And you also review some of the liabilities of AI.
So like you said, it's not a love letter for AI.
But there's a lot of people right now who have antibodies to AI.

A chatbot can be part of your medical team.
And this was by Tom Rosenblatt in the Wall Street Journal.
And he was basically giving tips to patients about how they could use chatbots.
And as you know, a billion people around the world are using chatbots.
And, of course, a lot are using it to help their health of themselves or their family members or friends.

But when that was posted, I put it up because I thought it was interesting.
There's all these people saying, you know, hard pass.

I don't want an AI.

You're not a nurse.
