I don't, you know, as interesting as it is, like what the thing that is most useful to me that I get excited about is like building stuff for other people.

I don't get a lot of like gratification or value out of talking to AI.

And I think this is also just like some, this is, you know, I'm probably in some weird place

privileged position, but I'm like, I work with, and I spend my time around people who I think are just so incredible that it's like, yeah, the AI models are good, but like, I want the person who's like actually the best at this.

And like, I could go find that person and actually just directly ask them.

So it makes it harder to, um, to do that.

But I think about like me, you know,

eight years ago learning to code in C++ and having a horrible experience doing that.

And I didn't have the person around me all the time who would actually help me do the thing I needed to do, which is figure out how to code.

And having an AI tutor that could help me do that would have been so valuable and not spent my time getting yelled at on Stack Overflow or whatever, which was also good.

I think if folks haven't done this before, my take, Corey, and I'm curious what your experience was like, but you need a few good examples of the model coming up with an idea that you wouldn't have thought would be helpful.

And then it kind of clicks.

Like I've done this, like historically, I was like kind of,

like I trust my human ideation process and I would intentionally not use AI to do it because I was like, you know, I actually have different and perhaps in some context more useful priors than AI systems, which are broadly trained on like lots of human knowledge.

Totally.

And then I've used the tools and then I would get some like really interesting novel idea that I wouldn't have come up with myself.

And it's given me more respect over time for like the need to actually pull these tools into the process.

I think the challenge is this how intentional you have to be about using these tools.

the tools right now.

Like I think like ideally I just do my ideation process the way that works best for me.
