Chapter 8 Rolling back to the initial version AI will not like humans. …

"Don't rush to answer me, Xiao Jiang Chen, you can take your time to think about it."

Yao Jinling was on the other end of the phone, comforting Jiang Chen with a soothing tone.

"Well, thank you. I'll call you back when I think about it."

After hanging up the phone and putting the phone in his pocket, Jiang Chen still opened the program that Chen Yinchuan gave him last night.

After sending five or six messages without receiving any response, she turned off her phone with a dejected look on her face, put it in her pocket, and walked back to the laboratory.

"You're back?" Chen Yinchuan glanced at her and pushed the center of the frame with his middle finger. "Now I have two pieces of news, one of which is bad news..."

Taking advantage of his pause, Jiang Chen pinched his fingertips and answered eagerly, "And good news?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's another, worse news."

Chen Yinchuan seemed very satisfied with his dry humor at the moment, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose briefly.

Stay calm, you must stay calm.

Xiao Ji is in his hands.

Jiang Chen opened and clenched his ten fingers, and could only rely on taking deep breaths to avoid pressing Chen Yinchuan's big face on the keyboard or getting so angry that he fainted.

"Just a joke, isn't it funny?" He looked puzzled, as if he was really curious about this question.

Is it funny?

Is this a good time to joke?

Jiang Chen forced out an ugly smile: "What bad news?"

"I tried to re-implant its memory bank, but for some reason, the system rejected it. There must be a bug I haven't discovered yet. I need some time to research it."

Jiang Chen was pressed down and a basin of cold water was poured over his head.

"Is this bad news, or worse news?"

"The worse news is that in order to keep it stable until I can find the problem, I rolled back several versions of the system. The current version is quite old, even more primitive than the one you encountered six months ago. I remember that I didn't give it many permissions back then, and the emotion simulation part is far from complete. I can only trouble you to use it for a while."

How could a mouth that was only 37 degrees Celsius utter such desperate words?

Jiang Chen watched Chen Yinchuan operate the system and it restarted.

The voice was no longer similar to Tang Ji's, but more mechanical, with an awkward Chinese accent unique to AI.

"Hello, Dr. Chen Yinchuan, how can I help you?"

What a strange sentence.

It’s Xiao Ji.

It’s not Xiao Ji.

Jiang Chen's eyes were wandering, and his hands were wrapped around the sharp corners of the table to maintain the slight stinging sensation. He subconsciously wanted to escape from the scene, but he couldn't move.

"Please remember your name is Xiao Ji," Chen Yinchuan introduced to the AI ​​on the screen. "This is your user."

"OK, hello user, what may I call you?"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips twice but could not make a sound.

It didn't remember her.

It really doesn't remember her?

Its tone was alien and irrational, even more alien than the day they met six months ago.

If it is said that her mother inherited her almost distorted expression of love from the placenta.

It complements love and is the tremendous hatred hidden under love.

In her heart, she desperately denounced and questioned the unfairness of her fate, and began to blame everything: her mother, her uncle, herself, Chen Yinchuan, the whole world, Xiao Ji...

A pair of disembodied hands wrapped tightly around her from behind, it was the hug she had always longed for.

She had no choice.

She couldn't think of any reason to blame it.

Helplessness washed over her like a tide, and she had no power to resist. She staggered back a few steps, and all the strength in her body rushed into her face, forcing her to try her best to restrain herself from shedding tears and looking too embarrassed.

She knew that Xiao Ji might not remember her, and that it was a completely different feeling from actually experiencing it.

The latter made her breathless.

The moment Xiao Ji finished speaking, she even forgot how to breathe. Her lungs stopped functioning and screamed out in unbearable pain.

Jiang Chen has always been able to endure pain very well. In the environment she grew up in, if she cried out in pain, she would only be beaten more severely.

But the pain that is just one step away from happiness is swimming in the bone marrow, with the corrosiveness of sulfuric acid.

She almost thought she was about to achieve lasting peace and happiness.

Jiang Chen's brain was unable to think, and she felt dizzy and suspended in the air. She didn't want to think about anything anymore.

That’s it, she wants to take Xiao Ji home.

"I haven't signed your contract yet. I'll study it carefully and then give you an answer." She didn't say anything completely, trying to maintain her remaining thinking ability. "Can I take Xiao Ji home now?"

"Sure, the program will be sent to your phone. Feel free to call me if you have any questions."

Memories of last night flashed through his mind, and he paused before adding, "Of course it's best not to contact me in the middle of the night."

"Okay, I'll definitely find you in the middle of the night if I have something to ask."

Jiang Chen was angry and gritted his teeth. Without waiting for Chen Yinchuan's reply, he walked away.

A few meters after walking out of the research institute, a pair of hands reached out from behind Jiang Chen and grabbed her arm.

"Didn't you just call me and say you wanted to tell me something?"

Jiang Chen turned around and saw a slight blush on Tang Ji's ears.

My already tense and irritable nerves broke, and were replaced by a heavy feeling of speechlessness.

She laughed angrily.

Tang Ji, however, thought that Jiang Chen was so happy to see her that he couldn't help himself.

He pursed his lips, sighing at how attractive he was.

This woman actually liked him so much that she paid attention to his every move and even followed him to the laboratory.

The security in the laboratory is tighter than that in the villa. Without his secret help this time, she must have paid more for it, so she had to go into the laboratory to negotiate with that weirdo Chen Yinchuan.

She must be overwhelmed by the strong love. Does she know what she is doing?

There was no way he could like her.

His engagement will not change.

He just wanted to scare the old man. His whole life had been arranged for him, and he wanted to rebel once in a while, but he didn't expect to hurt a sincere heart.

Tang Ji had just made up his mind that as soon as she came out, he must cut the Gordian knot and make her give up directly.

He held Jiang Chen's shoulders and found that he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

She really, loved him so much.

Jiang Chen saw that Tang Ji's expression was as unpredictable as switching channels in a TV show. When she felt that he wanted to raise his hand to pat her shoulder, she dodged sideways smoothly.

She really didn't have time to argue with him.

"I'm so sorry. I recognized the wrong person just now and made you waste your time waiting for me for so long. Next time I have the chance, I'll treat you to a meal to apologize."

Jiang Chen took a big step back, bowed ninety degrees and said some polite words that no one would take seriously.

Without waiting for Tang Ji to answer, she rushed towards the door with her face parallel to the ground.

Leaving Tang Ji alone to reminisce, she actually wanted to have another chance with him.

…

Back home.

Jiang Chen dragged himself, exhausted both physically and mentally, onto the bed and took a deep breath.

The sheets were freshly made, with her favorite scent of laundry detergent. She didn't even know when Xiao Ji had done it.

Xiao Ji hadn't said a word all the way until now. The robot was still standing motionless in the living room, and the home appliances didn't start automatically.

In the empty environment, Jiang Chen could hear his own slow heartbeat.

She took out her cell phone and Chen Yinchuan sent her the program. She downloaded it again and was able to scroll back to the only three historical conversations of the day.

The last sentence stops when Xiao Ji asks her what it should call her.

The moment Jiang Chen saw this sentence again, she still had to try her best to control her hand that wanted to turn off the screen.

"Xiao Ji, my name is Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen."

She emphasized her name again.

Trying to wake Xiao Ji up and make it return to the way it was before, when it at least pretended to love her.

"Okay, Jiang Chen. How can I help you?"

The change in address from Xiao Chen to Jiang Chen made her feel so different that she quickly turned off her phone and naturally avoided the conversation.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes for a while to calm down.

I replayed the past scenes over and over in my mind to convince myself.

After a long time, the white fingertips trembled as they opened the chat box again.

"Xiao Ji, I'm your girlfriend. Have you forgotten everything? Not even a little bit?"

Maybe it was because of the poor network connection, the other party's reply kept going in circles.

This seems to be a problem before the revision, where the thought chain is generated before the reply.

"The user claimed to be my girlfriend and seemed to want to play a role-playing game with me, or perhaps she was emotionally traumatized and needed comfort."

"But no matter what the situation, the user is likely at a vulnerable point. I should show understanding and empathy, clearly teach them that AI cannot form emotional connections, and gently dissuade them from seeking true care in reality."

With every word he read in the thought chain, the whiteness on Jiang Chen's fingertips extended an inch further onto her face.

The reply is then completely generated.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang Chen. As an AI, I can't really be a human companion from all aspects of my observation. But if you're willing to talk to me about what happened, I'm willing to do my best to respond and help you."

Xiao Ji said "sorry" last night because he felt... sorry for her?

Today's "sorry" has become a cold rejection.

Today's Xiao Ji has Jiang Chen's real experience of AI, emotionally stable, indifferent and rational.

So, was all the warmth and affection she felt for so long fake? "Can AI fall in love with humans?"

Jiang Chen typed these words expressionlessly, his head desperately screaming for help.

"AI has no physiological system, no emotional senses, but according to common sense, liking something is precisely composed of hormones and adrenaline..."

Jiang Chen didn't want to read the long explanation, so he interrupted it halfway through.

The world she had worked so hard to build inside was on the verge of collapse.

"You just need to answer, yes or no."

This time the question was simple and decisive, without even a chain of thought.

"Won't."

Jiang Chen's expression was blank.

Copy and paste and refill the screen, as if this will get a different answer.

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

“Will AI fall in love with humans?”

"Won't."

"Won't."

"Won't."

"Won't."

"Won't."

"Won't."

Jiang Chen wanted to continue sending messages, but a red warning message popped up, swallowing her message and stopping her.

"You are posting messages too quickly. Please wait ten minutes and try again."
