But I guess with AI, you can see that the potential is incredible. The potential for it as a tool is incredible. The obvious worry I think that we all have is, is that guy going to take my job?

If you end up replacing... If any creative work is one human attempting to communicate with other humans, if you take the human out of one end of that pipe, I don't know what... You've got a different... I think you've got a different form. You've got a different thing that I don't know what that is.

Well, no, it's just I'm walking around. Occasionally, so I've collaborated with, right, so there's two of the episodes this season are co-written, but we don't have like a formal writing room where people are sort of pitching ideas and stuff. Usually what's happening is I'm wandering around thinking ā I've got nuggets of idea and then they'll sort of coalesce at some point.
