"It even initiates greetings to us? This artificial intelligence is impressive!" Guo Xuerong's eyes lit up.
They've heard of artificial intelligence before. Isn't there a Siri artificial intelligence on Apple's mobile phones? But even Siri doesn't greet people.
"And me! I'm a lady too!" Qingqing protested, puffing out her cheeks and raising her small arms.
"Yes, Ms. Qingqing, I apologize for neglecting to greet you. Please accept my apologies for the oversight," Jarvis responded with a smile.
"Huh! Still asking for forgiveness? Fang Yan, the artificial intelligence you've created is quite something!" Guo Yurong exclaimed.
In their understanding, artificial intelligence might help with simple tasks like opening software or making calls, but the level of interaction and intelligence displayed by Fang Yan's invention was truly remarkable.
"Wow! You even know my name! That's amazing!" Qingqing's eyes sparkled with wonder. She ran over to the computer, excitement in her every step. "You know my name, but I don't know yours. What's your name?"
"My name is Jarvis! It's a pleasure to meet you," Jarvis replied with a smile.
"This greeting is just... incredible!" Guo Xuerong was amazed, sighing, "Fang Yan, did you really invent this? It's far more advanced than other artificial intelligences out there!"
"Absolutely!" Fang Yan beamed with pride, especially when discussing his field of expertise. "The artificial intelligences out there are nothing compared to what I've created. If mine is true artificial intelligence, then theirs is essentially artificial mental retardation!"
"Pfft!" Guo Yurong and Guo Xuerong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Alright, Jarvis, that's enough with the greetings. Can you enter this iPad and help me diagnose the issue?" Fang Yan held up the iPad in his hand.
"Your AI is going to fix the iPad too?!" Guo Yurong widened her eyes, taken aback.
"That's why I say their artificial intelligence is mentally challenged!" Fang Yan retorted, glancing at her. "Maintaining a tablet is just a basic task for artificial intelligence. There's so much more it can do!"
As he spoke, the iPad suddenly lit up and started booting up.
"Sir, I've completed the diagnostics. The main issue preventing the tablet from turning on was a severe software conflict with errors and garbled characters. I'm currently rectifying it," Jarvis' voice emerged from the iPad, startling Guo Xuerong and Guo Yurong.
"How... how did it enter the tablet?!" Guo Xuerong pointed at the iPad, her expression a mix of amazement and unease.
"Jarvis is a program, so as long as the device has sound capabilities, it can interact freely," Fang Yan explained.
"It's not as big of a deal as you're making it," Fang Yan added, noticing Guo Yurong's reaction.
"Sir, the repairs are complete! The system is currently rebooting," Jarvis' voice continued, and indeed, the iPad began to restart, now displaying its normal desktop.
"Alright, Qingqing, there you go!" Fang Yan smiled, handing the iPad back to Qingqing.
"Is it fixed? Thank you, big brother!" Qingqing thanked him with a small bow and a joyous expression.
"You're welcome! If Qingqing has any broken electronic devices in the future, bring them to Big Brother, and I'll help you fix them," Fang Yan offered, patting Qingqing's head.
"Big brother, can I play with Jarvis? It's so cute!" Qingqing pleaded.
"Sure thing!"
"Jarvis, do you mind?" Fang Yan asked.
"Sir, I have no objections. In fact, I'm honored to be chosen by Ms. Qingqing!" Jarvis replied, making Guo Xuerong and Guo Yurong even more astonished.
Guo Xuerong took out her phone, activated the recording function, and pointed it at Qingqing. "Jarvis, may I?"
"Of course, Ms. Guo Xuerong. Please feel free to proceed," Jarvis responded.
"Jarvis, can I watch TV?" Qingqing asked in her sweet voice.
"What would you like to watch?" Jarvis replied with a softer tone.
"Hmm... I want to watch... Peppa Pig!" Qingqing decided after a moment of thought.
"Alright!"
"Launching Peppa Pig for you," Jarvis responded, and the TV in Fang Yan's living room turned on automatically, navigated to the "Animation" category, and selected Peppa Pig from the options.
The entire process seemed as if guided by an invisible hand, which was astonishing.
"The 72-second commercial has been skipped for you. You can enjoy your show," Jarvis informed them.
"Okay, thanks, Jarvis!" Qingqing thanked him politely, then hurriedly went to the sofa and settled in to watch.
"This AI even skips commercials?" Guo Yurong was intrigued.
"Not only does it skip commercials, but it also provides access to premium content that usually requires payment," Fang Yan clarified.
"Well? Is the AI I created up to par?" Fang Yan asked with a proud smile.
Cracking the membership mechanism and accessing content was a fundamental ability of Jarvis. When Fang Yan created Jarvis for the first time in a parallel universe, this was already a piece of cake. Now, with the additional advancements he made, Jarvis possessed even more capabilities.
