Bounded Rationality

Shen Zhiwei, a doctoral student in the Department of Philosophy at T University, has spent his life studying "why people are irrational." She used reason as armor, sealing the pain of her parents' divorce at the age of twelve and the regret of breaking up with her first love when she said "you always like to analyze everything", all in the fortress built by logic. She is determined that all emotions can be dismantled and interpreted, and will never let herself fall into the quagmire of sensibility. Cheng Yue, CTO of an AI startup company, is a rational madman who believes in the supremacy of technology. The emotional computing module he built could accurately capture every emotional change, but it couldn't understand the coldness and alienation in Shen Zhiwei's eyes. His original intention to immerse himself in research and development was hidden in his mind that no one knew - he just wanted to understand why people always make irrational choices. The first encounter was a head-to-head confrontation. He bluntly said: "Ethical review is nothing but a shackle that hinders the advancement of technology." She responded calmly: "Technology that loses ethical constraints is the real abyss." A helpless cooperation brings two extremely rational people to face each other day and night. She thinks he is cold and rigid, and only recognizes cold data; he thinks she is gentle but distant, always making simple things complicated. Until Shen Zhiwei looked through the algorithm document, she suddenly discovered that Cheng Yue had deliberately left a "non-optimized" interface to allow the AI ​​to make irrational judgments at specific moments. This secret setting fit perfectly with the "bounded rationality" in her paper. Two people who used reason to isolate their sincerity began an uncontrollable heartbeat. Carrying the scars of their original family and wary of close relationships, they clumsily test, quarrel and cold war, but can't help but relent and reconcile. When gentle philosophy meets hard-core AI, when calmness and reason meet pounding hearts, they finally understand that love has never the best solution, and it is the only proposition that allows them to willingly let down their guard and lose control. Concept: the concept of the work Reason and emotion are not antagonistic, but symbiotic. Through the collision of philosophical speculation and artificial intelligence, the essence of "bounded rationality" is dismantled - human judgment is always limited by information, cognition and time, and the so-called perfect decision-making is nothing but an illusion. The two protagonists are wrapped in reason and use logic to defend intimacy, but they gradually lose control in front of each other. Their confrontation and closeness revealed a truth: human hearts cannot be completely quantified, and algorithms cannot exhaust human nature. In the end, they broke their obsession with the "optimal solution" - love is not a problem that needs to be solved, but a process that needs to be experienced. Acknowledging imperfection and accepting uncertainty is the ultimate path to reconciliation between people and technology, self and others. Reason protects survival, and love gives life warmth.
