You're never going to know

100%, but you gotta take some of these dangers very seriously.

I just think as a generation,

We have lived long enough through technological change to know almost certainly that the promises of how great things are gonna be are almost certainly not true.

And I think we should really grapple with that.

I lived through the iPhone.

I was an adult whenever it came out.

It was the first smartphone I ever had, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

And sitting here, what, 16 years or so after I got my first iPhone 4, I don't think I'm better off with a smartphone.

I can say that pretty clearly.

I wonder what a lot of other people think.

But that's why with the AI skepticism that you have to have, I've seen all these promises sometimes by the very same people about how much better off that we would be.

And I'm like, I don't think I'm better off.

I can't even stop getting spam calls.

Does this happen to you?

Oh.

Like my iPhone now has the unknown calls list because there's so many spam.

So now imagine with AI and they have the ability to have somebody who can perfectly spoof your relatives.

I mean, especially a public figure like me.

All you got to do is run it through the AI.
