They help software developers because those developers can use these automated tools, including AI, to find and fix bugs in their software before they ship it out, before hackers even have a chance to take a crack at it. And we think the same thing is happening with AI. And we think some of these fears are vastly overblown.

And then these ideas about AI developing an agency of its own and deciding to do stuff, these are pure sci-fi scenarios. Based on the way that AI is currently built today, those speculative scenarios really have no basis in reality. Yeah. So quick break here.

So it's not this one big thing that AI is going to do for everybody. I mean, that might happen in the future. But so far, I don't think there has been this one killer application. But it's 100 little things. So in my work, for instance, it's been enormously useful in helping me write code.

Frankly, it's hard for me to imagine going back to a time before I had AI assistance in writing code because it's just so much faster but also more fun, frankly. And, you know, for lawyers, I'm hearing there are so many ways in which legal tech is making their lives better, making it easier to find information. Of course, it's not going to replace a lawyer.

There have been many overblown claims of companies building a robot lawyer and things like that. I think that sort of stuff is a little bit silly for now, at least. But I think in every profession that involves basically dealing with knowledge in some way, AI can be a creativity enhancer or a way to automate certain mundane tasks in your everyday life. I think it can also be a good learning tool.

There are pitfalls here because AI can hallucinate, that is, generate incorrect information and not even be aware that it is hallucinating. That said, again, once one spends a few hours learning to work around these pitfalls, I think it can be a very good learning tool. I use AI a lot for learning about new topics.

I haven't stopped using books for learning, but, you know, I can't ask a book a question and I can't summarize my understanding of a topic to a book and ask it if I have gotten it right. These are things that I can do with chatbots. So those are a few of the ways in which I've been using it in my own work and in my own life. And I think Each person has to figure it out for themselves.

There are broadly two different ways to use AI. One is you can use a specific AI app. You know, ChatGPT is the most well-known one. Or you can use AI that's embedded into the other apps or other physical products that you use. And I think both of those are interesting and both of those are worth trying out. So specifically...
