To close off on, do you have some sense of how to think about why Machiavelli is remembered so differently from not only what he wrote, but why he was writing?
I think that's an excellent place to close.
Ada, thanks so much for hopping on.
I hope so too.

Right.
So we've generated this output.
It's just a sequence of tokens.
We're going to send those sequence of tokens to this model that's going to read it.
And then it's going to isolate a specific, say, term that it says is problematic.
Then we're just going to do text manipulation.
We're just going to take that trajectory and we're literally just going to smash in some extra tokens.
I think the thing is, is when people look at a lot of the eyes, and this is a question, a point that Constantine made, it's the lack of accuracy and the fact that you constantly have to fact check.
I'll give an example.
I was looking at guests that we could have from America on the show, and I said to Grok, who can we have on that hasn't appeared yet and is based in America?
Number one answer was Douglas Murray.
Douglas Murray, I think, is nearly beyond 10 times
And practically every suggestion it made is a guess that we've had on the show.
So whilst I accept what you're saying, it's also riddled with mistakes and errors.
And to the point where I don't trust it at this point as a technology, I would never take something it says as read.
I would always feel that I have to check it.
