And I'm like, yeah, I think that will work.

I think an AI could do that because it's just got to do a very simple task.

And because it's only going to make a suggestion.

If it gets it wrong, that's fine.

Like, you're still going to do it.

It's just like what you were going to do anyway, which is click on a bunch of sources and read them, it filters through and finds the most likely ones, and then you go and read those, and it's not great.

So, like, I don't think we should be afraid of that kind of technology and be like, ah, it all sucks and it's terrible.

It's like, no, let's use it appropriately.

Unlike, say, Grokopedia, where they're trying to write the encyclopedia from scratch using, yeah, that's not going to be great.

One of the ones that I've always found interesting and amusing is there's an article in Wikipedia called Inherently Funny Words.

Yeah, the great story about it is there was a moment in time when it almost got deleted because it had become kind of a dumping ground in the early days.

Like people just...

like go by and just add some word they thought it sounded funny no sources and all that and so somebody's like oh this is nonsense like people are just writing random words and that's not that's not and and so it they nominated for deletion then we have a whole process and somebody's like wait wait wait hold on a second this is actually a legitimate concept right in the theory of humor and a lot of famous comedians and humorists have talked about it and like they went through and like rigorously sourced it all and uh it became quite a good article yeah

The only real casualty to this, there used to be a picture.

It was a cow with horns like strapped to its head with a rope.

And it was just like a funny picture.

And then the caption was very dry humor.

It just said, according to some, cow is an inherently funny word.

I don't know why I think that's so funny, but I loved it, and it had to go because there was no source.

Yeah.
