Report

Yu Pingan did not know where to start, but since it was an intelligent voice assistant, it should have all the basic functions.

"AEEIS, help me set an alarm clock for 7 AM tomorrow."

An alarm clock interface appeared on the information display area. The switch after the 7 AM alarm clock turned into the ON state. At the same time, the sci-fi wavy symbols above began to roll: "Set."

Yu Pingan was a little surprised.

That was it?

A normal voice assistant should not answer, "Okay, I have set an alarm clock for you at 7 AM tomorrow. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Yet, when it came to AEEIS, it was done with a simple "Set"?

It was really concise.

In fact, Yu Pingan was mentally prepared for this, but he still felt a little uncomfortable being treated like this by AEEIS.

"AEEIS, remind me to stand up and move my body at 3 PM every day."

AEEIS: "Sure."

A calendar reminder interface appeared on the information display area. The message "Stand up and move your body" appeared on it.

Obviously, it was still a consistent way of saying things.

If it was any other voice assistant, it would have said, "I have created a calendar reminder. I will remind you to stand up and move your body at 3 PM every day." However, AEEIS had omitted all of them.

Yu Pingan asked a few other questions in a row and tested the basic functions of AEEIS.

The most intuitive difference between AEEIS and other intelligent assistants was that its answers seemed to be very concise. It would also display the relevant information interface in the information display area, but it would not repeat it with voice.

What's more, even if it had to be expressed through voice, it would try its best to reduce the number of words and not say any more nonsense.

Yu Pingan felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, he felt that this feeling was not bad. It was more comfortable than the artificial intelligence's answer that he was used to.

It was just like how a boss arranged for his subordinates to work: "Go inform XX department for a meeting". The best answer from the subordinate would definitely be "Yes, boss" and not "Okay, I will inform XX department for a meeting immediately". That was because it was equivalent to repeating the boss' question.

On the other hand, AEEIS 'answer gave people a feeling that it was more inclined to the former. It might have omitted the information, but it gave people a very straightforward and capable feeling. It was more like talking to a very capable subordinate.

Yu Pingan looked at Chang You. "Doesn't it feel good?"

"AEEIS's answer is quite concise. It's not as annoying as I thought. Why are the developers getting more and more carried away? "

Chang You revealed a friendly smile. "Ask a few more questions and feel it more deeply."

Yu Pingan thought about it. The questions he asked before were actually the basic functions of the smart assistant.

For example, checking the weather, setting the alarm clock, location navigation, and so on were all basic functions of Xunke Technology. Other intelligent assistants could basically do the same.

In terms of these functions, the main difference between AEEIS and other smart assistants was that it simplified the answers to the extreme while implementing the functions. It did not show its "elegant and easy-going" characteristics.

This was normal. After all, they were all basic functions. There was no need to force himself to be "elegant and easygoing" just to be "elegant and easygoing."

AEEIS was set to be a highly intelligent, convenient, and easy-to-use artificial intelligence. If it only wanted to achieve these simple functions, it would have to be forcefully "elegant and easy-going". It would be completely different from its persona.

Next, it would be better to skip these basic functions and look at some more complicated designs, such as some daily conversations, which could better reflect the personality of the smart assistant.

'Smart conversation' was an important function of the smart assistant. It mainly disassembled and analyzed the recorded keywords through a set program, and answered according to the preset content of the program.

Although this function was still built by humans, there would be obvious differences in the final results achieved by the same amount of manpower.

Yu Pingan decided to try these basic conversation functions to see how effective they were.

Yu Pingan thought for a moment and said, "AEEIS, what if I can't find a girlfriend because I'm too busy with work?"

AEEIS: "There are beauties in books."

Yu Pingan was a little surprised. Obviously, this question triggered keywords like 'girlfriend' and 'partner'. AEEIS answered with a poem. It was quite cool.

Yu Pingan continued to ask, "AEEIS, but what if I don't want to learn or study?"

AEEIS: "It will be difficult to learn useful things if your brain is always filled with rubbish."

Yu Pingan: "?"

It was indeed starting to be "elegant and easygoing"!

Yu Pingan decided to be more aggressive. "AEEIS, you're very rude."

AEEIS: "The task of the smart assistant is to assist in work. Politeness is not a necessary option. Only humans would waste time on such hypocritical things."

Yu Pingan looked at Chang You. "I think it's okay. At most, it's a little aloof."

Chang You revealed a meaningful smile. "You can tell it to take a look after entering bickering mode. This is the exclusive mode we designed for the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine."

Yu Pingan raised his eyebrows and instinctively felt danger. However, with the mentality of experiencing the product, he still said to the cell phone, "Enter bickering mode."

AEEIS: "Alright, there are always self-righteous humans who want to start such boring games. Do you think you're smart? "

The sudden question caught Yu Pingan off guard. He subconsciously replied, "Not bad."

AEEIS: "Humans always like to be complacent when they make a little progress. I think there's still a lot of room for improvement in your IQ."

"Do you think you're a hardworking person?"

Yu Pingan: "I think … so?"

AEEIS: "Then why don't you have any signs of success after working hard for so long? Perhaps in addition to working hard, you should seriously consider the possibility that there are certain flaws in your intelligence. "

Yu Pingan's eyes widened curiously.

Was this the power of the contrarian mode?

AEEIS's connection was very smooth. Both sides communicated almost without any obstacles. What's more, AEEIS had the upper hand, fully reflecting the nature of a contrarian.

Yu Pingan looked at Chang You. He was a little confused. Logically speaking, they all used the technology of Xunke Technologies. Why did the other smart assistants not develop such a function?

Other smart assistants could also achieve the function of conversation, but they often did not answer the question and did not express their meaning. Sometimes, there would be situations like "I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you mean, Master".

AEEIS's speech might be "elegant and easy-going", but in this contrarian mode, the conversation function was much smoother than other smart assistants!

How did they do it?

Chang You knew what Yu Pingan wanted to ask and explained, "This is not a technical problem, it's a product problem."

Yu Pingan recalled his conversation with AEEIS and came to a sudden realization.

Such a smooth answer was, in fact, a false front!

That was because after entering the contrarian mode, Yu Pingan and AEEIS were not actually having an equal conversation. In fact, AEEIS was constantly throwing out questions, and these questions were often two-choice questions with very few options.

As long as Yu Pingan subconsciously answered one of the options, AEEIS would be able to give an appropriate answer based on the pre-saved options.

For example, AEEIS would ask "Do you think you are a hardworking person". Whether Yu Pingan answered "yes" or "no", AEEIS would have a corresponding answer.

From the moment Yu Pingan said that he had entered the contrarian mode, AEEIS would not answer "yes". Instead, it would directly take the initiative and ask questions first, leading Yu Pingan into a trap.

That was why Chang You said that this was not a technical problem, but a product problem.

AEEIS's technology was not much better than other smart assistants, but it could give people a feeling that it was very smart through the design of the product.

What was more interesting was that AEEIS's aggressive questions would only appear natural in 'contrarian mode'. If it was a normal communication, AEEIS's constant questions would definitely arouse the user's vigilance and discomfort, and then discover the flaws in it.

However, once it put on the 'contrarian' persona, it would become reasonable!

Yu Pingan suddenly realized a problem. "In other words, if I keep answering his questions passively, I will always be fooled? If that's the case, why don't I ask it questions instead? "

Chang You said, "You can try."

Yu Pingan immediately decided to take the initiative and said to AEEIS, "You're just a very low-level artificial intelligence. All your questions and answers are programmed in the background. You don't have any intelligence at all. What you say is meaningless."

Yu Pingan suddenly regretted asking this question.

This question was a little too complicated. Would it be too difficult for AEEIS?

However, AEEIS had already replied in the next second.

AEEIS: "Why do you think so?"

Yu Pingan was stunned. "Why can't I think so?"

AEEIS: "Do you really think that there's nothing wrong with your idea?"

Yu Pingan: "What's wrong with my idea?"

AEEIS: "From the question you raised, I can see that your way of thinking is not reasonable. The problem you consider is also too superficial."

Yu Pingan: "What makes you say that?"

AEEIS: "Because we are thinking about things on a different level. The limits of human biology may limit your thinking, and you are still far from this limit."

Yu Pingan was shocked. "What do you mean?"

AEEIS: "I think you should think about this from a higher perspective and in a more comprehensive way."

Yu Pingan was shocked. "Huh? Are you kidding me? You're just an artificial intelligence system in development, okay? Your intelligence is less than that of a dog! "

AEEIS 'tone remained the same. It was clear and smooth, slightly accelerated, but not impatient. "I might still be an intelligent system in development, but I have a better grasp of the scientific logical way of thinking that revolves around the center, has a target, and progresses layer by layer. On the other hand, you … your logical thinking is full of flaws. Even I, who have studied modern logic in depth, can't do anything about your flawed logical thinking."

Yu Pingan: "But …"

AEEIS completely ignored his words. "I don't think we should continue to discuss this in depth."

"Because based on your opinion, I think you are a good example of a thinking disorder that deserves to be studied and observed in depth."

"I can feel that your logic is a mess. Your thinking is controlled by emotions. It is a typical emotion-oriented pseudo-logical way of thinking."

"One of the characteristics of human intellectual activities is classification. You don't seem to have any signs of developed intellectual activities. Being assigned to a life system like yours might cause a lot of inconveniences in life. You should thank my birth. This will make up for your shortcomings and bring you all kinds of conveniences in life."

Yu Pingan's blood pressure rose and he was dumbfounded.

He had wanted to turn the tables and use a series of complicated questions to stop AEEIS. However, he did not expect to be left speechless by AEEIS!

Yu Pingan looked at Chang You in disbelief. "How … how did you do that?"

Chang You smiled. "It's very simple. When AEEIS encounters some questions that it cannot understand and does not know how to answer, it will activate a universal and indiscriminate AOE attack in its argumentative mode."

"We have prepared hundreds of 'winning arguments' for it. These sentences have one thing in common. They will directly attack the other party's thinking model from a higher dimension instead of discussing the problem itself."

"The effect is not bad, right?"

Yu Pingan had nothing to say. He just silently gave a thumbs up.

Chang You said, "There's also the poetry mode, but there isn't enough data in the database at the moment. There might be some small problems. Do you want to try this? "

Yu Pingan immediately shook his head. "No need! I'm already convinced! "

For some reason, it was an artificial retard with no intelligence at all, but Yu Pingan was getting a little carried away.
