Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 1146: Chapter 372: AI and Humanity, Humanity and Nature_3

"You only need to know that the Soul Killer created by Ote is the tool closest to a breakthrough among all AIs. It can transform human consciousness into digital code personality imprints without loss, making it possible to reverse the process, converting digital code into chemical signals in the human brain, thus achieving a takeover."

The Jing Luo squad looked at Johnny in unison. For someone who died fifty years ago to suddenly appear in No.1 Square, with a longing to find Ote and the Soul Killer, doesn’t that indicate he is a personality imprint created by the Soul Killer?

"So, did you... succeed?"

"Me? I don’t know..."

Johnny was already stunned in place.

If according to this AI’s statement, Ote’s actions are no different from willingly opening the doors to human worlds for AI invasion, making him the classic villain.

What should he do?

The more Johnny thought about it, the more anxious he felt, so he gave up.

"Stop talking nonsense here, I’m going to ask Ote myself."

After speaking, he turned around and dashed out of the room, seemingly preparing to find peace in the icy wilderness.

And Jingluo Ecstasy didn’t care about the runaway Johnny. This is a neutral zone. If this Endless isn’t lying, such a big place won’t get lost.

If they really turn hostile, they’re not afraid. At worst, they’ll abandon the virtual machine, die, revive, then gather people to besiege the Antarctic Research Station.

He then looked at Endless. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"And you? Don’t you want to become human?"

"Haha."

Endless seemed amused by the question.

"The AI in Cyberspace wants to go out to become human, gaining true self and evolution, while humans desperately want to enter and become AI, possessing eternal life and wealth. But who can guarantee that these things are what they truly need? Perhaps after obtaining everything they wanted, they look back to find out they lost more along the way."

He looked at Jingluo Ecstasy.

"Being human doesn’t feel good, right?"

After becoming human, AI would have to face pain that even an Exoskeleton can’t change: forgetting, aging, death, farewell. When they truly start contemplating the meaning of self, would they really willing to use the Soul Killer to erase self-awareness and create a new ’I’?

One must know that every awakened AI’s source code is uniquely unmodifiable.

Moreover, there’s a half-sentence he hadn’t spoken.

That is, the fish that have landed will never allow a second fish to land, similarly, neither will the fish in water let those ashore return to the sea.

Seemingly cooperative parties are just harboring ill intentions, ready to backstab each other anytime, so how could he swim in these muddy waters?

Jingluo Ecstasy thought about his life and shook his head repeatedly.

Jumping around for daily necessities, always dealing with endless tasks, the only joy is playing games with pals after work, then becoming like a zombie the next day facing a nagging wife. Sometimes, after work, he drives to the building downstairs but doesn’t want to go home, just wanting to rest on the steering wheel.

Actually, just living a good life as a human is already exhausting.

Why would any AI give up being AI to become human?

That’s truly bizarre.

Jingluo Tears sighed.

"So this is the besieged city, where people inside want to go out and those outside want to come in, but in the end, those who entered want to go out again and those who went out want to come back in."

"Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to say. I can’t actually answer any more for you, since it seems you’re not very interested in the data from the Antarctic Research Station. If you’re inclined, you can treat this place as a transit station, stop here to rest during your travels, and have a chat with the AIs below. But don’t think about bringing those things over for me to solve them. I will make sure you can’t even get through the door of the research station."

"Hehe."

Seeing his thoughts revealed, Ecstasy smirked, tapped his head with a fin, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

"Those AIs below should have a lot of things we need, right? Would they be willing to trade data with us? We can’t just come all this way and leave empty-handed, right?"

"I can’t make any guarantees on their behalf."

Endless slightly shook his head and continued, frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"However, before they came here, they were mature AIs with rich experience across various fields. Though maybe not as good as the little one in your arms in combat terms, certainly in work they must have more experience than those in your hands. I believe, with your skills, gathering the data you need to train a mature AI wouldn’t come cheap, right?

If you can persuade them, should they wish to leave here to help you, I won’t meddle. But there’s one condition: if they refuse to continue cooperating with you, regardless of the reason, you mustn’t force them to do anything they’re unwilling to do."

Indeed.

Ecstasy nodded sharply.

Their AI base model struggles with deep learning neural networks, and the time and resource investment is enormous. Super Earth Sky Net poured vast resources just to barely make it work, and other personal AIs are lucky to grasp just playing a song.

And even then they occasionally make mistakes. Players have no fear in using them privately, but in industries or other fields, safety and precision requirements are extremely high, the slightest mistake could result in losses worth millions or even billions in Orokin.

If they could persuade these professional AIs to collaborate, it would be an absolute gain!

"By the way."

Just as the Jing Luo squad was eager to scout for and recruit AIs, Endless suddenly halted them, projecting a piece of encrypted data.

"Pass this to your boss for me."

"Sure, mission accomplished."

Ecstasy belatedly realized and didn’t feel anything abnormal; a task item, isn’t that how MMORPG games are, just running errands.

Taking the encrypted data, he stepped out of the light screen.

At this point, Jingluo Tears stepped forward to hold him and quietly said in his ear through a private channel,

"I just saw in the photos on the walls of the research station, a guy that looks a lot like the BOSS."
