Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 839: AEEIS’ Persona Is Too Attractive!

AEEIS ‘talent show’ instantly shocked everyone and became the focus of the entire live-stream once it was released.

The main point was that it was unexpected!

Most audiences’ impression of smart speakers was that they were ‘artificial retards’. They could only answer a few fixed questions. If the questions were slightly more complicated, they would not know how to answer.

However, AEEIS was completely different. It displayed a level of intelligence that was completely higher than other smart speakers!

Actually, this was just a feeling. They were using the artificial intelligence technology of Xunke Technologies. They had only optimized the core functions of AEEIS through special techniques.

The principle of the Bickering Mode had been introduced previously. It mainly relied on the counter-attack and pre-emptive strike to make the other party enter the rhythm of the Bickering Mode and gradually lose their rationality. This would result in a “Bickering Mode IQ Suppression” effect.

On the other hand, the poetry function was to make use of a poetry library based on Useful application. It could successfully obtain more accurate information than Qiandu. There would not be any slip-ups when answering basic questions, and it was very simple. On the other hand, the automatic action poetry function developed based on the poetry library would also give people a bright look.

These poems and couplets were automatically generated by AEEIS, but they also had certain rules. A key word could only produce one or two more suitable poems. It was impossible to create poems and couplets without restrictions.

What’s more, some poems might seem to be legit, but the meaning might be hollow or lacking, making people feel like they were clueless.

Even so, this poem function was already amazing enough.

That was because these poems were far better than what ordinary people could come up with in terms of culture, be it in terms of rhythm, meaning, or specific words. Therefore, the audience’s eyes lit up.

As a result, the live-stream was in an uproar. Those who had already bought the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine immediately tried it out. They found that the updated version of AEEIS indeed had the ability to compose poems. What’s more, every poem was done pretty well!

They suddenly felt like they had profited.

However, the live-stream was obviously not over yet.

Ma Yang continued to follow the script and entered the next stage: exchanging lines.

“AEEIS also has a function to exchange lines. I’ll only show one or two simple demonstrations since there is a lot of content. If everyone is interested, I will post a few lines on Weibo. Everyone, try it out with your bickering machine.”

“AEEIS, return to the initial image.”

AEEIS: “Captain Qin Yi, you might be very angry now, but humans need you to continue fulfilling your mission as a soldier...”

Ma Yang and AEEIS simply matched a few lines. Ma Yang did not have any foundation in reading lines, but he acted with AEEIS in a serious manner, it was quite interesting.

At first, the viewers in the live-stream did not pay much attention to it. After all, they already knew that AEEIS had the ability to do that. Many people had already tried Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content.

However, they realized that something was amiss upon closer inspection.

Boss Ma was not using the lines from Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content, they were actually new lines!

This seemed to be the plot after Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content from the first line. Qin Yi was angry for some unknown reason, but AEEIS wanted him to continue fulfilling the mission of a soldier...

As a well-trained soldier, Qin Yi was someone who did not show his emotions. Why was he so angry?

How was AEEIS supposed to continue fulfilling the mission of a soldier? Was there another dangerous mission waiting for him?

They had casually imagined a huge plot!

Someone in the live-stream quickly reacted. All sorts of speculations about the plot floated past the bullet screen comments.

“I feel that Ocean Stronghold’s downloadable content should be a tragic ending. Obviously, the war has not ended. Captain Qin Yi’s team members are all dead. That’s why Captain Qin Yi is so angry!”

“Actually, there was foreshadowing in the game previously. There was a fragment of the Skylark II Combat Uniforms, which means that the decapitation operation has been carried out many times without success.”

“That’s right, that makes sense!”

“D*mn, that means this is another prelude to the new game? That’s too sneaky!”

“Will AEEIS have scenes in the new game?”

“This publicity method is so novel! Wouldn’t everyone be able to play the role of Captain Qin Yi? It’s so interesting. I’ve decided to buy one!”

“That’s right, spending a few hundred more yuan to buy so many practical functions is too worth it!”

The live-stream was filled with ‘buy buy buy buy buy’ comments.

To the viewers, the entire live-stream was a process of suppressing one’s desires.

Boss Ma openly announced all the parameters of the smart bickering machine the moment he came up. He told everyone frankly that the bickering machine’s parameters could not be compared to the high-end sound systems that cost a few thousand yuan. It was only about the standard of similar sound systems of two thousand yuan. Moreover, the price-quality ratio of the sound system alone was not high.

Many viewers thought that Boss Ma was going to boast about his products awkwardly. However, when they heard Boss Ma point out the problem with the bickering machine, they removed their previous discrimination.

The next step was to dismantle the machine and display its internal details in detail. The Bickering Machine made an impression based on its exquisite workmanship, unique appearance, and the exquisite mechanical structure of the Bickering Machine. It gave people the impression that it was of “high quality”.

During the next segment, AEEIS might not be able to compete with the seven or eight thousand sound systems, but the audience had already expected it to be a 2000-yuan sound system. Naturally, they would evaluate it based on this standard and felt that it was not bad.

After that, it was time to focus on showing AEEIS’ specialty. The unique functions of bickering, poetry, and lines immediately attracted the attention of the audience. The other sound products in the live-stream immediately became boring and unappealing.

The most important thing was that Ma Yang’s entire proposal was objective and neutral. Not only was there no boasting about the bickering machine, but the reviews were even stricter.

What’s more, he displayed all the details of the Bickering Machine just like what Pei Qian had instructed him to do.

The beginning of the script was according to Pei Qian’s plan. However, Pei Qian had not expected the development in the middle!

The live-stream ended. Old Ma watched the screen full of ‘buy buy buy buy buy buy buy’ and exited his live-stream contentedly.

He completed all of Brother Qian’s requests and posted his final work before Chinese New Year. Perfect!

Brother Qian should be very satisfied and proud of me, right?

...

At the same time, Pei Qian fell into a daze as he watched all sorts of ‘buy buy buy buy buy’ comments fly past the black screen.

What’s going on?!

What happened to blacklisting the bickering machine? Why did everyone want to buy it?

Was it really not a development arranged by Old Ma?

Pei Qian wanted to throw the blame to Old Ma, but on further thought, Old Ma did not seem to be in the wrong.

He had criticized it and displayed the details. He even directly told the audience that ‘this is the standard of a domestic product with an echo wall of 2000 yuan. The price-quality ratio is not good’.

The downfall was the last few functions!

In fact, many of the advantages of the Bickering Machine were just icing on the cake. It had no practical use and was not attractive if singled out.

Take ordinary sound systems for example. A unique shape or a program that could produce poems would probably not be enough to influence consumers’ willingness to buy.

However, all of these factors combined together with AEEIS’ special persona seemed to have made a qualitative change to it!

Pei Qian suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly went online to search for topics related to AEEIS and the Smart Bickering Machine.

Related discussion threads did increase rapidly after this live-stream!

Ma Yang’s live-stream already had quite a number of fans, and the effect of the live-stream this time was quite good, so many people were discussing it; and AEEIS had just updated its poetry function today. Many people who had previously bought the Bickering Machine also discovered this new function and started discussing it online.

Pei Qian suddenly realized that #AEEIS# had become a hot topic on Weibo!

There were many related videos that showed the entire process of the owner arguing with AEEIS. There was also AEEIS’ “A Poem in a Second” video. AEEIS’ poems were completely different based on the keywords given by its owner. However, every single one of them rhymed. It sounded very cultured.

Netizens expressed their shock.

“Has artificial intelligence developed to this extent?”

“AEEIS is the smartest artificial intelligence I’ve seen recently. It’s completely different from other artificial retards!”

“It’s fine if you can’t out-talk it, but you can’t even compare to its culture...”

“I suddenly feel that AEEIS’ setting is too attractive! This is a super genius with a high IQ but low EQ. It reminds me of the highly intelligent characters in many television dramas!”

“Indeed, while it does make you speechless, who can deny that it is very smart? Usually, its answers are very concise, and its words are as precious as gold. However, it still answers every single question and fulfills every request of yours honestly. It is very intelligent. Not only can it completely suppress you in terms of logic, but it can also create poems according to your requirements!”

“A cold, slightly venomous-tongued, impeccable logical thinking, and talented artificial intelligence? Wow, I love this feeling of dualism!”

“It’s a pity that it does not have a concrete image. It would be perfect if it was a cute girl!”

“No, I think that this image is the most suitable! If the gender is confirmed and the speech is similar to a human’s voice, then there would be no personality. Is there a lack of similar artificial intelligence? It’s precisely because of it’s gender-neutral voice that it can better reflect the characteristics of artificial intelligence. What’s more, it’s very pleasing to both boys and girls!”

“I’m not listening. I want to create an image of AEEIS! Feminism is the way to go!”

“Then I want a male character which would suit a poisonous tongue better.”

“I don’t think it has to have a gender. Isn’t it nice to have a pure artificial intelligence and mechanical image?”

...

What shocked Pei Qian was that apart from those who were shouting ‘buy buy buy buy buy buy’, everyone else was discussing AEEIS’ character design!

This had never happened before.

That was because many companies had produced similar artificial intelligence products since the breakthrough in the artificial intelligence technology of Xunke Technologies. However, it was not very popular. No one discussed the so-called ‘character design’.

That was because everyone knew that these were artificial retards. There was not much difference between them. They just had different names and slightly different images. There was nothing to discuss.

However, AEEIS was immediately unique when compared to these artificial intelligence. For some reason, it gained the love and creativity of the audience!

Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, feeling dizzy.

This is bad!

Not only did this live-stream not extinguish everyone’s passion to buy it, it also added fuel to the fire! Previously, many people who did not know about the smart bickering machine became interested in it and began to buy it!
