refute.

Oh, this is really self-inflicted, it must be impossible to live.
