You're never going to be able to escape the fact that you are a physical being living in the physical world.
And so all of that pull that the Internet has, it was never really pulling us out of our bodies fully.
But also, as you're saying, David, it's like...
it's not working anymore.
Like it's less satisfying than it once was.
Yes.
Definitely.
And I think that one of the reasons that, especially people who create stuff,
as part of their lives, either for a living or as a serious part of their avocation, why they're so worried about or even opposed to AI is that they know, people know that the experience of doing something is as important, if not more important than the outcome or the product that's created at the other end.
And sometimes that experience is frustrating.
Like, I'm a writer, and I, like all writers, hate writing, right?
It's just not news to anyone.
But the moment-to-moment experience of pressing keys on my keyboard is delightful.
The experience of kind of like feeling ideas move through my fingertips, this is where I feel, that's where I feel like the ideas live, not in my brain, but in my fingertips.
Like, that's energizing.
And the notion that I would use AI...
to write for me, it would take away not just the writing, not the outcome, not the output, but the experience of being who I am in a certain way.
And that's true for people who are like ceramicists or fine artists or whatever they do, right?
You know, maybe you didn't ever like writing emails or receiving emails, but at least you got to write them.
At least you got to tap them out and you got to hear a little ding when it came in.
