And on the topic of artificial intelligence, I've been leaning on you.

Because in my head, I'm like, you know...

I recognize that, or I think at least, that in my area of expertise, which is media, I think that AI is basically an unadulterated evil and pernicious.

Maybe there are a couple of useful things for it, but almost entirely, I think it's going to be harmful to people's ability to understand what's real.

And there's a whole list of issues.

But I recognize in other areas that might not be true, right?

Like there are other areas where it seems like it's already extremely helpful.

And on your podcast, I turned to it to get some clarity.

And it seems like you don't have any clarity.

Is AI going to reshape everything or is it hype?

Will there be major job destruction or will that be the opposite?

Will it gain jobs?

Are we in a bubble or not?

There's just a lot of uncertainty there.

And that's frustrating for me.

I'm a simple man.

I like certainty, Derek.

So can you help me?

No, it's frustrating for me too.

The first one is right.
