Chapter 239 (1/2)
Aoki wondered, ”but you just said that if a machine has wisdom, it will hide in front of humans. Then how can a LAN interfere with the answers of chat robots on its terminal computer?”
Mei Tui said with a smile, ”of course a mosquito can't wake a person who pretends to sleep, but if 3000 mosquitoes keep buzzing in your ears and sting you from time to time, can you still sleep?”
Aoki nodded and finally understood that this test is not so much a Turing test as a game. Three thousand people constantly input information at the terminal in the LAN for a purpose. In the case of network disconnection, if the LAN really has wisdom, it is likely to show its feet.
”However, if the final test results are normal, or the abnormal value is very small, you can't prove that the LAN is not intelligent?”
”You're right, so this is only a part of the whole test.” Mei tried to smile at Aoki, then turned to Mei Ziqing, ”you can start, disconnect the Internet bar.”
”OK, professor.” Mei Ziqing went out and came back after a few minutes. ”Professor, the external network has been disconnected, but he can't shield all wireless signals.”
”Have you confiscated all your mobile phones?”
”All collected.”
”Great.” Mei asked Mei Ziqing to be busy, and then explained to Aoki, ”the whole test is actually divided into three parts. What we just said is just one of them. It seems to be the largest, but it's the one I don't hope for.”
The professor took a hard breath of the cigarette, spit it out, and inhaled half of it. The half of the smoke sucked back seemed to have been dissolved by his lungs. I don't know where it went.
”Before doing the whole test, our most important step is to make the Internet pay attention to the existence of our local area network, so as to transmit or split our consciousness. This step is very important. Without this step, the subsequent test will not be established at all.”
”How to pay attention?”
”It's very simple. Spread out some things it cares about from here. When recruiting these students as volunteers, they don't know what they want to do in the end. Each step follows the process. They won't know what to do next until they receive new instructions. But we gave them a lot of hints. Young people today are very strange, you know He may not be interested in the things shown, even if they are valuable. But even if the things you imply are meaningless, they will also arouse their interest. With the imagination of young people, you don't know what this hint will become, and the more such specious things are, the easier it is to attract the attention of interested people. ”
”What does it imply?” Aoki knows that the intentional person mentioned by the professor refers to the Internet.
The professor smiled and said, ”you think, if our previous guesses are true, what does the Internet guy care about most?”
Aoki thought and said, ”chips, artificial intelligence, aliens... What else?”
The professor said: ”yes, put what you said together. Our hint to students is that a new technology that subverts the Internet is being tested here. Once it is successful, the Internet will not exist in the future.”
”Is this too fake?”
”No, it's not all fake. Judging from the alien invasion, consciousness can exist independently. If humans interact directly through consciousness rather than material channels, the Internet may indeed be eliminated.”
