Number two, AI does its job.

It lets you do any job because you can be a passable sound effects creator or UI designer.

You're not amazing, but you can be like, you know...

Number three, AI is amplified intelligence, not artificial intelligence.

You know, the smarter you are, the smarter the AI is.

Number four, AI doesn't do it middle to middle because you still have to prompt it.

You still have to verify it.

Then number five, AI doesn't take your job.

It takes a job of the previous AI.

Okay, what that means is

The way I process all the change that comes with AI models, I have a spreadsheet which has rows for what's the best AI coding model, what's the best AI image video model, and I have a column which says January 2026, February 2026, March 2026.

And when I determine that a new model has come in that can take in Opus's job or vice versa, then the AI takes the job of the previous AI.

Okay, so the AI doesn't take your job necessarily, it takes...

The next is AI is better for visuals than verbals.

So it's better for the front end.

It's better for movies and things like that because your eyes have effectively built-in GPS.

It immediately detects subtle things with the hands or this doesn't look completely photorealistic or whatever in a way that it takes you much more time when you're reading code.

One bit off that completely changes a cryptography result that it's very hard for you to detect with your eyes.

You have to do system two versus...

right?
