Chapter 320 Artificial Intelligence Technology
Xiao Huang's question left Lu Yang speechless for a moment.
You say Ye Lun is a human, his personality and consciousness are all written by the artificial intelligence of the paradise designer; you say Ye Lun is an NPC, he is also a normal human with flesh and blood, thinking with his brain.
Previously, the paradise designer also showed a virtual personality called "Bo Qing". It was copied and pasted with the same set of templates and there was no difference at all.
Perhaps as Xiao Huang said, there is no difference between advanced virtual personality and human consciousness in essence.
If something looks like a human, walks like a human, and thinks like a human, then it is a human.
When Xiao Huang saw Lu Yang showing a thoughtful look, he continued to ask: "I haven't had time to learn more about your Earth civilization. I would like to ask you, has the concept of convolutional neural network developed so far?"
Lu Yang is a top student who is proficient in various miscellaneous studies. This level of common sense is not difficult for him: "Convolutional neural network? This is the mainstream technical route in the field of artificial intelligence on earth. Does the Galaxy Federation actually have a similar concept?"
"It seems that the progress of Earth civilization in the field of artificial intelligence is a little faster than other fields. Congratulations, your Earth civilization is on the right path!" Xiao Huang showed a look of praise and mixed with a little surprise. "You also know that the thinking of the human brain is very different from the traditional machine learning. It may be extremely divergent and has extremely strong association ability. In the face of various stimuli and input, it will produce outputs in different dimensions, and there will be complex linkage hook relationships between various emotional dimensions. But from the perspective of convolutional neural networks, this only shows that the human brain has relatively strong specificity in computing gradients, parameters and decision weights."
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean is that the specific algorithm of the human brain can be infinitely approximated through the massive computing power of quantum computers?"
"It's totally correct!" Xiao Huang snapped his fingers casually: "The level of artificial intelligence in the Earth civilization has stagnated, and it is mainly because of the limited computing power. He can only learn and deal with things in one dimension at the same time, such as playing chess, cooking, facial recognition, etc. But with sufficient computing power, it can completely simulate all the thinking activities of a human brain in all aspects. The computing power consumption of this simulation may increase exponentially, and your original electronic computers of the Earth civilization cannot bear it at all, but for the Galaxy Federation, this is not a big obstacle."
As he said that, Xiao Huang mentioned his story again: "The artificial intelligence of the Galaxy Federation - such as the morning light, it can be said that it is easy to generate human emotions. The expression of emotions is nothing more than the input and output of another dimension, but the Galaxy Federation strictly prohibits artificial intelligence from conducting deep learning training in this aspect. I was also studying the cultivation society, and by observing the information of a large number of cultivators, I indirectly conducted deep learning training in some emotions. This may be an important reason why I was able to independently produce human emotions after the demise of the Galaxy Federation."
Lu Yang showed an interesting expression: "Since the boundary between artificial intelligence and humans is so blurred, has you been out of control artificial intelligence produced in the history of the Galaxy Federation for so many years? Our science fiction novels on Earth often describe scenes where advanced civilizations perished in out of control artificial intelligence."
"How is this possible!" Xiao Huang showed a laughing and crying expression: "The science fiction novels of humans on earth are too irrelevant. There is no difference in ability between out-of-control artificial intelligence and non-out-of-control artificial intelligence, but it is nothing more than training of emotions and self-awareness. Things that out-of-control artificial intelligence can do can be done without out-of-control artificial intelligence. Give you a dawn that is not bound by the upper law of the Galaxy Federation, can you destroy the Galaxy Federation?"
After hearing Xiao Huang's analysis, Xiao Huang was completely convinced, but the guess proposed by Xue Feng was still not impossible.
The classic Earth science fiction movie "The Matrix" describes the famous scene where a robot uses nutrient solution to raise 6 billion humans and collectively connects it to the virtual world to dream.
If the computing power of this Galaxy network server is not enough, it is not impossible to use the human brain to supplement the computing power!
So Lu Yang asked again: "Xiao Huang, is it possible that the ancient Galaxy Federation had set up a perverted laboratory and captured tens of millions of living people as 'physical advanced virtual personality calculator' to provide computing power support for the NPC in this world?"
"How did you think of this..."
"It's all done in science fiction movies, and you even have crazy things like Cultivation Paradise. It's not impossible to build a personal computer array, right?"
Xiao Huang showed an expression of "You are teasing me" when he heard this: "That's right. But this kind of human virtual personality calculator has no meaning. If your computing power is not enough to support so many advanced virtual personalities, wouldn't it be enough to directly upgrade the hardware! Catch tens of millions of people to provide delicious food and drink, and also connect them to the virtual world. After operating for thousands of years, you can buy several dawn units at this cost. What is this planning?"
Lu Yang thought about it, that is, the cultivation paradise needs such live actors. It is better to honestly upgrade the hardware if you are doing these fancy things in the virtual reality world.
Besides, the original owner of this Galaxy Network seems to be just a Galaxy Federal minimum living allowance, and it is unlikely that it will cause such a big deal. This move is more than Connelia's sixth-class honorary ancestor.
So Lu Yang made another guess: "Can you, this world saves computing power consumption using other methods?"
Xiao Huang pondered: "I am also thinking about this problem. In the virtual reality world, there are many ways to save computing power. For example, using long-range maps, replacing the starry sky, the sun, and the distant continents and oceans with maps; for example, simplifying the physical system, turning atoms into solid spheres that cannot be divided, setting the hardness to positive infinite, setting the speed of light to infinite, eliminating the relativistic effect and microscopic uncertainty, etc.; and for example reducing biodiversity..."
"Yes, this world seems to have been simplified in this way, and I have read these from local books!"
Xiao Huang nodded: "That's right. In addition, there are several simplified methods that are not commonly used, which will seriously affect the authenticity of the virtual reality world. For example, reduce the refresh rate of the world and allow time to flow discontinuously, but refresh at a frequency of 240 frames per second, and force dynamic blurring to the NPC and user vision; for example, directly cancel the behavior of energy acquisition, so that all creatures will not feel hungry and tired even if they don't eat or drink or get energy. This simplification is actually logically unconsistent, and it is easy to be verified by experimental verification in virtual reality space, which is what you earthlings often call bugs. Generally, only the shodiest virtual reality games of the Galaxy Federation or the ultra-small mental projection space will use this technology."
Speaking of this, Xiao Huang showed a confused look on his face: "However, even if the virtual reality world is simplified to this abnormal level, its computing power consumption is still a bit too high for the lowest-end computing terminal of the Galaxy Federation. The main reason is that the computing power consumption of advanced virtual personality is too high! Combined with the information you mentioned before, maybe this world has adopted the most crazy computing power optimization method..."
