摘　　要：计算机游戏的发展推动人工智能的演化,产生超越传统人工智能的软人工生命。软人工生命,是计算机程序创造并使其展现生命活力、实现生命进化的智能虚拟具身。它在当下被ChatGPT激活,集中体现在智能游戏NPC上,以强势的互动能力,超越作为其历史来源的“生命游戏”,彰显出后人类的新沟通状况。在横向沟通上,软人工生命突出展现了多元主体、偶发交互、逆向组织等后人类沟通的新样态。在纵向沟通上,软人工生命通过复制与繁殖、遗传与变异、死亡与再生等生命性状的演化,将其获得的智能提升传承下去,以实现在全世界计算机上“繁殖”多样化物种的后人类理想。当下,软人工生命在多重沟通中不断创造不亚于自然生命的生命系统,并通过游戏互动不断强化其与自然生命的连接关系,形成其与自然生命共存互促的后人类沟通新样态,从而连接游戏系统内外,建构新的后人类文明。The development of computer games promotes the evolution of artificial intelligence and gives rise to soft Artificial Life beyond traditional artificial intelligence.Soft Artificial Life is an intelligent virtual entity created by computer programs to show life vitality and realize life evolution.Activated by ChatGPT,it is now mainly reflected in NPCs in intelligent games.With strong interactive capabilities,Soft Artificial Life surpasses the“life game”as its historical source,highlighting a new communication situation for the posthuman.In terms of horizontal communication,Soft Artificial Life highlights new forms of the posthuman communication such as multiple subjects,accidental interaction,and reverse organization.In terms of vertical communication,Soft Artificial Life inherits the intelligence enhancement through the evolution of life traits such as replication,reproduction,heredity,variation,death and regeneration,so as to realize the posthuman ideal of“breeding diversified species on computers all over the world”.At present,Soft Artificial Life constantly creates a new life system in multiple communication,and constantly strengthens its connection with natural life through game interaction,forming a new way of communication between human beings and natural life,so as to connect the game system inside and outside and build a new posthuman civilization.
