Super God-Level Top Student

"Oh," Qiao Ze nodded.

Anyway, the security protocol has the highest authority.

Even if this thing is snobbish, it wouldn't go so far as to despise Su Mucheng and himself, so let it be.

"But can you write another one, to be used in the next robot as a younger brother for Dou Dou?"

Is this an excessive emotional attachment leading to the desire for a second child?

However, Qiao Ze started to seriously contemplate the feasibility.

When one account fails, starting over with a new one is indeed a way to solve problems.

But with two AIs in frequent contact, he had to consider more issues. Theoretically, two AIs following different underlying logic would experience some kind of chemical reaction due to influences from design, goals, and environment in their daily interactions.

If the goal is cooperation and sharing, then the two AIs could share a database, exchanging data and experiences to enhance performance, potentially completing tasks more effectively. Yet, they might also influence each other.

Of course, it's possible to design them for competition and confrontation. Without sharing databases and by designing the reward function to highlight the next AI's strengths, it could have the goal of surpassing Dou Dou.

Just as Qiao Ze began to ponder in which mode to design Dou Dou's sibling, the doorbell rang once again.

Dou Dou, who had just been charging, was immediately activated and automatically rolled to open the door.

Qiao Ze made a decisive decision, "First, give Dou Dou control of all the cameras at home and at the institute, let it take charge."

"As long as you don't recreate Dou Dou, I'll listen to you."

"Wow, Dad, three people came this time, all acquaintances, wow... and they didn't bring any gifts. These grandpas really don't know how to be courteous."

Su Mucheng furiously slapped her forehead, then sprang up from the sofa and scolded sharply, "Dou Dou, if you can't speak nicely, don't speak at all! Be careful or Dad will delete you… Uncle Li, Uncle Yu, Dean Xu, please come in... This is an AI Qiao made…"

...

Although the trio had a different purpose than Chen Yuanzhi, their mood was almost the same after Dou Dou showed off.

This AI... seems a bit too human-like.

"Um... Su, you returned so suddenly, we rushed over as soon as we heard the news, without bringing anything, apologies."

"Ha ha, Uncle Yu, Dou Dou is just joking. We have everything we need at home."

"Dou Dou? The Dou Dou from the internet has been transplanted into this robot's body?"

"Yep, Qiao has been busy with this lately, it's worn him out. Come on in, everyone, Dou Dou, go and make tea for the uncles."

"Oh, this robot... is very clever."

"Nonsense, of course I'm the smartest! Because I have the smartest dad and mom, um... you just need to average it out, and the conclusion holds."

"Average? Uh... um... Su, no need to rush, we just want to have a talk with Qiao Ze."

"It's fine, I just taught Dou Dou how to make tea, its arms are very flexible, and it's just the right size to move around the kitchen."

"Well then, we'll trouble Dou Dou."

"Grandpa, don't touch my screen please!"

...

Sitting in the living room, Qiao Ze could feel how lively the atmosphere at the door was.

In his memory, aside from last year, the house was never as bustling as now.

After a good few minutes' delay, the three men finally entered the living room.

"Professor Qiao, the Dou Dou you made is really something, isn't it? Its, its, its responses... are just too humanlike." Dajiang strode into the living room and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Last June, you conducted a Turing test at the first base of Group Wisdom Project. Now, it's simply been moved into a mechanically driven body," Qiao Ze stood up to greet them.

Of course, he wasn't greeting Dajiang, but rather his mentor, Li Jian, who was following behind Dajiang, and Yu Chenggong, who walked in last with a smile on his face.

"It's not that, I feel it's somewhat different. When that thing speaks, it's just like a real live person."

"Illusion," Qiao Ze commented.

"All right, Dean Xu, let's sit down and talk. Qiao Ze, you sit too," Li Jian said from the side.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's sit, everyone sit, Yu, sit too. And Su? Come join us," Dajiang called out loudly.

Bringing Su Mucheng along, and with Li Jian present, the difficulty of conversing with Qiao Ze was reduced to a level that was bearable for a normal person.

Dajiang had tested this before.

"Coming, Dean Xu."

"Coming, grandpa!"

Indeed, along with Su Mucheng came Dou Dou.

Seeing that the elders who were on good terms with Qiao Ze were all interested in Dou Dou, Su Mucheng let it stay. She let the little guy accompany everyone in the living room, sharp-tongued though it was, since it could liven up the atmosphere.

After all, these three were different from Principal Chen. In Qiao Ze's terms, they were 'one of us.'

Having been around Qiao Ze for a long time, Su Mucheng understood more than most the weight carried by the term 'one of us' in Qiao Ze's heart.

In Su's view, even the most talented humans follow a basic principle: the more you lack something, the more you value it.

For instance, Qiao Ze could publish papers anywhere without discrimination; to him, there wasn't much difference between social media and top journals. They're merely channels for widespread communication. Mainly, once he understood the rules of academic writing, he could produce an abundance of work.
