All we would have to do, Alan, is really just give it this video of you and I, and it could completely remake this podcast forever.

into any format or any message that it wanted it to.

So the technology exists to do that today.

In the most part, if you think about Google's Notebook LM, which is also an exceptional product, you can give it a long, dense research paper

and then ask it to take the research paper and turn it into a podcast for you to listen to.

And then we could make that podcast out of you and I talking without having to have actually had the conversation.

So technology certainly exists.

And like at any point in time, historically before, fraud, identity theft, people taking advantage of other people, that's not going to change.

I think people just need to

to really do the basics.

And that is ensure any product they look online, they know what it is, it's verified.

They're going to the actual website rather than clicking on links in emails.

There's a lot of basic security things that we need to do in order to protect ourselves as consumers.

I mean, I don't think it all sounds very attractive at all.

Well, if you, Alan, needed to go to hospital and have a life-saving surgery with world-class medical infrastructure and get operated on a computer that was AI-assisted, I think you'd say that access to that technology was important and a significant advancement for humanity in terms of healthcare, and it would improve your chance of surviving.

The downside is the same with technology, and that is that someone will be using it for nefarious reasons and not for good.

So with all the good advancements comes the challenges in a societal sense, and I think we just have to continue to recognize that.

That your point is, should we not have these advances in AI and should we not have the infrastructure assets?

I think I would take the advances in healthcare and all the other benefits that come along with society and then have to manage the downside of those advancements, just like we do in any other industry.

I'll give you a choice, Alan.
