So we don't have to think about ice anymore.

At least until we get off the air and see whatever horror has happened.

Anyway, let's go back to me and my friend, my new friend.

Plot code.

Oh, you are.

But you don't know.

It's like the ads.

Half the money we spend on ads is wasted, but we don't know which half.

Well, some percentage of your answers are wrong, but you don't know which ones.

And that, you know, is that, is that error rate different from, I wouldn't say chat has a worse error rate than a financial advisor.

Yes.

But, um, you'd be surprised like setting aside the real, the real trick with all these things is obviously you need a way to tell like whether the answer is right.

Like, I think I talked about this, maybe it was on rectifs about, you know, kind of like in the cryptography thing where it's like, it's really hard to derive the answer, but it should be really fast to check it.

That's the ideal.

But for everything in life, you need that.

How can I tell whether this answer is right?

You have to have some way to tell.

And that's why I always say, whether you're asking a person or asking a financial advisor or asking anybody, any kind of professional, or hiring somebody or whatever, if you hire someone to fix your fridge and they fix your fridge, you'll know real fast whether you fix it.

Does it get cold or does it not get cold?

Did they fix it or did they not fix it?
