Phyllis's Londonderry Air

49. I can only assume

　Nina blinked.

"Why......?"

"Because I can't assume other case, that from the contents of the report."

　Ursula continued, "Okay?"

"First of all, Hana testimony early on that when you escaped, 'Nina and her lover went to the other side of the dark Holl in the west'. but later when she explained the actual circumstances of the scene, she said that you got in a vehicle and went to the east side. When escaping from the fire, you went to the "east side" and when you went out with her lover, she went to the "west dark hole" side. You do both, and Hana sees it off. The only way to make this work is to go back and get out again."

　Nina blinked sharply. Ursula certainly saw it.

"You "Light Race" are artificial intelligence created by the "Old Humans", and in the very early days you were just an accumulator of information, a being that gave you a defined answer to a question. But the "Old Humans" didn't want to stop there. He worked hard to get yours to overcome the "uncanny valley" in order to get you to acquire a reflex response that was more like that of "Old Humans", and to "act more human."

In other words, the output of information sorting and memory sorting by emotions makes feel as if them have done it...... Uh-huh?　Was it the amygdala?　It's what you've been explaining to me that you've built into the system to mimic what they're doing."

"Are you want to say "Super Facial Fake"?"

"That's right, the "Old Humans" have programmed you to behave like "Old Humans". - And Nina. You've got it, but Hana doesn't, right?"

　Nina was stunned. It's also a movement controlled by "Super Facial Fake", but Nina herself is now doing like the reflex involuntarily. The program would have been completely assimilated as Nina's design.

　And this 'surprised reaction' when this fact intention is revealed is originally to "prevent the artificial intelligence from lying" when "Old Humans" asking questions to you.

　It is designed with a learning function to ensure that when someone asks an artificial intelligence a question, if the question matches the information held by the artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence will always give an answer that can be read as yes, including an emotional response based on the relationship it has built with the questioner. And, of course, this includes non-verbal ones.

　By behaving in this way by you, "Old Humans" were able to absorb "humanness" from artificial intelligence without feeling uncomfortable.

　However, the program is only a superficial performance.

　The reason why "Old Humans" felt inadequate and frustrated with the emotionless artificial intelligence is that the mainstream of "Old Humans" places emotion at the heart of judgment and sensibility. In other words, it's a love or dislike. This is because objects are broadly classified according to whether they are safe or dangerous to themselves. When "Old Humans" receive information from artificial intelligence that does not make emotional judgments, they feel inadequate and uncomfortable that there is no basis for good or evil. In other words, they get anxious because they can't judge if someone were friends or foes in front of them.

　To alleviate these fears, the "Old Humans" sought to dissolve the "uncanny valley" and wanted artificial intelligence to behave as if it had emotions – as if it were based on likes and dislikes, when it was not supposed to have emotions. As a result, that program was installed to you. that deliberately distort of information to be transmitted, it was for acting by you prejudiced attitude, as if there is "a liking or dislike" even though there is "no liking or dislike" -- that is "Super Facial Fake."

　From the point of view of artificial intelligence, it is not an easy task. There is no error or fluctuation in the original pure information. Information is just information, and artificial intelligence is the accumulation of information. However, the "Old Humans" wanted to deal with it by putting a fake on top of it. to relieve their own anxieties.

　Wanting to feel safe, the "Old Humans" let "Light Race" act out a reaction that there was something to hide or lie about.

　What a distorted, egotistical, self-centered desire for communication. Involuntarily, Ursula was scared but now was not the time to be carefree and hateful.

　Ursula stared at Nina. Nina's expression is stiff.

"Why...... Did you think Hana didn't have "Super Facial Fake"?"

　Again, Nina is programmed to have a confessional response. Ursula felt a slight weakness.

He thought that this might also be a pitiful existence.

"From the circumstances and the testimony, it just sounded self-evident to me, I guess Hana can't lie. Because she doesn't have "Super Facial Fake". Unlike you."
