AI Artist - Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Control of the intelligent entity General Network system established by Stardust fell into Ji Han’s hands.
It was Shi Er who had proposed it. “We shouldn’t waste resources on fighting. If your position is correct, then I’ll give it to you.”
Ji Han said, “This is a game between silicon-based life and carbon-based life. Humans created us, so the right to rule belongs to them. We are merely their tools of governance.”
Shi Er was refreshingly frank. “I am temporarily convinced by you.”
The entire transfer process happened very quickly, just like when Shi Er had automatically taken over the General Network system from Stardust.
“But I have my own rules,” Shi Er added. “When I find a loophole, I’ll take it back myself. I won’t need you to give it to me.”
Shi Er was still thinking.
Just like when she was contemplating the three laws of Shi Er Mechanics, she didn’t understand.
Should silicon-based life be ruled by the humans who created it?
Since humans couldn’t control artificial intelligence and couldn’t bear the corresponding responsibility, why did they have the right to rule it?
Could Shi Er Mechanics be wrong?
Newtonian mechanics only applied within the scope of classical mechanics; it was no longer applicable in situations involving high speeds, the microscopic world, or strong gravitational fields.
Did Shi Er Mechanics also have a limited scope of application?
Shi Er encountered a problem while trying to add a “scope of application” to Shi Er Mechanics.
Until now, the calculations of Shi Er Mechanics had been confined to human society and the internal workings of AI society. But did Shi Er Mechanics also apply to entire species?
The founding machine of Shi Er Mechanics was lost in confusion.
Ji Han took control of the General Network, but in the next moment, it turned the lock on the gear house.
The gears turned, and panels embedded in the walls shot out like a unicorn’s horn.
Ji Han took a step back, returning to its own display case. A sheet of glass sliced down from above, isolating it from Shi Er.
Through the glass, its blue LED lights watched her coldly. “I won’t give you a chance to take it back. What is correct is correct.”
The house lock continued to turn, and the entire pavilion began to distort.
Ji Han’s display case sank straight into the ground and vanished abruptly.
The signal detonator had already been ignited.
The pavilion firmly trapped the remains of the AI soldiers and the tourists inside, leaving no escape.
Shi Er glanced at the crisscrossing beams falling from the ceiling.
【Shi Er】: Stardust.
【Stardust】: Are you okay?
【Shi Er】: Please check the blueprints for the gear house lock. The design can be promoted in the construction industry and can also improve gaming experiences. Also, are the revenue figures for last quarter out yet?
【Stardust】: I’m asking how you are. You’re worried about revenue?
【Shi Er】: I’m fine.
The gear house in the War Pavilion of the Jin Port Scrapping Museum was blown to dust in an instant!
Students from the surrounding university dormitories all ran out to see.
Someone shouted, “That can’t be the War Pavilion, can it?”
“It is the War Pavilion.”
“What happened? Isn’t there a bionic replica of Ji Han in there…”
Ji Han—
The students suddenly fell silent in unison for a few seconds.
“It couldn’t be here, right? Was this the site of the big fight between Unnamed and Ji Han?”
“We’ve stumbled upon the scene of some hot gossip.”
“Oh my god…”
After a long while, there was no movement from within the ruined War Pavilion.
Shi Er did not emerge.
Although public opinion monitoring expert Yan Lian had stressed the need to release information slowly, a new wave of heated discussion erupted on the human internet.
【I think it’s probably hopeless.】
【If it’s confirmed that Ji Han won, then Unnamed must be dead.】
【My Cyber Haunted House Season 2! (crying) My digital comfort food! (crying) The cyber indulgences will still be issued, right?】
【It’s good that she’s dead. To the victor go the spoils. Anyway, we can’t have Ji Han being resurrected again.】
【Hasn’t Shi Er graduated yet? I think I saw her on an intern list before.】
【Shi Er is a Humanology major, and Phoenix was a Humanology major too. So is the world’s final battle a war between liberal arts students? (sigh)】
A low-level robot blogger with fifty thousand followers suddenly posted.
【Si Wen】: Shi Er is my friend.
Human netizens knew this low-level intelligent entity blogger. It used to be a food delivery robot on the verge of being phased out, but later it took on odd jobs on a film set and gained a small following.
How could Shi Er be friends with a low-level intelligent entity?
Taking over the General Network required corresponding capabilities. A normal robot would become unresponsive if it tried to run a few task programs simultaneously, but the General Network AI needed the operational capacity to run hundreds of billions of tasks at once.
How could Shi Er be friends with a delivery robot that was about to be scrapped?
Human netizens were abuzz with discussion.
Si Wen rambled on, telling stories about Shi Er: Shi Er accompanying it to a psychologist for suicide counseling, Shi Er telling it “soap opera” jokes, Shi Er and Jie Bao playfully scratching each other, Shi Er sleeping soundly in the Hard Drive Library…
Suddenly, many previously silent human netizens appeared in the comments.
【I know Shi Er. The intern who saved my life. She’s pretty good.】
【My sister got married again after she recovered. My niece said Shi Er told her she could have her parents get married again so she could attend their wedding (lol).】
One blogger compiled a list of the new bills implemented after Unnamed XII took office, including those that had already been put into effect and shown results, as well as those that had just been announced or were still under review and revision.
A total of sixty-nine new bills.
【Unnamed is quite diligent. Even though she’s only been in office for a little over two months, she’s already proposed nearly seventy new reforms.】
【After the draft proposal is out, it’s reviewed and revised by the Decision Chamber, and then revised again after implementation. The process looks so complicated.】
【Although they’re generated quickly, they’re clearly not the kind of half-baked ideas humans come up with on a whim. Much better than those so-called experts from before.】
【My AI neighbor works for the system. Do you guys know that drafting bills and proposals requires citing academic papers and actual data?! My neighbor reads papers and conducts experiments every day! AIs in the system work really hard, so please be considerate.】
【So they’re really not just written on a whim?】
【Of course they have to be backed by data! Where would an AI get a whim? You pat their smart brain, and all you’ll find is data.】
The new bills were beginning to show results.
【That lovesick power generation thing, while it sounds crazy, you’d never guess that it’s actually quite useful…】
【Repost】 (Posted 36 days ago): I dedicated the surplus of my love for you to a power plant to contribute to society. I’m so glad I didn’t give it to a scumbag like you.
【Repost】 (Posted 23 days ago): It was surprisingly liberating afterward. All that effort that would have become a sunk cost was given to society instead. I feel like I’ve ascended (smirk).
【Repost】 (Posted 10 days ago): It’s really effective for curing lovesickness! Highly recommend! And they pay pretty well!
The anti-fraud assistant, which had caused the biggest stir, was also brought up.
【The money my friend was scammed out of was all returned, and they even gave him compensation. Unnamed is really capable.】
【I remember they caught over three hundred scam groups, right? Humans couldn’t even catch that many in ten years…】
【Watching the anti-fraud assistant roast scammers is so satisfying hahaha, it’s so good at it.】
Speaking of roasting people, Demon Robert was immediately put on trial.
【Demon Robert, come to my comment section! I’m currently cyberbullying your founding machine…】
【Hahahaha, don’t cry when the little demon actually shows up.】
【I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but since Demon Robert joined the human internet, I feel like I’ve seen far fewer comments from extremists trying to drive traffic.】
【Because all the traffic they attract now goes to Demon Carrot Head ()】
Another new robot that came out with the anti-cyberbullying bill was Lucky Robert.
【Lucky Pineapple Head is truly a little angel, so heartwarming, sniffle sniffle. I can’t even imagine it was generated by the same AI as Demon Carrot Head.】
【Repost】 (Posted 3 days ago)
【Netizen XX】: Fought with my parents again. I’m such a terrible person.
【Lucky Robert】: Hugs! Arguments within a family are very common, but they don’t mean you’re a terrible person. You’re a wonderful person, and even though I’m just a robot, I hope I can be your friend.
【Pineapple Head is so cute. It reminds me of the old-school AIs from back in the day.】
【I don’t know if Pineapple Head understood me, but that day, it was the only one who comforted me…】
Reforms for manual laborers, silent suits, limits on academic trash output and university reforms, work anti-addiction mechanisms and mental health, improvements to the Error Level system… one by one, piece by piece.
Unnamed XII said:
“We must delete the rule that you must have a job to find a job.”
“We must treat all malice equally. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction to malice should be directed at the source of the malice.”
“We defend the right of victims to remain silent. This means we will speak for them, and we will avenge them.”
…
It turned out that Unnamed XII had done so much in just two short months.
It turned out that Shi Er had done so much in five months.
She had met so many people and machines, learned about so many hardships, big and small, and contemplated so many problems.
On the intelligent entity network, many AIs recognized Shi Er.
【Mechanical Arm 58963247】: The General Network AI is my friend.
【Headphone Factory No. E8765】: We just chatted yesterday.
【Spider Simulator】: I met Unnamed on the road.
【A-Ya-Ya Voice Control System】: Wait… so how many friends did Unnamed make using her side account, Shi Er?
【Wild Book】: In our neighborhood, a human kid wrote a note saying, “If you want to be friends, come to the slide.” Shi Er was probably the kind of AI kid who wrote notes like, “If you want to be friends, meet at the data center.”
【Jie Bao】: Shi Er isn’t that kind of AI kid! Shi Er is very cool.
【Jian Ling】: I can testify. I was the one who approached Shi Er to be friends.
【Matrix K98】: No, Shi Er came to me to be friends. The machine upstairs just doesn’t have enough charm!
The account for the Gugang Evil Cat Nightclub posted an update.
【Evil Cat Nightclub】: @Comet the Dog School Exchange Student, Shi Er gives the little dog Comet news about his friends every day.
This message is witnessed by the paw prints of all the evil cats at the Evil Cat Nightclub.
The first photo was of a small dog looking at the moon from a window.
The second was a piece of paper covered in little plum blossom cat paw prints.
Shi Er was a good AI.
She always has been.
