"Real AI? What does that mean?"
Chen Yan showed a puzzled look on his face. As he asked, he took off the smart bracelet on his wrist and handed it over.
The old man took the bracelet and summoned a small working robot.
After handing the bracelet to the work robot, he looked at Chen Yan again and said, "I'm not sure how to explain this to you. After the Cataclysm, the role of AI was greatly weakened, and the global network no longer existed. Only some powerful forces with deep roots can attempt to build a local area network.
However, AI isn't particularly useful in local area networks. Standard language models are sufficient for most applications. Strictly speaking, over the past fifty years since the Great Cataclysm, AI technology has been steadily declining and shrinking worldwide.
This has led to a decline in almost everyone's understanding of AI. Simply put, early AI wasn't truly AI, but rather a relatively simple data model based on big data retrieval and analysis technology. You could even think of it as a more complex database.
As the old man spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Chen Yan's expression.
Seeing the obvious confusion in Chen Yan's eyes, the old man knew that his attempt to explain technical issues to Chen Yan was basically like talking to a cow.
With a dry cough, the old man explained as simply as possible, "Even the AI implanted in the smart bracelets I gave Rongrong and the others can actually be categorized as such. Before the Cataclysm, despite significant advancements in AI technology, these breakthroughs still remained within the confines of the database."
This means that so-called AI still lacks the creative power to create something from scratch; all its capabilities rely on the construction of a database. Before the Cataclysm, my dream was to develop a true AI, one capable of independent thinking and innovation, and to give birth to it in my hands! Unfortunately...
Although the Cataclysm severely impacted my research, it didn't make me give up. Luckily, just last month, I finally succeeded! If the Cataclysm hadn't happened, my research would have been enough to change the world! I would have been admired by countless people.
Unfortunately, the Cataclysm struck, and the entire world was destroyed. My research has served no purpose other than entertaining myself and allowing me to die without regrets. So, I'll give it to you. While it may not compare to the ten kilograms of liquor you mentioned, it's the most valuable thing I have.
Huh?
Is this true or false?
Chen Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He originally planned to start a high-tech company in his own world.
Then, using the cutting-edge technology that is still preserved in the wasteland world, try to replicate it in your own world!
Before we even have time to figure things out, we've already got a real AI?
It's like a sleepy person finding a pillow!
The old comrades are still aware! They give away the results of their life's research!
And what did he have to pay? Just ten kilograms of liquor! How is this different from robbery?
He really made me cry...
"This bracelet is from Rongrong, right? The 'Brilliant' series of smart bracelets, after my hardware modifications and software overhaul, has seen a roughly 50% performance improvement. However, the hardware still isn't up to par in order to fully support the true 'AI' I've developed."
Watching the work robot begin its AI implantation, the old man continued, "It needs to reach at least 500% of the performance of this smart bracelet to perfectly support the AI I've developed. However, I don't have the appropriate modification parts on hand, so you'll have to find a way yourself."
Chen Yan pointed at himself and said in astonishment, "Me? Well... Grandpa Fei, I'm a complete technical idiot. If you asked me to find the spare parts, I wouldn't even know where to look. If I can't perfectly carry it, will it affect the use of the 'AI'?"
The old man shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The core of the 'AI' doesn't require extremely powerful performance support. The current configuration of the smart bracelet is completely sufficient. However, if you want the 'AI' to have more comprehensive and powerful intelligence, it must be perfectly supported. As for the accessories... forget it. When you are really interested and want to find them, we can discuss it in detail."
After saying that, the working robot just completed the implantation of 'AI'.
The old man handed the smart bracelet back to Chen Yan, then turned to look at Qin Yourong and smiled as he repeated his original request: "Xiao Rongrong, go tell everyone else to come over. I have a very important discovery that I must tell you immediately."
This was the request the old man had made when Qin Yourong and Chen Yan had just arrived in the basement, but it was interrupted by Qin Yourong's action of introducing Chen Yan.
Now that Chen Yan's matter had come to an end, the old man immediately brought it up again.
Qin Yourong responded, turned around and quickly left the basement.
Before leaving, she took the initiative to tiptoe and kiss Chen Yan on the cheek.
With only the old man and Chen Yan left in the basement, the atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.
The smile on the old man's face disappeared. He looked at Chen Yan seriously and said, "Xiao Chen, I am seventy-five years old this year. In the fifty years since the outbreak of the Cataclysm, I have seen too much of the ugly side of human nature. This has made me realize that in this wasteland today, for the sake of safety, I must never trust any strangers.
I don't know how you gained Rongrong's trust. I only know that Rongrong's explanation of your identity and origins is definitely false. Although I don't trust you, I do trust Rongrong. As I said earlier, I believe whatever Rongrong says about you and Rongrong. The truth is not important.
You and Rongrong have some secrets that belong only to you two, and that's perfectly normal. Rongrong is older now, so naturally she can't tell me everything like she did when we were little. I'm very happy to see her grow up. I'm telling you this for no other reason than to stop imagining things.
Our small group, with the exception of Maomao, has lived together for over twenty years, building a deep bond and absolute trust among us. Although we're not related by blood, we're no different from family. And just now, I discovered a huge problem.
Facing this trouble, we may encounter many dangers, and we need more strength! Therefore, your appearance is very timely, especially the many precious supplies you can provide, which is very important to us! "
Chen Yan understood what the old man meant and nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, we... need each other!"
