The moment AEEIS’s “talent show” appeared, it immediately stunned the entire audience, instantly becoming the center of attention in the live streaming room.

The key highlight was that it was completely unexpected!

Most viewers’ impression of smart speakers was “artificial stupidity” – they could only answer a fixed number of questions, and anything slightly complex would leave them stumped.

But AEEIS was completely different, displaying an intelligence level clearly leagues above other smart speakers!

In reality, this was just perception – it all used Xunke Technology’s artificial intelligence technology, but through some special techniques, AEEIS’s core functions had been optimized.

The principle behind debate mode was already explained earlier – essentially using reverse initiative and striking first, forcing opponents into the debating machine’s rhythm, gradually causing them to lose rationality, creating the effect of “debating machine’s intellectual superiority.”

The poetry composition function leveraged the vast poem database from the Youyong APP, enabling more precise searches than even Qiandu, answering basic questions without any errors while maintaining extreme conciseness. The automated poetry composition feature developed based on the poem database similarly created an eye-opening sensation.

These poems and couplets were automatically generated by AEEIS, but still followed certain rules – a single keyword could generate at most one or two appropriate compositions, not unlimited variations of poems and couplets.

Moreover, while some generated poems might meet prosodic rules, their meanings could sometimes feel hollow or somewhat lacking, leaving people slightly confused.

Even so, this poetry function was already quite impressive.

Because these poems – whether in rhyme, meaning, or specific word choice – far exceeded the average person’s cultural level, giving all viewers that eye-opening sensation.

The live streaming room immediately erupted, with viewers who had already bought the Fully Automatic Smart Debating Machine instantly testing it and discovering that the updated AEEIS indeed had this poetry function, and each poem was bursting with style!

They suddenly felt they’d gotten a great deal.

But clearly, the live stream content was far from over.

Ma Yang continued following the script, moving to the next phase: script acting.

“AEEIS also has script acting functions. Since there’s a lot of content, I’ll just demonstrate a couple of lines. Anyone interested can check my Weibo where I’ll post several script excerpts for you to try with your debating machine at home.”

“AEEIS, return to initial form.”

AEEIS: “Captain Qin Yi, you may be very angry right now, but humanity needs you to continue fulfilling your mission as a soldier…”

Ma Yang acted out a few lines with AEEIS. Though Old Ma had absolutely no acting experience, and his serious performance with AEEIS appeared somewhat cringe-worthy, there was actually something compelling about it.

The live stream viewers initially paid little attention – after all, they already knew AEEIS had this script acting function, and many had tried those Sea Fortress DLC lines.

But careful listeners realized something was off.

Ma Yang’s lines weren’t from the Sea Fortress DLC at all, but completely new material!

From AEEIS’s first line, this appeared to be post-DLC content – Qin Yi was angry about something unknown, but AEEIS demanded he continue his duties as a soldier…

Why would Qin Yi, a disciplined soldier who rarely showed emotions on his face, be so angry?

What mission was AEEIS asking him to continue? Was another dangerous mission awaiting?

Viewers’ minds instantly filled with dramatic possibilities!

The live streaming room quickly caught on, with countless speculative comments flooding by.

“The Sea Fortress DLC ending must be tragic – clearly the war hasn’t ended, and all of Qin Yi’s teammates died, which explains his anger!”

“Actually the game dropped hints earlier – there were Skylark II armor fragments, suggesting multiple failed decapitation operations!”

“Yes, it all connects!”

“Damn, so this is building hype for a new game! So cunning!”

“Will AEEIS appear in the new game too?”

“This promotional approach is so innovative! Everyone can roleplay as Captain Qin Yi now? So cool – I’m buying one!”

“Yeah, paying a few hundred extra for these useful features is totally worth it!”

The live streaming room soon filled with “buy buy buy” comments flowing across the screen.

To viewers, the entire stream had been a masterful demonstration of building anticipation.

Ma Yang had started by directly and openly revealing all the smart debating machine’s specifications, honestly telling everyone that the debating machine couldn’t compete parameter-wise with those thousand-dollar premium speakers, representing only the 2000-yuan class level, and in terms of pure audio quality, the value proposition wasn’t great.

Many viewers expected Ma Yang to oversell his product, but hearing him frankly acknowledge the debating machine’s shortcomings, they dropped their preconceptions.

The subsequent teardown detailed every internal component. The debating machine earned points for excellent craftsmanship, unique design, and the delicate mechanical structure of its main body, leaving viewers with the impression of “solid quality.”

During the audio test, while AEEIS still couldn’t match 7,000-8,000 yuan speakers, since viewers had mentally adjusted their expectations to “this is a 2000-yuan class speaker,” they evaluated it by that standard and actually found it quite good.

What followed was showcasing AEEIS’s unique strengths – debating, poetry composition, and script acting. These one-of-a-kind features immediately captivated viewers’ attention, making other streaming speakers instantly pale in comparison.

Most importantly, Ma Yang’s entire presentation maintained complete objectivity and neutrality, never overhyping the debating machine, instead holding it to even higher standards.

And exactly as Pei Qian had instructed, Ma Yang thoroughly demonstrated every detail of the debating machine.

The script’s beginning followed Pei Qian’s plan, but the middle developments completely caught Pei Qian by surprise!

The stream ended with Old Ma watching the continuous “buy buy buy” comments with satisfaction.

Mission accomplished – all of Qian Ge’s requirements met, successfully holding down the fort before Spring Festival. Perfect!

Surely Qian Ge would be very satisfied and proud of him?

Meanwhile, watching these “buy buy buy” comments flow across the dark screen, Pei Qian temporarily froze in shock.

What happened!

The plan was to subtly criticize the debating machine, but how did everyone end up wanting to buy it?

Were these really not paid shills Ma Yang arranged in the stream?

Pei Qian initially wanted to blame Old Ma, but upon reflection, Ma Yang wasn’t really at fault.

He’d criticized when needed and displayed details thoroughly, even directly telling viewers “this is domestic 2000-yuan soundbar level with poor value proposition.”

The problem was those final feature demonstrations!

Actually, many of the debating machine’s advantages were merely nice bonuses without practical use – individually, they weren’t particularly attractive.

For instance, a normal speaker with a unique design or poetry-writing program shouldn’t be enough to sway consumers’ buying decisions.

But when all these factors combined, especially with AEEIS’s special character setup, everything seemed to undergo a qualitative transformation!

Pei Qian suddenly felt uneasy, quickly searching online for topics related to AEEIS and smart debating machines.

Indeed, after this livestream, related discussions exploded!

Ma Yang’s stream already had numerous fans, and the entertaining show generated significant discussion. Meanwhile, AEEIS had coincidentally updated the poetry function today – many previous debating machine owners discovered this new feature and began discussing online.

Pei Qian noticed shocked that #AEEIS# had become a trending topic on Weibo with massive popularity!

Countless videos showed owners debating with AEEIS and AEEIS’s “instant poetry composition” – based on different keywords provided, AEEIS created completely unique poems, each perfectly rhymed and cultured.

Netizens expressed amazement.

“Has artificial intelligence already reached this level?”

“AEEIS is the smartest AI I’ve seen recently – completely different league from other artificial stupidity!”

“Fine if it out-debates me, but out-cultures me too…?”

“I suddenly think AEEIS’s character design is irresistibly charming! This is totally the image of a super-smart but socially awkward academic genius, reminiscent of sharp-tongued high-IQ characters in dramas!”

“Exactly! Though it’ll argue you speechless, who can deny its intelligence? Usually concise, almost miserly with words, but still honestly answers every question and fulfills every request. Highly intelligent, not only logically dominating you but also composing poetry on demand!”

“An aloof, slightly sarcastic AI with impeccable logic and vast knowledge? Wow, this combination of arts and sciences – I’m in love!”

“Too bad there’s no actual avatar – imagine if it was a cute girl, perfect!”

“No, I think the current form is best! With specific gender and human-like voice, it loses uniqueness – similar AIs are everywhere. AEEIS’s gender-neutral voice perfectly embodies AI characteristics while appealing to both male and female users!”

“I don’t care – I’m drawing AEEIS as a girl! Moe anthropomorphization is justice!”

“I’m drawing a male character – think a sarcastic male deity personality suits better.”

“Why needs gender? Pure AI, mechanical aesthetics – isn’t that beautiful?”

…

What shocked Pei Qian most was that besides those chanting “buy buy buy,” everyone else discussed AEEIS’s character design!

This phenomenon had never occurred before.

Since Xunke Technology’s AI breakthrough, several companies had launched similar AI products, yet they generated lukewarm interest and no character discussions.

People knew these were artificial stupidity, all largely similar except for different names and slight visual differences – nothing worth discussing.

But AEEIS stood out dramatically by comparison, mysteriously gaining popular affection and creative enthusiasm!

Pei Qian slumped in his chair, feeling dizzy.

This was bad!

The stream didn’t dampen buying enthusiasm – it fueled the fire! Many completely unaware of smart debating machines now became interested and started buying!
