I could clearly sense that this mechanical leopard had a mind of its own.
It did not want to travel with us. On one hand, it feared we would hold it back. On the other, it seemed suspicious of me and did not really trust me. Of course, perhaps it did not even trust Zhang Jing, which was why it preferred to act alone.
But from its words, I could tell that it trusted Xiaoxin and Xiao Wanzi. Otherwise, it would not have said that once we found Xiao Wanzi, we would know where it was and what it was doing. Implicitly, only after we found Xiao Wanzi would it possibly be willing to travel with us.
"It has extremely high intelligence too," I said.
Zhang Jing gave a bitter smile. "Isn't that normal? In truth, there is not much difference between Artificial Intelligence and humans. We often say humans are good at thinking, but where does human thought come from? Cognition—our understanding of certain things. But where does that understanding come from? Either experience, books, or knowledge passed down by word of mouth from older generations. To put it bluntly, whether it is experience, books, or oral tradition, all of it can be categorized as stored information. Such information can be directly implanted into Artificial Intelligence. What makes them even more terrifying than humans is that the amount of information they can receive may be vastly greater than ours."
I nodded. I could not refute what Zhang Jing had said.
She was right. Though we always said that humans had only developed three to five percent of the brain, that had remained the case until now.
It seemed that no matter how hard humanity tried, there was no way to make any major breakthrough.
But Artificial Intelligence was different.
