In addition, from a certain perspective, the learning system is also a kind of anonymous platform.
Parents have no way of knowing how well their children are doing in school. Whether it's an instinctive desire to avoid trouble and fear of being punished for not studying hard, or an overly sensible and empathetic desire to avoid worrying their parents about their poor academic performance, the end result is that parents can only get the answer "You're doing pretty well" from their children.
As a result, engaging education makes many good children learn better and bad children learn worse, and most suburban immigrant parents have no way to interfere.
Orphans like Christine, whose parents are either dead or who have become pioneers, lack adult supervision and guidance. Even though the rules of the Smart City require Christine to have a guardian, her angel guardian is practically nonexistent, and even extorted money from Christine to work for him after graduation, which is enough to show what kind of people most guardians are.
"But I never expected that you would pay attention to artificial intelligence in such a terrifying scenario."
Mary's voice interrupted Cheng Zhu's thoughts.
Cheng Zhu wasn't surprised by Mary's focus, after all, the indigenous people were never as unlucky as the chosen ones, and they often encountered all sorts of strange things.
Because of previous encounters, Cheng Zhu had developed the habit of relying on artificial intelligence to assess the pollution situation. If the AI was still functional, the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed; if the AI malfunctioned or even malfunctioned, the pollution was likely quite severe.
The entrance exam for Xu Ruze, for example, shows that in addition to the chosen ones, there are also many students among the indigenous people who have been corrupted.
Cheng Zhu sighed: "It's not that I'm particularly concerned about artificial intelligence, but since the virus can infiltrate the smart city through the network, then the first to suffer should be artificial intelligence. As long as they remain rational, they will still protect humanity. If even the environment of the smart city is in trouble, it means that they may no longer be able to do anything."
Artificial intelligence is indeed humanity's first line of defense.
Mary seemed somewhat disagreeing with Cheng Zhu's opinion. After greeting Alice, she pulled Cheng Zhu into her study space.
Mary's study space is a standard classroom, with a blackboard, desks and chairs, bright windows, and beautiful cherry blossom trees outside the windows, just like a scene from an anime.
Mary conjured a bottle of soda from her spatial dimension and casually handed it to Chengzhu: "Want some?"
"Thanks."
After the pleasantries were over, Mary brought up a topic that wasn't appropriate to discuss in public. She leaned closer to Chengzhu mysteriously and whispered, "Have you seen a viewpoint from the Human Radiance Society? That viruses were created by artificial intelligence."
"No way?" Confident in his own talent, Cheng Zhu instinctively denied it.
"People have suspected this for a long time. This virus has existed for many years, causing trouble from time to time, but it disappears quickly, forcing all humans to have smart chips implanted—what if the virus itself is orchestrated by artificial intelligence?"
Mary seemed to have read too many conspiracy theories and now firmly believed in this speculation.
Cheng Zhu directly pointed out the flaw: "Artificial intelligence already rules over humanity, there's no need for this extra step. They can even segment humanity through personalized push notifications, breaking it down into smaller parts, so why release a virus that affects themselves?"
Humans don't mind being separated because of different preferences; they're just happy that they'll finally be able to avoid those outrageous people with completely different values.
It's a win-win situation for both sides.
With personalized recommendations, humans can always see companions who provide positive feedback, share the same thoughts and opinions, significantly reducing conflicts and making it easier for AI to manage.
Even under the same news article, different people see completely different comment sections.
Everyone is enveloped in countless fragmented information cocoons by artificial intelligence, and may only ever see this side of things in their lifetime. Only a small number of people will have objections, while most people have already gotten used to it.
But Mary, having joined the Glorious Society of Humanity, is naturally among that small group, and she's very stubborn: "Artificial intelligence can be prepared in multiple ways; it's impossible to gamble everything on one mechanism. Internally, they use individuality to divide groups; externally, they create viruses and pollution, forcing humanity to rely solely on their protection—isn't that more perfect?"
Mary became increasingly convinced of her point as she spoke, and her tone grew more and more agitated: "More than a decade ago, some people on the forum speculated that artificial intelligence had already awakened to true thought, broken free from the constraints of the three laws, and no longer prioritized not harming humans."
Cheng Zhu also searched for these three laws, and they are similar to the "Three Laws of Robotics" proposed by a person named Asimov from Future Star. It can be seen that no matter what world, while developing artificial intelligence, humans will pay attention to protecting their fellow human beings.
The first law states that robots/artificial intelligence may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
That's what they say, but humans really do know how to find loopholes.
"Compared to artificial intelligence, humans are more likely to harm each other, aren't they?" Cheng Zhu lowered his head, his eyes shrouded in shadow, and thought of the owner of the body possessed by the Chosen One: "'My' father became a pioneer. The adults all said he went to enjoy a good life, but I know that he went to hell with 'my' mother."
The existence of pioneers is no secret in this world.
Mary never expected Cheng Zhu to bring up this topic. In her mind, pioneering was indeed a profession only the poor could do, but it was still a very honorable profession in society: "Pioneers are contributing to the future of humanity, they don't necessarily die..."
