We don't really need to add quantum computers into the mix.

But there are also people who are going, how do we...

Yeah, what would this look like?

I don't know.

It'll probably become even more powerful than it is right now, but yeah, quantum computers aren't quite there just yet.

Yeah, I feel that too.

I think there's two answers to this question.

One is there are a bunch of new...

image and video generation models that have come out recently, and they're so terrifyingly... Yeah, some of them are very, very realistic.

And we're getting to the point that it's really, really hard to know if something is real or AI.

And that makes me very uncomfortable about the future that we're moving towards.

I really don't think this is, you know, a good move.

And also, at the same time, I look at the things that are, you know, supposed AI art, and I use inverted...

Yeah, I use quotation marks here.

And yeah, there is definitely something that is not beautiful about this.

It really does feel... It's weird to be a physicist that's talking about a soul, but it really does feel like it's lacking that soul, that human element, that effort.

And it's the same for AI music or AI-generated anything.

It seems to just go towards the lowest common denominator, the average of all of the stuff that it's been trained on.

Yeah.

Oh my God.
