The Other Side of Man

About This Novel
Entrepreneur Ren Yi divides himself into multiple identical "selves", so that he can take care of multiple activities and appointments at the same time; one day Qian Rui returned home and found that his haggard mother, who he had just served in the hospital, was standing in front of him healthily; the smart housekeeper named Chen Da, " Saw the murder of the owner Linda... Smart products are becoming smarter. If the timeline is stretched very long, until the artificial chip implanted after birth becomes standard like a birth certificate in the future, you will no longer be able to distinguish who is a human and who is an AI-enabled person. So when that day comes, will humans think it is better to be human, or to be AI-enabled human beings? Hao Jingfang has conceived six short and medium science fiction stories, the protagonists of which are undoubtedly humans and AI. Humans and AI look across the river. As a rational AI, can it definitely learn a set of irrational mental representations from humans?

Passing mission. . . . . .
While enjoying the convenience that the development of artificial intelligence brings to life, we are also worried about the future of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. How humans and artificial intelligence will coexist in the future is indeed thought-provoking.
The writing is worthy of recognition. As for the story, I personally think it is ordinary, but life is not ordinary.
So, it's very contradictory. I want to look at it but don't want to look down. Man, it is complicated, so complicated that it is as terrifying as the entire universe. At the same time, it is fragile and will turn into dust when night comes.
Good. . . . .
So well written, so well written.
Fortunately, I'm looking forward to a lot of works
Good-looking means that it looks pretty good.
The Other Side of Man-Book Review
The other side of people is not just the other side of people. To be honest, it's rare to see a science fiction novel in the past two years that can write such an imaginative, profound, and thought-provoking story. Several stories in the book explore different issues respectively. In the end, there is no right or wrong in each story, but only conflicts and contradictions in positions and concepts. What is a person? What is artificial intelligence? What is the difference between humans and artificial intelligence in the future? Can artificial intelligence replace people? Can emotional needs also be substituted? When we love a person, do we love his/her conscious thinking body or his material body more? Are people really as rational as we think they are? Do you have to have high IQ and high EQ to be considered a complete person? Do you have to be completely objective, rational and calm to be a qualified person? Spontaneity, impulsiveness, sensibility, emotion, ambition and even evil thoughts, aren't those with these considered human beings? When one day there is something that can eliminate and suppress the parts that human civilization considers to be bad, will people at that time still be complete human beings? Another new person? Or a group of human-like aliens? More often than not, people's demands for their own so-called perfection are like moral kidnappings, which frame people within an increasingly limited definition. For this reason, they have also established a series of different chains of contempt, and the sense of superiority framed by this definition in turn limits people themselves. It is a really good book. I personally feel that this book can be read together with (Stealing Fire) (A Brief History of Humanity) (A Brief History of the Future) and (What Technology Wants).

Yongsheng Hospital reminds me of the definition of human beings, but the knowledge I have learned now does not have an accurate answer. I think that using data intelligently can solve all problems. But in addition to rational thinking, human beings also have perceptual emotions and love issues. I think the first three stories in this book are the most exciting. Of course, there are also stories in the back. Finally, it also explains the strengths and weaknesses of current artificial intelligence, and is full of optimism for the future.
