Algorithmically, it might think of it very differently than I am thinking about the situation.

It doesn't matter.

It comes to the same conclusion, ends up in the same place.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree.

We have yet to see where these differences matter and what it is to be a human.

But I can tell you one thing.

We care about other humans.

So here's my little prediction is that there's going to be actually a renaissance in things like live theater and live performances.

When things first came out like Napster, everyone thought, OK, that's the death of –

concerts like who's that's the death of musicians right but in fact you look at a taylor swift concert gajillions of people there paying lots of money like everyone loves the the thing but why because they're going to see the real taylor swift in person and i have noticed i give a lot of talks on the road i have noticed an increase in the number of talks

Since AI came out a few years ago, the first thing that my friend said to me is, hey, did you know, David, that you can, you know, use 11 labs and hey, Jen, and you can make an avatar of yourself and you can use your voice and use Chachi Petit to generate what you're going to say and have a fully virtual version of you.

He said, my friend who gives talks too, he said, maybe we can start doing this and do virtual talks.

I said, nobody's going to want that.

In fact, what's happened is more people want to fly us across the country to have a stand there in person because it really matters to see fellow humans.

And I think that's only going to increase.

I totally agree.

And by the way, you know, AI relationships, by one estimate, there's a billion people having relationships with AI, like a girlfriend or boyfriend kind of thing.

Okay.
