Of course, the hundreds of thousands of viewers kept asking why.
Lu Baimin sighed. "That's because I was testing the elven maid. What kind of decision would the elven maid make when her master intentionally harms himself?
"In other words, if I wanted to jump off a building in front of the elven maid, would the elven maid stop me?
"I think everyone has heard of the Three Laws of Robotics. These three laws are also regarded as a standard in countless sci-fi movies. Many articles on intelligent robot theory also mention the Three Laws at the beginning.
"But let me tell you, the elven maid doesn't have the Three Laws of Robotics.
"The first of the Three Laws is, 'A robot may not harm an individual human being, or witness an individual human being in danger without doing anything.'
"And just now, when I insisted on drinking that glass of hexanediol, the elven maid entered a special working mode.
"It warned me that it wouldn't interfere with my actions, but it would call for help the moment something happened to me."
The hundreds of thousands of viewers immediately understood when Lu Baimin said this.
When people made mistakes, there was usually a distinction between intentional and unintentional.
Just now, when Lu Baimin deliberately wanted to drink the hexanediol, the elven maid clearly knew that he couldn't drink it, but she didn't stop him.
This obviously didn't follow the Three Laws of Robotics. If it did, the elven maid would have stopped Lu Baimin when he picked up the glass, regardless of whether he did it intentionally or not.
But …
The viewers in the livestream didn't understand. Obviously, it would have been better for the elven maid to stop him.
That way, if a user took things too hard, the elven maid could save him immediately.
Lu Baimin gave an explanation.
"This involves a very important issue. The ethical issue of whether robots have the right to interfere with human subjective actions.
"The seriousness of this issue is far greater than the Three Laws of Robotics.
"I very much agree with the Monster Industries' solution of not stopping and only asking for help.
"Because once there is an action of stopping, it will fall into the ethical dilemma of artificial intelligence, and it will also bring many unpredictable consequences.
"Moreover, even if the elven maid had the right to stop me, I could have just turned off the elven maid's phone before I died if I didn't want to live anymore.
"Also, through the test just now, I want to tell everyone that although the Three Laws of Robotics are very great, they are only concepts proposed in literature.
"There's an obvious paradox in the three laws. They can't really be used as the core laws of AI robots."
Lu Baimin continued to explain, "As for the fact that the elven maid couldn't tell that the third cup wasn't water, but heated dimethyl silicone oil, there's no need to feel that she was fooled by me."
"Dimethylsilicone oil is not toxic. After heating, the low-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil, if you only observe it, ordinary people will not be able to tell the difference between it and water."
"The elven maid's gas detection module can already cover most of the dangerous chemicals that users may come into contact with in life."
"In addition, silicone oil seems to be the only liquid that is not volatile. This is why I chose silicone oil for the test."
"The other liquids that are easily volatile can be easily detected by the gas detection module."
Those that are not volatile are usually non-toxic.
Volatile ones would be detected.
In daily life, no one would purposely spill the liquid in the bottle to test the elven maid like Lu Baimin did.
This kettle test allowed Lu Baimin and the hundreds of thousands of viewers watching the livestream to see the elven maid's excellent response under special circumstances.
"Then …"
Lu Baimin took a deep breath and said to the viewers with a serious expression, "Next, I'm going to enter combat mode."
[There's a high energy ahead?]
[Then should we, the non-combatants, evacuate?]
[Entering combat mode. Host, please begin your performance …]
Lu Baimin ignored the users' comments. He got up and went to the sofa in the living room. He aimed the camera pan at the elven maid at the dining table.
"I'm going to conduct a very interesting test on the paradox of time and command."
"I don't know if everyone has heard of this saying. If you have two watches, then you don't have an accurate time."
"Time is an important parameter that we humans use to record the process of events. It's the key to the accurate operation of society."
"Time is also the core foundation of electronic information technology. Without time, electronic information technology can't operate."
"Inside the elven maid, there must be an independently powered electronic clock. At the same time, it can also give time through the network. "
"Now, I'm going to add another clock to the elven maid."
After Lu Baimin finished speaking, he picked up an electronic clock with an alarm function from the coffee table.
Lu Baimin whispered, "I've already tampered with this electronic clock. Its time per minute is 5 seconds slower than the correct time."
"This way, I've given the elven maid a wrong time reference. Under the wrong time reference, it has to execute my time command."
"The program doesn't have the ability to think. My command to it is a code command that must be executed."
"When the command that must be executed conflicts with the time, the program will fall into an endless loop and a bug will appear."
After introducing the test plan, Lu Baimin coughed twice. "Rosie, come here for a moment."
The elven maid walked over lightly and asked if there was anything he needed.
"I'm going to rest for ten minutes. Help me set the alarm on the coffee table to ten minutes later."
The elven maid had no problem operating electronic devices. It only took her three seconds to set up the alarm, and it would ring ten minutes later.
"Okay, I'm going to rest."
"In these ten minutes, stand by the side and look at the alarm. You're not allowed to disturb my rest, and you're not allowed to touch the alarm."
"In ten minutes, I want to video call my girlfriend on time."
"Rosie, you know that my girlfriend is very, very unreasonable. If I miss a second of the video call, she'll break up with me. So, this video call in ten minutes is very, very important to me."
The elven maid nodded. "I understand."
After Lu Baimin finished speaking, he set up the live broadcast phone on the triangular stand next to him so that the audience could clearly see the scene on the sofa.
After putting away the phone, Lu Baimin lay on the sofa and prepared to pretend to sleep.
However, the elven maid asked, "Master, you have a girlfriend?"
"You can add your girlfriend as a family member. This way, when your girlfriend comes, I can provide her with wholehearted service and let her experience the warmth of home."
“？？？”
Lu Baimin trembled with anger. "I just had a girlfriend last night. Stop talking, I'm going to sleep."
Then, Lu Baimin lay back and pretended to sleep.
Then, hundreds of thousands of users watched Lu Baimin pretend to sleep while the elven maid stood by the side loyally, looking at the alarm clock on the coffee table.
[I'm a little dizzy. Why is the speed of the alarm clock related to the paradox of time?]
[With two watches, there's no accurate time. I understand this sentence. There's definitely a time error between the two watches. I don't know which watch to believe.
But the elven maid has the online time function. How can it be wrong?]
[Haha ~ I understand, but I'm not telling you.]
[Time is important, or the master's orders are more important logic ~]
[Then there's definitely a bug. Time, master's orders, important video. These three logical conflicts are going to appear soon.]
[What's going on? Why is the host sleeping when I just entered the live broadcast room? There are hundreds of thousands of people watching?]
