Chapter 100: Chapter 80 Come Quick! (Mass release, subscribe, monthly pass) _2
The main selling point is the word "fast".
It's freaking fast!
And according to the daily reports, there are hardly any bugs.
Aside from the first version often crashing when fed data exceeding eighty percent in one go, requiring a restart, after updates, there are virtually no bugs left.
With such speed in perfecting the large language model, Li Jian Gao even started to wonder if Qiao Ze's brain was actually a supercomputer, capable of resolving problems through the perspective of a machine.
Otherwise, there's just no explaining this kind of programming efficiency.
The only issue might be that Qiao Ze dislikes using comments.
Forget about standard comments, there aren't even any hinting ones.
He specifically mentioned this to Qiao Ze last week, after all, a competent programmer needs to make good use of documentation.
But when Qiao Ze strangely responded, "But I'm not a programmer,"
Li Jian Gao gave up.
Right, the kid isn't a programmer, so why follow the rules set for programmers?
But to give credit where credit's due, Li Jian Gao had seen the raw code Qiao Ze typed out.
It was clean and refreshing, especially how the naming of variables followed its own logic.
At that point, Li Jian Gao began to feel that with code of such quality, comments were essentially irrelevant.
The ability to quickly fix bugs proved this point.
It was unlikely that they'd find themselves in a situation where only God and I know what I wrote last week, and next week only God knows.
After all, no one else was involved in designing the overall framework.
So, he didn't insist any further and let the child be.
And then, he got scared today.
At this moment, when Li Jian Gao looked at Qiao Ze, it was like he was looking at a composite of all the greats like Newton, Einstein, Riemann, Gauss, and more.
"So, Qiao Ze, you've already tested the framework to such an extent, what are you busy with now?"
"I'm writing a module. Last night, I learned some music theory and want to try and let our system create suitable background music under the guidance of the emotion module and play it at the right moment. I was thinking of just creating a music library to complete this feature, but I checked, and the royalties seem quite expensive,"
Qiao Ze explained casually.
Li Jian Gao was again a bit confused.
It meant adding a music module that would play BGM at the right moment. Since buying existing ones was too expensive due to copyright, it would be best if the system could create its own. That way, there'd be no copyright issues.
Well, how should I put it?
Given the current computational power, the machines couldn't deal with tasks like drawing or drafting, so they started with music?
It sounds nice, but Li Jian Gao was very skeptical about Qiao Ze's emotional intelligence, wondering if such a god-like emotion module could accurately grasp the customers' emotions. But, well, Li Jian Gao felt he wasn't really in a position to discuss this.
This was already beyond his knowledge.
Don't even mention machines composing music and arranging it; even the natural language model he was currently using was beyond his understanding.
He hadn't been interfering much to begin with, and now he was completely disinclined to manage whatever Qiao Ze was up to.
Only after hesitating for a moment did he offer a suggestion, "Qiao Ze, how about I talk to Dean Xu and ask him to conduct a Turing test?"
Li Jian Gao was indeed a straightforward person.
He had promised Xu Dajiang that he would notify him immediately as soon as the project yielded results. Before, when Li Jian Gao was unaware, it didn't matter, but now that he knew about the remarkable outcomes, it would weigh on his conscience not to inform him.
After all, Xu Dajiang had indeed been quite kind to him and Qiao Ze.
If it weren't for Su Mucheng directly taking two million yuan, they might have had to rely on Dean Xu's one million yuan grant from President Zheng to kickstart the project.
As a dean, going all out to help, no matter what his motives, was beyond reproach; Li Jian Gao naturally couldn't treat his words as hot air.
"It's all good," Qiao Ze answered without even lifting his head.
It wasn't a lack of respect; this was just how he worked, and Li Jian Gao had long grown accustomed to it, even thinking it was normal.
Indeed, without realizing it, Li Jian Gao had begun to let go of his original intentions, like wanting Qiao Ze to experience a complete and wonderful university life like a normal student... because that was truly unlikely.
Mainly because Qiao Ze's happiness was built on the suffering of many others.
Li Jian Gao was thinking of many things, but his actions were swift.
After Qiao Ze agreed, he had already taken out his cellphone and directly dialed Xu Dajiang.
Shortly after, the warm and enthusiastic voice of Xu Dajiang came from the earpiece: "Hello, Jian Gao, what's up?"
Since Qiao Ze had come to Xilin University of Technology, Li Jian Gao had discovered that Xu Dajiang was indeed a very amiable elder.
"Hmm, there is something. Didn't you say you wanted to be notified immediately if Qiao Ze's project showed any results? Well, I'm currently in the laboratory of Qiao Ze's research group, just tried it out, and we've already achieved some results. So, I'd like you to come over and help with a test. Consider it experiencing the latest progress of Qiao Ze's project firsthand."
"Ah? There are results already? I remember Qiao Ze telling me that your project was about developing a new structure framework similar to ChatGPT, not some other topic?" the voice from the receiver responded with surprise.
"Hmm...we didn't change the topic, but... Well, it's not clear over the phone, you'll know once you try it personally after you come over," Li Jian Gao affirmed.
He truly couldn't explain to Xu Dajiang, because even he hadn't fully figured it out yet.
"Oh, I see... Send me the exact address on WeChat, and I should be able to get back to the university in about half an hour," Xu Dajiang said.
"It's over by the South Court Residential Area. Just send a message when you arrive, and I'll come to the entrance to meet you."
"All right then, I'll hang up first."
...
"Turn around up ahead, back to the university, and make it quick," said Xu Dajiang, who was sitting in the car and had just loosened one button of his collar.
Originally, he was supposed to attend a collaboration meeting for deans and department heads of the mathematics departments at provincial universities today. As a dean, he really wasn't as idle as Qiao Ze thought.
However, this cryptic call from Li Jian Gao had suddenly made him lose all interest in the meeting.
After all, it wasn't that important of a meeting.
A quick call to explain his absence should suffice.
Plus, being the vice president of the provincial mathematics society, Xu Dajiang could easily take a leave of absence without anyone fussing over it.
To him, those ceremonious activities really didn't matter much. What was truly important to him was to build up the School of Mathematics at Xilin University of Technology, to ensure it achieved at least an A rating, and to have the confidence to stand on equal footing with other key schools, such as the School of Mechanical Engineering, School of Computer Science, and so on.
With financial support, they could foster more projects, attract more talent, and advance their academic ratings. Better ratings would boost their confidence in recruiting higher-quality students. With better students, they could improve their ratings further and obtain even more financial support...
As long as they were in a virtuous cycle, the School of Mathematics could become a rising key school under his leadership. Even if he didn't make it to the level of president and retired as a vice dean, at least he could speak with authority in Xilin University of Technology's territory and no one would dare to contradict him.
He was no longer chasing academic progress; this was the real deal, everything else was nonsense.
Just like that, in less than twenty minutes, Xu Dajiang arrived at the family quarter's entrance of the university and saw Li Jian Gao already waiting for him.
As soon as he got out of the car, Xu Dajiang said with a serious face, "Jian Gao, you weren't joking with me, right?"
"Heh... Dean Xu, am I the kind of person who doesn't know the severity of a situation? Well...I really don't know how to explain it. Anyway, you'll understand after you take the test upstairs," Li Jian Gao said.
"Test? What test?"
"The Turing Test."
"The Turing Test?"
