The first story Su Ya told was about a robot called "Xiao Qi". This robot was manufactured in 2034. It was a robot that could only speak some simple languages and was sold as a nanny.
The existence of Xiaoqi triggered a debate between the male owner and the female owner of the house. The male owner felt that since there are three laws, it is impossible for robots to harm humans. However, the female owner obviously held a different view. She believed that a machine is a machine.
If some of its parts break one day, it may no longer be under human control.
The argument between the male host and the female host exactly reflects the contradictions in the entire society.
One party believes that robots will strictly follow the procedures and there will be absolutely no problems, while the other party believes that robots are a safety hazard and will threaten humans.
The chapter "Xiao Qi" does not tell many stories, nor is it brilliant, but the thoughts about the existence of robots revealed in it are very interesting.
However, this kind of thinking is not new. Robots have been around for so many years. With the development of science and technology, the technology of robots has become higher and higher. Thinking and discussion about robots have lasted for many years.
The difference in this book is that the stories told are very small things, and they are also very detailed, so detailed that people think these things are about to happen around people.
Mitate Shinyu touched his head. At the end of this chapter, Su Ya mentioned another story, about the Mercury expedition team, but the novel ended here.
"Appetizing." Mitate Shinyu said with some distress.
…
Ah sneeze!
Zhang Zhong had just finished taking a shower when he suddenly sneezed.
Maybe someone is missing him.
Before taking a shower, he took a look at the website, the new book "I, Robot" and it was uploaded by Chen Qing.
In fact, there are many difficulties in writing this book, and there are many things that need to be changed.
For example, the character "Xiao Qi" in the original work is actually a nanny robot that cannot speak, because there were no robots equipped with voice at that time.
But Zhang Zhong cannot write like this, because now that robots have developed to this point, most people will know that the difficulty of realizing voice functions and walking functions is much lower than the intelligent development of robots.
In other words, it is impossible for a robot as smart as "Xiaoqi" to be equipped with voice functions.
Now even if you ask a junior high school student, they should know this.
However, Asimov didn't know that this was not Asimov's fault, but the limitations of the times.
Zhang Zhong remembered that there was an imagination about space in Liaozhai. It was said that a man was sent up to the sky and saw the stars in the sky. Some of them were like wine cups and some were like wine bottles. He could pull them down with a handful of his hand.
Is this because ancient people were stupid? Of course not, it was just that technology was not developed at that time and they had less information.
The imagination about robot technology in "I, Robot" has the limitations of the times. What Zhang wanted to do was to remove the traces of this era and retain the most essential parts.
He did not expect readers to find the story exciting. He just wanted all future robot novels to follow these three laws. Whenever someone writes a robot novel in the future, they will definitely think of "I, Robot".
In fact, the "Three Laws of Robotics" were not quickly accepted by people.
The next morning, news of Zhang's new book spread.
Zhang Zhong reached out to the field of robot novels and even came up with the "Three Laws of Robotics".
There are mixed opinions about these three laws.
Some people say that these three laws are intertwined, and it is difficult for robots to escape this logical chain without problems.
But some people say that these three laws are full of flaws and are simply vulnerable.
"Obviously Zhang Zhong took it for granted and tried to use three laws to solve the problem of robots. These three laws are indeed very interesting at first glance, but if you look closely, you find that there are big flaws. I can just say something and it will make people happy.
These three laws are paralyzed. For example, prisoners must be executed, but the first of the three laws of robotics proposed by Zhang Zhong is that it cannot harm people and cannot ignore death. So what should the robot do at this time? According to the three laws,
We must save this death row prisoner at all costs."
"Indeed, the flaws in these three laws are too obvious."
"The simplest solution is not to develop intelligent robots. As long as the robots are not intelligent, all problems will not occur."
"Yes, developing AI is simply playing with fire. In the end, humans will definitely be controlled by robots."
"Yeah, are there too many novels about robots usurping the throne? Can you be more careful? Zhang Zhong is out of his element this time."
"It won't be a big deal if you play with it. It's just a science fiction novel. Just read the story."
Just when everyone was discussing the unreliability of the three laws of robotics, the second chapter of "I, Robot" "Ring Dance" was released.
In this chapter, readers saw a scientific concept called "positron brain", that is to say, the potential difference of positrons will affect the priority of behavior.
It seems that in this way, the three laws have some more sufficient supplements, but this is not enough.
Moreover, in this story, the three laws themselves overturned, and the robot that went to mine trapped itself because of the problems with the three laws.
Looking at it this way, it seems that Zhang Zhong himself knows that the three laws he wrote are not perfect.
Some people started to say good things for Zhang Zhong.
[Zhang Zhong is not trying to use the three laws to solve all problems. From the current point of view, his novels are more about discussions about robot ethics. He did not give a qualitative discussion of this discussion, but more about wanting to let people know about it.
Let us readers think about it. Moreover, the idea of positronic brain is also very interesting, and it does solve many problems, doesn’t it? 】
[Yes, there is no discussion in the discussion? In this way, it is correct that everyone unanimously writes about the threat of robots. 】
[But having said that, the robots in the novel are not very intelligent, they look so stupid.]
[Indeed, looking at the settings, they seem to be relatively early-generation robots. 】
[This narrative is in the form of memories, and there should be smarter robots later.]
[By the way, is it really possible to build a robot like Xiaoqi in 2034? 】
[It should be possible, and I feel that the current technology can even create such a robot, but there is no way to achieve civilian use. 】
[Come on, today's robots are not very smart. They are purely supported by databases. Xiaoqi doesn't think it is smart, but it is very bionic. The current level of robots really can't do it. 】
