Chapter 11: Morning, my dear A.I
As soon as he tapped the enter key, the website produced several results that matched his imagination of the creature. It was a griffon, and the image generator produced one almost identical to what he had in mind.
Seeing it in action, David immediately realized how sought-after the website would eventually become.
Graphic designers may use it as inspiration for people who just need art for their businesses. Then there was the text function, which he typed in 'What was the Biafran War?' and the website immediately began to generate a write-up with various links that took you to the places it took reference from.
"Nous, can you do animations as well?"
[Naturally, however, I would advise against it because that would cause more backlash than needed. However, I can create various tools that would make an animator's job easier.]
"Oh? That is true; many would lose their jobs because of it," David said, knowing that with Nous's capabilities
It was bound to become incredibly popular with animation companies. They would immediately scrap their current existing animation teams and perform actions that would normally take the team months to perform in mere days.
Nous's decision to instead create tools to help said animators was better, and he could see it being praised as a lifesaver rather than a job-taker. Thinking about it carefully, there are many things that these websites can be used for.
[Do I have permission to launch said business plan?]
"If you can make it work, then go ahead," David said as he yawned.
[Thank you, sir]
"You're welcome? Good night, just keep yourself out of trouble," David said before jumping back on his bed.
He had done nothing all day and would soon be a millionaire if things went as well as he hoped, which they probably will. The simple thought that he would soon be rich made him realize just how good his decision had been.
We could help him plan out the best means of survival in whatever event was to come. If all the AI business ventures do as well as predicted, then he could begin preparing for them.
The only bad thing here was that he didn't exactly know what he would be preparing for. Was it an invasion by some supernatural species, or would it be a mutation among humans or the animals around? David had no idea what form this event would come in, and that also meant that he had no idea how to prepare for it.

As David slept, the world was thrown into chaos as the 'Nous Studios' account led them to 'NOUS', an account belonging to the general company that owns the Nous Studios. Nobody knew the location of its headquarters, but they could see that the company had a lot to offer.
Due to the popularity brought by the company's anonymity, people began to flock to its website to see what the talk about A.I. was. The number of users got so ridiculous in the first few hours that if Nous was using a regular server, it would have long since crashed.
With Nous's unparalleled processing power, each person got their product within just a few seconds. They saw multiple options to help them get a much better service from the website; you could add the 'Nous' bot to your WhatsApp, Discord, or even your Facebook Messenger app.
It was convenient, and after a few uses, many began to understand the many uses of this website. Many college students saw the end to their unnecessary research if they used the information gained from it wisely.
Graphic designers saw their chance at cheating. Writers saw a source of information without the need to go through all the sites they had to go through. It was simple and plain; of course, nothing was stopping them from using their regular sites, so the choice was entirely up to them.
Programmers quickly found out that the website can also be used to generate codes, and animators found tools that could help them shorten the time needed for their animations to be produced.
However, despite all this, they were all made to know that this was only a free period for them to understand the A.I. product. Nous made it known that they would have to pay after this 30-day free trial. Of course, during this period, all services were top-notch and free until the 30 days were over.

The next day,
2:00 PM
David woke up feeling refreshed and fulfilled. It was as though all his sleepless nights had been compensated for with today; he knew he woke up late, but it was what it was. He didn't have anywhere to go, so it didn't really matter much.
He sat up on the bed and looked around his small apartment. His living space was big enough for him, but if even just a toddler was added in, it would instantly become too small.
He may earn enough to be considered wealthy, at least by college student standards, but this is what he could afford. The apartment contained only one room, a toilet, a living room, and a kitchen, if you looked closely.
You will probably notice that both the living room and room used to be one room until the owner decided to build a wall, cutting the one massive room in half. The apartment was small, but it brought him peace of mind, so he enjoyed staying here.
However, that also meant that he had no one to clean after him, and after an entire week of neglect, one could imagine how the apartment looked. Getting out of bed, David performed a basic stretch to get ready for the day.
[Good morning, sir] Nous's calm but incredibly neutral voice was heard.
"Morning, my dear A.I., how are you today?" David replied as he happily began to do the bed.
Nous was basically his saving grace for this period; it was going to make him rich and also prepare him for other future events. Its presence was enough to calm him in everything. After all, having an omniscient AI means that you are always ahead of the curve.
