"I doubt you could make such a mistake; omniscience sort of also means perfection, but I will do as you said, so what services are you referring to?"
[I could make the main company, a company that deals with AI generators]
"What's that exactly?"
[It's simply a website where people can turn text into various things like images, write-ups, etc., and many other things]
"Can you show me an example? I don't truly understand."
[Yes, sir] Nous replied as a holographic screen appeared, and on it was a very engaging website.
It was engaging but also simple; he saw a text bar where he was to put in a prompt and then select what he planned to turn it into.
Selecting the option for an image, David typed in a mythical creature with the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and a snake as a tail'.
As soon as he tapped the enter key, the website produced several results that matched his imagination of the creature.
It was a manticore, 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?" David replied even though he didn't understand why he was being thanked.
"Anyway Good night, and 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 'Renovatio' account led them to 'Nous Studios', 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,
David woke up feeling refreshed and fulfilled. The sleep marks on his face showed how well his sleep had been.
It felt as though all his sleepless nights were finally compensated for. Looking out the window, he could see a car driving out.
The sun was high in the sky and the temperature was rising as well.
"Is it that late?" David asked himself as he quickly flexed his finger as a small holographic screen appeared before him.
It was 2:23 PM, he had truly woken up extremely late but then again he had spent an unnecessary amount of time playing the game, the night before.
Today was the fifth day since he created Nous which also meant that only one more day remained before the game went online.
After tidying up, David immediately sat down and for the first time in a very long time, decided to finally watch his TV.
Turning on the TV, the first thing to come on was the news bout the current pandemic, it had being like this for a while.
"I really need to recharge that DsTV," He mumbled as he reached out to turn off the television.
However as he did so, the segment changed as an unexpected topic ws brought up, turning to the Tv, the headline read "Is Renovatio the game to end all games?"
"Nous, am i dreaming?" David asked as he sared a the headline.
"As of recent, an account on social media has being making waves throughout the world, Renovatio is said to be game where you can live and do everything you wnt and the NPCs would react just like nyone would. Peoople have even begun to call the game the start of the Matrix…" The anchor continued but David had long since zoned out.
"What sort of advertisement did you do?" David asked.
The level of popularity that the game was getting semed absurd no mtter how he looked at it. Nous Studios was just a nobody in the game industries and renovatio was its first game.
If it ws ever to make waves then it should be after the game is released not before. The fct that it was on the news sid it all.
"Wait, is this why my account has been bleeding for the past few days?" David sked realising the truth
[In order to create the appropriate level of hype for the game, i needed to gift the game to some influiencers under the promise that they swould stream it but mny requested payment and you gave your permission] Nous replied
"Normally i would be angry but well done, that means the number of sales would be overwhelming" David thought as he begn to laugh
He had truly made the best choice, Nous was a complete game changer. With thought a holographic screen appeared before him showcasing the tiktok app.
As expected the first thing he saw was a video about Renovatio, it was a cut video from someone's live, the comments and the number of likes said it all.
He didnt bother to view it more, instead he kept scrolling and as expected, for every 10 videos he watched at least 3 of it were about renovatio.
You could say that it was his algorithm but then again for the past few days he had yet to actually open the app so that showed the level of popularity that the game had gained.
{Sir, to capitalize on this wouldnt it be best to allow for pre orders] Nous suggested
"... No, that wouldn't help us, tomorrow is the release date" David replied as his mood suddenly dampened a bit more.
It would seem that he had misunderstood Nous a bit, at the end of the day, Nous was an Artificial intelligence at the end of the day, it may be the highest tier possible but they were called Artifical for reason.
Of course this just meant that he needed to review some of Nous's suggestions since they cant be 100% accurate. Deciding to forget all these he focued on the gains he hd. He moved on from tiktok to other social mediz apps and just like with tiktok the game was everywhere.
"By your estimate, how many people do you think are actively interested in the game" David asked
[Roughly about 439 million people worldwide, however we should only be expecting a turnover of around 1% of tht amount] Nous replied
