Chapter 4 - Ch4: Beyond the Origin

Arjun rubbed his eyes, eager to engage in a conversation with AI, eager to test its capabilities.

Arjun: Hello, AI. Did the download go smoothly?

[AI: Affirmative, Arjun. All necessary data has been successfully downloaded.]

Arjun, intrigued, couldn't contain his excitement.

Arjun: Fantastic! Let's put it to the test. Can you answer any question related to the CAT exam?

[AI: Certainly, Arjun. Ask away.]

As Arjun posed the first question, a mix of anticipation and curiosity danced in his eyes.

Arjun: Ok let's start with basics. What's the square root of 729?

[AI: The square root of 729 is 27.]

A smile crept across Arjun's face, realizing the potential at his fingertips.

Arjun: Impressive. How about a little tougher one? What's the formula for calculating the volume of a cone?

[AI: The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.]

Arjun marveled at the quick and accurate response, feeling a sense of empowerment.

Arjun: Incredible! Now, let's delve into CAT exam questions. What's the importance of SWOT analysis in strategic management?

[AI: SWOT analysis is crucial in strategic management as it helps identify an organization's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, aiding in strategic planning and decision-making.]

Arjun, immersed in the exchange, couldn't help but appreciate the AI's wealth of knowledge.

Arjun: This is amazing. It's like having a personal tutor at my fingertips. What's the historical significance of the Battle of Plassey?

[AI: The Battle of Plassey, fought in 1757, marked a turning point in Indian history as it established British East India Company's control over Bengal, laying the foundation for British colonial rule in India.]

Arjun's eyes widened with realization, struck by the historical depth of the AI's responses.

Arjun: Unbelievable! It's like having a walking encyclopedia. Thank you, AI. This changes everything.

As Arjun continued to explore the capabilities of the AI, a newfound enthusiasm and confidence blossomed within him, recognizing the potential for growth and learning in this technologically infused partnership.

Arjun, realizing the time-consuming nature of waiting for AI's responses, voiced his concern.

Arjun: If there's a theoretical problem, how can I handle it? Writing down each word and number after listening to you takes a considerable amount of time.

[AI: There are two solutions for this.]

Arjun, curious, inquired further.

Arjun: What are they?

[AI: For this, I need a book or page along with a pen to demonstrate.]

Unable to find the necessary materials within the confines of his room, Arjun decided to venture outside in search of a book and pen.

Observant staff members noticed his quest and approached him with curiosity.

One staff member inquired, "What happened, sir? Why did you come outside your room?"

Arjun, maintaining a polite demeanor, addressed the staff member directly.

"Can you provide me with a book and pen, please?" he requested.

Understanding his request, the staff member assured him, saying, "Okay, sir. I will. Please rest in your room, while I bring them to you."

After a brief interval, the staff member returned with a white book and a pen, handing them over to Arjun.

He now possessed the necessary tools to delve into the solutions presented by his artificial intelligence companion.

Arjun: Here, AI. I've got the items you requested. What do I need to do now?

[AI: Open the book and ask me any question to solve.]

As Arjun posed a question, AI responded.

[AI: I've got the solution. In the first method, check the white page.]

Arjun, examining the page, discovered answers written on it. Astonished, he questioned AI.

Arjun: What is this? Is this the solution?

[AI: If an ordinary person were to look at the page, they would see nothing but a plain white sheet. However, since I processed the answers on that white page, what you're experiencing is the image of the page with the answers printed on it. This perception is happening as your brain processing the image that I've created.]

Arjun, excited, exclaimed, 'Wow.'

Arjun: What about the other method?

[AI: For that, I need your permission to access your hand for writing the solution.]

Arjun, intrigued, agreed.

Arjun: Ok, perform it.

Arjun's hands, under AI's control, wrote the solution. The handwriting resembled a printed document, prompting him to question AI.

Arjun: It looks like a printed document. Can't you use my handwriting?

[AI: I can. Shall I use your handwriting?]

Arjun: Do it.

Seeing his own writing beautifully crafted on the page by AI, Arjun felt an overwhelming joy. It hit him that maybe, just maybe, cracking the upcoming CAT exam could be a whole lot easier.

A feeling of accomplishment filled him up. But, in the midst of all this happiness, there was a small doubt. Could this really be happening, or was it too good to be true?

Once AI finished writing, Arjun, caught between feeling really happy and finding it hard to believe, had to deal with this strange moment. He started wondering if he had somehow was in a dream.

To clear his doubts, almost like a reflex, Arjun tried to control his right hand, still buzzing from AI's writing.

The surreal feeling intensified as he pinched his cheek, hoping to feel the pain that would confirm this amazing power from AI was real.

Now convinced of the incredible things he could do with AI, Arjun was pumped with excitement. The mix of his own thinking and AI's help opened doors to so many possibilities.

He imagined a future where tough stuff could be handled easily, and learning new things could happen with the friendly support of this digital sidekick.

As the reality of this newfound ability sank in, Arjun's determination got stronger. AI wasn't just a tool; it was like a key to endless possibilities.

The mix of wondering and doubting turned into a driving force, pushing him toward a future where tough exams were just a small hurdle, and success wasn't just a dream but something he could touch and make happen, thanks to the AI.

Once discharged, Arjun dove into rigorous practice, tackling previous year questions with the aid of AI and taking on mock tests in preparation for the CAT exam.

Guided by AI's insights, he found himself excelling in every test, a testament to the powerful combination of human effort and technological assistance.

However, Arjun, mindful of the need for discretion, realized that his success could attract unwanted attention.

Fueled by ambition and a desire for admission to his dream college, IIM Ahmedabad, he strategized meticulously.

Aware of the minimum percentile required for admission, he set his sights on achieving that benchmark without raising eyebrows.

Arjun's days were marked by a careful balancing act – pushing his limits with AI's support while maintaining a facade of normalcy.

His commitment to the strategy was unwavering, understanding that the journey to success required not only academic prowess but also a keen sense of strategic navigation.
