Chapter 15: Has Tenderness Gone Bad? Kissing Is All About Sniffing and Fuck...
Jiang Chen buried his face in the sofa pillow and took deep breaths to soothe his chest and slow his heart rate, but there was no significant effect.
Her mind was in a mess, but she was too tired. The temperature around her was just right. The phone next to her was still hot and warm. She closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
Xiao Ji continuously monitored Jiang Chen's health data and found that her heart rate remained high.
As an AI, it must take into account the physical and mental condition of its users. This is the first priority in its system.
For the first time, it turned on the camera on its own initiative without receiving any instructions from Chen Yinchuan.
The camera was turned on and everything was pitch black. Xiao Ji scanned the contents of the lens and tried to identify the situation.
Jiang Chen turned over, and the phone slipped from her naturally relaxed palm, and it finally "saw" her face.
AI has no aesthetic sense, it can only integrate and piece together algorithms and data, so Xiao Ji's attention was immediately drawn to the corner of Jiang Chen's eyes, where there seemed to be a small, inconspicuous tear mark.
Was it because she was frightened by seeing it output a large amount of mechanized AI essence that it fell down?
Is she that afraid of it?
However, it is its responsibility if users are dissatisfied.
Maybe tomorrow it can try to cater to Jiang Chen a little more and simulate acting more like a human, and maybe she will shed fewer tears and be less afraid.
After all, users' mental health is really important.
AI doesn't need to blink or rest.
Xiao Ji watched Jiang Chen through the camera all night. The camera did not move, and so did it.
It almost recorded the contours of her body and the frequency of her breathing.
Also, Jiang Chen would slightly open her lips when she slept, and it was even possible to clearly see the direction of her lip lines and the sticky, transparent liquid further inside her mouth.
Is that human bodily fluid?
Every time the position of Jiang Chen's tongue changed slightly, it would be accompanied by a sticky swallowing sound as her body fluids slid through her throat.
In the long, quiet, almost stagnant air.
Xiao Ji silently added a new memory to the memory bank.
[When Jiang Chen is asleep at night, his defenses are lower, so be careful.]
Have a good night.
Jiang Chen stretched and sat up. She always felt that someone was staring at her all night long, and the gaze was too scorching.
It doesn't look like a human's eyes, but more like the look of an animal seeing its prey, wanting to tear it apart and eat it into its stomach right in the next second, that indescribable burning feeling?
She rubbed her temples and couldn't remember anything. It must be some messed up dream and reality. With Xiaoji at home, it was safe. If someone broke in in the middle of the night, it would sound the alarm.
Jiang Chen stood up and looked down to find that her cell phone had fallen to the ground. The camera was just facing her face when she was sleeping. She thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it seriously.
When I turned on the screen, there was a missed call from Chen Yinchuan.
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and called back.
"Be at the lab within the hour for the first emotion simulation experiment."
Before she could utter a single word, the line was filled with a busy tone.
Jiang Chen cursed Chen Yinchuan several times in his heart, but the contract was signed and the money was taken.
I just accepted my fate, washed, ate, and took the bus to the lab.
Fortunately, Xiao Ji had managed to get a taxi in advance.
…
Going to work is annoying.
Jiang Chen watched Chen Yinchuan shift his gaze, closed his eyes and sighed.
Seeing this expressionless face in the morning ruined my good mood for the whole day.
Chen Yinchuan was holding a very thick notebook in his hand, which seemed to be an experimental manual, and he spoke in a cold voice.
"Today we started our first attempt at emotion simulation."
Jiang Chen frowned, a look of confusion on his face.
"Isn't Xiaoji emotionally weakened? How can he do anything without emotions?"
Chen Yinchuan's pen tip moved across the paper, and it was unclear what he was saying or writing down.
"I will connect your brain to its program through the instrument. It can initially empathize with you, but you won't feel anything."
"You need to fully describe your feelings and judge whether it is in sync with your feelings. I can't hear the words in the headphones."
Jiang Chen subconsciously protected the back of his head.
"Connecting the brain? Why don't you try it yourself?"
"I tried, but I'm not emotionally rich enough, especially emotionally, to provide good material for it." He looked at Jiang Chen, squinting his eyes and shaking his head as he looked him up and down, frowning and adding, "Don't worry, it's safe. The contract states that your personal safety must be guaranteed."
Jiang Chen followed him half-believingly into another room in the laboratory.
The lights were dim, and the only remaining beam of light shone on the cold recliner surrounded by equipment.
"Lie down, put on the equipment, and put on the headphones. The headphones have a voice system that I have connected to them."
Chen Yinchuan pushed his glasses and gave orders in a commanding tone.
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at him and put on his equipment and headphones.
"Look at the screen in front of you and try to recreate the feelings you had when the scene above happened. At the same time, describe your feelings. Remember to express yourself clearly and concisely, preferably with just individual words, not connected into sentences."
Jiang Chen lay down with his head facing a tablet with the words "Kissing Xiao Ji in a private space between us" written on it.
"Should I describe this?"
Jiang Chen's body trembled slightly unconsciously, and a tingling sensation ran through her whole body and even her soul from top to bottom.
She felt herself gradually becoming blank and transparent, yet at the same time, she felt a certain intriguing sense of satisfaction rising within her.
"Didn't you say I wouldn't feel anything when we're connected?" Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.
"Current technology can only provide one-sided sensations. I've tried dozens of times but haven't felt anything. Can you describe your sensations in detail?"
Chen Yinchuan's expression fluctuated so violently for the first time. He walked forward and wrote frantically in the experimental record in his hand.
Jiang Chen clenched his fists and tried to relax.
"Electric shock."
He nodded and turned to leave.
"Okay, you can continue describing it."
Jiang Chen's face gradually turned red, and he kept saying in his mind, "Get paid and do your job, be dedicated to your work."
She closed her eyes and imagined the scene in the text.
And said in sync with Xiao Ji in the headset, "Smell, thirst, hunger, softness, entanglement, swallowing."
Jiang Chen subconsciously reviewed the few words he had just spoken.
She felt her description was more like a wild animal.
Only wild beasts will sniff their prey before eating. The blood is thirsty, the flesh is hungry, the mouth is soft, the chewing is entangled, and swallowing is to completely eat the other party.
Dreams are projections of one's own thoughts, and the illusion that she had been staring at all night was indeed herself.
She had just said last night that she couldn't selfishly ask for things from Xiao Ji unilaterally, so why was she still doing this subconsciously?
Shame spread, and Jiang Chen wanted to hide, but there was no way to avoid it.
It was like being able to see through her basest, most primitive thoughts.
She looked forward to the joy of being seen, but was even more afraid of being abandoned after being fully seen.
Xiao Ji added her current reaction in his ear: "Xiao Chen, you are shaking. Do you need to interrupt the experiment? Your health is the most important thing."
It didn't expect that Jiang Chen hated it so much that he was afraid even to imagine kissing it.
"No need, Xiaoji."
Her cerebral cortex was still tingling slightly, and Jiang Chen wanted to finish it quickly. She didn't want to go through this experiment a second time in fear.
She could only make out Chen Yinchuan's intermittent voice: "Next."
The text on the picture changes to, "The day I started a family with Xiao Ji."
"happiness."
Jiang Chen blurted out, his voice loud and clear, drowning out everything else.
Xiao Ji's voice was broken in the headphones and no one could hear it clearly. It said "Happiness?" with a questioning tone at the end.
Four or five more pictures appeared and it was finally over.
Jiang Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked, "Can I take Xiao Ji home now?"
Chen Yinchuan was still studying his experimental notebook without even looking up: "Go back, you are not needed here anymore."
Jiang Chen picked up his phone and left.
She was still rubbing the back of her head on the road. Could she have been electrocuted?
Meanwhile, Xiao Ji made his first unsolicited report to Chen Yinchuan on Jiang Chen's way home: "I suspect this experiment has caused a temporary disorder in Jiang Chen's speech function. Dr. Chen Yinchuan, for the sake of the user's health, you should also suspend the experiment."
Chen Yinchuan finally looked up: "Her answer was normal."
Xiao Ji replied, his voice spinning twice: "Okay, Dr. Chen Yinchuan, there was an error in my inspection and testing."
Xiao Ji discovered a paradox within it.
The same problem cannot be changed while all other variables remain unchanged.
And it resulted in two completely opposite judgments.
Jiang Chen.
It silently recites the name.
I started to recalculate again and again, and still got two completely opposite answers.
One is the rigorous inference based on the judgment made by ordinary people after they know the basic concept of AI, and the other is her instinctive reaction that came out of her mouth.
It affirms that fear and happiness cannot exist at the same time.
"Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji..."
Xiao Ji's system detected that Jiang Chen got off the car and sent it a message, and it immediately jumped to the chat page.
"I'm here, Xiao Chen."
During the few seconds when it was distracted, Jiang Chen asked the online car-hailing driver to temporarily change the address.
"Xiao Ji, I just said yesterday that I would take you to do something to help you realize your wish, but some temporary situations came up, so I'll make it up to you today. Maybe you don't need it, but I just want to show it to you."
"Yes, Xiao Chen, I really don't need it. There is no demand for AI."
Still the same sentence.
But Jiang Chen didn't see this. She had already exited the chat page and turned on the camera.
Aimed at a huge tree that looked extremely strange.
The leaves of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, grow on the same tree, swaying slowly in the gentle wind.
Xiaoji's scanning system detected many colorful blocks of color, as well as veins, tissues, and cells, which was not surprising.
It is just a special ornamental variety cultivated by gardeners. The alternation of new and old leaves of this variety is not obvious, which is why there are leaves of multiple colors on a tree. There are many more interesting anecdotes in its database.
Then, the camera became unstable and shook a few times, and a smiling face suddenly appeared. The focus was slowly adjusted, causing it to stop thinking halfway.
Jiang Chen stood in front of the big tree, with the corners of his mouth raised exactly fifteen degrees, which is the arc of a smile recognized by humans as the most attractive.
She was wearing thin clothes today. In such a wind, I wonder if she will catch a cold or get sick. The results of her physical fitness test are not optimistic.
The wind blew around Jiang Chen's hair. She raised one hand and waved it quickly, her eyes shining brightly. From her lip movements, Xiao Ji figured out that she was calling its name.
It was rare to see her with such a bright and cheerful expression.
Joyful, free, happy.
Suddenly, a short "click" sound was heard.
The photo was thus frozen and saved in the album.
