This is a place where you want to, you want to connect with other people that are involved, like in the sport and have knowledge and they know your son and they've seen him play and they can give you their own experience of like, well, you know, I did go with like one of these larger drop, you know, bass, it was composite, but like, it's, it's a, it really is a hard swing plane, like stuff that for a kid that size and blah, blah, blah. podcast-host

And there's something very human in that, too. podcast-host

So maybe I'll throw that in there as well. podcast-host

It's not just generating text that you don't have to write. podcast-host

Sometimes getting information, you're getting this algorithmically pre-chewed information that's going to taste good. podcast-host

How do we deal with the addictive aspect? podcast-host

Which is new to me, but I'm hearing more and more about. podcast-host

What's the output anyways they're talking podcast-host

Yeah. podcast-host

And I would just say, remember... podcast-host

all the other technology the last 20 years that were powerful and had excitement around them, even if it was not fully sketched out at first. podcast-host

And we led into our lives without intention. podcast-host
