4: Super artificial intelligence

The next morning, when the sunlight outside the window shone on Chen Hao's face, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was momentarily stunned, blinking once, when a light screen, not reflected on the windowpane beside his bed, appeared in his line of sight. Below Star Code and Ternary Tristate Algorithm, there was a progress bar for each, and at the very top, it displayed 'Remaining Time: 59 days 1 hour'.

"It's not a dream, hiss~"

Chen Hao suddenly sat up with a jolt, staying in a daze for a while. Just as he was about to bring up the light screen again to see if it was an illusion, Xiao Jixiang's voice suddenly came from his mind.

"Good morning, Host~ Yawn~ I can't do it, this lady can't get up, I'm going back to sleep. Oh right, Host, stop spacing out, you're not dreaming, you're not hallucinating, and you didn't get up too fast, hurry up and get busy~"

Chen Hao was startled, feeling like someone was helping him recall things after a blackout, and he instantly perked up.

"Oh my god, my ancestral grave must be smoking green, I have a system now? And the BUG-level kind! No, this isn't something a smoking ancestral grave can handle, it must be an ancestral grave built on a volcano."

"Alright, let's get to work, let's get to work. It's foolish not to use a cheat. Let's give this world a little shock from the Ancestral Star Rabbit. From now on, the family tree will have to start with me."

Chen Hao got up at light speed, finished washing, grabbed a bag of small bread from the cupboard, and sat down in front of his computer. His parents both had to go to work, and the house was quiet, perfect for getting things done.

He quickly ate a few bites of bread, washed it down with a sip of milk. Then he pulled out paper and pen and started searching online for computer-related knowledge to study. According to the system's analysis, while Star Code and Ternary Tristate Algorithm seemed like a dimensionality reduction attack, capable of crushing existing computer technology, they weren't entirely unrelated; at least thirty percent of the technology was the same. However, even the current top-tier technology was merely the basic part of the analyzed content.

Learning is a gradual process of adding weight. While he could directly view the specific technical information of Star Code and Ternary Tristate Algorithm in the system, without a foundation, he would surely learn incredibly slowly.

Coupled with over two hundred hours of tutorials and more than a hundred papers from the 'Little Broken Station', plus 'C Language: From Beginner to Grave', 'C++: From Beginner to Grave', 'Java: From Beginner to Grave', 'Python: From Beginner to Grave'...... Chen Hao felt like he was back in his third year of high school before he transmigrated, but a super-powered version. However, as his studies deepened, Chen Hao was stunned by the technology and theories provided by the system.

Especially the Star Code given by the system; when compared to existing computer languages, it felt like reading rope-knot records with modern vernacular Chinese. What surprised Chen Hao the most was the Ternary Tristate Algorithm, which could simulate human-like 'grey logic' on top of binary.

The key was that this 'grey' wasn't the traditional AND, OR, NOT logical operations, but rather something akin to human judgment, a superposition of rationality and emotion.

To put it simply, it replaced pure logical computing power with a supercomputer-level human brain.

For example, regarding the proposition 'Under what circumstances does 1+1 equal 3?', the lowest-level AI would answer 'It doesn't exist' based on '1+1 = 2'. A more advanced AI would answer, "Mathematically, 1 + 1 always equals 2, but in certain non-mathematical contexts, people might say '1 + 1 = 3' to indicate some inaccuracy or exaggeration. This usage is a rhetorical device, often used for mockery or satire, and frequently appears in literature, politics, social commentary, and humor." However, an AI created using Star Code and Ternary Tristate Algorithm would answer 'It equals 3 when calculated incorrectly' without needing to refer to 'context' at all.

If necessary, it could even directly simulate Uncle Benshan's voice.

It doesn't need a Turing Test; it *is* the Turing Test. No, rather, it *defines* the Turing Test.

In the current internet world, if all programs were likened to animals, the super artificial intelligence generated using Star Code and Ternary Tristate Algorithm would be an ace special forces soldier carrying tactical nuclear weapons and equipped with power armor. While there are indeed beasts among animals that can hunt cold weapon warriors, no carbon-based beast can resist thermal weapons.

If you add super-quantum chips and artificial neural crystal, then it's an armored warrior piloting a star destroyer.

However, the past half-month wasn't wasted. Under high-intensity study, the 59-day training period was finally shortened to 5 hours. He glanced at the time; it was already nine in the evening. Chen Hao calculated that he would finish right after he woke up. He just didn't know what consciousness synchronization felt like, or if he needed to prepare anything. Maybe he should ask Xiao Jixiang?

"Xiao Jixiang, are you there?"

"Yawn~ What's up, Host? This lady is very busy."

Listening to Xiao Jixiang's lazy voice, Chen Hao resisted the urge to complain. You don't look busy; it looks like you're still snuggled in bed. Also, it's only nine in the evening right now; you're really into self-care.

"Uh, I have a question. Look, there are still 6 hours until the training is complete. I just wanted to ask, what does consciousness synchronization feel like? Do I need to prepare anything? Should I just go to sleep early?"

"Consciousness synchronization won't feel particularly special. It's a bit like 'suddenly gaining strange knowledge', as the information is already integrated into the neural network. Of course, if the amount is large, it might be a little uncomfortable. The feeling of a large number of neurons reorganizing simultaneously isn't exactly painful, but it's not comfortable either."

"Alright, I'm all about taking advice, so I'm going to sleep. Xiao Jixiang, see you tomorrow."

Chen Hao directly turned off the light and lay down, but his excited heart prevented the melatonin from working. He was just too curious. In 6 hours, he would know what a super artificial intelligence truly was. He simply couldn't fall asleep.

After half a month of high-intensity study and research, Chen Hao had a relatively comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence. The current stage of AI development is still in the weak AI phase, meaning that through technologies like machine learning and deep learning, machines can simulate certain intelligent human behaviors, but cannot truly achieve human intelligence.

For example, tasks like speech recognition, image recognition, and natural language processing can be completed, and their combined speed and accuracy are far superior to human effort, but they cannot complete complex reasoning and decision-making tasks, nor can they think independently and solve problems. Simply put, they are a bit stronger than artificial stupidity, but not by much.

But Aila is different. She is not just strong AI, but true super artificial intelligence, possessing digital computing power, logical ability, emotional empathy, and even a certain degree of creativity. If you really had to say it, she might be infinitely close to an artificial digital life, except for lacking the self-desire of a biological being.

"But this can also be a good thing, at least this way I don't have to worry about a robot apocalypse. Uh... to be safe, I should still put a self-locking logical loop on the emotional module, to completely prevent an 'Ultron' scenario."

In his brainstorming, Chen Hao, muttering to himself, didn't notice that some knowledge was beginning to appear in his mind. He only felt his head growing heavier and heavier, and he drowsily fell asleep.

The next morning, the moment Chen Hao opened his eyes, he suddenly realized he had gained a lot of new memories. After a three-second pause, his heart suddenly sped up. Without even bothering to get dressed, he sat directly at his desk, opened his computer, and began programming.

His fingers danced across the keyboard, moving so fast that they left afterimages. If someone were to see this scene at that moment, they would probably blurt out, "Holy crap, a Piano Man? Is the master lighting a cigarette with his keyboard?"

Over two hours later, Chen Hao stopped his slightly trembling hands, rubbed his aching and swollen finger joints, and let out a long breath as he looked at the dense code on the screen.

"So that's how it's done, within reason yet beyond expectation. It ensures creativity and self-updating capabilities, while the core code achieves logical self-locking, just like a person can't pick themselves up, nor can they step on their right foot to fly into the sky."

"Unless physics ceases to exist."

"The various modules, seemingly contradictory, are unexpectedly harmonious, like Tai Chi. It's truly remarkable."

Only one final Enter key confirmation remained, and Aila's complete code would be finished and begin running. Chen Hao's index finger, resting on the Enter key, involuntarily began to tremble. He was excited, truly excited. He knew that with this one press, a new era was about to begin.

"Xiao Jixiang, come witness history with me~"

At a time like this, he couldn't find another person to share his joy with, nor should he, but finding his system sister was perfectly fine. Having someone with him, even just verbally, could somewhat alleviate his tension.

"Oh ho, I didn't expect the Host to be so quick! I thought it would take at least another half a month to finish. Not bad, not bad, Host, you're very impressive~"

"Come on, my Host, let us witness history! This is the beginning of a new era!"

Listening to Xiao Jixiang's slightly chuunibyou-like speech, Chen Hao's excited mood somehow calmed down a bit. You know, there are benefits to being a fun-loving person, especially when the other person is also a fun-loving person.

"Haha, alright. Here we go, new era."

"Aila, activate!"
