chapter 204 – Terran in Neorust (5)
"Look around. Opposite direction. Jump. Get down. Sexy pose."
"Okay." Claire had finished the evil android… no, now a pure android.
It moved smoothly according to her commands, tilting her attractive body forward and blinking in that last sexy pose. Even Kang Shin-hyuk had to wonder if it was really human, even though he helped fix it.
"Yes, it's perfect."
"Thank you." The android bowed in response to her praise, its voice sounding natural.
Thanks to her careful tuning, it could perfectly copy a human's vocal organs in order to produce a beautiful voice. Claire was a top-notch designer who worked with hardware and software, and Kang Shin-hyuk was a hardware manufacturer who knew how to perfect precision parts, so this was the natural result of their collaboration.
However, despite its attractiveness and beautiful voice, Kang Shin-hyuk felt a sense of horror at how it reacted so quickly and accurately to Claire.
"How on earth did you do it?"
"Are you asking about the artificial self? I have to enter a reaction pattern for every possible situation."
"That's impossible."
"Of course, situations not in the database can appear. That's why I teach it to learn.
It can compare and analyze other situations to create new patterns to new situations. If you build up the database like that, it will eventually become equal to, or even superior to, humans."
"No, that's kind of scary…" Could this AI be beaten?
Should he break it now?
"Of course, it's not possible at my level, Earth's level, to create this level of AI from nothing. So, I made the most of the data left in its core.
In other words, this can be said to be a collaborative work between me and the contaminated Gaia system."
"Can it think and judge for itself?"
"I've been explaining that so far, right?"
"That's what it was…" The more they talked, the more he realized he didn't know, so he decided to leave it be.
"I think it's time to go back.
Wait, I've finished making the parts here…where did you put it?"
"Shin-hyuk, is this it?"
"Oh, yeah.
Wow…"
"Our Shin-hyuk makes a lot of interesting sounds."
"That's not the problem!" He accepted the tree root fragments with a smile but stiffened as he realized that the woman facing him with a smile was the android, not Claire.
"Claire, did you put a human in this one…?"
"Do you need me to explain the artificial self from scratch?"
"No, that's fine; it just seemed so natural."
"That's my masterpiece.
After completing this, my alchemy has grown so much! Honestly, I got a lot of help from that tainted Gaia system!" Claire was patting the android's shoulder proudly. Its face looked the same it had the day it attacked them, but its body was changed to emphasize its femininity a bit more. However, the interior had completely changed.
The material purchased on the trading board was the perfect substitute for the human elements, although it was more like slime than a human. Now she wore a bartender suit, which made only it eerier since he knew she wasn't human.
"It's a little scary…"
"Did we make it for it to be in the uncanny valley?"
"It's scary because it's so perfect. You can't mass-produce this, right?"
