92: Chapter 92 Once born, it is unique.

The trivial matter of Li Yao fainting seemed insignificant compared to the major event of Wang Shuo becoming the mysterious presiding mentor.

Teacher Ding Runan simply waved her hand, and the experienced students spontaneously split into two, reluctantly helping the unconscious Li Yao to the infirmary.

Watching the two leave while looking back every few steps, Wang Shuo couldn't help but shudder; for a moment there, he felt as if he had been turned gay.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for an instant.

Wang Shuo turned back with lingering fear, just in time to meet the eyes of the other students, which were shining with excitement; a familiar feeling rushed over him...

"Mentor Wang Shuo."

Teacher Ding Runan's voice rang out at the right moment, giving Wang Shuo, who felt like he was being illuminated by dozens of high-power spotlights, a chance to catch his breath.

"The members of the entire group have basically all arrived, and the list is in your hands," Teacher Ding Runan said in a calm, unquestionable tone. "I want to know how you plan to arrange things next?"

How to arrange things? Wang Shuo looked at the expectant seniors and classmates around him and couldn't help but feel a headache. Honestly, this was the first time in his life he had become the backbone of a team, and he even had to lead the team's direction.

Although having technical skills meant he wasn't panicked, Wang Shuo still felt a bit unaccustomed to encountering such a situation; after all, it was evident from when he founded his company that he didn't seem suited for this kind of management role.

Perhaps the position most suitable for him was to be an absentee manager?

Having such a retirement mindset at such a young age—you've fallen, Wang Shuo!

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Shuo revealed a shy smile and pointed to Du Juan, who was standing in the front row.

Du Juan was dumbfounded, and everyone else also showed expressions of confusion.

"I understand," Teacher Ding Runan said indifferently. "Then let's start by learning new code concepts and structures."

New code concepts and structures! That sounds very high-end! Wang Shuo secretly praised in his heart, giving a thumbs up to Teacher Ding Runan's wit. As for why he had pointed at Du Juan... er... the booklet in her hand just now, who knows?

"Right, we must first understand the code concepts and structures," Wang Shuo said, finalizing the decision.

With the theme determined, the next steps became simple. The initial meeting quickly turned into a communication and discussion seminar for everyone, then finally into Wang Shuo's personal project showcase, and then... it turned into Mentor Wang Shuo's first public lecture.

Watching Wang Shuo in front of her talking confidently and eloquently, and listening to the terms she couldn't understand that popped out of his mouth from time to time, Du Juan's mouth was slightly agape. She looked at what she had written on the back of the booklet with some confusion, her mind unable to process it for a moment. When did she suddenly stop understanding?

It was clearly amazing at the beginning. Although it was sluggish, she was still stunned by the exaggerated ideas in Wang Shuo's narration, but why did she suddenly not understand as soon as it involved specific content?

What is neural simulation, what is variable arithmetic, what is logical correction algorithm—what are these? Why had she never even heard of them?

Looking to the left, Zhou Peng was biting his pen, frowning, already in a state of system crash.

Looking around again, it seemed there weren't many students who could understand; everyone was in a similar state, with the exception of one person...

"Professor Liu..." Du Juan looked with some envy at Professor Liu Feiting, who was nodding earnestly and taking down line after line of small notes in her notebook, even occasionally showing a hint of surprise.

That was the surprise of seeing something one loves; Du Juan knew this clearly because she was in the same state whenever she suddenly solved a problem that had troubled her for a long time.

As expected of a professor, she could understand... while she herself didn't even know what classmate Wang Shuo was talking about.

For the first time, Du Juan felt a sense of regret for not studying hard.

Others had similar feelings.

The students' thoughts were actually not complex. If the group members were only them, and the mentor Teacher Ding Runan suddenly announced was someone everyone recognized as a poor student, even if this poor student performed brilliantly and even talked about some shallow knowledge that other professors would teach, even if they didn't know it, they wouldn't be convinced.

But now, those participating in the group weren't just them; there were their seniors, and there was a legendary professor. And the things this poor student was talking about were a dimensionality reduction strike; even the professor had to take notes earnestly and ask questions without shame. In that case... who would dare not to be convinced?

This was already a person not at their level. How to compare? How to compete?

Zhou Peng shrank his head and listened intently; even if he didn't understand, he had to try his best to write it down and strive to understand it.

Perhaps his career as a poor student was about to change from now on.

"So much for the basic principles of code. Next, I will tell you how to precisely implement machine intelligence..."

"Professor Wang." Professor Liu Feiting raised her hand, carefully interrupting Wang Shuo, signaling that she had a question.

When the word "Professor" was spoken, no one felt it was abrupt. In just over two hours, everyone had been conquered by Wang Shuo's unconstrained ideas. The key was that these ideas seemed to have solid theoretical support and were not entirely castles in the air.

After receiving Wang Shuo's nod, she stood up like a primary school student and asked very cautiously: "You just used the word 'precise'. Do you mean that... the current intelligence, or rather intelligent algorithms, are all... imprecise?"

Listening to Professor Liu Feiting's uncertain tone, Wang Shuo smiled slightly: "Professor Liu, that is a very good question. In fact, in my view, existing intelligent products are not just imprecise; they are crude, poorly made, and even a kind of semi-finished product."

Semi-finished product? Professor Liu Feiting looked stunned; she didn't expect to hear such an evaluation from Wang Shuo.

Modern Artificial Intelligence actually originated quite early. As early as the birth of computers, the industry already had the idea of Artificial Intelligence, but the technology at the time limited computer performance. It wasn't until recent years, after explosive growth in computer performance, especially supercomputer performance, that Artificial Intelligence had made significant progress. This was the result of the efforts of generations over decades, and now, Wang Shuo had actually denied these achievements with just a light sentence.

If these words were to get out... Teacher Ding Runan and Professor Liu Feiting felt a chill down their spines.

Du Juan listened carefully. She had decided not to speak on any field she didn't understand; rashly speaking would only make her former classmates look down on her, although she felt she was already very insignificant in front of Wang Shuo.

"Current Artificial Intelligence is actually just a variant of computer algorithms. After generations of derivation and iteration, it has become very complex. But even if it is very complex and ever-changing, the core is still old-fashioned computer algorithms; it is still just a program."

"What is a program? It is a process where humans solidify and determine a type of work according to inherent steps, thereby making the work repeatable. Programs have fixed output results. The only difference between current Artificial Intelligence and programs is... its output results are more diversified, and it can perform simple conditional filtering."

"But this is still not enough. Such simple conditional settings result in the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence. Numerous Artificial Intelligences, due to different databases, different algorithms, and different application scenarios, have emerged one after another, so many that they are dazzling and impossible to choose from."

"This is not right. Although there is nothing wrong with diversified development, such a large number of pseudo-Artificial Intelligences have caused a great waste of resources. The fact that we have been unable to make a breakthrough in computer hardware is not unrelated to this."

"So I believe..."

Wang Shuo's eyes were bright as he spoke his views after learning about the Humanoid Race society.

"A true Artificial Intelligence—one is enough!"

"Once born... it is unique!"
