So that's the first distinction that matters is get rid of all the busy work.

There's no –

honor in that.

I mean, I'll just mention in the 1990s, there was this big debate about whether we should have kids use desk calculators or not.

And thank God that finally got resolved.

We let kids use calculators so that we can learn, you know, we can spend a couple days learning long division, but you don't have to spend six months on it because who cares?

With the virtuous friction...

There's real opportunity to surf the wave of AI so that you are figuring out these tough problems with the aid of somebody who cares about your problem and is willing to talk with you 24-7 and never gets tired of talking to you about it.

And so you are not just copying and pasting, but you're working with the AI to

To come up with ideas that were beyond what you would have come up with.

Because I mentioned earlier about internal models.

We have pretty narrow fence lines.

And you can think of all these things, but you don't even know what you don't know.

So if you can have somebody who's willing to talk with you, an expert in all of humankind's knowledge, willing to talk to you about it as much as you want, there's a real opportunity there to have a synergy where...

collectively, you both come up with a better idea than either of you could have alone.

And it's full of contrastive construction, like it's not this, it's that.

Yeah, exactly.

And then the em dashes, exactly.

I'm really asking, like, is the person that did that benefiting from it?

No.
