No, you're right.

I've been a fan of AI since I was a little kid, dating back to the Terminator 2 era.

It's not tolerated anymore.

We really did away with it during the... Harvey, basically, Me Too and Harvey.

I saw that movie when I was in second grade.

Yeah, it was Harvey, basically.

It's part of the reason why I became a filmmaker.

It was one of my favorite films of all time.

It was definitely tolerated.

I witnessed a lot of it at the beginning, you know, because I've been doing this for 25 years.

And I remember early on going to the mall and going to the arcade and those early virtual reality headsets you put on, they cost like $2 to play this rudimentary virtual reality game.

Like, I knew Brett Ratner, for instance.

Like, I saw him do terrible, horrible people...

Horrible things to people.

But then on the flip side, you know, I worked with alongside people like Jim Jarmusch, who couldn't couldn't have been the most complete opposite of a Brett Ratner.

I've always been super interested in technology.

And when ChatGPT first came out, I was one of the first people to start using it, I think.

They just found it to be fascinating.

But we've largely like disposed of those people.

So going into this, I definitely had, I wouldn't say a rosy view of AI, but I had a positive view of AI.
