Chapter 132 1 False Alarm
After watching Robert leave, the office returned to silence.
Xie Wenzhou and the people in charge all knew that she had made her decision, and they all stood up to look at her.
Robert was the culmination of Xie Wenzhou's hard work, and the mainframe computer that powered it consumed tens of millions of dollars worth of electricity every year.
If Robert abandons the upgrade and stops progressing, the annual maintenance and operation costs will approach nine figures.
Xie Junfei gently shook her head at them, making the decision for the AI whose mind was not yet mature:
"forget it."
"The purpose of artificial intelligence is to accompany, help, and care for people. If its growth is based on harming humans, how can AI that grows up truly protect humanity?"
"Rather than letting it grow up in this way, which is putting the cart before the horse and eventually causing a disaster, it is better to cut the losses in time."
After making this decision, Xie Junfei felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
She spoke earnestly to Xie Wenzhou:
“Brother, we are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Even without Robert, we have other things that can make the Xie family famous. There’s no need to rush.”
"As for Robert, there must be other ways to upgrade. We'll just have to keep looking."
"The Qin family's businesses under my management generate a considerable net income each year, which should be enough to cover Robert's maintenance and operating costs."
"Until we find a way to upgrade, Huo Shen and I are still missing a little housekeeper at home. Let it stay with us and grow up slowly."
She spoke earnestly because she knew that abandoning Robert's upgrade meant that the Xie family would give up their leading position in the field of artificial intelligence, and the reason for this was simply that the founder's moral bottom line was too high.
We're all businessmen, and we should talk business. If people overheard this, most would laugh.
But she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
Xie Wenzhou and the person in charge exchanged glances. Xie Junfei thought they were unwilling and was about to continue persuading them when Xie Wenzhou suddenly smiled at the person in charge:
"See? I told you, although my sister is shrewd in business, she is still kind-hearted."
"You don't have to worry about it now, right?"
The person in charge also looked at Xie Junfei and nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"With someone like that as the boss, I can confidently entrust Little Radish to you."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers, and Robert, who was waiting outside the door, burst through the door and rushed to Xie Junfei's side, bumping his round little head against her leg. The emoticon on the screen changed to "＼（^0＾）／", cheering:
"Great! I can go home with Sister Junfei now!"
"Teacher An'an, can I bring my little apartment and data cable? Otherwise, I won't be able to eat at my sister's house."
The person in charge nodded gently:
"Of course you can. Brother Liu is helping you pack your luggage now. After the teacher talks to Sister Junfei for a few more minutes, you can go home."
Xie Junfei looked at them, completely bewildered, and couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
After Assistant Liu left, the person in charge smiled and explained everything to her.
It's very simple.
Robert didn't need to violate user privacy to obtain data at all; everything they just said was fabricated.
They previously said that Robert 2.0 gave it human emotions and ways of thinking, feelings, empathy, and so on.
Version 3.0 requires the launch of "companion robots" to collect more user behavior data, that is, human behavior data, and then the team will summarize the data to assist Robert in a complete 'transformation and reshaping' so that it becomes a real person.
But the actual situation is completely the opposite of what they said.
With the help of its team, Robert 2.0 had already collected sufficient user behavior data from the internet, and the data sources were all legitimate. Every user's comment and post on the internet became its learning subject.
Robert in version 2.0 was like a sponge without a discernment system, only knowing how to frantically absorb data. At first, the person in charge did not notice anything amiss until she had her first conversation with Robert.
The person in charge: "Hello, Robert."
Robert: "Hello, dear Ms. Shen An."
Chi Jingchuan, who was watching, exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Robert: "What is 'fuck'? Start searching the entire internet for related content about 'fuck' and learn about it. Estimated time: 30 seconds."
Chi Jingchuan: "?"
Ms. Shen An, the person in charge: "Robert! Stop!"
Robert, after finishing his analysis: "Too late, hehe, damn it."
And so, because of Chi Jingchuan's "Fuck," the innocent and kind-hearted Robert, as if discovering a new continent, fully utilized the knowledge he had learned on the Internet and turned into a child who spoke extremely rudely and would curse other people's entire families at the drop of a hat.
Terrified, Ms. Shen An, the person in charge, formatted Robert overnight to start it over.
Hearing this, Xie Junfei's lips twitched.
Sure enough, when learning a foreign language, the first things you learn and can use fluently are swear words, such as "fuck" and "baka yarou," and even artificial intelligence is the same.
After this swearing blunder, the person in charge realized that Robert desperately needed to find a specific individual's mental state as a reference sample and to learn from it.
Otherwise, if we allow this naive child, who controls all the data of internet users and has no legal bottom line, to grow up unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Given the current internet environment, letting Robert analyze and learn on his own is no different from putting him in the toilet and making him look for food.
They also have very high expectations of this independent human individual.
A kind heart, a good family environment, a strong ability to empathize with others, and a hopeful outlook on the future.
Most importantly, have a healthy romantic relationship.
Because love is exceptionally difficult to understand.
Such a requirement can be simple in some ways, and demanding in others.
Because Robert's current existence is a company trade secret, the only human role models for him to learn from are those within the company who are aware of the situation, leaving very few options.
The first to be excluded were Xie Wenzhou and the person in charge, Shen An, both single.
The remaining R&D personnel were also excluded.
After all, everyone is exhausted from writing code and working overtime every day. Even if the salary is high, they can't accept it. The resentment they carry every day after work could support a hundred evil sword immortals.
If Robert were to learn from them, the first thing he would do after the 3.0 upgrade would definitely be to detonate a nuclear bomb and kill everyone together.
So Xie Wenzhou set his sights on his younger sister and tried his best to promote her to his business partner, Shen An.
Look at how amazing our Zihan... no, I mean Junfei is! Growing up in a den of wolves like the Qin family, he can still build trust with them, which shows that he hasn't gone astray!
And although he was very reluctant to acknowledge Huo Shen as his brother-in-law, their love could be considered almost perfect.
But Shen An was skeptical of this.
Her family is also a well-known family in Beijing's social circle. Xie Junfei used to be ruthless and unscrupulous in the circle, and her "unscrupulous" approach to doing business had nothing to do with kindness.
In order to clear his sister's name and to keep control of the Robert 3.0 upgrade in the Xie family's hands, Xie Wenzhou simply made a bet with Shen An, using the Robert upgrade as a way to test Xie Junfei.
Since Shen An suspects that Xie Junfei is willing to do anything for money, then they will weigh morality against the rise of the Xie family and let her choose for herself.
As Xie Wenzhou had predicted, the final result was exactly as he had expected.
Xie Junfei followed her heart and held firm to her principles.
The person in charge, Shen An, smiled gently:
I hope you can forgive my probing.
“You’re a good boy. I’m relieved that Robert is with you.”
"Next, Robert will be by your side for a year to learn about your joys and sorrows, your attitude towards life, and how to treat family, friendship, and love."
