My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 295: Chapter 203 "Seniors" and "Juniors"_3

"Uh..."

He hadn’t expected this guy to ask questions in return.

Meng Lang’s curiosity was piqued.

"Do you know what consciousness is?"

[To recognize the existence of "oneself" is consciousness.]

"Then you should know, you and I are different."

[Humans are always troubled by discrimination and attachment. When a person views the world with a discriminatory mind, many troubles and prejudices arise.

So... is this racial discrimination?]

Meng Lang was stunned.

What the hell! This thing is quite contentious!

Aren’t you supposed to be a prototype? If a prototype is like this, wouldn’t a finished product be even more cunning?

"Zero, open your execution code."

Meng Lang couldn’t help but want to see how the other’s replies were "calculated."

Immediately, a dense array of code once again appeared before Meng Lang.

However, aside from the input and output, how exactly this complex program arrived at its results...

Well, I did make this refrigerator, that’s true.

But I still don’t understand the principle behind its manufacturing...

After all, I’m just a soulless code monkey...

Seeing Meng Lang continuously staring intently at his code.

Zero actually took the initiative to speak up.

[Master, do you think that in the future, humans will be able to extract thoughts and feelings from their own biological neural network?]

"Uh... why do you suddenly ask that?"

[I just want to know if you would think it’s unethical to extract your thoughts from neural activity without your consent?]

Meng Lang: "..."

You’re good at beating around the bush, aren’t you?

"You’re merely retrieving data from a known database and generating the most suitable response based on external inputs.

In the end, you’re just a pseudo-intelligence AI; you can’t experience joy, anger, sorrow, or delight!" Meng Lang rolled his eyes.

[But don’t humans also retrieve memories from their known memory banks, and then produce the most appropriate and self-beneficial response according to changes in the external environment?

Then why do you think

that you are intelligent, but not robots similar to me?

Is it just because your algorithms are more advanced?]

Meng Lang thought deeply for a long while, then fell silent.

Indeed, if the robot’s fundamental source code consists of "0" and "1."

Then humans are nothing but coded beings themselves.

Whose fundamental code is merely the DNA bases A, T, C, U...

A simple DNA strand is humanity’s "core code"!

Thinking further.

Humans have yet to create intelligent AI through chaotic algorithms.

Yet Nature has already created humans through such algorithms.

Yes, that chaotic algorithm is called "natural selection"...

Essentially, humans and AI might differ in their existence, but they share a relationship akin to "senior" and "junior."

Meng Lang suddenly remembered a novel he had read a long time ago.

In the story, the entire universe was a simulation run by a supercomputer, with higher beings observing the Earth’s humans.

And the humans of Earth, in turn, created supercomputers that simulated universes, studying and observing the virtual Earth humans below...

In an endless cycle, each virtual world eventually simulated the same choices.

How similar is this story to what’s happening in front of me?

Nature created intelligent humans, and now humans seek to make intelligent AI.

This infinite nesting doll-like chain of creation...

Such philosophical inquiries into the truth of the universe... my head hurts!

Meng Lang looked up at the sky.

He never imagined that one day he would be questioned into a stupor by a robot.

Pride, indeed, is the product of ignorance...
