"Qiao, do you think the flowers I bought are pretty? Oh right, Lv wants to talk to you about something."
Su Mucheng's cheerful voice always possessed a kind of magic that could quickly liven up an office that was originally so quiet it felt lonely.
From this perspective, Lv Bei actually liked this young girl.
It even changed Lv Bei's definition of a good woman to some extent.
Previously, he thought that a good woman was gentle, virtuous, and managed household affairs well. But now, he believed that an outstanding woman truly had a great lubricating effect, like pulling deities down to the level of mortals.
Just like now, the young man sitting there like a sculpture at least looked up and smiled, also nodding at him as a way of greeting.
This was already a very good start.
At least in consideration of Su, he nodded at him instead of just staring at him with a stern expression and saying nothing.
It was as if some good doctor was pondering how to let him accept a death sentence.
Qiao Ze even commented, "Pretty nice."
Although Lv Bei had serious doubts whether this guy had any sense of aesthetics toward life.
"Haha, I knew you'd like it too. Hey, Lv, why are you standing there in a daze? Have a seat."
Su Mucheng looked back and saw that Lv Bei was still standing there lost in thought, then she spoke up.
"Oh, thanks," Lv Bei said with a smile to Su Mucheng, then adjusted his attitude and sat down properly on the small sofa.
"What's there to thank me for? Oh, do you want some tea?"
"No need. You go ahead. I just want to talk to Qiao for a bit."
"Okay then, you guys talk. I'll figure out where to put these flowers. I picked out several pots."
Su Mucheng cheerfully went to tend to her own affairs.
Qiao Ze looked at Su Mucheng's retreating figure before shifting his gaze to Lv Bei, asking, "How shall we talk?"
Upon hearing these three words, Lv Bei knew his judgment was correct. Otherwise, Qiao Ze would have asked what to talk about.
"Professor Qiao, I actually came to apologize. Then I wanted to explain that, apart from protecting your safety, our mission also involves protecting some of your achievements. That also necessitates us adopting some rather aggressive strategies when making plans.
The reason we didn't notify you in advance was mainly because we were afraid you'd get worried. But in fact, all your personal and private records are classified as top secret and under no circumstances could they be leaked. If you find any leaks, we would all end up in court,"
Lv Bei's demeanor was very proper, at least his tone was as sincere as possible.
"Oh," Qiao Ze nodded noncommittally, then asked, "Do you understand artificial intelligence technology?"
"Um..." Lv Bei hesitated, then honestly replied, "I understand a bit, but definitely can't compare to you."
At that moment, he suddenly understood what Luo Benyuan was feeling when he sat here talking to Qiao Ze earlier.
Qiao Ze's conversation rhythm was very peculiar, making it difficult for anyone to keep up.
"I had a lecture about artificial intelligence at Huaqing University before, where a student asked whether AI might destroy human civilization. I didn't answer because I thought the question was rather ridiculous and not something a student specifically studying the field should ask.
Later, I realized I should have explained a bit. It has nothing to do with the so-called Three Laws of Robotics, but involves some complex issues in mathematical logic. Complicated to explain, but at the very least, artificial intelligence won't aim to destroy humanity, unless humans request it to do so.
Therefore, the so-called doomsday theory of AI has nothing to do with AI itself but everything to do with humans. Later, I discovered artificial intelligence indeed showed capabilities in some areas that make many people's efforts seem in vain. To some extent, this could also affect the development of human civilization,"
Qiao Ze said calmly, while Lv Bei kept on nodding beside him, like a primary school student.
When it came to these matters, he had no place to interject.
This was probably where Qiao Ze was the smartest.
He was good at bringing the conversation to a level he was more skilled in, and then using his extensive experience accumulated through his super-high IQ to make others run out of things to say. When fools tried to do the same to Qiao Ze, he would simply remain silent, at most giving them a pitying glance.
Really, Lv Bei had an epiphany at that moment.
This was probably why Qiao Ze rarely took the initiative to talk to others. This almost supernaturally intelligent guy always found a way to make the person who wanted to talk to him come to him voluntarily.
And his method also seemed to gauge whether the other party was truly beyond saving.
If they were that stupid, they probably wouldn't come knocking on their own.
It was the same for Luo Zhengyuan as it was for him.
Thinking about it, Lv Bei suddenly felt quite lucky. At least he wasn't the dumbest of them all. He could even rival a university professor in IQ.
"Like in this office, if I'm here, do you think there's anything related to chips in electronic devices or programs in computers that AI couldn't detect?"
Oh, so AI could be used in this way...
But logically, it made sense.
AI is based on mathematical logic, as are the underlying logics of all the hardware and software they use.
Clearly, the logic used by more sophisticated AI technologies would suppress ordinary hardware and software by nature?
