Chapter 36 Generative A.I

Chapter 36 Generative A.I

Despite having nothing to do with the kitchen anymore since Fadila had taken control, He still remained; it was the way he was trained. It was a law to remain in the kitchen so as to accompany whoever was there.

Normally he would find it strenuous, like his cousins and older brother, but he couldn't lie to himself. A lot of interesting gist always came out of it, especially if the other party was comfortable enough. Just as expected, Fadila immediately opened up as she began talking about all that happened at work.

Of course, he didn't do this only for the gist or gossip that would come from it but also to accompany Fadila since he knew that if he left, it would make it look as though he had abandoned her there, and for some reason, which didn't bode well with him.

While the two talked and laughed while judging the living hell out of those in Fadila's story, all over the world, another round of Nous Industries-related news was making the rounds. Due to the end of the thirty-day free trial, the A.I services that Nous Industries offered were put back in the limelight.

"Now it should be common knowledge that there is a company out there named Nous Industries that owns the now popular game 'Renovatio' but did you also know that they dealt with artificial intelligence? Meet Nous A.I..." A content creator started.

"Hello everyone welcome back to the gaming news, well just earlier today, everyone's favourite gaming studio or at least their parent company, Nous Industries declared the end of the free-trial to their A.I services meaning that it would now be paid for... well that doesn't truly concern us since we're too broke for that, we'll probably just create a new account to enjoy that sweet free trial but our main focus here is... Nous Industries deals in Artificial intelligence; does this mean that Renovatio, NPCs are actually A.I"

Several content creators took the news of the A.I services online as well as many news outlets who were looking for an extra story. Many viewed such news not for the fact that they cared much about the A.I services the company offered but rather because it was probably the only answer they had to whether the game's NPCs were A.I or not.

However, at the same time, several governments and companies immediately set out to find out more about the company. Artificial intelligence was a new and upcoming technology that could pose a threat to all of them if it fell into their enemy's hands and there was a company out there that seems to have mastered the technology.

While all this happened, the one behind it all could be seen simply laughing and judging people's life choices with his girlfriend as they both sat in the kitchen, doing nothing but laughing and sometimes giving each other advice. Out of the three beings in the room, only Nous, in its Omniscience, knew what was happening; however, it was none of its business.

The artificial intelligence spent this time simply calculating and extracting the taxes to be paid from the incoming profit. Millions of people all around the world used the services it offered, and many of them used them for commercial purposes, which meant that surely they would pay for them.

How its master planned to reveal his identity to his mate didn't matter to it. It had its duties, and that was all it had to do. David, on the other hand, ran through all the possible options on how to reveal the existence of Nous to Fadila without her freaking out.

Fadila may be calm and somewhat of a geek like him, but she knew clearly that artificial intelligence on par with Nous is currently not possible. Humanity simply didn't have the resources and the knowledge to create one like it.

Hell, humanity may never even be able to create a singularity considering the very purpose of artificial intelligence. Nous was way beyond a singularity; it was a cosmic being if one truly thought about it. Its omniscience may be downplayed because it is an A.I but at the end of the day, it was still omniscient.

That was an ability reserved for the higher echelons of power, and he had managed to bestow or encode said power and ability into artificial intelligence. This alone made Nous better than anything humanity will ever be able to create. Now even if he didn't tell her about Nous's omniscience, she still knew that achieving singularity was still impossible with the current technology. There was nothing he would say that she would believe, and even if she agreed with him, it would still be suspicious because it wouldn't make sense.

When did he learn such high-level programming? Where was the A.I hosted? Where did he keep its server. All these were question that he couldn't answer without revealing his identity as the Editor. He trusted Fadila as much as he trusted his mother but his identity as the Editor wasn't something he could reveal like that.

The Editor from what he had learnt so far wasn't just any being. It was a title that granted cosmic authority, a title known for its authority rather than power. Though it was thought that authority is power, but one is only with authority under certain conditions.

Telling her that he got promoted into a cosmic authority and possible cosmic being overnight wouldn't go well and he didn't plan to find out how it would go. For now, he had to find another way of revealing Nous to her since she was to be the company's CEO.

It was either that or he manned up and still reveal his true identity to her and explain everything. Even while his mind ran wide, he still maintained his usual cheerful attitude in order not to spoil the cheerful mood they had built.

That evening, David could be seen on the runway, he was sitting on a plastic chair he grabbed from the small bar-like building on the other side of the building. Fadila was sleeping inside the house, so he decided to take some time to himself to sort out his plan for the future.

"Forty-six million dollars, I didn't think it would reach that extent" David commented as he stared at the amount made from the services, Nous rendered.

[Well sir, the generative A.I business may seem slow, but it is used by a lot of people, you as an undergraduate saw its potential, surely the graduates, researchers, scientists etc, all realized how useful it is]
