Although the school's small lake area was still in the grips of an icy winter, with the stunning northern scenery blanketed in ri and snow, the scene was quite lively at the Mobile Base Vehicle by the lakeside. The aroma of barbecue ats and exotic spices filled the air, mingled with music, laughter, shouts, and various expressions of carefree abandon. Amidst the vast snowy landscape, the bone-chilling cold of negative ten degrees Celsius was hardly noticeable.
University gatherings did happen, but not in abundance, as students' primary task was to focus on their studies—especially during the cold winter, when everyone stayed in warmly heated rooms and hardly ventured outside. Therefore, gathering people together proved even more challenging.
However, the allure of free barbecue, an open bar with beverages, and a massive vehicle the likes of which had never been seen before, provided ample reason to draw a crowd.
It wasn't just Chen ng's classmates, but also other classes within the sa departnt and even students from other disciplines who loved a good event, joined in the festivities. So even left their als in the cafeteria upon hearing the news, not hesitating to set down their bowls and head straight over.
As the star of the show, Chen ng fully understood her second brother Chen Fei's well-intended efforts.
From that day on, she had beco a student with a modicum of fa on campus, and it was likely to last for quite so ti.
If one wanted to get ahead on campus and secure so relatively fair opportunities, invisibility as an ordinary bystander was not an option—otherwise, one would have spent these college years in vain, just another faceless university student.
...
The next morning.
The previous night's barbecue party was like a vanished dream.
Chen ng rushed to the lecture hall with her textbooks, barely managing to sit down when the professor started calling the roll.
"...Xu Fan... Zhang Xiaorong... Yu Hai... Zhuang Xinxin... Chen ng... Ah, the student in the back row, have I called your na?"
Professor Aoi Hinata from the artificial intelligence departnt looked towards the back corner of the classroom, where an additional student seed to have appeared.
"Huh? Brother!"
Chen ng turned around and exclaid in surprise.
She saw her second brother, also seated in the classroom corner.
It wasn't just Chen ng who recognized Chen Fei—many students from the AI departnt who attended the previous night's barbecue also knew this generous mber of the Chen family.
Anyone with a vehicle that big was certainly not an ordinary person.
Chen ng, who claid to co from a salaried family background, was definitely playing dumb while flaunting grandeur—her act was impressively deceptive.
"My na is Chen Fei, auditing the class,"
Chen Fei stood up, shrugging his shoulders.
There was an unwritten rule at the university that allowed auditing if there were available seats—not just for students and staff within the institution, but also for individuals authorized to enter the campus from outside.
He had intended to bring along Xiao Jiu, but after causing such a commotion the night before, Xiao Jiu was still asleep.
"Please sit down, Chen Fei. My na is Hinata; you can call Teacher Hinata or Professor Aoi Hinata. So students even call Sunflower, but it all ans the sa thing,"
Professor Hinata imdiately gestured.
As long as one remained quiet and didn't disturb the other students, she didn't mind soone auditing.
"Today's lesson will be co-taught by myself and my developed artificial intelligence AI, 'Miaozi'," Professor Aoi Hinata said, then raised her voice toward the ceiling, "'Miaozi', are you online?"
"'Miaozi' is here, hello, Teacher Hinata!"
The classroom's sound system ca alive. Although it was an artificial intelligence AI, the inflection in its voice and the transition of its words was indistinguishable from a human's. If it hadn't been stated in advance, one could easily mistake it for a real person.
"Good, 'Miaozi', please connect to the big screen."
As the female professor finished speaking, at the center of the "blackboard" behind the podium, the image of a cartoon cat drawn with simple lines erged.
"The most mainstream artificial intelligence AIs today are still based on the 'Cybertrom' cloud AI technology derived from it. 'Miaozi' is also a type of cloud AI. The widespread application of cloud technology boasts many advantages, mainly security and efficiency. It makes full use of network benefits. Even individual terminals can tap into high-efficiency computational resources. Before 'Cybertrom', there was another AI that must be ntioned—a genuinely high-intelligence AI called 'Adam'. Its independence and ability to self-replicate are nearly indistinguishable from virus programs. An uncontrolled artificial intelligence AI would represent an extrely dangerous existence... Now, let show you 'Miaozi's structure. 'Miaozi', open your project developnt kit, the architecture docuntation."
Following a stream of words, what looked like a writable "blackboard," which was actually a display screen, now showed a prepared docunt outline.
To facilitate AI programming and minimize coding work while increasing developnt efficiency, professional developnt tools co with many pre-prepared modules, widgets, and functional plugins for expandable projects. Developers can piece together their desired artificial intelligence AI, much like building with blocks.
This is also one of the hallmark features of the "Cybertrom" cloud AI system. Moreover, by purchasing the official annual upgrade pack or personal expansion projects, developers can access the latest extensions.
For experienced developers, they can also write independently from the underlying parts, crafting their desired extension projects and further enriching the range of artificial intelligence AI developnt.
"... Please use this outline as a guide to develop an artificial intelligence AI. It doesn't have to be complex; it just needs to be interactive,"
Professor Aoi Hinata lectured for less than ten minutes. The developnt guide provided was simple yet well-structured, and she left the rest of the class ti to the students.
A holographic screen rose in front of every occupied seat. Students could use the default input devices or bring their own to access the AI developnt tools provided by the lecture hall's cloud platform for this class. Using the cloud virtual machine environnt, one need not worry about accidentally creating a destructive AI like "Adam"—illegal processes can be easily terminated within the virtual operating environnt.
The seating offered a variety of interfaces. Students with personal computers could also connect to the corresponding classroom cloud platform, wired or wirelessly, to perform the sa operations.
The pace of the artificial intelligence course at Chen Family University was incredibly fast, and within only a few months of the sester starting students were getting hands-on experience with developnt and applying what they learned through use.
For talented students, this thod of teaching could fully unleash their abilities. Following a prescribed program step-by-step would only serve to restrict them.
"Bro, you know how to do this?"
Little Sister Chen skittered to the back of the classroom and plopped down in the seat next to Chen Fei.
The courseware associated with her student number automatically followed, and the full ter-long light screen transitioned into the interface of the developnt tools.
"Nope!"
Chen Fei shook his head. He had graduated from the economics departnt and was a complete outsider when it ca to artificial intelligence AI.
However, he used it frequently in his daily life, and this ti he ca to audit the lecture during a large class break, partly to see how his little sister was doing in her studies, and partly to kill ti.
Team 04's current mission had reached a stalemate, and he had returned to Earth to lie low. Until he received a new assignnt, he was essentially idle, but he couldn't go far; in case anything ca up, he'd need to rush back imdiately.
Therefore, during this period, Chen Fei could only stay on standby in the North region of Earth.
"I'll teach you, it's really simple!"
Chen ng had thoroughly previewed the textbooks and courseware sent out before the start of school.
Before the official classes began, she had already gotten a good grasp of the AI developnt tools and even managed to piece together an artificial idiot—yes, that's right, at least it was capable of so interaction, and that was all.
"Just take care of yourself; I don't need to learn this stuff."
Chen Fei kept shaking his head. With tasks, "Adam" was busy; without tasks, "Adam" stayed idle—Adam's Second Uncle was just that unreasonable.
"Eh? Just play around with it, we've got nothing else to do. Look, like this, and this, then this, and a basic AI is made. Bro, you can do it too. You can log in with a GUEST account, just click straight through, it's all the sa except you can't save it permanently."
Chen ng was actually pretty slick with it. It seed her interest was piqued, and she had gotten a head start. With a flurry of actions, she created an AI and even submitted it for evaluation.
Rating: E!
After all, it was only a five-minute endeavor, and in many ways, it was deficient, with nurous security vulnerabilities. But still, not too bad.
The developnt tools had simple ways to play, and complex ones too. What Chen ng had dashed off was essentially on par with parroting.
Chen ng: Hello, I'm Chen ng!
AI: Hello, I'm Xiao Ming!
Chen ng: Have you eaten?
AI: Will you feed ?
"Hahaha..."
Chen ng started laughing so hard she could barely breathe. This AI made use of an analysis database she had accumulated during her free ti.
The conversational modes of artificial intelligence are all predetermined by humans, triggering based on keywords or key sentences using algorithmic models to select the most appropriate preformatted sentences. It looks like a conversation is happening, but in reality, it's akin to following a script. The AI derived from "Cybertrom" was especially rigid, and despite continuous improvents to the conversational model and the database, the current response chanism and expression model could match normal human interaction. However, the ability to respond spontaneously was still a weak point, with no significant improvent. As soon as it encountered an undesignated word or phrase, its facade would imdiately crumble.
"This is an idiot, right?"
Watching his little sister turn a piece of artificial intelligence into an artificial idiot, Chen Fei heaved a sigh while holding his forehead.
Such talent!
After using "Adam," any other AI seed inherently idiotic.
During the large class break, Professor Aoi Hinata circled the classroom, providing guidance to the students on their operations.
"Chen ng and Chen Fei, how are you two doing?"
Finally, Professor Hinata ca to the corner where Chen ng was chuckling and swiping on the light screen, doing modular operations.
Although Chen Fei was just auditing temporarily, the female professor didn't mind sparing a bit of attention for him.
"Bro! What about your AI?"
Chen ng was so caught up in showing off her personal skills that she'd forgotten to let her older brother have a try.
"Uh!" Chen Fei swiped at the "Universal Data Transceiver" bracelet on his left hand, pulling out a data cable and jamming it into a port on the table. The light screen in front of him imdiately changed.
Co out, dog Adam!
