Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 443 Section 439 - Artificial Intelligence Blockade

Although the school's small lake area was still in the grips of an icy winter, with the stunning northern scenery blanketed in rime and snow, the scene was quite lively at the Mobile Base Vehicle by the lakeside. The aroma of barbecue meats 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 Meng's classmates, but also other classes within the same department and even students from other disciplines who loved a good event, joined in the festivities. Some even left their meals 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 Meng fully understood her second brother Chen Fei's well-intended efforts.

From that day on, she had become a student with a modicum of fame on campus, and it was likely to last for quite some time.

If one wanted to get ahead on campus and secure some 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 Meng 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 Meng... Ah, the student in the back row, have I called your name?"

Professor Aoi Hinata from the artificial intelligence department looked towards the back corner of the classroom, where an additional student seemed to have appeared.

"Huh? Brother!"

Chen Meng turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

She saw her second brother, also seated in the classroom corner.

It wasn't just Chen Meng who recognized Chen Fei—many students from the AI department who attended the previous night's barbecue also knew this generous member of the Chen family.

Anyone with a vehicle that big was certainly not an ordinary person.

Chen Meng, who claimed to come from a salaried family background, was definitely playing dumb while flaunting grandeur—her act was impressively deceptive.

"My name 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 name is Hinata; you can call me Teacher Hinata or Professor Aoi Hinata. Some students even call me Sunflower, but it all means the same thing,"

Professor Hinata immediately gestured.

As long as one remained quiet and didn't disturb the other students, she didn't mind someone 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?"

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 same except you can't save it permanently."

Chen Meng was actually pretty slick with it. It seemed 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 numerous security vulnerabilities. But still, not too bad.

The development tools had simple ways to play, and complex ones too. What Chen Meng had dashed off was essentially on par with parroting.

Chen Meng: Hello, I'm Chen Meng!

AI: Hello, I'm Xiao Ming!

Chen Meng: Have you eaten?

AI: Will you feed me?

"Hahaha..."

Chen Meng started laughing so hard she could barely breathe. This AI made use of an analysis database she had accumulated during her free time.

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 improvements to the conversational model and the database, the current response mechanism and expression model could match normal human interaction. However, the ability to respond spontaneously was still a weak point, with no significant improvement. As soon as it encountered an undesignated word or phrase, its facade would immediately 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 seemed inherently idiotic.

During the large class break, Professor Aoi Hinata circled the classroom, providing guidance to the students on their operations.

"Chen Meng and Chen Fei, how are you two doing?"

Finally, Professor Hinata came to the corner where Chen Meng 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 Meng 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 immediately changed.

Come out, dog Adam!
