Or am I using it to replace –

replace a cognitive skill I've done before to be faster.

And it doesn't mean you don't want to do those things.

I mean, GPS in our car is a perfect example of a place where we're replacing a cognitive tool to make me faster and more effective.

And frankly, you take away your GPS in a city you drive around and we're not very good.

Absolutely.

No.

And I mean, they had more gray matter in their hippocampus.

And we know that.

And you look at them today and they don't have to have that because the people in their back seats have more data, have more information, have eyes from the sky.

I mean, satellite data is so huge in our success in the future.

And, you know, it can anticipate the things that locally you can't.

And so it's been replaced.

But it still means when you lose that data, you don't expect yourself to have the same spatial navigation of that environment without it, right?

But you're still trying to gain insight and data and information that's making me a more effective human.

There was a recent paper from MIT that I actually, it was, it is very much what I spend a lot of my time talking about and thinking about.

The upshot of the paper first was that people, there's a lot less mental process or cognitive process that goes on for people when they use LLMs to write papers.

And they have, they don't have the same transfer and they don't really learn the information.

Surprise, surprise.

So there were three different categories, people who had to write the papers, you know, just with or using their brain only.
