Yep. One of the first ways is artificial intelligence and generative AI in particular is good at doing summarizations. It's taking a lot of different sources and pushing together in a way that provides a breadth and depth of information that a static source might not have.

Now, the other thing that's interesting about generative AI is that you can also use it in chat GPT in particular is very good at this. In that it can actually tune up or tune down the literacy level of the output. So, giving me somebody that's graduate school educated, yourself as well, and saying, okay, normal patient education comes at a fifth to eighth grade reading level. Okay.

For me, that's like, I don't even bother looking at it, right? Because I know way more than that. But... If I do that, can I tune it up and give me more information at the level I'm going to understand is really quite powerful. And similarly, on the downside of that, and one of the things doctors do well or badly is explaining to patients, right?

And if you can tune it down to their level, because I often, one of my colleagues here calls me the chief explaining officer because I do a lot of explanations around this stuff. And I do it, but I break it down so that I don't try to be condescending, obviously, but I want to make sure people understand the basic building blocks of the concepts we're talking about.

And that's hard for physicians. But we're trained in the fancy words we've learned, right? But when you're talking to a patient, you start throwing fancy words, they don't get it, right? You lose them quickly. And the good clinicians then figure out a way to make it simpler for those that, and getting to the level they're at. AI can do that on the fly, right?

in a way that's unique and fast that we can't imagine doing and we can do more uniformly. Similarly, it also, people, there's been studies and other things, people actually think the responses out of AI are more empathetic than their providers. So it gives you literacy, it gives you empathy, it gives you different things that you're like, wow, didn't think about that at all.

It can, absolutely. So it's very powerful that way. And there's ways to have it do things that take work from a human mind perspective. It can do instantaneously.

Yeah, I mean, we're already, even without AI, we're already there, right? Social media, which is, there's a fair amount of AI in social media algorithms, machine learning sort of thing. We're already there. And so it behooves the public to understand the technology and how it can manipulate you without you realizing it, right? And there are companies that are using it to sell you things.

There are companies that are using it to grab your attention to things. It's the proverbial rabbit hole. AI can only make the rabbit hole worse. And if you're in a certain mindset, going and following the rabbit down the hole becomes easier and easier. We're already in a place where that's easy, right? It's going to get worse. So we have to educate people on the implications of this. I'm

And this goes to training of medical students, right, is a core example. I'm worried about giving AI to medical students because they don't learn to think like doctors, which is really, really important, first and foremost, as an example. We have a technology where we can record a doctor-patient conversation and then create a note for the doctor. I'm the first.
