Chapter 238 (1/2)

The LAN that Professor Mei planned to use for the test was soon set up.

The computer networks of four buildings within about three kilometers are connected, consisting of 12 computer rooms, more than 100 servers and 3000 computers. All servers and terminals simulate the pattern distribution of a government organ, three enterprises, a business center, two schools and a residential area, install a large number of applications and import huge data.

The professor found 3000 students from the school and asked them to sit in front of the computer for manual data import and conversion. In the first week, the whole network was connected with the Internet. The professor allowed these students to do anything on the Internet, and even did not prohibit them from climbing over the wall and peeping into the dark Internet.

Aoki followed the professor to a large office area on the second floor of the experimental building and saw about 100 computers neatly placed, like an Internet cafe. There are many young people like college students sitting in front of the computer. Some are playing games, some are talking about QQ, some are watching videos, some are browsing the web. Of course, some people have opened some strange software and don't know what they are doing.

Through the large office area, came to a small room. It's not small. The room is very spacious, but there are a few computers. Aoki counted, only nine.

”Is this the hub of the whole network?” Aoki asked.

”It can be said that it is or not.” Mei Tui smiled mysteriously. ”For us, this is the most important place. We can monitor all the data of the whole LAN through this place. But we can't control any computer outside, let alone the 80 servers and more than 2000 computers distributed in the other three buildings.”

”Professor, can we disconnect the Internet now?” asked Mei Ziqing.

”Oh, let's play for a while! The work after the network is disconnected is not as fun as it is now,” Mei said. ”Are you clear about what you want to do?”

”It should be very clear. There are all the procedures in the volunteer work rules. Except that the final test process is in the sealed bag, they are not allowed to open it until the beginning,” Mei Ziqing said.

”Well, very good.” the professor nodded and smiled at Aoki. ”Let's eat here today. The whole test process may be long.”

”Why not set a time?” Aoki asked.

Metso said, ”if the time is fixed, the accuracy of Turing test will be greatly reduced. Oh, by the way, do you know Turing test?”

Aoki said, ”yes, it's a method for testing artificial intelligence invented by Turing, the father of computer. Separate people from machines and ask people to ask questions to machines. After multiple tests, if more than 30% of people can't determine whether the tested person is a person or a machine, then the machine passes the test and is considered to have human intelligence.”

”Yes, it's that simple. But there's a big limitation, that is, time. When we set the test time, we put a hoop curse on the tester, which will make it easier for the machine to muddle through.”

”Muddle through?”

”If you think so, if machines have real wisdom, will they be instinctively unwilling to let humans know? From the characteristics of human behavior, we can see that we are always willing to show off in front of the weak, and pretend to be stupid or even beg for mercy in front of the strong. Isn't this a kind of survival wisdom of higher creatures? If machines are conscious, they are no better than people At that time, we will hide ourselves and try not to let us find its wisdom. ”
