What's the best way to create artificial intelligence? In 1950, Alan Turing wrote, 'Many people think that a very abstract activity, like the playing of chess, would be best. It can also be maintained that it is best to provide the machine with the best sense organs that money can buy, and then teach it to understand and speak English. This process could follow the normal teaching of a child. Things would be pointed out and named, etc. Again I do not know what the right answer is, but I think both approaches should be tried.'
The first approach has been tried many times in both science fiction and reality. In this new novella, at over 30,000 words, his longest work to date, Ted Chiang offers a detailed imagining of how the second approach might work within the contemporary landscape of startup companies, massively-multiplayer online gaming, and open-source software. It's a story of two people and the artificial intelligences they helped create, following them for more than a decade as they deal with the upgrades and obsolescence that are inevitable in the world of software. At the same time, it's an examination of the difference between processing power and intelligence, and of what it means to have a real relationship with an artificial entity.

所讀為2011年9月《科幻世界·譯文版》Ent譯本 文/caesarphoenix 《譯文版》刊登過非常多傑齣的中篇小說,例如海因萊因的《太空孤兒》(以飛船為宇宙的孤兒發現世界探索未知的旅程)、喬治·馬丁的《圍城》(意識穿越迴關鍵時間點改變曆史,《源代碼》...
評分視角很獨特,嘗試從一個電子寵物的角度闡述愛、堅持的道理。 文章本身比較平淡,但是內核架構很有創意——用代碼模擬基因甚至是靈魂。但個人覺得這也是文章本身的弱點:總覺得基因很難變化;靈魂更是虛幻飄渺。把這些變成代碼——可輕易重寫重構——總覺得缺乏瞭厚重感,難以實...
評分人工智能題材一直是科幻的最愛之一。從哈爾9000到天網,從AI中的小男孩到機器人瓦力,大傢對這些AI形象耳熟能詳。但仔細想想AI是怎麼發展過來的?很少有作傢寫清楚。絕大多數科幻小說裏,AI似乎都是一下子覺醒瞭過來,接下來就開始和人類展開各種復雜關係瞭。而老薑的這篇《軟...
評分這本書沒有史詩性的構架,沒有瑰麗的描寫,沒有解決問題的某個簡單猜想,相反,特德薑提齣瞭一係列很睏擾讀者的問題,草草想來,起碼有如下幾個: 1. 人工智能從模擬世界移植到真實世界時它會有怎樣的感受? 2. 人工智能的成熟標準是否與人類相同? 3. 經驗作為一個算法,是...

圖書標籤: 科幻 TedChiang 特德·薑 美國 小說 特德·蔣 SciFi SF
不同於特德薑以往作品,多瞭很多溫情和不可解的成分。淡淡的憂傷和甜蜜。
評分讀的是科幻世界譯文版2011年9月上的譯文,此文非常紮實,對人工智能發展軌跡的預言令人信服,關於倫理學、自由意誌的思考也開放且嚴謹,並有大量關於人物生活的細節。此文的可信與動人,往往會使人不能意識到這個點子的牛逼之處,我以為這是特德薑對自己的突破。
評分這幾年對科幻小說的喜愛淡瞭,對人工智能之類的題材也不抱太大興趣~都是被生活的壓力逼的~~
評分這篇讓我最感興趣的就是用淡定寫實的語氣講述瞭人工製造意識甚或是「靈魂」的可能性,以及其中涉及的各種倫理和社會問題。話題不新鮮,但寫的方式和角度很喜歡,充滿瞭同情與愛。
評分特德薑在我心中落下神壇的一篇,露齣瞭弱點,其他隻是單純三觀不閤,對那種柔軟富有情感的地方感到厭煩
