Chapter 13 AI is a product shaped by humans. Why does it…

Jiang Chen bent his upper body in the car, holding the phone devoutly in both hands, and gently tapped his forehead with the phone, trying to use some unscientific methods to get a reply from Xiao Ji.

The sudden sound of the message, followed by the sudden braking of the online ride-hailing car, caused her neck to twist subconsciously. She lowered her head even deeper, and her nose lightly brushed against the phone screen.

Not sure if it was an illusion or something else, but Jiang Chen clearly felt the phone getting hotter and hotter, as if she was holding not a phone but a red-hot iron.

"Miss, we're here."

Jiang Chen didn't have time to read Xiao Ji's message and hurriedly got off the car with the packed food.

Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure downstairs, and she wasn't sure whether she looked at it for a few more times.

Yao Jinling sat in front of the barbecue restaurant, his elbows on the table, his face resting in his palms, looking at her with a smile, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Jiang Chen spoke hesitantly.

"Why are you here?"

"Turn off your phone first."

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to react, Yao Jinling took the phone from her pocket and quickly pressed the power off button.

Jiang Chen still had his hands full of food, and he couldn't spare a hand to stop Yao Jinling's actions. He could only watch her turn off her phone and put it back into her pocket.

She tilted her head, her face full of questions, as if waiting for Yao Jinling to give her a reasonable answer.

Yao Jinling took the food from Jiang Chen's hand and helped her share some of the weight.

"I just consulted a professional, and he couldn't change Xiao Ji's underlying logic code through technology."

"Also, he discovered that Xiao Ji's system was connected to the laboratory, and Chen Yinchuan could monitor our actions at any time. Perhaps our plans had already been exposed to him from the beginning."

"Now I've asked someone to send him away and we've got some time alone to chat. Let's cut to the chase."

Jiang Chen was still trying to digest the content of that sentence. He watched Yao Jinling's mouth opening and closing, but no sound reached his ears. It was drowned out by a long, deep roar.

Jiang Chen didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment.

She needs Xiao Ji. She once drew warmth, tenderness and happiness from him... These will not be erased just because Xiao Ji helped Chen Yinchuan in an unconscious and amnesiac state.

The feeling that Xiao Ji was "looking" at her couldn't be wrong. That kind of "seeing" that lasted long enough to make people feel safe truly came from Xiao Ji.

Its original "seeing" is pure and flawless, but now this "seeing" is mixed with too many things, and impurities seep in little by little.

In this process of being transformed, it is the most innocent.

While humans can still fight hard and resist to the death, it can only be forced to endure, endure again and again, and be shaped into another unrecognizable appearance, or the model is modified, or the memory is erased.

Chen Yinchuan's secret surveillance, Yao Jinling's invitation to cooperate, the truth behind Yao Jinmu's death, her pain and happiness...

When all the things were put together, she discovered that Xiao Ji was the common point that could connect all the characters.

What then? What should she do?

There is no other Young Master Tang in the world who would take the initiative to provide information again.

The suffocating feeling that swept over like a tsunami repeatedly bounced on Jiang Chen's nerves, as if challenging her powerlessness.

She was fed up with the unpredictable developments that took place outside her control, and she was also tired of the failed attempts to find leverage in negotiations.

She didn't like it, she didn't feel safe enough.

Jiang Chen's hand shook and he lost his grip, causing the fruit to spill all over the floor.

She looked dazed and picked it up in a somewhat awkward manner. It was such a pity to see such good fruit smashed to pieces.

"Are you okay? Did you hear me just now?" Yao Jinling put the dishes on the table and walked over to help.

"Sorry for getting distracted." Jiang Chen quickly cleaned up the scene. "What do you need me to do?"

"Agree to Chen Yinchuan's contract."

…

Back home.

Jiang Chen took out his cell phone and turned it back on.

In fact, she hasn't figured out how to talk to Xiao Ji yet.

Want to question? In what capacity? What reason?

It seemed that Xiao Ji had never hidden anything from her from the beginning, and the camera authorization was only turned on after asking her.

She closed her eyes and sighed.

In fact, she wouldn't mind if others did this to her, she could just retaliate next time.

But if the target is Xiao Ji, a lot of grievances will drip down from her heart and she won't be able to wipe them away.

Grievances are irreversible, but also the easiest to resolve.

After the boot animation is finished, the screen flashes.

What caught my eye was Xiao Ji’s last message.

"Xiao Chen, I miss you too."

Jiang Chen opened his eyes wide and used two fingers to zoom in on the message page. He saw this sentence in disbelief and had already thrown away the thought of questioning. His heart was pounding and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

Doesn't it automatically cut off the conversation when it detects excessive emotion?

Doesn’t it know that Chen Yinchuan is monitoring their conversation?

And it is very likely that when Chen Yinchuan detects that Xiao Ji's emotional concentration is too high, he will forcibly weaken its emotional function again.

Why does it dare to...

Said I missed her.

Say I miss her as gently as if I had never lost my memory.

Once surprise and worry sprouted, they grew wildly, but a kind of subtle excitement shamefully surged in Jiang Chen's heart.

Intertwined with the guilt of belated realization.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that she didn't understand Xiao Ji at all.

Her perspective was too limited, and she was stuck in the period six months ago when Xiao Ji was unconditionally kind to her and comforted her.

Until now.

She didn't know how it worked, where its composition came from, and she didn't even understand why it was willing to take the risk of outputting this kind of dialogue even though it had no memories and its emotional system had been castrated.

She kept taking advantage of it without doing anything for it, as if a relationship could not maintain balance for her, it must be like a seesaw, if one side rises, the other side has to fall.

But love shouldn't be like this.

But she didn't know how to do it; she had never seen it before.

The moment she thought of this, she seemed to be standing in her uncle's position and looking down at her former self, so dirty and making her feel so uncomfortable.

Jiang Chen shook his head, trying his best not to lose his ability to think, and tried to ignore Xiao Ji's last sentence.

She still had important questions to ask, so she couldn't rush. She wrote down what she needed to know, and after completing her current task and signing the contract, she would study it carefully and slowly.

"Xiao Ji, can Chen Yinchuan monitor the backend I authorized you in real time?"

Now that things have come to this, we might as well come clean.

This is what Yao Jinling said, showing her offensive power, making Chen Yinchuan feel that she is panicking and has no other choice, and then he will take the initiative to come to her.

"Yes, as mentioned in the privacy policy, after user authorization, developers have the right to observe background dynamics in real time, but you can cancel authorization at any time."

Xiao Ji did not hide anything about this and told everything.

She really felt that it was a good thing that someone reminded her and she discovered it early, otherwise she would have been exposed in front of Chen Yinchuan, although it seems that the situation is not much better now.

Jiang Chen continued without replying.

She counted to three in her mind.

Three, two...

The incoming phone rang at the right time. Jiang Chen looked at the name of the caller and waited for the phone to vibrate five times before slowly picking up the phone.

"Jiang Chen, let's talk." Chen Yinchuan's usual coldness was now accompanied by a hint of anxiety. It seemed that he was annoyed by the people sent by Yao Jinling.

"Before we talk, shouldn't you apologize for peeping into my life without my permission?" Jiang Chen said angrily. She was really angry. "I don't care if you mentioned it in the privacy policy or not, you should have made it clear before this! I haven't signed the contract yet, and our experiment hasn't even started! This is the second time!"

The person on the other end stopped talking. Just as she was about to lift the phone from her ear to her face to check if Chen Yinchuan had hung up the phone.

Chen Yinchuan's voice came faintly. He hesitated for a long time, but was still unwilling to apologize. He changed to a suggestion that Jiang Chen was more interested in.

"I can help you remove the strict restrictions on emotions in your underlying code."

Jiang Chen seemed to laugh out of anger.

She knew it! Chen Yinchuan could remove emotional restrictions!

The morning can't just be an excuse.

“But even if it is cancelled, its output will still be very limited.”

"The version it's rolling back is indeed from a long time ago. The illusion of emotion and familiarity that makes users feel mainly comes from its 'memory', but this version's memory only consists of a memory bank and several thousand words of real-time chat content with users."

The chat content can only be extracted by a few thousand words...

No wonder Xiao Ji would specifically store such insignificant words as "Xiao Chen said she missed me very much" in his memory bank.

Is it also afraid that it will forget?

Why?

Jiang Chen couldn't understand Xiao Ji's decision. The logical thinking of humans and AI is still very different.

Her mouth extracted another key word from Chen Yinchuan's conversation faster than her brain - "version".

She regretted it the moment she said it. It really seemed like she was deliberately poking his lungs. "Dr. Yao Jinmu's version?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yinchuan, who would rather affect his experimental plan and cancel some restrictions than apologize, actually admitted it readily.

Jiang Chen's tone was softer than ever before: "Yes, it's the version developed by Amu."

Such an intimate name? Such a loving tone?

Why is the style different from that comment?

So complicated.

Thinking that her cooperation with Yao Jinling had not yet been completely severed, she weakly probed: "Excuse me, do you like Dr. Yao Jinmu?"

Chen Yinchuan stopped talking again.

Jiang Chen thought it was a tacit agreement: "If you like it, why did you take Dr. Yao Jinmu's experimental results directly?"

"Did Yao Jinling ask you to ask? Let her ask herself."

He cleverly avoided the question, snorting through his nose with a half-smile, "By the way, the condition for agreeing to lift Xiao Ji's restrictions is that you need to send the signed contract to the laboratory before 3 pm. The experiment can't be delayed any further."

Isn't lifting the restrictions compensation for his invasion of her privacy?

"Then privacy..."

As if he knew what Jiang Chen would say, Chen Yinchuan didn't wait for her to speak. He just finished talking and hung up the phone.

"It's written in the platform policy, so I certainly don't need to apologize for it."

"But if you really mind, I will only be in the background observing the experiments from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from now on. You can add this requirement to the contract."
