And I think something may be possible in that realm like it was for writers where it's like,

there are a lot of people who could have a really interesting conversation.

But I guess I don't have to tell you that the mechanics of making a really good recording and editing it and having all of those pieces come together, I think the status quo, even today in the world, is you either have to sort of be an audio nerd yourself or hire a team of audio nerds, even to make

you know, forget about a amazing album, but even to make like an acceptable podcast is pretty difficult.

There's still a pretty high barrier there.

And I think we're going to be able to dramatically reduce the barrier to the point where anybody who wants to have a conversation and publish a great artifact of it, we'll be able to just do that.

Yeah.

I think conversation is, I mean, you don't have to, you can also just sit there and give a monologue to camera, but I think conversation is the much more common and much more natural format for those to be really interesting.

I mean, we're going to ship some iterations of this video recording live stuff that just make it much more powerful.

especially the editing, the ability to make cogent clips, or the bar for how well a human can do it that's really good is very, very high.

Yes.

But the bar for how good it has to be before it's serviceable for a conversation is actually still fairly high, but it's much lower than that.

And I think we're going to get to a world within the next month or two where anybody who wants to...

make something that's a podcast or a conversation is going to be able to do that and have it be sort of automatically pretty good.

Yeah, I think in the limit, it should be able to be really good.

There's a more interesting question, which is,

do you need the humans at all?

Why not just listen to the best AI conversation?

Instead of just the interviewer, why not the interviewer and the interviewee?

Which I think is a very deep question.
