And AI can be great, but it's not an expert.

But then he also said...

You know, there's maximalists who think that AI is going to come really soon and take over the world and we're all going to be worthless.

And there's other people who think that, you know, it might happen over many decades, but we're probably going to be fine.

And he was like, I tend to be in that category.

And the reason being is that when a lot of people think about AI, they think that it's just going to take all of our jobs and we're not going to work anymore.

But human desire is not fixed.

And when you're thinking about AI, oftentimes people think desire is fixed, meaning once you hit a certain level of productivity, you will not do stuff.

And he's like, that's just false.

For example, if we look at the Industrial Revolution, people said the same thing when certain stuff started happening.

And then you look at the Victorian era where we started getting electricity, things like that, people made the same claim of...

We're not going to work again.

We need universal income and all this stuff.

And he's like, humans just always want more.

And because of that, I don't think that there's ever going to be a point where we are useless.

It's just going to be different.

And I thought that was a really great perspective on it.

And that's one of the first times I've heard a perspective on it, other than maybe Dharmesh talking about it, where I felt calmer.

Where I was like, we're just going, desires is not fixed.

We will evolve.
