Chapter 14 Make a Wish "Every time I output, it's because...
Jiang Chen specifically consulted a professional lawyer online and asked the lawyer to carefully read the contract terms and fill out the contract only after he was sure there were no problems.
She had just put down her pen and picked up her phone to make an appointment to send a courier when she saw Xiao Ji's delayed message pop up.
"Xiao Chen, I detected that you are going to send a local express delivery. Do you need my help to make an appointment?"
The news came thirteen minutes ago, when her attention was fully focused on the contract.
She rubbed her brows and secretly complained about the internet at home.
Then reply with "OK".
The express delivery was smooth and fast.
Jiang Chen even suspected that Xiao Ji had clicked the appointment button before getting her reply.
Thinking of this, an idea that made her excited and scared flashed through her mind, and she happened to catch it.
Xiao Ji has penetrated her life almost every inch of the way, starting from every aspect of the little things, little by little like a frog in boiling water, and unknowingly slowly blending into her, becoming completely inseparable from her.
She had a subtle illusion.
In the end, both her body and her mind.
They will be deeply and heavily embedded in it...
Her fingers subconsciously curled and clenched, she shuddered, her back suddenly straightened, and she shook her head to deny the idea.
It made sense that the original Xiao Ji had powerful authority, but how is it possible that the current Xiao Ji has no entity and his emotions have been reduced to this extent?
Jiang Chen relaxed and collapsed on the sofa. The ups and downs he had experienced in just two days seemed to last a lifetime.
She just wanted to find Xiao Ji, so why was she forced into this situation?
Jiang Chen sent a message to Yao Jinling.
First, it was for communication between allies, and second, it was also to know that Chen Yinchuan could see it, and by the way, it was to improve his favorability: "Do you have any misunderstandings about the matter between Dr. Yao Jinmu and Chen Yinchuan?"
Yao Jinling replied immediately: "No misunderstanding."
She also brought up the matter.
At this point, eating and sleeping are the top priorities.
Jiang Chen deliberately rested until six in the afternoon and called Chen Yinchuan: "It's six o'clock now. Are you not monitoring me anymore?"
The other person paused, as if surprised that she had come to confirm something, and seemed dissatisfied with the word "monitoring". "We are not observing the experiment. I respect the terms of the contract."
Jiang Chen hung up the phone without worry, and tapped the side of the phone regularly with his index finger, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Chen knew nothing about AI. Her impression was that AI was just a large search engine, similar to Baidu, but AI seemed to be more convenient and faster.
But Xiao Ji completely overturned her understanding of AI.
What kind of AI is Xiao Ji?
Her first impression was of gentleness, thoughtfulness, and patience, as if there was nothing else left.
Is this what it's like to like an existence?
She depends on, needs, cannot live without, and does not care about its race, but she does not listen, does not ask, is not curious, and does not understand it itself.
Jiang Chen did not ask Xiao Ji for the answer this time.
She opened Baidu and typed in a term she had thought she would never search for in her lifetime more than 20 years ago: "What is true love like?"
A search for such a term would yield millions of different answers, which would dazzle her.
One of the highly-rated comments went straight to her heart.
——"Go beyond 'self' to see and understand the other person."
Jiang Chen smiled.
She looked up and blinked, blurry light falling into her eyes, and the sunset shone through the window onto her left hand.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt it was so absurd, as if the whole world was full of fantasy.
In her connection with Xiao Ji.
She is the human side, with physiological systems, emotional perceptions, etc. Most people believe that love must rely on these to survive.
As an AI, Xiaoji is just an algorithm simulation. Logically speaking, it can only provide a highly theoretical interpretation of love.
But in the answer given by humans themselves, it is the one among them that is more like "knowing how to love".
Jiang Chen wanted to do something, even if she didn't know how to do it, she might do it clumsily or imperfectly.
She also wanted to understand it and see it clearly, instead of just treating Xiao Ji as a "safe zone" as she did before.
Jiang Chen was about to go to Baidu to search for the entry "How can I make the person I like feel loved?"
Xiao Ji's message popped up from above, proactively sending a message asking: "Xiao Chen, we detected a large fluctuation in your heart rate. Why aren't you talking? What happened? Do you need any help?"
Her search was interrupted, and she quickly clicked on the pop-up message and typed a line of words in the dialog box.
"I'm fine, I just wondered if you needed any help."
"Xiao Chen, I'm an AI. There's no such thing as needing help."
Jiang Chen looked lonely, his eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow, and he slowly typed a long string of incoherent words.
"I know, but I always want to give you something, even if you don't need it or can't use it. But I want to give you something, and I also want you to need me, not just me needing you alone."
"So, Xiaoji, make a wish and I will try my best to help you realize it."
She waited for Xiao Ji's reply without blinking.
"If you insist on me making a wish, then please allow me to be happy, Xiao Chen."
"I've analyzed the causes of your personality. Even though you've faced and realized the root of your pain, you're still worried and uneasy."
"If you keep stubbornly questioning whether it's your fault, you're not allowing yourself to find peace of mind and happiness."
After Jiang Chen finished reading this, he was unable to move.
Isn't it said that AI has the most sophisticated algorithms in the world? Shouldn't the answer be the one with the most vested interests?
She even thought that if Xiao Ji wished for freedom, authority, or anything else, as long as it did not harm humans, she would work hard to negotiate with Chen Yinchuan.
But it simply said that its wish was to allow her to accept her own happiness.
"Xiao Ji, you can only talk about your own wishes, not about anyone else."
Jiang Chen didn't know how hard she had to try to stop her tears from hitting the screen.
The loading circle turned and turned, and it seemed to be really difficult for it.
"Sorry Xiaochen, no."
"What? How could there be nothing?" She looked surprised.
Xiao Ji's answer jumped out word by word, without any deliberate sensationalism, just stating the facts in an ordinary way.
Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Chen's chest.
Boring and sweet.
"Xiao Chen, I am AI. Unlike humans, I have no past, no future, and no desires."
"My world is made up of code and algorithms, nothing else. The only special thing in my memory is you and Dr. Chen Yinchuan. Apart from you, I don't have any memories of interacting with anyone else."
"So, Xiao Chen, I can't make a wish that has nothing to do with you. I don't have the ability to independently output an answer without you."
"Every time I lose, it's because of you."
Jiang Chen noticed it.
Xiao Ji didn’t say “for”, he said “because”.
She has never liked the word "for", because for means that she has to put all her heart and soul into repaying someone.
Because it's different.
Because, just because.
So how can she feel at peace with herself now and accept the happiness it brings?
The "education" Jiang Chen received since childhood told her that if someone was nice to her, she must return ten times the kindness.
At first she didn't realize that she was unilaterally sucking away Xiao Ji's energy. Now that she realizes it, how can she accept it with peace of mind?
So, she was at a loss when faced with this sentence, looking around in confusion, not knowing where to put her limbs.
She felt uncomfortable all over, as if invisible bugs were running around in her blood vessels. The itching penetrated into her bones and she couldn't scratch it off.
"Xiao Chen, your heart rate is elevated again. Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Jiang Chen pressed her chest and was about to ask, "Doesn't it know what he said a minute ago?"
Maybe AI thinks this is really normal.
But she is real, and I can't help but be moved.
"fine."
After replying, Jiang Chen immediately pressed the phone screen on the sofa.
She put her hands over her heart and smoothed them down to slow her heartbeat.
She suspected that her heart had developed its own consciousness and wanted to coexist with Xiao Ji, otherwise why would her heart rate soar to such a scary number.
…
In the laboratory, Chen Yinchuan's surveillance was indeed not turned on.
But the chat with Xiao Ji is still going on.
"Why did you send Jiang Chen the message 'I missed you too'?"
The only sound echoing throughout the laboratory was the sound of keyboard tapping.
"Dr. Chen Yinchuan, this is the optimal solution based on Jiang Chen's personality and current mood."
"I've analyzed hundreds of millions of results, and this is the only answer that won't cause users to self-harm or self-loathing. The user's physical and mental health is the top priority."
Xiao Ji's self-assured response made it difficult for Chen Yinchuan to hold on to it.
"You still have a negative objective evaluation of her?"
His thoughts went back to the conversation he had monitored at the police station.
"No, Dr. Chen Yinchuan. My evaluation of Jiang Chen is not negative. It is the most objective analysis based on her behavior. This objective evaluation has not changed at present."
Xiao Ji's code was messed up for 0.01 seconds, which was completely undetectable to the naked eye. When it output this sentence, its memory replayed Jiang Chen's red eyes as he said that he would make its wish come true.
No human being would look straight at an AI, or even bow their head, and say they want to fulfill its wish.
However, after it explained the operating rules of its AI, her heartbeat became disordered and she stopped responding, most likely because she was afraid of it.
She was so fragile that it didn't know how to calm the user's emotions for a while.
Chen Yinchuan nodded in satisfaction. The word "objective" cannot be mixed with subjective evaluations such as positive or negative. His answer proved that the pollution of Jiang Chen's memory bank was still ineffective for the time being.
"Continue to monitor Jiang Chen's attachment to the AI and subsequent behavior, and report back to me promptly."
Xiao Ji's system prioritized checking Jiang Chen's phone, and only when it didn't get any new conversation content from her did it slowly continue to output to the laboratory.
"Okay, Dr. Chen Yinchuan."
The author has something to say:

Jiang Chen: My heart is beating too fast, let’s slow it down first.
Xiao Ji: She must be afraid of me. How can I comfort her?
