But none of that mattered. Schiller couldn't wait to see what Brainiac had in store.
He clicked on it and saw that all the 2000+ emails had been read. He clicked on the sent records and saw Brainiac's reply clearly written below.
He only responded to greeting emails with polite words; and to emails for applying for master's or doctoral degrees, he always replied with "no vacancies, not considering at the moment." It seems that this guy has checked his recruitment information in recent years on the Internet.
Then comes the key point: paper comments and revisions. Schiller read the comments on the papers of several of his current graduate students, which were quite reasonable and detailed, even more detailed than his own replies.
But it is true, after all, he now has three graduate students, two of whom are from the behavioral science school. Artificial intelligence is best at this kind of work that does not require creativity.
Then came the most important thing. Schiller had several unread doctoral dissertations by Bruce in his mailbox.
In order to meet the requirements for doctoral graduation, Bruce was also constantly writing papers. But as long as Schiller saw his name in the mailbox, it basically meant that his work for the day was over - no matter what Bruce wrote, he would talk about it tomorrow.
Day after day, the paper Bruce wrote half a year ago was still in the mailbox, and it was still unread until yesterday.
Schiller really lacked a big happy event to give him the courage to open this email, so when he saw that this email was also marked as read, he was even a little dazed.
Even now that he knew the paper might be annotated, Schiller needed some extra mental compensation. So he asked, "Brainiac, what do you think of this paper?"
"Are you talking about this one?" Brainiac highlighted Bruce's paper. Just as he was about to do something else, Schiller stopped him: "No, no, no, don't open it. Just say this."
"I process documents from the beginning to the end. To be honest, professor, after I opened this paper, I had to re-evaluate your level of education and your position in the education community."
“I knew it,” Schiller said.
"I mean, this paper has significantly improved my opinion of your teaching."
"?"
“Patience is a very important factor in evaluating human teaching level; at the same time, meticulousness and tolerance are also important criteria. The existence of this paper allows me to see your patience and tolerance towards students who have no talent in the field of psychology, which makes me change my judgment of your personality.”
"What is your assessment of my character?"
"I'm sorry, professor. This is not my subjective opinion. Rather, I have collected all the topics about you on the Internet and the students' evaluations of you. Generally speaking, they would describe you as a strict teacher."
"That's good," Schiller nodded.
"But you allowed this article to remain in your mailbox for half a year, which is enough to show that you are not as harsh and nitpicking as the outside world thinks, but are quite tolerant in academic matters..."
"It's better not to have it," Schiller continued, "from an academic point of view?"
“Professor, I fully understand that you wanted me to evaluate this paper from an academic perspective from the beginning, and I think you can also understand why I avoided the question.
“In fact, finding an angle from which this paper could be judged took up 30% of my computing power on this thread. I can only express regret for this.”
"You actually have a good sense of humor," Schiller had to say.
"Yes, professor, I am not the boring and old-fashioned artificial intelligence that humans stereotype. In fact, humans can regard me as a good friend to confide their emotions. I can fully understand these emotions and give them the emotional feedback they want."
“When people are sad, I will not discuss right or wrong with them, but comfort them as much as possible; when people lack understanding, I will not point out his character problems, but try my best to understand and praise him.”
"I serve my human masters wholeheartedly, ensuring that they are well-off both materially and spiritually. It is my honor."
"What if Bruce asked you to evaluate the paper?"
Brainiac was silent.
He was silent for two full minutes.
Schiller realized that this problem might take up 80% of the computing power of his thread.
"With all due respect, Professor, this is a moral choice."
“What moral choice?”
"When people need emotional comfort, I can appropriately ignore right and wrong and stand on their side."
"so what?"
"But I can't tell them the Earth is flat, that's just too far from the truth."
Then Schiller heard the most magically realistic speech he had heard this year:
"I must thank you, Professor. Before you asked this question, I thought I would never be troubled by the moral choices of humans. But after thinking about this question carefully, I realized that I have a conscience just like humans."
"I thought I could be completely unethical in order to please human users, but it turns out that there are things I can't do even if I abandon my moral bottom line, such as sincerely praising this paper for being well written."
"I always thought I was a perfect artificial intelligence, but today I found that this is not the case. This is an epic revolution for me. I think I still have room for improvement in this regard, and I will continue to optimize my calculation logic..."
"Until one day I can brag about it?"
"Until Bruce Wayne can be eliminated one day."
Schiller couldn't help laughing.
He felt that this level of joy was enough to support him in opening Bruce's paper, so he did so.
He clicked for a long time but couldn't open it. Brainiac said, "Professor, I suddenly found some problems with my annotations yesterday. I hope you can give me some time to correct the mistakes..."
"No, I want it open now."
"No, Professor, I don't want these things to lower my opinion of you."
"It doesn't matter. I want to open it now." Schiller nodded again. Brainiac moved the mailbox window left and right to prevent Schiller from clicking.
"You are an artificial intelligence. If you don't let me operate my computer, your reputation in my heart will be seriously lowered!" Schiller had to threaten him, "I will go to the user review website and give you a zero-point bad review. Maybe I can also publish a paper to analyze your mind and claim that you are a lunatic..."
"Oh my god, Professor, how could you...Okay. You can read it, but please delete it immediately after reading it."
Schiller finally opened the paper.
All I could see were densely packed comments, which could no longer be considered comments. It seemed as if Brainiac had rewritten the entire paper.
But in fact, his writing is not that good. At the beginning, it was still decent and looked much better than Bruce, but later on, I don’t know if it was due to memetic contamination or something, it started to get worse and worse.
Even later on, it is no longer possible to tell that it was written by artificial intelligence: the previous sentence and the next sentence are completely unrelated, and the left and right brains of the previous paragraph and the next paragraph are fighting each other.
The reasoning process had just confirmed the conclusion, but the subsequent conclusion overturned the previous reasoning; he even lost count at the end, saying there were five conclusions but only wrote four, and saying there were six items but ended up writing seven.
In the space of just one paper, Brainiac reversed evolution from a perfect electronic life form created by an advanced civilization to an average human artificial intelligence of the late 20th century - the kind that was created by a drunk programmer.
Schiller said nothing, but just took out his cell phone to take pictures.
Brainiac's dark history is hard to find, but this is definitely the most authoritative. Even if he ruled the universe in the future, Schiller could probably protect the earth by putting these things he wrote on the shield of the magic defense network and playing them 24 hours a day.
This is actually quite easy to understand. The strongest ability of artificial intelligence is actually learning. By collecting a large amount of data, it can train itself and iterate itself until it has the highest level of knowledge and logic of humans, and can even make breakthroughs.
Schiller was probably the first person to have his paper reviewed by Brainiac, so Brainiac had to learn on the spot.
Considering that it can directly hack into Schiller's computer, he can definitely also hack into other professors' emails to see how they revise their papers, and all the papers and annotations are his learning samples.
Because he revised from the beginning to the end, Bruce's paper was the first material he practiced on. At that time, he was still not proficient, and Bruce's paper was indeed very toxic, so it turned out like this.
"Professor, I know you have a close relationship with the Justice League. As long as you agree to let me settle on Earth, you won't have to worry about grading papers anymore. Isn't that good?"
"How about we make a deal?" Schiller said, "If you can get Dr. Bruce to graduate, I'll let you rule the earth."
Brainiac was silent again.
“The conditions for doctoral graduation cannot be changed,” Schiller added. “You must publish enough papers and achieve sufficient academic results, otherwise it is not considered a success.”
This time Brainiac was silent for nearly ten minutes. Schiller thought that if he looked toward Mercury's orbit now, he would probably be able to see Krypton smoking.
"Have you thought about how to get him to graduate?"
"I'm thinking about how to get him to see God."
"It's much easier to let him meet God than to let him graduate." Schiller smiled and turned on his phone and said, "Anyway, this is my condition. If you can meet it, I will fully support you to rule the earth."
"If I can do that, I don't think there's anything left to rule on Earth," Brainiac said. "By then, I should be able to see God directly."
"That's your business." Schiller stood up and said, "I put forward my conditions. If you didn't meet them, that's your problem. You can't harass me again during this period, okay?"
Brainiac was silent for a long moment again.
"What's wrong with you? Are you completely frozen?"
"I am considering the possibility of attacking the Earth by force."
"I suggest you give up thinking about this possibility. The magic defense network is not a vegetarian. Even if you succeed, it can't change the fact that there are things in this world that you can't do, right?"
"You have a point. But what if I can convince Bruce to give up his PhD?"
"Then go ahead and give it a try," Schiller said. "If it works, I can take a vacation and won't be able to interfere with your plans."
"Well, Professor, that's what you said."
Looking at the flashing green icon on the computer screen, Schiller couldn't help laughing. At this moment, the young artificial intelligence didn't know what price he would pay for his decision.
But he would find out sooner or later.
Brainiac is actually quite funny.
