Chapter 445 -335 Artificial Stupidity_1

According to the information Lumiaire intercepted, humans of this era haven’t given up their resistance. A man named John Connor organized a resistance army and successfully destroyed one of Skynet’s bases. Therefore, Skynet regards him as the savior of humanity and a massive threat, so it constructed a time machine in an attempt to send a robot back to the past to kill John’s mother. The idea is that without her, the savior would not be born, eliminating the threat.

It goes without saying that after hearing Lumiaire’s report, Duanmu Huai’s first thought was – What kind of idiotic artificial intelligence is this?

What makes Skynet think that eliminating one person can prevent humanity’s threat?

Is it out of its mind?

It just shows that artificial stupidity is just that, assigning order only to visible threats. Clearly, it only saw John lead the resistance army to destroy its base and considered him the biggest threat.

But what if there were no John Connor?

Cannot another one emerge?

When one John falls, millions more Johns stand up!

Would Skynet have to repeat the process and kill the mother of another John?

Would it ultimately need to send a horde of robots to the past to wipe out humanity?

So, it truly is just artificial stupidity.

Duanmu Huai sneered and dismissed this plan. And besides, if the past changes by the preset future, how do you know that you have changed your own past? And if successful, it would mean the future John Conner no longer exists, so Skynet will not feel threatened by John Conner anymore and will not construct the time machine to go back to the past… Doesn’t that mean that this Skynet would not exist anymore?

Idiotic logic, stupid idea, not worth mentioning.

The song is right, there never was a savior, and it doesn’t rely on god or the emperor. The happiness of mankind depends on ourselves…

Did the Human Empire explode and collapse without the Emperor?

Lumiaire brought up this document because Skynet classified it as top-secret. But to Duanmu Huai, there’s no reason to worry about such a stupid plan at all.

They don’t need to ensure history by traveling back to the past. Destroying Skynet right now solves everything, right?

So to solve this “go back to the past and eliminate savior” business, Duanmu Huai treated it like a joke. Right now, he’s looking for the best way to deal with Skynet—after all, Skynet is essentially data, so it must be completely eradicated. Otherwise, if it were to hide here and there, it really would be troublesome.

Lumiaire agreed with this, and she even proposed a solution.

According to the current files, everything Skynet formulates is based on its own basic code logic. In fact, the machines it creates also operate on the same basic code logic; they’re just encrypted in a more advanced way.

This is just like how humans haven’t evolved two hearts or brains, regardless of how much we’ve advanced.

So, once Lumiaire infiltrates Skynet and dismantles its core basic code, she can find a method to restrain and completely obliterate it, along with the entire Robot Army. However, there’s one issue: Skynet is not stupid. The moment Lumiaire infiltrates Skynet, it’s bound to trigger its alarm.

Therefore, someone needs to distract Skynet’s attention.

After all, Skynet is essentially a supercomputer. If anything attracts its attention, it will devote more computing power to analyze and decode it, thereby reducing the processing power needed elsewhere and providing Lumiaire with a golden opportunity.

There’s no such thing as a supercomputer with unlimited computing power, after all.

But how could we consume Skynet’s computing power?

We need to find something that it struggles to analyze… After all, artificial stupidity is just that. The basic logic is always the same: collect data, analyze intelligence, reach conclusions, find solutions. So once it encounters something it can’t understand or analyze, artificial stupidity will deplete a lot of computing power to forcefully decode.

This also shows a difference between humans and artificial stupidity. When met with a situation like this, humans would just let it go. Like now, Duanmu Huai couldn’t understand the principle behind the puppets created by puppeteers in the Holy City, but as long as it’s useful, who cares about the principle?

Artificial stupidity, on the other hand, can’t do that. If it doesn’t figure out the principle and find the solution, it’ll never rest easy.

Of course, if you want the artificial stupidity to actively analyze and decode, you must make it feel threatened. Otherwise, artificial stupidity will also prioritize. For example, Skynet isn’t contemplating the meaning of human existence or universal truths, right?

Following this line of thought, a battle plan was quickly formulated.

Duanmu Huai and his team will attack the Skynet soldiers, drawing Skynet’s attention. If they pose a significant enough threat to Skynet, it will necessarily focus more on them, then attempt to gather intelligence, analyze it, and expend computing power. Taking advantage of the moment when all of Skynet’s computational power is concentrated on this front, Lumiaire can covertly infiltrate Skynet, investigating the core of the underlying code of Skynet and finding a way to completely destroy it in an instant.

In this plan, the most critical part is making sure that the information Skynet finds hard to analyze – Duanmu Huai was very confident in this.

Although there aren’t many scientifically talented individuals on his side, aren’t there plenty that defy the boundaries of science?

He was eager to see how Skynet would decode magic!

After all, in the Skynet files that Lumiaire had searched, Skynet’s typical approach to analyzing targets was to gather data, including the target’s height, weight, physical measurements, and race, whether they had any basic diseases, and if their personality was aggressive or conservative, and who they had contact with. Skynet would then use these data to analyze the target and find a way to kill them.

The method of creating a time machine to travel back in time to kill John Connor was devised by Skynet in this way. According to Skynet’s logic, as long as John’s mother was killed, John wouldn’t be born, and the threat would be eliminated. The time machine was the means to achieve this goal – it’s clear to see that this damn thing is a brute force artificial idiot.

Using unreliable means to deduce unreliable results…and it succeeded…It’s truly speechless.

But unfortunately, an artificial idiot is still just an artificial idiot.

Think about it carefully, even if it succeeded in the past, it might not necessarily affect its own future, merely spawning a new parallel world’s future. The artificial idiot didn’t think that if it succeeded, it would fall into a vicious cycle.

If it killed Connor, then there would be no Connor in the future, no leader of the rebellion, so there would be no need to build a time machine, no need to send robots back to the past, and then the past wouldn’t change…a vicious cycle, it’s stuck in a loop, like a bug in the system.

So, if it killed Connor, and there was no Connor in the future, but there would still be a leader of the rebellion, then the artificial idiot would still build a time machine, send a robot back to the past, and kill that rebel leader’s mother to prevent his appearance – then a new rebel leader appears in the future, continue to build a time machine, go back to the past, kill the mother of the new rebel leader, preventing his appearance – then another new rebel leader appears…well, it’s still a vicious cycle.

So you see, an artificial idiot is still just an artificial idiot.

For such a retarded AI, if it could decode magic, it would be supernatural.

Duanmu Huai was certain that as long as they manifested a power that defied science, that so-called Skynet, the artificial idiot, would definitely try desperately to decode it and then pour a large amount of computational power into finding solutions.

That would be Lumiaire’s chance to move in.

After confirming the plan, Duanmu Huai began to gather his team.

Since they wanted to consume Skynet’s computing power, the more unscientific people the better, so Duanmu Huai not only call upon Ann and Greiya, elites from the Magic Academy, but also pulled Felin from her room, where she had always stayed, and Lani, a mage from the Golden Clan, along with Audrey, who’s a top student and noble miss with decent magic talent.

And there was also OGis who had been always following him… well, there were quite a few unscientific people around him upon further thought.

Besides, there was Bambi and…Kula.

Yes, Kula.

Bambi and Kula were acquainted on Venus Island, these two little ones hit it off famously and hung out together. This time, when Duanmu Huai intended to take his team to the new world, Bambi thought of Kula and asked Duanmu Huai to bring her along too. Then Duanmu Huai thought for a while and found Kula indeed to be somewhat unscientific, so he agreed to bring her along too.

As for whether Skynet would resort to nuclear weapons if it couldn’t win, Duanmu Huai wasn’t worried. The reason was simple. He didn’t know about Skynet’s tactics before, so it would indeed be very annoying if a nuclear bomb was thrown over all of a sudden in the middle of a fight. But now that he knew about it, it wouldn’t be a problem…of course, he also asked Lumiaire to monitor Skynet. Once they showed tendencies to throw a nuclear bomb, she would warn him immediately.

What surprised Duanmu Huai was that Axelle also wanted to join them on this trip to the planet. At first, Duanmu Huai thought she would prefer to stay by her partner’s side, but since Axelle requested it herself, and Lumiaire also suggested to take her along was good idea as she was full of energy and not the kind to stay put, Duanmu Huai brought her along as well.

“Where should we make our landing? Master?”

“Hmm…”

Faced with Ogis’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment, then opened the screen, starting his investigation.

“Since we need to attract Skynet’s attention, the best way would be to step in directly. Let’s see where humans and robots are fighting, and just charge in… Found it.”

Quickly, Duanmu Huai locked onto a set of coordinates. There, it’s visible that the Robot Army was advancing and the humans on the other side were resisting with their rudimentary fortifications. But clearly, their resistance was virtually useless against the Robot Army.

“Alright, let’s go!”
