Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Pseudo-Artificial Intelligence_1

"This is our artificial intelligence product, which can carry out simple communicative dialogues. Whatever you ask it to do, it will do," Gao Hai introduced.

"I’ve tried that and indeed it is so," Zhou Chengyu nodded.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Wan, Mr. Li, you can give it a try," Gao Hai said, looking towards Shen Dong and the other two.

"Go get me a glass of water," Wan Pengfei was the first to speak up.

"Yes, please wait a moment." After replying, the robot walked over to the water dispenser in the corner, took out a paper cup, filled it with water, and then brought it to Wan Pengfei.

"Not bad." Wan Pengfei took the cup, drank the water, then handed the cup back to the robot, "Where should you put this cup?"

The robot stood motionless, holding the paper cup.

"You don’t know?" Wan Pengfei was stunned.

To him, this seemed like a very simple question.

The entity was supposed to be artificial intelligence; it should certainly be able to figure this out.

Shen Dong, Zhou Chengyu, and Li Kaiyao were equally stunned.

Was this robot, unable to discern and act upon such a simple issue?

"Ahem, this robot hasn’t received similar information before, so it won’t react accordingly," Gao Hai hurriedly explained.

"Isn’t it artificial intelligence? If it can’t even handle something this simple, what’s the point of claiming it’s artificial intelligence?" Wan Pengfei questioned.

Shen Dong and the others had similar doubts.

"Mr. Wan, your understanding is not quite correct. After all, artificial intelligence is not human. Sometimes, not knowing how to respond is quite normal. You can try something else," Gao Hai took the paper cup from the robot’s hand, threw it into the nearby trash can, and changed the subject.

"How should you greet me when you see me?" Li Kaiyao stood in front of the robot and asked.

This was an open-ended question.

The robot did not respond.

"This doesn’t work either?" Li Kaiyao was startled.

"Ahem, this may also be because it hasn’t received similar information and won’t respond," Gao Hai’s forehead began to sweat a bit, "Try something else, for instance, give it a clear command. Let me demonstrate for you."

He said to the robot, "Bring me a chair over here."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The robot replied and immediately went to fetch a chair, placing it in front of Gao Hai.

"You see, like this. If you give it a clear instruction, it can execute it perfectly," Gao Hai explained.

"If it were true artificial intelligence, like the questions just now from Mr. Fei and Yao, it would be able to respond accordingly," Shen Dong spoke up.

He had pretty much figured out what was going on.

That morning, after reading the email sent by the system, he gained a deeper understanding of the artificial intelligence industry and its products.

A robot like this one wasn’t real artificial intelligence, but merely a machine embedded with programmed chips.

It was quite rigid and practically useless.

This type of thing could also be called pseudo artificial intelligence.

"Mr. Shen, this is our direction, and we have an outstanding team. In the near future, we will certainly be able to achieve this," Gao Hai said.

"Well, I wish you success," Shen Dong smiled but didn’t say much more.

Now that he knew what was going on, there was no need to spell it out and possibly upset the other party; after all, he wasn’t going to invest, and who would invest in the future was none of his concern.

"Then let’s talk about the investment and share participation," Gao Hai steered the conversation towards investment.

"We’ll need to go back and think this over. If we feel it is worth investing, we will contact you. Thanks for your hospitality," Shen Dong smiled slightly and said to Zhou Chengyu and the others, "Let’s go."

"Okay." Zhou Chengyu and the others had no objections.

They had realized that Shen Dong was no longer interested in investing.

They didn’t want to invest either, after all, what investment value could there be in a robot that couldn’t even handle such a simple question?

What "Top AI Company of the World," such a domineering name, yet the product is so shoddy.

"Alright, our company is indeed very promising, and I hope you will seriously consider it. There are quite a few people wanting to invest now, and I’m weighing my options. If you take too long to decide, I might not need your investment anymore." Gao Hai added a sense of urgency to Shen Dong and his group.

"Okay," Shen Dong nodded, without exposing the other party’s lie.

Such a company, such products, if they could get investment, the investor must be a fool with too much money.

Shen Dong and his group left and went outside.

"Shen Dong, what do you think?" Zhou Chengyu asked.

"This company won’t do, that was clearly just a robot embedded with a pre-set program chip, and it’s very mechanical; you can’t even talk about artificial intelligence. This Gao Hai is just coaxing fools with money to invest," Shen Dong shook his head.

"That’s what I think too," Wan Pengfei said. "If it can’t even do something so simple, what kind of artificial intelligence is that?"

"I agree." Li Kaiyao chimed in.

"Well, I misjudged this time," Zhou Chengyu said bitterly.

Originally, he thought he had found a company worth investing in, which could make everyone money.

But it turned out to be a fake artificial intelligence company.

This showed that his judgment was indeed not up to par.

That was what depressed him the most.

"Mr. Zhou, you don’t have to be so downhearted. I did some research last night, and the field of artificial intelligence is indeed worth investing in; we just need to screen the companies. If you hadn’t mentioned this last night, I wouldn’t have paid attention to this field," Shen Dong patted Zhou Chengyu on the shoulder.

"Shen Dong, have you found a company worth investing in?" Zhou Chengyu caught the implication in Shen Dong’s words, and his eyes lit up.

"I have found one that looks like a worthwhile company to invest in from the information, but how it really is, we’ll have to see when we go there," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"Then let’s go take a look. If it’s a company you found, it must be investable," Zhou Chengyu said excitedly.

He had full trust in Shen Dong; anything that Shen Dong was interested in was worth investing in.

"That’s right, you say invest, and we’ll invest," Li Kaiyao was eager to try.

Now that he had money, he wanted to follow Shen Dong into some investments.

After all, who would complain about making too much money?

Besides, if he invested, someone else would be making money for him, so he wouldn’t have to worry.

"I haven’t contacted them yet, let me first contact them and set up a time."

Shen Dong took out his phone and dialed the founder’s phone number of Zongheng Artificial Intelligence Company.

That was the name of the company founded by the tech genius college student.

Soon, the call was answered.

"Hello."

A somewhat weary voice came through.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin? I’ve learned that your company is seeking financing, and I’m interested in investing. I’d like to visit your company in person first. When would be convenient for you?" Shen Dong said.

The man named Lin Yan, a tech genius, was the founder of Zongheng Artificial Intelligence Company.

"You want to invest?" Lin Yan asked, sounding somewhat numb.

He had been seeking investment for a long time, and numerous people had come over in that period.

Those who visited the company didn’t have a good opinion about its prospects and didn’t invest.

In Lin Yan’s view, Shen Dong was no different from the people he had received before.
