Chapter 134 The Turing Test Is a Funny Farce
Angeli's puzzled voice came from the next table: "What voice? What are you talking about?"

Wang Ping'an was shocked: "You don't know? Didn't you merge with me just now? You should know what I think?"

"I don't know!" Angeli said loudly, "Or do you know what I was thinking just now? Tell me!"

Wang Pingan recalled what he was thinking, and said something similar: "Uh... thinking about how nice my strong biceps are?"

"go to hell!"

Seeing the end of the conversation between the two, Tu Shengli continued the topic just now: "You mean sound? Do you mean to convert the information obtained by the radar into the form of sound waves and infuse it to you? What's the difference? I think using the current visualization It's a good way."

"No, no, no!" Wang Ping'an shook his head again and again, "I'm not asking you to change, but... um?"

Wang Ping'an's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at Tu Shengli with a dull face, and murmured: "It has nothing to do with you! Later, you can remove the visualization step and put radar waves... No, it may not work to instill radar waves directly. Directly filter the computer to provide us with the information to identify the direction.

"Angeli, listen to me, we can think of radar waves as sound! Receive them as sound waves!"

Angeli asked suspiciously: "Is this something you can do with just one mouthful? You said that when you say it is a voice, our brain is a voice?"

"Try it, you just recite silently in your heart, radar waves are also waves."

Angeli sighed: "Okay, try it, anyway, I'm going to vomit all at once."

Seeing that Angeli agreed, Tu Shengli pursed his lips: "Okay, let's try it. But you can't try too many times. I just confirmed that you can connect to the machine safely today. You need to do more tests. I will give you half an hour. We may continue to visualize the radar information. Get ready, everyone!"

Wang Pingan: "Wait a minute! Do we have to lie flat like this? Why don't we try to let our bodies curl up naturally? Isn't that the position of human beings in the fetal age? After curling up naturally, let Angeli Come behind me, we fit closer..."

Tu Shengli looked at Wang Ping'an speechlessly: "If you want to take advantage of him, just tell him directly, I think you have such a good relationship, maybe he doesn't mind."

Angeli: "I mind! I mind very much! Let him go!"

Tu Shengli: "She told you to go."

Wang Ping'an struggled to roll under the constraints of the restraints on the test bench.

Tu Shengli came up and held him down: "Okay, okay, okay! Stop making trouble, and prepare for the experiment!"

**
Connect again.

Wang Pingan silently recited "radar waves are waves just like sound waves".

The moment he synchronized with the robot, he was still dizzy and vomited.Obviously, the brain does not take the information obtained by the radar signal as the information obtained by the ear so smoothly.

He gritted his teeth and persisted, and continued to silently recite "radar wave is also a kind of wave".

He didn't know how many seconds he lasted, anyway, when he realized it, he was already in the laboratory, and the student Tu Shengli rushed over with something like a vacuum cleaner, sucking the vomit in his mouth.

Angeli next door reacted similarly.

Tu Shengli: "It really is futile."

After Wang Pingan vomited, he glanced at the time displayed on the big screen and said, "Didn't you agree to give us half an hour! Only 5 minutes have passed! Come again!"

5 minute later.

"It's only been 10 minutes, come again!"

10 minute later.

"That's...that's..."

Tu Shengli: "You're about to vomit and collapse, give him glucose injections!"

Wang Pingan grabbed the pants of the student who was about to inject him with glucose—his hands were fixed so that he could only reach the pants.

"I think it's almost done!"

Tu Shengli: "You still have 10 minutes, if you can vomit twice, come and use glucose."

After the glucose was applied, Wang Pingan lay down again.

"I have a hunch that it will work this time," he said.

After 4 minutes, he vomited so much that his body was rolled up, and the fixing strap was almost torn off.

Angeli was similar, she was still carrying heavy loads, and she directly strained her waist.

Angeli: "My waist..."

Wang Pingan: "There is another time, do you feel that we just heard the sound, which means that it is about to work! Our brains have begun to treat radar as sound. Is this called synaesthesia?"

Tu Shengli: "Isn't synaesthesia a rhetorical device?"

Angeli: "Synesthesia or not, I don't know, but the sound just now, are you sure it's not our auditory hallucination? It feels like the bells of heaven...Of course I am a space force and I have materialism, but I am French, my parents are Protestants, there is a church near my house, I have heard the bells on Christmas Eve from afar... and that's about it!"

Wang Pingan: "Frenchmen, Protestants, look at your religious elect, blood was splashed on the streets hundreds of years ago."

"Minorities have discounts, our skin color can't be changed, and my parents don't want to distort my sexual orientation, so I have to work hard in this area. No, it's not when I said this. Are you sure it's not an illusion? Why do I think it is? bells..."

Wang Pingan: "Look, I heard it, and you heard it too, so that means you are right."

"But we were alone just now?"

Tu Shengli finally found a gap to insert: "Did you hear the bell?"

"Yes... no, it's not a bell, but some kind of rhythmic echo. I guess that's the received radar echo!"

"However, the echoes of the radar are irregular, because they will be reflected back when they touch something. We shouldn't hear regular echoes..." Angeli seemed to have exchanged with Wang Pingan, and actually started to tear down the stage.

Wang Pingan waved his hands again and again: "That must be radar waves, we are about to succeed."

Tu Shengli: "Well, you still have time for the last time. But to be honest, I don't quite understand why we must receive radar information directly. I think it's good to visualize it, right? Humans are inherently visual animals."

Wang Pingan: "But the new human beings may not be."

"The existence of new humans has never been confirmed. You are just a self-proclaimed new human." Tu Shengli said.

Wang Pingan did not answer, but lay down and gestured: "Continue."

5 minute later.

Tu Shengli's assistant reported when Wang Pingan vomited: "It's basically stomach acid and bile. If you vomit any more, something will happen. They just vomited like that yesterday."

Tu Shengli waved his hand: "Your time is over, convert the radar information into an image, don't mention receiving radar information directly!"

Wang Ping'an's hand suddenly exerted force, directly tore off the fixed strap, and grabbed Tu Shengli's wrist: "Try again! It's really fast this time, if you don't believe me, ask Angeli."

Angeli agreed with a weak voice: "Indeed, I can hear a lot of voices. If it's not a hallucination, I think it should correspond to the source of the radar echo. It's on the left hand side of the body, about [-] to [-] degrees away from the left hand." Direction, is there something that can echo back?"

Wang Pingan: "You are a pilot, you should say the direction of the aircraft at 11 o'clock."

"Okay, is there anything in the eleven o'clock direction of the machine?"

Tu Shengli turned to look at the student, who replied, "It's the cruiser escorting us. It should be right in the radar horizon of the aircraft."

Wang Pingan clapped his hands vigorously: "Look!"

Tu Shengli: "You tore our fixing belt just to clap your hands? I still don't understand the meaning of this."

Wang Pingan looked at him directly and replied: "If the new human beings are a species capable of space navigation by instinct, then radar, gravity sensing and other things should be their senses. The brains of the new human beings should be able to process the information directly."

Tu Shengli also stared at Wang Pingan and responded: "But your brain is similar to that of ordinary people. Even if you are an adjusted person, your intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people, but you will definitely not be able to process so much information."

Wang Pingan: "How do you know? Has the potential of the human brain been developed to 100%? You are an expert in brain science, tell me!"

Tu Shengli was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "No indeed. The reason I have said before is that human consciousness comes from the self-organization phenomenon of [-] billion neurons, and there is no mathematical description for this phenomenon yet. .We don't know its potential, just like we don't know the potential of quantum computers.

"However! The human brain is very backward. There are electrical signals inside neurons, but between neurons, information is transmitted through chemical signals. This mechanism determines the limit of the human brain."

Wang Ping'an's brain suddenly went off topic, so he asked: "Wait a minute, if we scan and upload a person's consciousness to the newly built super quantum computer, will we be able to live forever?"

Tu Shengli shook his head: "Impossible, because any super quantum computer will self-organize. Even if it is a brand new super quantum computer, it will start to self-organize the moment it is started, and its AI will be born, even before he reads Personality data in storage.

"You can only say that after the artificial intelligence was born, the first piece of information entered was a certain person's personality data. Do you think that is cyber immortality?"

Wang Ping'an was speechless.

"Moreover, quantum computers are completely different from us. His understanding of many things is different from ours in principle. For example, we will say that your wife is a giant, but my student is not."

Tu Shengli pulled over a female student.

"But she actually has... well, how much do you have?"

The student blushed with a swipe: "What... is it a top? Or a cup?"

Tu Shengli waved his hand: "Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we can all tell the difference. This is not a giant, right? But computers can't. Even a super quantum computer must have a precise definition to distinguish what is giant from what is." It is Pu, and the upper circumference and the cup must be specified in detail.

"And you, Wang Ping'an, you are definitely not bald, right? But the computer has to define how many hairs to be considered bald, and one less hair is considered bald in its definition.

"Of course, we can write a program to make the computer have the ability of fuzzy judgment. But the computer does not need this kind of fuzzy judgment ability, because the fuzzy judgment ability of human beings is to make up for the functional defects of the human brain.

"We can't see how much hair a person has at a glance, and we can't see three-dimensionally at a glance, so we need a vague definition. Without a computer, he really knows how much hair and tingling there are at a glance.

"And the computer can accurately record all these things. As long as the storage body is not attacked, it will never be forgotten. Do you understand? The consciousness formed by the computer does not need these.

"Also, in our opinion, if a person is eliminated, he is dead, so we think that if the computer is formatted and then turned off, then the computer is dead. But computers don't think that way. They think that after doing this, as long as Start the machine again, and then input the same information, then this computer is the previous computer.

"Don't contradict me, I'm talking about things that have been answered in the affirmative from real artificial intelligence. Real artificial intelligence doesn't think formatting and shutdown are death at all, just temporary hibernation. And even if you tell him to restart Different information will be entered, it doesn't matter, and it will tell you 'Say hello to the new me'.

"Yes, it's a 'new me', but it's still a 'me'!
"You know the Turing test, right? Ask a computer to talk to a real person, and if the real person can't tell it's a computer, it passes the Turing test. This test is ridiculous, because real artificial intelligence, real conscious computers, don't It is never possible to pass the Turing test without camouflage."

After Tu Shengli finished his long speech, he reached for a thermos to drink water.

While drinking water, the goji berries soaked in his vacuum flask kept swirling.

Wang Pingan said at this time: "So what do you say, has anything to do with new humans?"

"It's your first question! I'm just telling you that you can't upgrade human performance by uploading consciousness into a super quantum computer. At least in the foreseeable years, if you want to become a new human, you can only rely on your biological brain."

Wang Pingan nodded again and again: "Okay, I see. Then let's try again for the last time. We just rested for so long."
