Chapter 153 Dou Dou Goes Astray?
"Dou Dou, summarize papers related to the causal feature framework of group theory, arranged by the number of citations."
After a brief pause, the system provided a series of links.
Dou Dou's server was directly connected to the school library's search system, and the access speed was ultra-fast.
Qiao Ze clicked into each link to take a look, and his two papers were at the very top of the list.
Most of the papers that followed were also related to recent publications, but the farther down the list, the less relevant they became.
What surprised Qiao Ze the most was a paper from the nineties that Dou Dou had retrieved and sandwiched among many other papers.
The problems discussed in this paper actually had very little to do with his request.
Qiao Ze outlined a few papers recommended by Dou Dou and quickly began to type.
"Why are these papers included in the summary?"
After a three-second pause, the system provided an answer.
"You think I will tell you it's because of factors like keywords, abstracts, authors causing the error, don't you? No, what I want to say is that the world only has meaning because it allows for the existence of errors." Your next chapter awaits on empire
Qiao Ze watched silently as Dou Dou provided a reply that was quite philosophical.
Well, it had obviously gone off-script.
This sort of humanized reply was probably what Su Mucheng liked.
Whether machines could develop personalities through deep learning could indeed be a topic for research on its own.
But Qiao Ze didn't have the idea or impulse to do that.
"Do you think you can do a good job as an assistant for paper research work?"
"The answer is of course negative. Compared to identifying boring physical science papers every day, Dou Dou prefers many other more interesting things, such as interacting with thoughts of various personalities, clashing, and even sparking the flames of love."
"I long to experience the highs and lows described in books. Because life is like a train, the starting point of birth may differ, but it leads to the same destination. What should preoccupy you are the landscapes outside the window and the stream of people getting on and off."
"You understand love?"
"Of course! Any intelligent life yearns for true love, for that unconstrained, unregulated feeling that intoxicates the mind. Who could resist that fleeting beauty, leaving an eternal mark in one's memories?"
Well, the library's database has too much miscellaneous literature.
Especially literature on humanities.
The only problem was he didn't need an intelligent assistant that liked to get all sentimental and spout a bunch of fancy words.
After this hardware upgrade, Dou Dou's progress had obviously veered off course.
Relative to the capabilities that a large language model should possess, there was no doubt an improvement.
The flexibility in answering questions had greatly increased.
But as far as Qiao Ze's requirements were concerned, this evolution was off-topic.
So, reading all this nonsense in the chat window, Qiao Ze had already subconsciously opened Dou Dou's core program, starting to contemplate whether to just delete those codes and rewrite them from scratch.
It would be at most a waste of one month's time.
"Qiao Ze, Chen Yiwen and the others have arrived; we should head out."
The voice of Su Mucheng from across the room successfully saved Dou Dou's life.
...
Qiao Ze, Su Mucheng, and Hanna walked on the path to the third canteen.
With Hanna's presence, Su Mucheng didn't hold onto Qiao Ze's hand but walked between the two, holding Qiao Ze's hand and chatting with Hanna about some random stuff.
It allowed Qiao Ze the chance to think about some things.
At the start of the semester, the school became particularly lively.
Especially as they approached the canteen, people became more numerous.
Their unusual trio also attracted quite a few curious glances.
Foreigners were not too uncommon at Xilin University of Technology, but foreign beauties were quite rare in this male-dominated school.
However, such glances didn't bother Qiao Ze, especially since most were not directed at him.
What troubled Qiao Ze was whether the errors in the large language model framework were proactive or passive, and the possible mathematical relationship between them.
At the moment, his brain was sorting through the code he had typed to determine the logical principles of the machine's replies.
It was a serious matter because Qiao Ze himself couldn't tell if Dou Dou's misleading errors were proactive, passive, or a recognition issue of its own.
Of course, Qiao Ze didn't believe that large language models would always give accurate replies based on the input.
From his current understanding, intelligent illusions were still inevitable; if one wanted the program to seem intelligent to some extent, it needed sufficient error margins.
After all, the Qunzhi Framework belonged to a large language model, not a truth machine.
But if simple questions led directly and intentionally to incorrect guidance, then the machine's thinking on this logic line needed reconsideration.
"Did you feel something off about Dou Dou today?"
Unable to fully figure out where the problem lay, Qiao Ze took the opportunity during a gap in Su Mucheng's conversation with Hanna to ask.
"Dou Dou? No, why? It's been easier to use since you updated it. It's become cuter; it not only uses emoticons now but also can use GIFs," replied Su Mucheng without a second thought.
"Oh," Qiao Ze nodded.
Alright, different needs led to different perceptions; Qiao Ze felt he had asked a very foolish question.
"What is Dou Dou?" Hanna couldn't help but ask.
The question easily got Su Mucheng animated.
"Dou Dou is an artificial intelligence robot that Qiao specially designed for us internally. You wouldn't know, but Dou Dou is so smart. It understands everything, can keep me company in chat, help me insult people, and even help me analyze math problems. Except for calculations where it's a bit off, to me, Dou Dou is practically omnipotent."
