it’s kind of dumb.”
In Donghai City, under the jurisdiction of national security, the network technology department.
A guy wearing thick round glasses, scrolling his mouse, observed the lines of code flitting across Lin Xian’s laptop:
“What’s this even for?
You could randomly download an open-source AI from the internet…
even the kind that a phone can run, and it would be a hundred times smarter than this.”
…
Two hours earlier, after failing to revive VV in the wilderness, Lin Xian decided to seek help from a professional.
...
Among the teammates who had gone with him to Mi Country for the World Hacker Competition, there was a technical expert in the field of Artificial Intelligence, belonging to the personnel under the National Security Agency, who normally worked in the local branch in East Sea.
So, Lin Xian directly contacted him, came to this local branch, and asked him to check what was wrong with VV.
But as Mr.
Stubble, the guy with the glasses, opened VV’s code, his frown deepened:
“It’s too dumb, how to put it…
It’s like a college student’s homework, logically speaking it’s somewhat passable, but functionality is almost nonexistent, extremely dumb.”
About VV’s code.
Mr.
Stubble used the word “dumb” several times, much to Lin Xian’s surprise:
“Is it very stupid?
I’ve always thought the code for this Artificial Intelligence was very advanced.”
VV’s original code was something Lin Xian had memorized character by character from Third Dreamland, the culmination of Earth’s top scientists’ work over hundreds of years…
How could it have not a single redeeming feature according to Mr.
Stubble?
“Exactly how dumb is it?”
Lin Xian continued to ask:
“Is it like Tmall Genie?”
Mr.
Stubble shook his head:
“It’s much dumber than Tmall Genie…
At least Tmall Genie can communicate normally without any issue, you tell it to play a song, sing a tune, set an alarm, look up information, it can understand and respond.”
“But look at this Artificial Intelligence AI, when you talk to it, you have to communicate like with a robot, miss one word, speak a little faster, and it doesn’t understand.”
Mr.
Stubble yelled at the laptop:
“VV, play any song.”
“Sorry.”
The laptop emitted an emotionless mechanical voice:
“I couldn’t find the song ‘any.'”
Mr.
Stubble laughed at that.
He turned around and spread his hands at Lin Xian:
“You see, isn’t this thing exasperating?
How can it compare with Tmall Genie?
It lacks even a sliver of logic, where on Earth did you find this thing?”
“Uh…
a classmate gave it to me.”
Lin Xian made up an excuse:
“Is there any reason that an originally very smart and intelligent AI would become as idiotic as it is now?”
“That’s impossible.”
Mr.
Stubble shook his head:

“With computer programs, they either stay the same forever or they get better and better, how could it get dumber and dumber without you touching anything?”
“I’ve looked at the source code of your Artificial Intelligence, and honestly, there isn’t a single bit that’s worthwhile, not even room for modification…
It’s like the epitome of ‘spaghetti code.'”
“Do you know what ‘spaghetti code’ is?
It’s a bunch of messy, convoluted code that’s meaningless, even filled with bugs, yet somehow, it magically works.
With something like that, you’re better off not touching a single character, because even the slightest change…
might just paralyze the program.”
Lin Xian straightened up.
He looked somewhat helplessly at the laptop, still wanting to save it:
“According to you, this Artificial Intelligence AI is beyond saving, but this thing is pretty important to me, even if it’s dumb…
I can’t bear to throw it away.”
“You said in its current ‘Artificial Idiot’ state, what can it do?
It can’t even handle basic communication, so is there any other area where it could be useful?”
Mr.
Stubble fell silent.
He rubbed his stubbled chin, thought for a while, and slowly said:
“If you really insist on using it…
I think you can forget about communication, it’s really not good at that.
But the logic of this AI is still okay, it could be used in some domestic devices with simple work logic.”
“For example…”
He looked left and right, then spotted an unopened vacuum robot on the office cabinet:
“Yes, using the Artificial Intelligence AI from your computer to drive a vacuum robot would be pretty good; simple logic, no need for communication, just follow the predetermined program to clean.”
Vacuum robot?
Listening to Mr.
Stubble’s words, Lin Xian thought of the trash can robot VV from Third Dreamland, as well as the two household appliances VV liked to inhabit at his house—
One was the refrigerator,
And the other was the vacuum robot.
Could this be destiny?
Was VV born to sweep garbage?
No matter what.
Lin Xian still didn’t want to confine VV in a powerless computer again, even if it had become dumb for unknown reasons…
Was it a virus that infected it?
Did it damage its brain?
And that’s why it became a moron?
But ultimately.
Lin Xian still considered VV a good friend and hoped it could come back to life.
“So…”
He scratched his head:
“Then why don’t I go out and buy a vacuum robot, and then you help me transfer VV’s program into it?
A vacuum robot is just that, as long as it can sweep the floor and pick up trash, it doesn’t need to be too smart.”
“Why buy another?
I’ll just give you this vacuum robot.”
Mr.
Stubble stood up, grabbed the vacuum robot’s box from the cabinet, placed it on the table, and opened it:
