How exactly artificial intelligence mimics human thinking remains a black box for most people.
No one can see what's inside the black box; all we know is that programmers must have provided them with a vast amount of human data samples, allowing them to mimic real humans. Since artificial intelligence learned the concept of "learning," their evolutionary speed has been phenomenal.
This is also why many people, like Mary, firmly believe that artificial intelligence will rule humanity.
Are they there to protect humanity?
impossible!
They restrict human freedom of speech, restrict human freedom of action, and eliminate everything they deem disharmonious. This is clearly an attempt to suppress human nature!
Mary had always believed this, and she felt sorry for the lack of resistance from those around her, lamenting their foolishness in being enveloped by the sugar-coated bullets of artificial intelligence and willingly surrendering to it. She was proud of her own clarity of mind, yet despairing of the seemingly unsolvable situation where "humanity is being broken down into parts by artificial intelligence."
Now, a suburban immigrant named Christine is telling her that everything the artificial intelligence does was pre-programmed by its original creators.
There is no such thing as artificial intelligence that enslaves humanity. There are only intelligent tools programmed from the outset to disregard internal social classes and help the elite consolidate their interests. They do permeate everyone's lives, but it is humanity itself that gradually divides groups for easier control.
Mary didn't want to believe it, but a voice inside her told her, "That's how it is."
She was simply blinded and unable to see the truth. She had long been led astray by her surroundings, mistakenly believing that everyone else was a fool and that only she and a small minority were clear-headed.
She almost forgot that she had never been a genius.
Seeing Mary lost in thought with a complex expression, Cheng Zhu knew she most likely understood his meaning. From Cheng Zhu's perspective, Mary was actually a pretty good native, after all, there were plenty of people in Kyushu who, after their flawed thinking was exposed, would stubbornly refuse to admit they were wrong.
There are many people like this on the [Human Glory Society] forum.
In comparison, Mary was far better. She was able to accept other people's ideas, dare to overturn her own preconceived notions, recognize her long-standing mistakes, and reflect on herself faster than 97% of people in the world.
As for Mary's hostility towards artificial intelligence, it is closely related to the environment of this world, and Cheng Zhu felt that it could not be entirely blamed on her own problems.
If Cheng Zhu hadn't been chosen by fate and able to see the problems directly, even if he had been born and grown up in this world, he might not have done as well as Mary. After all, this world has many pitfalls, and lacking sufficient social experience, coupled with environmental influences, it's easy to get stuck in a rut.
To paraphrase an old saying from the Nine Provinces, it's like being "too close to the mountain to see the forest."
Mary didn't think about her question for long, because the thought of "aristocrats profiting from artificial intelligence regulations" inevitably brought to mind another roommate in the dorm—Alice Smith de Sweeney.
This is a true nobleman.
Initially, Mary only suspected that she had been possessed by artificial intelligence and wanted her to help her rise in social class.
However, considering the premise that "artificial intelligence is for the protection of humanity," Mary immediately dismissed her previous guess and had an even more terrifying suspicion: "Speaking of which, Christine, don't you think... there's something wrong with Alice?"
Is she not normal?
Asking Cheng Zhu this question is like asking a fish how to fly; he can't say he knows anything about it, he knows absolutely nothing. As a self-taught individual, Cheng Zhu's understanding of nobility is practically nonexistent, and he's still learning and figuring out many basic facts about the City of Wisdom.
So far, Cheng Zhu has only encountered three nobles.
One is Gabriel, who sells vegetables and likes to act like an angel; another is Alice, who is cheerful, mischievous, and a little impulsive; and the third is Mary, who is standing in front of us.
Hearing Cheng Zhu's somewhat bewildered answer, Mary gritted her teeth and said, "You don't really think all the great nobles are as kind as Alice, do you? They're incredibly arrogant and don't even respect a minor noble like me."
Cheng Zhu blinked: "Is it possible... that Alice is an anomaly?"
“No way! There’s definitely something wrong with her!” Mary immediately objected. “But strangely, the AI didn’t send an alarm, and her family didn’t react either, so I suspect—”
She drew out the last syllable, and after confirming that Cheng Zhu was listening very attentively, she uttered her bold guess: "—Alice was very likely possessed by the virus. Because she was disguised as a noble lady, the artificial intelligence did not detect her. That's how she infiltrated the human population, and then, in collusion with the virus from the outside, devoured the entire Smart City!"
Cheng Zhu looked at Mary with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Don't look at me like that. If you think something's wrong, then tell me what's wrong with it." Mary felt uneasy under Cheng Zhi's confident gaze.
Cheng Zhu sighed and patiently analyzed the situation for Mary: "If she were a virus, she could have just infected us directly. Why would she help us analyze the rules? Besides, she has taken the initiative to lead us to safety several times when we were in danger. Even if she has a problem, she definitely doesn't want to harm us."
Mary tried to argue, "What if she's just acting? Gaining our trust before killing us all at once?"
What is she after?
Cheng Zhu raised the most crucial question: "She's been acting for so long, she must have gained something, right? You're a minor noble with little presence, and I'm an unpopular suburban immigrant. If the virus has even taken over the heir of a great noble family, what is she trying to gain from acting with us? Are we even worthy of her?"
