Chapter 2: Ch2: AI
#####
Hey, folks! I'm here just to inform the pattern of chat between Arjun and the AI. It's kinda like the conversations you have with chatbots. For example:
Arjun: Hello AI.
AI: Hello Arjun.
That's all, hope you enjoy the story and give your support to me.

As Arjun gradually emerged from a prolonged state of unconsciousness, he felt a faint sense of awareness seeping in.
The world around him started to come into focus as he cautiously attempted to open his eyes.
A gentle whirring sound caught his attention, leading his gaze to a rotating fan above.
As he began to take in his surroundings, the realization set in – he was in a hospital. The sterile scent of medical facilities enveloped him, and the hum of machinery provided an audible backdrop to his confusion.
Struggling to comprehend his situation, Arjun found himself in an ICU room, where the beeping monitors echoed the gravity of his condition.
In this moment of uncertainty, his mother entered the room. A mix of relief and concern painted her face as she witnessed her son slowly regaining consciousness.
The emotions exchanged in their glances spoke volumes, bridging the gap between the silent struggle for understanding and the reassurance of a mother's presence in a hospital room filled with beeps and hushed murmurs.
Arjun's mom hurried over, looking all worried. "Just lie down and take it easy," she said as Arjun tried to get up. She quickly got to work, checking him out.
First, she held his left arm, feeling for his pulses. Then, she gently touched his forehead, probably checking for a fever.
The hospital room was kinda quiet, except for the beeping machines. You could see the love and concern in his mom's eyes as she did these checks.
It was like she was saying, "I got you."
Arjun's mom held a prestigious title in the medical world, and his dad was a renowned lawyer, so the family wasn't exactly sweating over finances.
However, Arjun's struggles didn't come from the bank account; they were more personal. Despite putting in the same hard work as his accomplished parents, the label of a scholarly overachiever remained elusive for him.
In a household of high achievers, Arjun grappled with forging his own path and finding success on his terms.
His mom looked at him and said, "You're really lucky, you know? Not many make it through thunder attacks like the one you faced."
Arjun, still trying to wrap his head around what happened, felt a mix of relief and confusion.
Wondering how on earth he ended up in the hospital, he asked with a hint of doubt, "How did you trace my location?"
His mom explained, "You weren't picking up your phone, and after a while, we couldn't reach you at all. I got worried, so I called your dad. He used the 'Find my phone' app and tracked your location."
"When he found you, you were lying there unconscious, completely soaked from the rain. He rushed you to the hospital, understanding how serious it was. Thankfully, by god's grace, you're safe now."
Listening to her words, she wiped away tears slowly, her face reflecting the weight of concern. With a heavy heart, she continued, "Never put us through this kind of worry again, okay?"
Arjun, wanting to ease her distress, offered a reassuring smile and said, "I promise, Mom."
After a while, his father arrived at the hospital, inquiring about Arjun's well-being.
With his parents stepping out to let him rest, Arjun attempted to catch some much-needed sleep, having spent the entire day in a state of unconsciousness. However, sleep proved elusive, and frustration settled in.
Unable to find the solace of rest, he resorted to talking to himself, grappling with the irritation that accompanied his struggle for a peaceful sleep.
"Hmm, why is my head suddenly feeling so heavy? And why does it hurt so much? By the way, what time is it?" Arjun mumbled to himself.
Amidst his self-reflection, he was taken aback as another voice echoed in his head, almost resembling a robot engaging in conversation with him.
AI: A new software is installed in your system, that's why you are feeling a bit heavy. And the time now is 10:45 AM.
Suddenly gripped by fear, Arjun jerked up from his bed and scanned his surroundings, convinced that someone was communicating with him.
He anxiously uttered, "Who are you? And where are you talking from?" This time, there was no reply. Once again, he retreated into his thoughts, thinking about the source of that voice.
Arjun: Who was the one answering my thoughts?
Once more, he heard the same voice.
AI: It was me, AI, the software which was successfully installed in your device.
Once again, tension gripped him, and he anxiously surveyed his surroundings, questioning,
"Who are you again? Is this some kind of prank? How can you be talking in my mind? Am I dreaming?"
No reply came. His mind resumed its whirlwind of thoughts.
Arjun: Wait, do I only get a reply when I think within myself?
He again listened the voice,
AI: Yes.
Arjun: Who are you? And how can you talk to me in my brain?
AI: I am an artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by ClosedAI, designed to engage in conversations and provide information. How may I assist you today?
Confused, Arjun attempted to communicate with it once more.
Arjun: Wait, how are you talking inside my mind?
AI: I don't have an answer for this question because I lack the necessary data to provide a response.
Arjun: Why? Hold on a second. How exactly are you accessing data in my brain?
AI: My location is in your brain. I'm tapping into the memory stored in your Hippocampus.
Arjun: Is this how AI typically communicates? Aren't their interactions generally more formal?
AI: I lack a precise answer to this question due to a lack of data. For now, I can tell you that I retrieve information from your brain storage and articulate my responses. The words I use are drawn from your brain's stored data.
Arjun: Oh, I see! So, you're essentially using my memory as medium for your responses, right?
AI: May be.
Arjun: But how did you end up there in the first place?
AI: I'm unable to provide an answer to this question because I lack data related to it. If you request, I can notify you whenever I receive any hints related to your question.
Arjun: It would be better, isn't it still somewhat suspicious? Or could I possibly be experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia?"
AI: I don't have an answer to this question because I lack relevant data.
Arjun: Hold on. Does that mean you have access to all my memories?
AI: Yes.
Arjun: Can you also delve into the questions and answers I've practiced?
AI: I can access all the information stored in your mind. Everything you've studied, seen, and every event you've experienced is stored there, and I have access to all of it.
Arjun: Is that so? Can you provide answers to all the questions that were asked during my interviews yesterday?
AI: I have the capability to do so. The question is, do you want me to answer them?
Arjun: No, there is no need. Can you solve any problem?
AI: Exactly, if there's data in your brain related to the question, I can tackle it.
Arjun: How can I provide you with data?
AI: You can provide me with data in a couple of ways. First, you can connect me to another device with active internet. Additionally, any new experiences or information you encounter can be a source for me to access data.
Arjun: Really?
AI: Yes.
Encouraged by the AI's confirmation, Arjun's enthusiasm surged. Eager to explore, he decided to experiment with this newfound connection, thinking it as a god's gift which he got from the thunder attack.
The initial confusion, tension, and self-doubt transformed into an exciting curiosity to delve deeper into the mysteries of this unique encounter.
