A faint, aching sadness settled over everyone's hearts. That was quite an excuse.
To ensure the greatest possible similarity between intelligent robots and humans...
I don't need similarity. I just want it to have a powerful capacity to learn.
Besides, even if you want to preserve that similarity, would it really be so hard to put a data port somewhere hidden? Somewhere unmentionable, for instance. Sure, that's a dirty thought, but with its clothes on, who could tell it was any different from a human?
Even leaving ports aside, an intelligent robot equipped with an artificial intelligence system should be able to absorb new knowledge rapidly through its various sensors alone. How could it possibly be like a baby?
So Shen Bing was simply making excuses! In reality, Phantom Immortal Technology must have imposed some sort of restriction.
Many people arrived at that conclusion, including Niu Yu, Hua Teng, and the others.
As businessmen, how could they fail to understand such a tactic? Hua Teng, who ran the Penguin Group, was especially well versed in it.
I'll sell you a dim-witted intelligent robot at a low price. Then you'll want it to have more capabilities, won't you? That's easy. Just pay for them.
Although they still did not quite understand how Phantom Immortal Technology would accomplish this, that was undoubtedly the general direction.
Sure enough, Shen Bing's next words confirmed their suspicions.
"The intelligent robots we sell can improve themselves through learning, but their main means of improvement will be purchasing our value-added services," Shen Bing said. "For example, we can choose to download the recipe for this plate of chili chicken. In less than a second, your intelligent robot will become the world's most expert chef at stir-frying chili chicken."
Quite a few people present stared at Shen Bing
