I don't know if you listen to Mark Manson.
He's the man.
Basically, he wrote this, he did a podcast.
I think it was his second most recent one.
It's a Q&A, maybe.
Finding Your Purpose, Failing Better, and the AI Future.
So that was, it was basically like an end of the year Q&A, which we actually did as well.
And he tells a story about how he built an AI product recently.
And so someone asked him, what do you think about the future of AI?
And he was like, well, I just built an AI product.
And I realized a few things.
One, AI is amazing in that it's better than 95% of people at certain things.
But the vast majority of value in the world is created by people who are 99.9% better at people than human things.
You still need these experts.
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.
