In my opinion, the robot's simulation of human beings is only the product of calculation, but in this era of wide application of machinery, how to protect the fundamental difference between us and robots-human nature is the most urgent problem.
When Alpha Dog beat Li Shishi and Ke Jie, people felt the huge gap between human brain and computer computing power. Facing the alpha dog who can see thousands of possibilities on the chessboard and see the ending of the game, I believe that talented players can only be defeated. However, as Ke Jie said, his sweat and struggle in playing chess, the joy of progress and the pain of failure are not felt by any machine. They just can play chess, but they don't know why, and they don't feel the fun of playing chess. There is a scene in Liu's short story "Poetry Cloud": super civilization hollows out the earth, exhausts all the resources of the solar system, and creates a huge poetry repository, which stores all the poems from ancient times to the present and in the future. However, it can't tell the quality of poetry, and it can only float in space; It contains all the possibilities of beauty, but it can only be written down by people. So, what if robots become more and more like people? So what if the robot can play chess and write poetry? Machinery is only machinery after all, and only human beings can feel the love, joy and beauty behind it.
However, behind the machine, it is still human. Instead of paying attention to how robots will become more and more like people and worrying about the imaginary threats, it is better to pay attention to their influence on human beings themselves. As early as the industrial revolution, the development of modern machinery industry has made great changes in social structure, and the development of social productive forces has forced a large number of farmers to transfer to secondary and tertiary industries. Nowadays, robots have a wider range of applications: in addition to industrial robots, robots that know "human nature" are also used in service industries and other fields, taking care of children, accompanying the elderly, ordering food in restaurants ... Many people worry that robots will replace humans in many ways, which will lead to a series of storms such as unemployment. But I want to say that no matter how human-like these robots look, no matter how they do basic work instead of human beings, they can't replace human beings in creativity and so on. In order to cope with the unemployment dilemma, we will generally improve the education level, art appreciation level and creativity under the pressure of machines, so that people can stand at a higher level. As the French scientist Sur said, "Machines are highly anthropomorphic and will redefine the value of' people'". I think, grasping the difference between us and machinery and cherishing the flash of human nature is the brand-new value of being born as a human being.
So, how can we better make the people behind the machine shine? First of all, we should prevent criminals from using science and technology to endanger human security. The real threat comes not from the robots themselves, but from the humans who control them. Second, vigorously publicize the mainstream values, eradicate the generation of evil thoughts from the source, and spread the beauty of human nature at the same time. Third, while improving people's creativity, we should strengthen the cultivation of art and culture, enjoy tea and study in the roar of machines, and achieve a pure land.
Cook said: "I am not worried that robots will think like people. I am only worried about thinking like a robot. " What we need most is to keep the flash of human nature behind the cold machine, so that people will not become like machines.
