So you don't want...

as you're getting to use ChatGPT or any other AI, you don't want it to go off and do a bunch of things for you without you feeling in control.

And so it's one thing if it's like answering a question for you, reading some docs and summarizing them, things like that.

But as we're in this transition from ChatGPT being a thing that

answers questions to a to a product that actually goes and does tasks for you in the real world and you should be in control of any actions that it takes and over time as the models get better and you begin to trust them more than sure you can give it you know sort of more leash and trust it to take more actions autonomously but you should control that every step of the way and i think that's one of the most important ways that we're looking to build trust

Well, so I'll give you, this one's a little bit more, I don't know, pragmatic, but it was a really meaningful thing for me.

We have, we were talking about kids as people were sort of coming on and one of our sons had a minor surgery and it was one of those things where all odds were that it wasn't going to be a big deal, but there's a small chance that it was a really bad thing, you know?

And so they, they do the surgery and like they take the thing and they go to biopsy it.

And you're waiting for, you're waiting to hear back.

And as a parent, you're nervous, even though, you know, logically that the odds that it's anything bad or, or really small.

And at some point we got a letter in the mail with a bunch of, you know, doctor ease on it that looked pretty intimidating, frankly, you know, there were a bunch of words I didn't understand and, and,

characterizing what this thing was.

And it wasn't, it didn't say like, you should worry about this or you should not worry about this.

It just like characterized it and then, you know, finished.

And I couldn't get a hold of the doctor.

She was in surgery or something, you know.

And so there I was like, oh my God, what does this mean?

And so I took a picture of it.

I put it in chat GPT and I said like, should I be worried?

And I said like, can you explain this to me like I'm five?
