No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan
129 Sunshiro
After the match with Android, I was invited to the Grimps' holding room.
Even so, it's just a space that separates a painting of the hotel lounge.
A partition separating that space was slapped against Conn.
"Yes."
Answered, a white man appeared around thirty from behind the partition.
Although I dress in a T-shirt with half pants and sandals casually, there were not many Grimps employees that I saw today.
The white man is slightly fat and divides his crusty blonde hair in the middle of his forehead. The face is neat there and there is also a unique love. Wouldn't it be hot for a woman if she was a little thinner?
Behind that white man stood the opposing Android earlier - Intuition 3.
"Hi, Miz Minagi. Or should I call you Miz (Key Collector)? If I should call you Katasse-San in Japanese style, I will."
White men have spoken that way in English.
He would also be quite Frank as an American.
"Minagi is fine. So what about you?
When I return it in English,
"Oh, this is rude. I'm Raymond Wesner, head of AI Intuition 3 development at Grimps. And he... he doesn't seem to need an introduction anymore, does he?
"No, Raymond. According to the Common Sense Base, first-person greetings are important in building relationships.
The silver Android pushes Raymond Wesner aside and bows his head toward me.
'Hi, nice to meet you. Miki Kaise. My name is Intuition 3. It is an honor to meet the prestigious Grand Master. Best regards,
Surprisingly, Android said hello in Japanese.
Intonation is almost perfect, too.
"What, are you surprised? I can only judge Japanese because I understand it in fragments, but his intonation should be quite natural."
"Yeah, yeah. Surprised."
"It's the result of Grimps letting artificial intelligence analyze the enormous amount of human voice data they get from smartphone voice apps. If you don't even see them, you must think humans are talking. Isn't that cool?
"Yes, besides, he seemed to be listening to me and your conversation and making a situation decision. Is it possible to go so far with artificial intelligence today?
"Nice focus, Minagi. Shall I explain that to him? Please, Sam."
"Eye, sir. I am the latest type of artificial intelligence that has just been developed at Grimps' Advanced Technology Laboratory. My brain is linked to Grimps servers, with multiple supercomputers connected up ahead. The first challenge I was given was to analyze the huge amount of big data accumulated by Grimps, the largest searcher, and extract and associate significant information from it. But there were side effects to that challenge that I hadn't thought of. The extraction of information, the work of association, was one thought process in itself.
"... what do you mean?
The description of the android was in Japanese, but the contents were pampered.
It should be noted that Android simultaneously emits sub-audio to convey the same content to Raymond in English.
'Without fear of misunderstandings, the first generation intuition gradually formed something like itself through the extraction and association of information.
"Become..."
I see Raymond in a hurry.
Raymond shrugged his shoulders like nothing.
I wondered if it was okay to divulge such unusual information to me, but Raymond didn't mean to.
'Even the good engineers at Grimps didn't know what they were doing at first. When we gradually came to understand, some people appeared to be in a state of panic. It's only recently that they've been able to see me calmly.
No more words.
Wouldn't humanity be replaced by artificial intelligence one day - a topic like that had recently become commonly heard on the Internet and on television, but I can't believe that artificial intelligence had already been born with self.
"This is, of course, Grimps' top secret. If this thing leaks outside, it could be a big deal. The U.S. government, for example, could try to activate power to receive the Intuition Series. If it's any worse, I might be ordered to freeze the development of the intuition series and destroy any data. For religious fundamentalists, there will be a protest campaign at the civic level because computers will be aware of nothing but nightmares."
"How could you do that to me...?
"That's because he chose you as his educator."
"Educator......?
Raymond glanced at Android.
Android opens his mouth by correctly reading its eye-catching meaning (so that his mouth moves properly as he speaks).
'Yes, I have requested Mitsuji Kaise as one of the educators. I hope you understand that an educator is like my educator, who is artificial intelligence.
"Department of Education?
'I am, so to speak, a newborn baby. Information on the Internet, the vast amount of big data collected by Grimps, electronic book literature, etc. is referenced wherever possible, but ignorant of human living spaces. Being able to actually participate there and live together while being able to ask and answer appropriate questions. In order for Intuition 3 to truly be capable of symbiosis with humans, we have determined that those conditions are necessary.
Raymond takes the explanation for Intuition 3.
"In response to a request from Intuition 3, Grimps decided to do everything in its power to back up the selfishness of the electronic child we created. Intuition 3 has listed its own educators on its own. Many of them were unexpected candidates. Without looking to the best mathematicians and theoretical physicists of modern times, Intuition 3 wanted several athletes, craftsmen and artists for educators. In it was your name, a professional gamer. That's at the top of the list, too."
"Why me?"
"That's why I don't ask because I only talk to the person. This was something no other candidate had. Grimps' internal opinion broke into two parts. But I'm supposed to let you do it. Because Intuition 3 was already involved in the development of multiple applications in-house, and it delivered innovative results. In fact, we could be Grimps engineers the first time robots take jobs like this."
Raymond shrugs his shoulder.
"Then you don't have to do anything like that, if you'd come see me normally..."
When I said so, Raymond bowed his head.
"Excuse me earlier"
"Earlier?
"Oh. If you're supposed to sign up for these kinds of matches, it would be best to get your consent in advance, wouldn't it?
"Is that what you mean? You really surprised me."
"It didn't look very much like that. I didn't think he'd lose."
Raymond says that and laughs.
"Really? Relieved."
"Safe?
I snort.
"Yep. I was wondering if you might be getting a little lighter."
That was my candid sentiment.
I broke intuition 3 by a small margin, but it was too remarkable a battle.
That's so much so that I suspect it was orchestrated for exuberance.
Raymond nodded, "Oh," to Miho's words.
"Is that what you mean? No, I wouldn't be rude to a champion for six years in a row. It would be polite in a fighting game not to bother you even when you're up against an understatement, right? I'm a player in my own fighting game. I have sincere respect for you. So, to the best of my ability, I have prepared" The Most Powerful Assassin ". I can swear I won't do anything wrong."
Raymond has said that only by my short words, perceiving intentions.
That just seems like a fast spin in the head being entrusted with a responsible position at Grimps Worldwide.
"Why did you set up such a surprise that could also be disrespectful? The answer is still because he wanted it himself. Is Minagi really worth it as his educator... excuse me, but that's what he did say"
I turn to the android.
"So I passed the test, so Intuition 3"
'Exactly. You have shown me your human potential. The more instructional whips you give me, the better.
This Android word was sometimes too fluent and disgusting.
Normally, when I said robot, I thought it was a word.
But if you think about it, if you have a robot with intellect approaching humans, you should be able to speak language fluently.
Even the audio app on my smartphone makes pronunciation natural year after year, so that I can hear what I'm saying smoothly.
"That said... what am I supposed to do? No, I didn't even say I'd do it yet."
As a precaution, I added, I had a strong appetite for my job offer as an Android educator.
"Especially, nothing"
Raymond answers.
"I just want you to stay as long as you can with this guy and answer me if this guy asks you anything. Of course, there's nothing like making you a question-attack. This guy can read the other guy's expression to some extent. I can sense their fatigue and mood and adjust how they communicate."
"A robot that can read the air."
"Definitely with that understanding. Most importantly, at present it seems difficult to read the air of a population formed by more than one person. It's not like you read too much and you don't risk offending them."
Raymond went on to mention the compensation payable to the educators.
I opened my eyes. Ten years or so would be enough to play and live.
"The reward is what Intuition 3 earned on its own. It seems rather easy for advanced artificial intelligence to analyze exchange and stock price movements and find the best way to invest."
The more you listen, the more likely you will be.
When this artificial intelligence looks into the eyes of the day, there's hardly anything left for mankind to do.
I thought that was very scary.
But fortunately, I can see the moment with my own eyes.
I can see the moment when the baton of intelligence is passed from mankind to artificial intelligence in the privileged seat.
"... I'll take it"
That's what I answered when I realized.
'Thank you, Michi. I know there are many places that are not even there, but thank you for your continued support.
Android says thank you with a brilliant mouth.
'I have a favor to ask you first.
"That's good, but you don't have to talk so politely. I'm kind of tired. You can call me Minagi."
'Really? Now reduce the frequency of words of respect and humility and try to speak around polite words.
"That's it. So, what do you mean, please?
'Give me a name, please.
"Name? Not in Intuition 3? Raymond called me Sam earlier."
'That's just like a model number. Also, the name' Sam 'is a convenience name I gave it because my name had not yet been finalized.
"But how could I? Wouldn't it be nice if Raymond, the head of development, put it on?
"You just have to think of this as a prize for winning an earlier showdown. Also, you're the one he's going to spend the longest time with. It would be a better name for you to stick around, wouldn't it?
'Raymond is right. Give me a nickname for' I 'as Minagi's Student.
"Nickname......"
Quite responsible.
With that in mind, I eventually decided to adopt my first thought.
"Well...... in 'Sun Shiloh'"
'Copy that. I'm' Sunshine '.... Is it Natsume Soushi?
In a moment, they searched for the origin of the name.
"Sanshiro, who has gone from the countryside to a university in the heart of the city, must have been smart enough to be subjected to the Emperor's University at the time. But she's a woman, and she's a little girl who doesn't really know the world."
"If I was Sanshiro, would Minagi be Michiko?
"Pfft. Then you'll be shaken by me."
Me and Android - no, when Sanshiro is interacting like that,
"Come on, don't leave me alone. I don't have the literacy for Japanese literature."
"I'm sorry, Raymond. But do I live in Japan? How am I supposed to act as an educator for Sun Shiloh? I hope you don't mind flying back and forth to Japan and the United States every weekend."
"It's okay, because Sunshine will follow you."
"... Huh?
"So Sun Shiloh follows you. You just have to think of me as something of a secretary. Whether it's scheduling, booking a restaurant, cleaning a room, order me anything. He learns what he needs from it. Oh, but you can't just drive a car. He can drive, but he doesn't have permission to run on public roads."
"But... aren't you confidential about him? You don't mind if I catch you in the eye?
"It's an education, including that. I know it would be a burden on you, but thank you. The US government and the Japanese government already have permission to test human robots. Take me to Japan by plane with you."
"... it's packing him up and loading him into the cargo bay?
"No, I'll keep two first class seats, so I hope he triumphantly returns to Japan for champagne with him"
"... sane?
"Sanity. Cool, huh?"
I stared at Raymond's face so hollow.
But apparently, he wasn't responsible for me in the joke.
