After saying that, Yui turned her eyes to the distant moon outside the window. “...Now, I’ll explain about the other kind, the ‘bottom-up AI’. This is similar to your brain, mama... everyone has billions upon billions of brain cells that are all interconnected within a biological organ, and the aim is to recreate this through artificial electronic devices to create awareness.” That’s really too ambitious... a concept that’s completely absurd. Asuna could not help but mutter. “Is...Isn’t that too preposterous...?” “Ehh.” Yui immediately nodded her head in agreement. “As far as I know, the bottom-up type was a path that was discontinued before they even planned the experiment. If it is actually realised, the awareness that would actually reside within it would be different from my kind, an existence that should really be on the same level as humans like you, mama, everyone...” Yui diverted her stare back from afar, took a deep breath, and concluded. “As I said, right now, there are two rationales for the term Artificial Intelligence — AI. One of them would be like me, an NPC that is part analytical program and part character, a pseudo-AI. The other kind would be one that can develop concepts, those would have the ability to create and adapt while learning, a true Artificial Intelligence.” “Adaptability...” Asuna muttered as she parroted the word.
