Chapter 6 AI Star

Ethan tapped the power button; it wasn't powered on, then he tapped it three times. 

Instantly the whole screen lit up, and a huge S logo appeared on the screen; following that, the language option appeared.

Ethan selected his primary language,

"Hi, I am your AI assistant." 

"Please cooperate so I can help you with setting up your phone, or you can deny my existence and setup your Star phone manually."

Instantly, a notification popped up on the screen with a lot of flickering stars sending starry waves through the whole screen all the way back.

Ethan even felt the star waves expand out through the edges of the phone. 

"So this is a 360° 3D pure view."

He muttered, and then he flipped the phone, looking at the back side, a Star and 20 logo flickering on the back side.

"You will be called Star," he named the AI calmly.

"Thank you for naming me; please choose usage mode." Star replied professionally, and three options appeared on the screen:

Individual, Family, Organization

"Individual," Ethan replied calmly.

"Please cooperate with me next; kindly put your identity documents on the screen for identity information scanning, or you can skip the identity scanning; just tell me your name and DOB." Star then requested politely,

"Skip the identification process; I haven't received my documents yet; my name is Ethan, and my DOB is 26-06-2008, today sixteen years old." Ethan told the information manually to skip the scanning process.

"Thank you; please tell me your favorites so I can set up your phone based on them." Star then further asked more questions.

Ethan nodded and replied one by one. Finally, taking a selfie, the interface appeared.

Ethan glanced at the interface, looking at the built-in apps. Almost all apps are similar to the ones in the S10 model, but these apps are ten years ahead.

"Can't connect to the ready-7 network,"

"Ready 5 network detected. Do you want to connect to the network? Please keep in mind that using a low-level network will compromise speed with more costly tariffs." 

Star instantly appeared on the screen in the shape of a blue round shining star and spoke, emitting waves.

'So it can connect to the network, but the latest Ready 5 network now is slow in its description?' Ethan thought to himself in surprise,

"Connect to the 5G... I mean, ready 5 network," Ethan said calmly.

"Please scan the identification documents for connection request." 

Star replied a rectangular area appeared on the screen, requesting him to put his card in this area.

Instantly, Ethan realized something, and he patted his forehead. 

'Why am I acting so carelessly? If I let this phone connect to the network, it may directly connect with the Star Company server and send data related to the phone along with my identity. I may fall into huge trouble because of this technology from an unknown source.'

Ethan thought and then glanced at the phone in his hand and said, "Skip the connection for now."

"Also, tell me what you will do after connecting to the network—will you connect to the Star Company server and database? Send them reports regarding your software, hardware, and also user information." 

Ethan asked thoughtfully,

Instantly Star started flickering on the smartphone screen again and answered politely,

"I am created by you; my sole purpose is to serve you and assist you in everything. There is no star company in my database, no server links, and I can't do anything without your permission. I am AI based on unique algorithms and core codes. I can't even access my own core codes and unique algorithms without your permission."

Ethan was surprised hearing the star's answer and a hint of assurance in it's conversation.

'This AI is really intelligent; it just assured me in its answer, but it is saying I created it; probably it's because of the synthesis cheat I have; it seems I don't have to worry about any intelligent technology like AI betraying me in the future.' Ethan thought to himself and then asked thoughtfully,

"Can you somehow connect to the network concealingly without needing any identification?" Ethan asked calmly.

"Do you want me to break the cyber law? I can do it if you allow me to," Star replied while emitting flickering waves on the screen.

"Okay, connect to the network, then search for the latest news and summarize the information about this planet and its history briefly, just the main events and important points."

"Please wait." Instantly the star replied, and then it flickered.

The memo app opened on the screen, and the title of the news with the written latest news appeared below along with images, videos, and links.

Another page of the note popped up, and after a while a few pages of article were written instantly, text with titles of the year and main summarized points. 

Also, images, videos, and information links were given about world history and important historical events.

'It's really convenient; if I wanted to find all that information, it would take me a few days at least; now everything is summarized in an article.' 

Ethan thought to himself and started reading the article first in order to gain information about this world's history, important events, and differences from the previous world. 

'So this whole world ruling system is opposite to the previous world; the countries are running on dictatorship systems,'

Eastern, Northern, Western, and Southern empires are the four largest empires, dividing the world into four parts. 

Also, there are more than three hundred kingdoms and countries in this world, and this planet's area of radius is 20,000 kilometers with a population of 15 billion. 

"The population is almost twice and the area is more than three times larger than previous earth; it's interesting." 

Ethan thought to himself, after reading the whole articles about this planet's history and important points, 

"The history of the Aqua planet is completely different from previous planet Earth because of its geographical features, but the human species here are also extremely lazy; that's why the technology direction is almost similar to earth's civilization with a minor difference." 

Ethan muttered intriguingly, reading the whole summarized history information, and then he closed the article and opened the news.
