I broadly agree with that. I will add a couple of additions to that. One is there are many kinds of harms, which we already know about and are quite serious.

So the use of AI to make non-consensual deep fakes, for instance, deep fake nudes, and this has affected, you know, thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, primarily women around the world and governments are taking action now, finally. So that's a good thing.

I agree. So we call this the liar's dividend. People have been worried, for instance, about bots creating misinformation with AI and influence in elections and that sort of thing. We're very, very skeptical that that's going to be a real danger.

Yeah, I think that's fair. But I think the reason that might fool a lot of people is because it came from a legitimate media company. So I think the ability to do this, you know, emphasizes some of the things that have always been important, but have now become more important, like source credibility.

So misinformation is a problem. In a way, I think misinformation is more of a symptom than a cause. Misinformation slots into and affirms people's existing beliefs as opposed to changing their beliefs. And I think the impact on AI here, again, has been tremendously exaggerated.
