And I guess what comes to my mind when you ask that question is I compare it to the internet.

And in many ways, that's brought us much closer together.

It allows you to find and discover communities that you might be interested in, stay connected with friends.

It allows us to do these types of things that wouldn't have been possible previously.

But at the same time, there's the other side of this, which is people are spending more and more times, you know, doom scrolling and more and more times on their screens, not speaking to their friends and family.

And so I can kind of imagine a similar pattern with AI.

And in, you know, in many ways, yeah, it'll take over admin tasks for you and maybe some of the higher cognitive tasks.

But then I worry about things that are in the media recently about people spending more time using LLMs for therapy instead of talking to properly trained therapists and their friends and families.

And so I think like most technologies, it's going to depend on how we as individuals, businesses and society hopefully choose to apply AI and integrate into our lives.

Well, I mean, look at things like, you know, Instagram and so on.

I mean, originally they started as, you know, share, you know, you could keep up with your friends' lives.

But now if you're scrolling through them, how often are you seeing things from your actual friends versus... You know what?

Versus what... Influencers and...

Human control is the most important aspect of these.

I think what we talked about at the start, which is the superficial addition of AI features into every product.

I think the other one just related to our last conversation, which is the dreadful AI generated ads you see on social media platforms, I think is...

A very much overrated trend.

I don't know whether it's rated, but a poor trend.

AI trend, I think is, it's not probably not underhyped, but it's certainly very early stages, which is MCP.

So model context protocol.
