Minecraft: The Kingdom of Yuanshen

Chapter 75 Evolution Stages
"This involves a philosophical question, what is the origin of the world?" Jiang Wenzhe laughed when he heard Victor's question, and instead of answering immediately, he asked us a question.

As a result, except for me and Su Anxia, ​​everyone else looked blank and didn't know how to answer.This question is very high and unfathomable to them, and it is worth pondering.

"The origin of the world is matter." Su Anxia said, "It's said in the textbook."

"This is Ma Zhe's point of view. There are many answers to this question, but practice has proved that this answer is the most accurate at present." Jiang Wenzhe said, "But I am afraid that as the research on artificial intelligence and cyberspace continues , The materialistic worldview we have established will be completely subverted. Regarding whether our consciousness will be in danger after entering the cyberspace, I can tell you very clearly—impossible.”

"Because consciousness is a function of the human brain. As long as the human brain is still active, consciousness will continue to grow. Unlike artificial intelligence, after we destroy the official uniform, they have lost their material carrier. Once they are destroyed in cyberspace Once destroyed, there will be no possibility of rebirth..."

"Wait." I interrupted him, "Since consciousness comes from matter, why can these artificial intelligences still exist without a material carrier?"

Hearing my words, he suddenly showed a helpless expression, and said to me with a wry smile: "That's why I just said that as the research continues, our world view may be subverted."

"what do you mean……"

"I'm afraid. I finally discovered that consciousness can determine matter. Once this kind of thing happens, I don't know how many people will go crazy. This fact is too difficult to accept, although there are already signs of this situation in quantum mechanics."

We were all silent after listening.Although Jiang Wenzhe told us that being killed in the game world will not affect the body in the real world, his words also show that there is a one in ten thousand possibility that the death of consciousness will lead to the death of the body, provided that Everything we knew before was wrong.

This is indeed very unacceptable.I can understand it with an example - if one day, you suddenly wake up and find that everything you have experienced before is just a dream, and your parents, classmates, and friends are all illusions generated by yourself in your mind , your body exists only because of your feelings, and the whole world is just a virtual space constructed in your mind, just like the world of "Minecraft" in this virtual machine.

Unless this person has a very strong psychological endurance, he will definitely go crazy.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it will be us who will go crazy, not you." Jiang Wenzhe sighed and continued, "We just talked about strong artificial intelligence, right? This is the key point, and it is also when you go in What we have to face later, I will try my best to briefly tell you the results of our current research and observation, and let you prepare mentally by the way, so that you don’t make a fuss when you enter.”

"Strong artificial intelligence is generated on entities with advanced feedback mechanisms in the game, that is, monsters such as zombies, skeletons, and dragons that you see in the game, and of course villagers. Once these entities appear, they will be The 'Pei's Algorithm' is based on a series of calculation rules to produce intelligence, with preliminary thinking ability, but still follow the instructions given to them when humans write them in behavior."

"This stage is called the stage of weak artificial intelligence. For you, it is absolutely easy to deal with these monsters, killing them in minutes, because they are no different from those silly mobs on the computer before."

"Next, under the influence of the 'Pei's Algorithm', these mobs who are still in the stage of weak artificial intelligence began to receive information from the outside world, imitate what they saw, and reproduce these things into their own behaviors In the command, it is also possible to socialize with the same kind.”

"This stage is called the proto-brain stage. You will find that the monsters at this stage will imitate you like monkeys, and even use various tools to beat and beat like you, and they will yell and scream Attack. It’s just that they don’t have self-awareness yet, and they don’t know the meaning of these actions, they are still simply acting according to the instructions written by humans.”

Chris and Lin Nai nodded when they heard this, showing a little more respect for Jiang Wenzhe in their eyes.Both of them have stayed in official uniforms before, and they are familiar with the performance of those monsters, which is indeed what Jiang Wenzhe said.

"The vast majority of monsters will die at this stage, either being killed by the player or deleted by the system. But due to certain factors, some of them survived, and the surviving monsters began to learn and imitate continuously. Self-awareness and emotion are born, and they no longer rely solely on human instructions to act, but have their own decision-making behavior. At this time, each entity’s instruction library has stored a feedback method that has begun to take shape, and can carry out some complex thinking and action."

"In addition, they also gave birth to language. This stage is called the awakening stage. I think you have seen it before."

When he said this, the talking ghost that I met in the first round of the competition immediately came to my mind and was able to communicate with Bu Xin; in addition, the arrogant creeper girl Xiao Ye in the second round of the competition should It also belongs to the artificial intelligence in the awakening stage.

"Theoretically speaking, at this stage of evolution, these monsters are no different from those adolescent children of eleven or twelve years old." Jiang Wenzhe said here, adjusted his glasses, and showed an intriguing expression, "Next, That’s what’s really hard to deal with. Compared with this stage, the first three stages are all pediatrics, and when you meet them, you will know what it means to face an alpha dog’s despair.”

"This fourth stage, Western scholars like to call it the SB stage, that is, Super-brain. I think it seems inappropriate to call it SB here in China, so we call it the Mingrui stage. It has reached our level since its birth. The height of all the great figures in human history, the huge self-generated data instruction library supports all its actions, so that it can make no mistakes in every move."

"As far as I know, the one who is negotiating with the high-level executives this time is an artificial intelligence in the Mingrui stage. He is playing games with the world's top elites by himself, and he will not lose the wind." Jiang Wenzhe Very seriously.

"What are you talking about in the negotiations?" Seeing that he seemed to know something inside, I hurriedly asked.
