But I think there is this kind of niche that it's catering for.

But I don't think it's going to be everything.

I don't think I'd want to live in a world where everything is made by AI.

That said, humans are all right, and there's some amazing podcasts.

There's some crap podcasts out there as well, which are getting zero listens, that are made in bedrooms, people wanging on for three hours about something that they think someone's interested in.

No one really is.

So I'm not sure if we've got it perfect.

I think...

And I think about lots of other technologies.

I think about other founders.

I think about businesses that come along, challenge the status quo, quite disruptive.

It can look quite reckless at the start.

It makes people really uncomfortable.

And I think the fact that she goes to an industry conference about podcasting and gets heckled, I think take a look at ourselves.

Surely these places are where we should be rewarding bravery.

We should be having robust debate and conversation, not shouting at people.

uh moreover women entrepreneurs that are sitting on stage that sort of bothered to come across and share some stuff so i think it's totally fine to give it scrutiny but to sort of do that intimidation thing she talked in the interview about uh you know people saying that they want to kill her i mean come on no no totally agree totally totally totally agree of course i think you can think she's wrong you can 100 disagree with her but

I think it's a bit of a stretch to start to paint her as this kind of villain that's going to, you know, cause this whole downfall of human creativity because the person in the bedroom who's doing it for kicks because they like it can still do it.

She's not inventing a law, which means they can't.

But perhaps I'll make this final point, and I agree that we should be able to sort of robustly debate these things.
