AI doesn't have, and I'm not against AI, I use ChatGPT all the time, but it doesn't have empathy and emotional intelligence. So if I, and I always think back to myself, I didn't have my degree. It never stopped me from being headhunted. It never stopped me from doing any job. I was a headhunter and didn't have my degree.

And we have years of nuanced understanding. So we have this intuition that has developed as we have those trips around the sun. But AI relies on data patterns and they will miss that. There's also so many gray areas. Human beings are meant to navigate complex dilemmas and work in the gray area, but an AI can't.

So one of the things that we do at Fastest is building your network.

I don't want that anymore. And those men don't want it anymore.
