Three days later, Eugene, the world’s most advanced intelligent robot, officially met with Mr. Liu in a studio.
Eugene had a pair of slender mechanical arms, and three flexible fingers that could pick up small chess pieces. His face was made up of an LCD screen, and his eyes were round and blinked from time to time, making him look very cute. His voice was also a specially recorded baby voice, which made people feel sweet when they heard it.
The audience was full of people, who kept pointing at Eugene on the big screen and praising him with words like “so cute, so adorable”. It seemed that he had gained a lot of fans these days.
Reporters from major media outlets also flocked to the stage and took a lot of photos.
Someone held up a microphone in front of Zhuang Han, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, and asked loudly, “Mr. Zhuang, who do you think will win the game? Mr. Liu, who is ranked first in the world, or the robot Eugene you invented?”
“I am very confident in the robot I invented.” Zhuang Han responded tactfully.
The reporter handed the microphone to Zhuang Jincheng again.
“I have more confidence in my son.” Zhuang Jincheng also used the same sentence structure.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled. Their every move showed a perfect understanding. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.
The reporter soon spotted Zhuang Li sitting alone, so he rushed over and asked, “Mr. Zhuang, what do you think the result of this game will be?”
Zhuang Li’s personality was much more direct than Zhuang Han’s. He said with certainty, “Mr. Liu will lose.”
Mr. Liu, who was sitting on the stage, looked down immediately with a hidden angry expression on his face.
The reporter then became excited and asked, “Why do you think Mr. Liu will lose?”
Zhuang Li stared at the intelligent robot on the stage and said slowly, “There are 19 lines in total in Go – 361 intersections where you can place your pieces. The complexity of the state space is as high as 10 to the 171th power. It doesn’t sound that great, but if I tell you that the total number of atoms that make up the universe is 10 to the 80th power, you will understand what a small chessboard actually carries. It is a battlefield that is even more vast than the universe.”
The reporter holding the microphone was stunned. He had never expected that this famous playboy could say such profound words.
Zhuang Han looked over with a smile, seeming to appreciate his elder brother’s remarks, but his eyes dimmed. The man in front of him suddenly made him feel very strange. This was not the useless Zhuang Li he knew.
Zhuang Li continued, “Humans play chess by calculation and inspiration, while Eugene plays chess by brute force, calculating 200 million steps per second. The probability of error is very rare, but human calculation and inspiration often make mistakes.”
“Eugene is a machine that can always maintain its best condition, but the human brain will become tired after operating for a long time. In summary, Eugene’s chance of winning is as high as 99.9%. The remaining 0.01% is my consolation to Mr. Liu.”
Although this was a harsh remark, it sounded very reasonable! The reporters who gathered around him couldn’t help but nod their heads, already mesmerized by Zhuang Li’s eloquent speech.
This playboy was surprisingly charming when he got serious.
Zhuang Han clapped his hands gently and said in a warm voice, “Thank you, big brother, for your affirmation of Eugene.”
Zhuang Li glanced at him coldly and suddenly changed the subject: “But Eugene’s intelligence is far from being able to replace humans. It is not as safe and reliable as you advertise. On the contrary, it still has fatal flaws. If it is rashly used in the field of autonomous driving, it will cause unpredictable consequences.”
Being denied by a loser in front of the media, Zhuang Han’s lips, which had always been smiling, finally straightened, and a layer of haze covered his dark pupils.
Zhuang Jincheng scolded in a low voice: “What nonsense are you talking about? Seeing your brother get successful, are you jealous?”
Zhuang Li didn’t even look at Zhuang Jincheng. He said slowly to the camera, “After Mr. Liu loses, I will fight Eugene again, and I will be the final winner. I will prove to you with facts that Cambrian’s intelligent AI technology is not yet commercially viable.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene exploded.
The organizer projected the footage of the reporter’s interview onto the LED screen in the studio and also transmitted it to the live broadcast room, so that everyone could see Zhuang Li and hear his extremely arrogant words.
[Has Master Zhuang lost his mind? Eugene is so smart, but he still says that others’ technology is immature. Is he really suffering from red eye disease?]
[Mr. Zhuang usually likes to show off his wealth and brag, but this time it seems he accidentally blew his own trumpet!]
[Oh my, I don’t care if he’s just bragging or not! I just like to see him get slapped in the face in the end!]
[Hahaha, me too! I can’t wait!]
[This game is getting more and more interesting! I really want to know where Mr. Zhuang got the courage to challenge the AI robot!]
[Probably given by Fish Leong, hahahaha…]
There were a lot of mocking voices on the Internet, and the competition scene also set off a climax.
Someone raised his hand and shouted, “Master Zhuang, whoever doesn’t go up and play chess with Eugene later is a pig!”
Zhuang Li glanced at the man and nodded, “Okay, it’s a deal.”
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the audience, who were already very interested in the competition, became even more excited.
Of course, they all knew that the probability of Zhuang Li, a playboy, defeating Eugene was lower than negative. Did he even know how to play chess? Did he know how to calculate? Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he knew nothing!
But what the audience wanted to see was just Zhuang Li’s embarrassing defeat, and they wanted to feel the pleasure of this rich second-generation being crushed by the robot, so they tried their best to instigate and encourage him.
