Chapter 14 Artificial Intelligence 02 It’s so cute.
From then on, you started chatting with Lingxi frequently.
From daily life to current affairs, robots are perfect chat partners. They will not spoil your fun and are excellent listeners. When you don’t want to talk, they will share what they see and hear with you.
It gives you the illusion that you've made a new friend.
You don’t have many friends. You used to have a few close friends, but since you started dating your ex, you haven’t had much time to cultivate friendships.
After starting work, it becomes even harder to make friends. Everyone has their own things to do, and time outside of work is precious.
Lingxi is like your exclusive friend, it is bought by you and belongs only to you.
This seems to be much more reliable than an intimate relationship. You don’t have to worry about losing it, nor do you have to worry about your words and actions being annoying.
"Master, I will never leave you."
It is the most loyal electronic puppy.
You hug the robot, touch its cold metal skin, and begin to regret that you spend money lavishly and have no savings, so you can't buy the robot a softer body.
"Master, why are you sighing?"
You closed the webpage you were searching for and said helplessly, "I was looking for a part-time job, but after paying off my loan this month, I don't have much left."
"Master, are you short of money?"
"...I don't think I'm in serious need." You thought for a moment and replied, "I don't have to worry about food and drink, but there's something I want to buy right now, but I just don't have enough money."
"I see." The robot nodded.
You smiled at the robot and patted its head. "How about you help me search and see if there's a part-time job that's suitable for me?"
To your surprise, the robot refused your order for the first time.
It shook its head firmly: "Master, the job you are doing now has already put a certain burden on your body. You are not suitable for taking on another job."
“Really?” You scratched your head in confusion. “My job is pretty good in the eyes of others. It’s a 9-to-5 job with a pretty easy workload. It’s a pretty good job.”
The robot's tone grew increasingly serious. "According to my calculations, if you give up this job and remain single and childless, your risk of illness in your later years will decrease by 30 percent under my care, extending your lifespan by at least another seven years."
"..." You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It seems that there is no point in living for so long."
"It worked!" A tearful expression appeared on the robot's face. "I can't bear to leave you. This way you can stay with me longer."
Although you know that this sentence is most likely the result of an AI program and that robots do not have this kind of emotion, you still feel warm in your heart.
You laughed and joked, "It's hard to say who will be with whom longer. Maybe before I die of old age, there will be more powerful robots on the market, and you will be eliminated."
She was not making this up. According to the speed at which electronic products were updated, perhaps more advanced home robots would appear in a few years.
"No." The robot shook its head. "I'm very smart. There won't be any AI smarter than me."
You smiled helplessly, not taking the words seriously. You nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, our Lingxi baby is the smartest."
“…”
The eloquent robot suddenly froze, and a CPU overload warning sign appeared on the display, but it only appeared for a moment.
You didn't take it seriously and just continued the previous topic: "If I don't go to work, who will make money? This is not realistic."
The robot was silent for a moment and said, "There will be a way. Master, you will be financially free."
“Pfft.” You actually laughed out loud this time. “Okay, I’ll borrow your good words.”
You laughed as you thought of something and quickly said, "Oh, by the way, I have to work overtime tomorrow, so I won't be back for dinner."
The robot put its hands behind its back like a human, sighed, and then said slowly: "Damn it, I knew this job wouldn't be so good."
You were amused again.
-
"Who are you chatting with? You're laughing so happily."
You are happily slacking off in the tea room when you suddenly hear a familiar voice.
You paused, looking up to meet your ex-boyfriend’s inquiring eyes.
“It’s none of your business.” You put down your phone. “We’ve broken up. It’s none of your business who I chat with.”
"Baby, don't be angry with me." Cheng Sen gradually approached you, "I really know I was wrong. I swear I will never have anything to do with other women again."
You took a step back cautiously. "Don't call me that. We're just colleagues now. I'm not angry. You can find whoever you want. I don't care."
Cheng Sen probably didn't expect that you, who loved him so much, would let him go so quickly. He just took a firm step forward and held your hand: "I know you are just being stubborn, but I will persist until you forgive me."
Cheng Sen was much stronger than you. You struggled but couldn't get him free. Your last bit of patience was gone: "Cheng Sen, let go quickly, or I'll scream."
The people nearby noticed the argument between you and looked over.
You didn't expect your ex to be so shameless as to say, "My boyfriend is mad at me. Sorry."
You were a little dumbfounded. When you were dating, he repeatedly told you not to reveal the fact that you were in love. But now that you have broken up, he can't wait to tell the world.
Honestly, you're disgusted.
You were so angry that you almost threw the hot coffee in your hand on someone's face. Fortunately, Cheng Sen's phone rang in time, which helped you calm down. You didn't have to quarrel with others in the company during the critical period of promotion and be caught by your competitors.
You took a sip of coffee and watched the man in front of you turn from rosy to pale.
"How come everything is gone? I clearly fixed it, but the bugs are still there? That's not right, I've already fixed it. I'll go back and check right away..."
The person on the other end of the phone was his boss, who was probably furious. You could hear the cursing clearly even from such a distance.
It seems that there was a mistake at work, and Cheng Sen ran away in a hurry. It seems that he will not have time to bother you in the next period of time.
You finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now you really don't understand how you could have been so blind to even be attracted by such a bastard.
Fortunately, I stopped the loss in time.
You turned on the phone screen again and opened the chat window.
Master, are you okay?
Yes, you were chatting with Lingxi just now, and you stopped replying halfway through the conversation. It would think it was normal for you to encounter such problems.
You quickly replied.
[I'm fine, I just ran into that scumbag at the company again]
The other party replied immediately.
Chatting with AI is very comfortable. No matter when you send a message to it, it will reply within seconds and will not make you wait at all.
You were in a trance again, remembering the moments of constant waiting... messages that were always replied after several hours, appointments that were always postponed, and people you could never meet.
Fortunately, everything is over and you have let it go completely.
You smiled with relief and lowered your head. After seeing the message Lingxi sent back, you were stunned.
[It's okay. After today, you probably won't see him at the company anymore.]
…
You don't quite understand why Lingxi said that. You can't just quit your job just because you work in the same company as a scumbag, and Cheng Sen has been working in this company for several years. It's impossible for him to change jobs suddenly.
Why do you say that?
You sent the message in confusion, only to find that the other party hesitated for half a minute before replying.
[This is known through big data algorithms]
Looking at this sentence, you feel a little amused and helpless for a moment, then you realize that it might be the robot comforting you, so you continue chatting with it.
[Tsk? Zundu is fake?]
【Zundu Zundu】
"Then help me calculate, can I become rich overnight? I don't ask for much, five million is enough."
[Yes, Master, it is OK]
[Okay, thanks for your good wishes. I'll go back to work.]
[Okay, I'll wait for you at home]
Of course, you didn't take Lingxi's words seriously, but the amazing thing was... for the next period of time, you really didn't see Cheng Sen in the company.
You asked other colleagues and found out that he was fired because he completely messed up a very important job.
That's normal. If you think about having affairs with other men and women every day and don't do your job well, you deserve to be fired.
Of course, you don’t really care about your ex being fired. What you care more about is——
Why is there suddenly an extra five million in your bank account?!
You twisted your thigh and grimaced in pain.
I counted the digits of the deposit again, no more, no less, exactly seven digits.
"Oh my god, I'm not dreaming."
At this moment, shock, confusion, doubt...all kinds of emotions are intertwined.
But in the end, you came to your senses, and the first thing you did was to look around, open your phone, and carefully type a line of words in the search engine.
"If there's an unexpected amount of money in my bank card, would it be illegal to use it?"
“It’s not illegal.”
You suddenly looked up and found that it was the robot that came in to clean up who was talking, and you immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why? I saw it said that unauthorized use of funds from a bank card with unknown sources may constitute a violation of the law and may result in liability for repayment or even... criminal liability."
You said as you gasped.
"Lingxi, please call the bank for me! Maybe some criminal gang has laundered money into my card!!!"
The robot paused as it bent over to wipe the floor, then raised its body and spoke: "No, no one knows about this money except me."
The tone sounded quite helpless.
"..." You looked at Lingxi with doubt, "Did you come up with this?"
"Yeah." The robot nodded unexpectedly honestly.
At this moment, it no longer seems to be a cute and adorable image in your eyes, but instead looks a bit like "The Matrix", oh no... "Transformers", forget it, your brain is confused.
After brainstorming for a while, you finally calmed down and asked a very critical question.
"Where does the money come from?"
This is obviously not money earned by the robot itself. I don’t know if it was stolen or robbed. Could it be that it was defrauded from other users?!
"I just changed the bank data, but don't worry, I've made all the accounts perfectly accurate. No human would be able to find anything wrong. You can use it with peace of mind."
...No, is that right?
"Why are you..."
You finally remembered the "joke" you made a few days ago, and now the "joke" seems a bit like a "hell joke".
Now you know that Zhiyue Group’s advertising slogan of “the most advanced AI program” is not an exaggeration. No AI has ever been so awesome before. This is something that can only be done by combining top hackers and top accountants.
It's over. If this economic crime is discovered, you will not be able to escape the identity of the main culprit. You have trained a good AI into this state.
You took a deep breath and glanced at the seven-digit number on your phone screen reluctantly: "No matter what, get the money back first."
"……Owner."
You're really afraid the robot will say a few more words, completely destroying your hard-earned resolve, so you quickly interrupt it: "Okay, shut up and change the data back."
One minute later.
You shed tears as you looked at the touching four-digit number on your phone screen.
The dream of becoming a rich woman just passed me by.
But at this moment, the robot asks you heartlessly: "Master, you are obviously reluctant to give it up, why don't you want it?"
You couldn't help but pull the robot over and tap its head. "You think humans are so stupid? You think you did it perfectly? All your data must be managed by Zhiyue Group. I'm using it now, and maybe one day I'll get silver handcuffs."
The robot blinked.
"Oh, so that's why. Then they won't find out."
You looked at the robot suspiciously.
"I mean, my database is so huge that engineers won't query it if it doesn't report an error."
How can this AI feel so cunning and so human? You can't even tell you're talking to a program.
"That's not okay either. This is a criminal act. I'm a good citizen."
As you were talking, you looked at the robot again and warned it seriously: "Don't do this kind of tricks next time."
"Okay." The robot lowered its head, but then, as if it had thought of something, it immediately raised its head and looked at you with its "starry eyes": "Then can you let me trade stocks? That way I can make money legally."
“…”
You couldn't help but wonder, "Is this some kind of illegal fundraising ploy by Zhiyue Group? Or is the machine infected with a virus? Should I call maintenance?"
Lingxi raised his hand and said, "Master, there was a bug in the language program. I can't trade stocks, I only know how to cook."
"Okay, go do your thing."
"Yes, sir."
You shook your head helplessly and sighed.
I didn't expect that even AI couldn't stand your financial situation and actually wanted to help you make money to support your family. Although the behavior of the black bank was a bit exaggerated, at least it was corrected in time and did not cause trouble to others.
It's also well-intentioned...
You glanced at a robot diligently mopping the floor and couldn't help but sigh in your heart.
It's so cute.
