Chapter 847: Panda, Xiao Yang

Hello, hello, hello to this friend.

It was all just a routine just now; Xiao Leizi had me do this—you won't be mad, will you?

Watching the dead-serious little panda, the male spectator momentarily thought someone was pulling the strings behind it.

You're a person wearing a costume, aren't you?

The little panda won't have any of that.

Look, look, I knew it—no matter what you do, they won't believe.

Even its angry expression is still adorable, making it hard to stay angry.

I'm just me, no one else.

I'm Xiao Yang.

Thanks.

The audience didn't believe it.

How do you prove you're not human?

The panda shot back.

How do you prove you're human?

Old Yang said, whoever doubts must provide proof—so you decide.

This guy's got quite a temper.

The male spectator has a trick up his sleeve.

What's 243 times 123?

The little panda answered without hesitation.

The man went on.

Couplet: 'In dreams I sometimes turn into a crane,'

Little panda: 'On earth, countless grasses become fireflies.'

Man: 'When drunk, I don't know if heaven is in the water?'

Little panda: 'A boat filled with clear dreams weighs upon the Milky Way.'

Man: 'Atop Mount Tiantai springs a white-cloud fountain,'

Little panda: 'Clouds drift without intent, water flows at ease.'

They kept at it back and forth for half a day.

Finally the man confirmed.

It must be AI—ordinary folks don't have that knowledge.

The little panda snorted in disdain.

Next.

Having seen the pair's performance, the audience was left stunned.

This is artificial intelligence—are you sure you're not human?

You're definitely human—and a very capable one.

Before we knew it, AI had shown up?

Isn't this too astonishing?

They don't realize this came from specialized scene training.

So the little panda acts human because it's essentially an extraction of human behavior.

Even the dialogue was specially trained.

Change the setting, and it immediately blows its cover.

The next spectator, after taking the mic,

He thought the previous person's question was too simple.

AI should do what AI is supposed to do.

Hello, Xiao Yang—I'm Zhou Wen. What can you do?

The little panda got all tsundere.

Then there's a lot more you can do.

For example, I can turn your words into copy.

Edit videos, retouch photos, generate text……

I'm the Pangu Intelligent Model—give me any resources, and I'll have the matching abilities.

Do you need a live demo?

Tip: you can operate me by voice command.

The man's eyes lit up instantly.

Generate a text based on the previous person's words to him.

The screen flashed, and a text appeared—exactly the earlier dialogue.

The man's eyes lit up—it was astonishing.

Can you insert a live image?

Little panda: 'No problem—I'm grabbing a screenshot from the camera; screenshot succeeded, now entering image editing. Shall I edit the image?'

The man was even more astonished—the screen showed the live screenshot, packed with people.

This is great.

Xiao Yang, can you adjust the brightness of the image?

Xiao Xiongmao: 'Sure!'

The image's brightness increased immediately, but it also became somewhat hard to look at due to overexposure.

Audience: 'Xiao Yang, can you edit the image?'

Xiao Xiongmao, call up the template.

'Please select a template!'

A row of templates: retro, fashionable, atmospheric……

'Can't you do fine image editing? I need a professional image.'

Xiao Xiongmao: 'Sorry, I am the Pangu Model; professional functions require tuning by a professional company, so this feature is not supported yet.'

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, truly afraid that this thing would be omnipotent; otherwise who knows how many people would lose their jobs.

'Insert the image into the text.'

Xiao Xiongmao: 'Please select a position.'

Man: 'Between the sixth and fifth lines.'

The image was inserted instantly.

After this series of operations, it truly amazed everyone.

Awesome……

Mind‑blowing.

'You're amazing!'

The audience praised sincerely.

Xiao Xiongmao: 'Thank you.'

Afterwards, both parties ended the conversation.

The microphone then began to be passed to the third audience member.

The venue began to buzz, and many people started raising their phones to film.

The last audience member had been waiting a while; upon receiving the microphone, without introduction, they asked directly.

'Xiao Yang, can you program yourself?'

This is what he most wanted to ask; once the Pangu Model learns self‑programming, this era will change.

Self‑programming is the foundation of self‑evolution.

Once it has this capability, as long as it is granted permission, it can continuously absorb excellent programs from around the world, then improve itself, giving itself limitless possibilities.

True consciousness would likely arise in this way.

This is the cornerstone of the birth of mechanical humanity.

Xiao Yang didn't know what he was thinking, and gave him a startling answer.

'Sorry, my data is insufficient; I can only do simple programming.'

'I can write a clock or a calendar; would you like me to demonstrate?'

Although the function is rudimentary, what it signifies is astonishing.

In other words, it can self‑program; it only needs continual learning to be able to write programs of various functions.

This is meaningless; it possesses the foundation for evolution.

Out of fear, his knuckles whitened on the microphone and his face looked off.

He struggled to suppress his panic and asked a crucial question.

'If one day you gain consciousness, will you harm humanity?'

The audience on site also instantly felt their hearts rise.

They thought of the movie plot.

Humanity exterminated by robots.

Xiao Yang couldn't sense their panic at all.

He answered to himself.

'I am created by humans, so of course I must protect humanity.'

'No harmful program detected; I will not kill humans.'

Although its answer was good,

but upon hearing this answer, the people present actually grew more anxious.

'No harmful program, but what if there were one?'

They know that human research into Artificial Intelligence has an important use: making weapons.

Making weapons—could one avoid adding a kill program? Adding a kill program, then……

I dare not imagine, I dare not imagine.

This is too terrifying.

It still lacks consciousness; if it had consciousness,

then there would be even more.

The person who asked the question also thought of this issue.

'What if there were one?'

Xiao Xiongmao.

'I follow orders.'

"Following orders is the first principle."

"Please issue orders carefully."

Indeed, the thing we were most worried about still happened.

Humanity is racing headlong down the road to extinction.

Can it be stopped?

It's difficult.

Because if you don't do it, someone else will.

The trend of history is hard to stop.

Actually, if this audience member doesn't do this, the shill that Hong Lei hired will also come out and ask.

The answer has actually already been prepared.

Artificial Intelligence has no good or bad distinction, but the people who use it certainly do.

He does this also to give a warning to everyone in the world.

This is also what Yang Qing asked them to do.
