Artificial intelligence has always been a hot field of research. As of now, every major internet company has developed its own AI systems.
But most of these AIs are pre-programmed with specific responses, which is how they manage to communicate effectively with users.
The moment the user asks something outside the preset parameters, the AI instantly turns into artificial stupidity and cannot understand the meaning of the question at all.
From what they had seen so far, this Gaia did not seem to have that problem!
She answered every single sentence Jenny spoke!
Moreover, Gaia's tone and choice of words felt far superior to the AI products from those major internet companies!
It was exactly like talking to a real person!
But the biggest problem was that this was just a game.
Gaia's AI was merely an accessory included in this game!
This was simply ridiculous.
"I suddenly have a bold idea. Could it be that while developing Subnautica, New World Studio also created the world's most advanced artificial intelligence?"
[No way. If that's true, then New World Studio would be way too powerful!]
[I don't believe it either. That conclusion is too crazy. We should observe Gaia a bit more first.]
[Yeah, yeah. It's still too early to jump to that conclusion!]
Although the viewers in the livestream room all had this bold thought in their minds, reason told them it was impossible.
How could something included in a game surpass years of hard work by major internet companies?!
Sticking to the principle of caution, they did not make any hasty judgments about Gaia.
Still, from what they had seen so far, the viewers all felt that Gaia level of intelligence was definitely extremely high!
"This time I'm definitely going to make it!"
On the other side, after a period of intense practice, Jenny shouted and jumped up energetically from the floor.
She had firmly memorized everything Gaia had taught her and completely understood how to swim!
More importantly, she had mostly overcome her fear of the ocean.
"One more time!!!"
Jenny declared boldly, then opened the hatch and bravely jumped into the ocean.
"Don't panic, don't panic."
Jenny mentally cheered herself on while calmly paddling.
A few seconds later, she finally stopped sinking and began swimming freely through the sea!
"I did it! I did it!!!" Jenny laughed loudly. "As expected of me! I have such incredible talent. I learned how to swim so quickly!!!"
This time the trolls could not hold back:
[Calling yourself incredibly talented? I've been watching you learn how to swim for so long!!!]
[You literally turned this game into a swimming simulator!]
[No matter what, at least we can finally see what the rest of the game is like!]
Now that she had learned how to swim, Jenny finally had the mood to admire the beautiful underwater scenery. The seagrass, reefs, and various fish swimming around her left her completely mesmerized.
She looked around constantly, like Erika Kirk entering the stadium.
"Beautiful girl, please do not forget that what you need most right now is food and fresh water!"
Seeming to notice that Jenny was too absorbed in the scenery, Gaia kindly reminded her.
Jenny immediately turned her attention to the small fish and shrimp around her and asked worriedly, "But I don't know if these fish are edible."
"This system has scanning capabilities. By scanning objects, you can obtain biological data or technological blueprints." Gaia replied.
"You can do that too?!" Jenny said in surprise. "Then how do I use it?"
"You only need to point the bracelet at the object you wish to scan."
"OK, got it!"
Jenny first surfaced to replenish her oxygen, then dove back down.
"Let's start with this one." Jenny extended her right hand and pointed the bracelet at a nearby reef. A purple beam shot out and quickly scanned the reef.
Gaia soon provided feedback.
"Limestone formation. This geological structure is typically found surrounding copper ore and titanium ore. Assessment: Can be used as a source for metallic copper and titanium."
"Copper and titanium don't seem very useful to me though."
Jenny, whose physics and chemistry grades were absolutely terrible, muttered to herself.
"How could they not be useful?" Gaia immediately refuted her mercilessly.
"Titanium is currently the most commonly used construction material, while copper is the foundational material for manufacturing all electrical equipment."
"You can use these two metals to craft more items, allowing you to survive better on this planet."
"Uh, is it that amazing?" Jenny said. She was not a science student and was not particularly interested in these things. "Never mind, I'd better find food and water first."
The viewers burst out laughing when they heard this.
[HAHAHAHA, if I were Gaia, I'd probably be driven crazy by Jenny!]
[It's like a teacher explaining something for a long time, only for the student to respond with 'Is that so?'.]
[Good thing Gaia is just an AI and not a real person, otherwise she'd definitely want to beat Jenny up!]
