Five minutes later, Astro Boy and the Mechanic were sitting in the cold drink shop and ate ice cream together. The girl was observing the little boy about ten years old very seriously. In theory, robots like this didn't need to eat ice cream at all, but when he dug a large spoon of vanilla-flavored ice cream into his mouth, the satisfied expression on his face could not be concealed...real.

As a robot developer, Gai Qi knows how terrible artificial intelligence technology this represents.

"Hey, Astro Boy. I'll ask you a question."

"Well... may I ask!"

The boy responded loudly.

"...You are a robot. But why do you like to eat ice cream?"

The boy tilted his head slightly, and then thought for a while.

“Because the ice cream is delicious.”

"...But, you can't taste the ice cream."

The boy stopped the spoon and thought hard.

"Because... Dad likes me to be like a human being. Then I feel that if I can better simulate human beings, then Dad will be much happier. If Dad is happy, I will be happy too. So, I also like to eat ice cream like Feixiong."

Dr. Tianma, the most well-known artificial intelligence expert in the world, has a very famous anecdote. After his grandson, Feixiong, died in a car accident, he specially made a robot that was exactly the same as Feixiong, implanting the most anthropomorphic artificial intelligence ever built into its electronic brain, as well as the most outstanding chaos algorithm used by Dr. Tianma to simulate human nature... and this robot is Astro Boy.

Later, Dr. Tianma ran away and claimed that Astro Bo was just a failed work, and that robots would never reach the soul of human beings, while Astro Bo was taken over by Dr. Chashui.

The girl thought about what the child said in front of her. The robot can also feel happy, which is something she can also do. The rewarding nerve center in the edge nerves of the human brain can be simply simulated through circuits and programs, so that the robot can also feel "happiness", although their happiness may not necessarily be the same as our happiness...

But on the other hand, the human mind is also formed by matter. The brain is also composed of cells, the gray matter of the brain, the dense nerve cells, these interconnected nerve centers form the basis for the existence of our mind. If it can be made into a perfect replica with an inorganic structure, it can theoretically also serve as a carrier of the mind...

And this involves a very interesting philosophical issue.

Do we really have a "soul"?

Is there any difference between us and robots?

What exactly is the "soul"?

In the study of science and technology, Gai Qi did not spend too much energy on those mystics. Instead, he devoted his energy to the mechanical structure and energy transformation that he was best at. A major feature of scientific workers is to explore completely outward. They pursue the secrets hidden in the starry sky, but they always ignore their inner strength.

"... Then, what's going on with the danger you just mentioned?"

After swallowing a whole bucket of ice cream, Astro Boy threw the plastic spoon back into the paper bucket with satisfaction, held her chin with both hands, and looked at Gai Qi with a mature look.
