Because, you know, we always go, we sort of, we had the abacus and we thought that's a great thing for mathematics.

That became the calculator, which we trusted 100%.

Calculators never get mathematical questions wrong.

The calculator developed into the computer.

And we thought, oh, well, the computer is the big brother of the calculator.

If I can trust the calculator 100%, surely I can trust the computer 100%.

And then AI came out of the computer.

So it's coming out of a computer.

Surely I can trust it 100%.

And so we've inherited this belief that anything that comes out of the computer is 100% correct.

Surely you're not going to know more than the computer, my friend.

But now we're at a point where we realize that the human brain is so much more complex than the computer, and surely it does know better than the computer, my friend.

So it's just going to take a little bit of a while for humans to get into that paradigm shift of actually, hold on, I know a lot better than AI.

Because human intelligence isn't just what AI does at all.

It's got so many more different facets to it.

So I just worry about that phase.

But I still have a lot of trust in human intelligence.

And this is coming from you from a profession where you actually are more involved in the brain from the start of your career than in computers.

That makes sense.

And also, Dietmar, one of the great things about the career I've had is I've had the absolute honor of working in so many countries around the world, interacting with so many cultures.
