Chapter 894 -894: Chinese Room 2
“Each team will be split into two groups: one will ask questions outside the door, and the other will answer inside.
Please note, each answer comes with four distracting options and the real answer, making five options in total.
Once the player inside answers, the answer will be displayed on the door, and the players outside must determine which door their teammate is behind. If they choose correctly, both indoor and outdoor players pass. However, if they select a false answer, both the indoor and outdoor players are immediately eliminated.”
The Clown raised a hand and snapped his fingers, and behind him, five doors opened simultaneously, revealing empty white rooms, all identical.
“Then, both Kings, please send your subjects into the rooms.”
The Clown looked at them with a smirky smile, “No rush, you have plenty of time to decide who will answer inside and who will stay outside to ask questions.”
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo looked at each other.
Being only two, one would surely go inside and one would stay outside. Hans’s team, on the other hand, had to choose four people to go inside.
“The theme of this game is the Chinese Room,” Bai Youwei said.
“Right,” Shen Mo nodded, “One of the ten paradoxes. The Inspector chose this theme for a reason.”
He looked towards the five doors and slowly said, “The so-called distracting options must refer to artificial intelligence, right?”
The Chinese Room was initially proposed by American philosopher John Searle. The experiment assumes an English-speaking person inside a sealed room who has a manual for translating Chinese. The room is equipped with sufficient paper and pens. Then, papers written in Chinese are passed into the room through a small window, and the person inside uses the book to translate and respond in Chinese. Although he doesn’t understand Chinese, he can make anyone outside believe he speaks Chinese.
This thought experiment argues against the idea that artificial intelligence can truly think, suggesting computers can’t genuinely comprehend information but can seemingly process certain programs to create an intelligent impression.
Hans’s team, obviously aware of this famous experiment, discussed quietly for a moment before asking the Inspector, “What specific aspects will the distracting options interfere with?”
“Well…” The Clown lazily moved over, “They will mimic you as much as possible and learn your manner of speaking.”
“Will they read our brains?” Hans asked carefully, “…like, the memory part?”
Bai Youwei couldn’t help but glance at him; it was a good strategy to break the game, as artificial intelligence can’t mimic something it can’t access.
For instance, she could ask Shen Mo where their first kiss took place.
Such a question, artificial intelligence surely couldn’t answer.
“Of course not~” The Clown explained with a full-beamed smile, “They will only analyze and learn from what you express outwardly. As for what you’re thinking, they don’t know that~”
“But…”
The Clown’s tone suddenly turned, his mouth twisting into a bigger smile, stretching to a disturbing extent.

“In the room, the order of answering is randomized each time, so, if you ask the wrong person… that would be truly unfortunate.”
Bai Youwei frowned; if that was the case… using shared memories to form questions would be futile.
Hans then asked, “For the questioners outside, can they ask any question? Are there any restrictions?”
The Clown replied, “You can ask any question, but the input box for the answers can only accommodate 20 characters.”
Thus, trying to discern lies through lengthy discussions would also be ineffective.
Hans turned back and whispered with his teammates for a little while longer, then spoke aloud, “Inspector, we have made our selections. These four will go inside to answer.”
