So imagine a chatbot that was actually video-based or very, very photo-based rather than a little less text-based.

I think that would probably be what you'd want for travel.

TBPN

I think what I'm describing would disrupt travel.

TBPN

more than the current chatbots, which are more acting like Google sending referral traffic.

And they actually, the referral traffic from these chatbots are converting higher than Google.

And so actually the chatbots are actually additive to travel companies.

To disremediate travel company, you would really want to disremediate the travel journey, and it would have to be much richer.

Yeah, and actually the CEO of Reddit.

This is such a good question.

I think there's three or four factors going on.

TBPN

The first factor is I saw a tweet recently that I think there's like 60 new Neo labs being formed.

And I've met a number of these researchers and a lot of them are interested in doing the same things.

TBPN

And I think what I'm noticing is most of these teams are purely AI people.

TBPN
Intel & Apple, The American Economic Rollercoaster | Brian Chesky, Josh Reeves, Jonathan Neman, Zal Bilimoria

They don't have product people or designers on their team.

TBPN
Intel & Apple, The American Economic Rollercoaster | Brian Chesky, Josh Reeves, Jonathan Neman, Zal Bilimoria

is they're picking things like science.

TBPN
Intel & Apple, The American Economic Rollercoaster | Brian Chesky, Josh Reeves, Jonathan Neman, Zal Bilimoria

They're picking things like coding.

TBPN
Intel & Apple, The American Economic Rollercoaster | Brian Chesky, Josh Reeves, Jonathan Neman, Zal Bilimoria

They're picking things like we want to create a different type of model.

TBPN

This is great, but I don't know if all 60 companies should be doing the same problem.

TBPN

And so what you're seeing is you don't see a big focus on people wanting to do consumer.

TBPN

I think some people think that the AGI can just figure out consumer.
