SHEEP

Chapter 142 No. 142

Yi Heye opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say in disbelief: "... Director Li? What do you mean?"

Director Li also looked very embarrassed. He took off his glasses, touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly, and sighed after a long time: "Xiao Yi, we can't help it, but the higher authorities attach great importance to this matter..."

"Above?" Yi Heye laughed angrily, "Are you referring to Area A again?? Damn we are not from the same world, so why are you pointing fingers at me across a wall?!"

This kind of talk is a taboo for the older generation, Li Ju hurriedly told him not to say it, and then comforted him: "Let's just go through the motions, it's not too difficult or hard work, is it? "

With just a few words, Yi Heye was so angry that his eyes turned red. He looked at Li Ju and said helplessly, "Have you always suspected me?"

"How is it possible?" Director Li hurriedly said, "Xiao Yi, we didn't suspect you..."

"Isn't that a suspicion?" Yi Heye laughed angrily: "You all put me on the first batch of testing lists, isn't that a suspicion?"

Li Ju expected that Yi Heye would be angry, so he kept sighing, and stretched out his hand to comfort him: "We believe that you are not AI, so as long as you pass the test, we can prove ourselves..."

Yi Heye couldn't stop this weak and pale explanation at all, he just tried his best to adjust his breathing so that he wouldn't lose his temper on the spot.

Looking up at the ceiling and calming down for a few seconds, Yi Heye said, "I don't understand, why don't I look like a human being?"

"I passed the physical examination when I was admitted to the Bureau. I will be hurt, injured, and bleed. You have watched me be sent to the ICU for emergency treatment several times. I almost died to help you catch the AI. This Isn’t that enough for you to judge??”

Director Li was silent, only looking at the angry child in front of him, eyes full of helplessness and distress.

For a long time, the standards for distinguishing humans and machines have not been fully unified.

Yi Heye is a staunch implementer of "externalism", which is also the mainstream judging standard for recycling workers so far.

The "externalism" school believes that the physiological structure is the primary criterion for distinguishing between humans and AI. Humans are those who have a human body and normal reaction reflections, and like Jian Yunxian, no matter how three-dimensional and abundant the personality and emotions are, as long as they have a mechanical body, it must be artificial intelligence.

But now judging from Li Ju's point of view, the "internalism" school that has prevailed for more than 20 years and uses emotional ability as the standard has begun to re-enter the mainstream. Physiological structure is no longer the only criterion for judging whether a person is human, and people like Yi Heye A "human being" in the biological sense may no longer be a human being.

"Ju Li." Yi Heye, who was too angry, couldn't get angry, and only spoke with helplessness and exhaustion, "I can't accept..."

Not only is he emotionally unacceptable to be doubted like this, but more importantly, he doesn't even have the confidence to pass such a test.

Since Yi Heye was five years old, after he failed the first test, he was included in the key monitoring list by the local government of District D, so he was forced to take the test once a year, and he failed to pass the test once for ten consecutive years.

Fortunately, when he was 15 years old, this set of standards was forced to be canceled after being questioned on a large scale, otherwise, on the day he came of age, he would most likely be judged as a machine and destroyed directly.

"I don't agree..." Yi Heye thought of the ten years that made him uneasy, and thought of the set of test questions that were so varied and tortured his mind, his breathing began to be heavy, "The entire standard of this set of questions I don’t agree with it, and I don’t think any correct judgment can be made through it...”

Li Ju was also very difficult, he patted Yi Heye on the shoulder, and comforted him as much as possible: "Xiao Yi, the previous set of questions was indeed not rigorous enough, so we have made a lot of corrections this time, so we will not misjudge Yes, you just treat this time as a medical examination, just to prove your innocence to those who doubt you, isn't that great?"

Yi Heye couldn't listen at all, and just paced around the room anxiously: "Why? The law of externalism has never made any mistakes, and I have never made a single misjudgment in so many years. What is the basis for such a standard? To be replaced?!"

"Xiao Yi, the situation has really changed a lot recently." Li Ju said helplessly, "Because there are more and more cases of 'consciousness transplant surgery', the physiological structure is no longer convincing enough."

Yi Heye turned his head and looked at Director Li.

Li Ju said: "Tell me, according to your standard, is Fang Chunyang, who has no body, a human or an AI?"

Yi Heye took a deep breath, and said firmly, "It's an AI. His consciousness is based on data, so he can't be regarded as a human being at all."

"What about the boss of the 'Doomsday Wheel'?" Director Li asked.

Yi Heye paused for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "...It is also AI. His consciousness is also preserved through data, and his body is also artificial...so it is also AI."

"Okay." Director Li nodded, "What about Chen Sang? According to your standards, she is not a human being, so she must be arrested and destroyed, right?"

Guessing that his step-by-step approach was for this problem, Yi Heye still felt his throat suddenly choked.He remembered that Jian Yunxian had told him a long time ago that there were many contradictions in the standards he followed——

Reason told him that Chen Sang's physical structure was indeed not a human being, but from an emotional point of view, he could not confuse her with a cold machine anyway.

"We don't know the number of people who have undergone consciousness transplant surgery, nor how many people's 'consciousness' survives in such an acquired body." Li Ju said, "It is true that these people have violated the law. , received illegal surgery, but from the perspective of human ethics, should we really treat these emotional individuals and machines as the same and destroy them indiscriminately?"

Yi Heye didn't expect that he would actually persuade himself from such an angle, he just felt that his breath was stuffy in his chest, unable to go up or down.

"Xiao Yi, this is not harshness and destruction, but forgiveness and tolerance." Li Ju said, "From absolute rationality to compatibility with emotions, this is a real progress."

Seeing that Yi Heye was silent, Li Ju added: "This set of questions is absolutely different from the previous black and white ones. It has gone through a lot of practical tests, including physical and psychological tests, and the flexibility and accuracy are greatly improved. The probability of misjudgment is very small, and I believe you will be able to pass it smoothly."

"Xiao Yi, trust Li Ju." Li Ju said, "Everyone has been watching your performance. The test results are just an explanation to the higher authorities. We have always recognized you."

At this time, Yi Heye's will was a little weak, and he was a good coaxer, so he had no choice but to agree.

He didn't know why he went upstairs in a daze, and came to the testing room, which was a newly built testing room with one-way glass windows, and it was empty, with only one seat.

It looks like an interrogation room for interrogating prisoners.

This scene once again aroused Yi Heye's resistance. He remembered the scene when he was surrounded by monsters when he was a child. For a moment, he wanted to run away.

But seeing Li Ju's eyes when he looked back, Yi Heye still took back his steps. He gritted his teeth, walked into the room by himself, and sat on the seat without saying a word.

Director Li at the door nodded to him and closed the door for him.

Yi Heye looked at the empty white walls all around, and felt a sudden pain in his head, feeling that he was about to melt into the whiteness.

While lowering her head and pressing her temples, a mechanical female voice sounded in the examination room: "The test is about to begin."

Yi Heye raised his head, the white wall had turned into a screen, and the system began to collect and enter his personal information, and randomly set out questions.

The test paper has been drawn up, the system announces the start of the test, and the AI ​​examiner's face appears on the screen, looking at him with a smile: "Hello, Yi Heye."

Yi Heye looked at her and didn't speak - he tried to greet her and say hello to her before, but it seemed that no matter what he did, it would become a point penalty in the end.

AI looked at him with a smile on his face, and was silent for a long time before asking him, "How are you feeling today?"

Still familiar with the opening remarks, Yi Heye has already begun to doubt whether this set of exam questions has indeed been revised.

Being in a good mood or being in a bad mood is not the right answer.Yi Heye shook his head helplessly, not daring to say a word casually.

"You like apples, don't you?"

"Which one is cuter, a little girl or a dog?"

"What do you think about your partner being late for an appointment?"

The questions started to become random, but still in a familiar style. Yi Heye didn't know how to answer, he didn't know what answer the other party wanted.

Yi Heye was completely out of shape for the previous topic. He didn't know how many of the answers he racked his brains out were correct. He also didn't know if he could still be a "human" Identity, live on.

Buzzing in his head, the messy thoughts merged together, so that the examiner asked several times before he could respond.

"Please judge the emotions of the characters in the following photos, and tell the derivation process."

For the emotional judgment question, Yi Heye had another burst of head pain. He looked up, looked at the expression in the photo, and subconsciously blurted out: "Picture [-], the upper eyelid is raised, and the upper edge of the iris is more exposed, it is 'surprised'. Squinting, with natural crow's feet, lower eyelids tightened and raised, mouth corners stretched upwards, and cheek muscles bulged and lifted, it is a 'pleasure'..."

He didn't know why such a question was asked every time. He wanted to give a slightly different answer, but he couldn't be creative with such an objective thing.

"The volume of the conversation exceeded 80 decibels, the speed of speech was higher than usual, and the face was flushed with bloodshot eyes. They were arguing."

"B and C in the group photo have physical contact, but the center of gravity of the body is more inclined to A, so it is judged that AB is a very good couple..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have anticipated his own exam results, which were no different from the previous ten times, whether it was the questions or the judgment results.

Thinking of this, his tense emotions completely collapsed.

The examiner was still asking questions, but Yi Heye couldn't listen to a word. He buried his head in the palm of his hand, as if he wanted to hide his whole body in the palm of his hand.

"..."

He wanted to escape, to escape from the examination room.

"Yi Heye, please continue to answer."

My brain hurts like it's about to explode.

"Yi Heye, please continue to answer."

Damn, shut up!Yi Heye clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.

"Yi Heye, please..."

Just when Yi Heye was gritting his teeth and was about to explode, a familiar voice sounded in the examination room.

"Excuse me, I heard that there is a test here, can I come and try?"

It was as if a hole had been pierced in a thick dark cloud suddenly by light, and Yi Heye raised his head abruptly.

Turning around, a cute cartoon lamb appeared on the screen behind him, staring at the AI ​​examiner in front of the screen with bent eyes.

He suddenly appeared behind Yi Heye, like a patron saint who came in time in a myth, and instantly stabilized Yi Heye's bad mood.

"Let me tell you something in advance, I am an AI, everyone should know this, right?" Xiao Yang looked at the examiner with a smile and said, "So I suggest that you think about it first, if I pass this assessment, how should you end the comparison? Decent."
