So I was like, I'm going to draw stuff in Microsoft Paint, the Windows XP version, really badly to illustrate my point.

And it was like wildly popular.

People are like, I love this.

And it looks like I'm terrible at drawing.

And like all of them take less than 10 minutes.

It's just like a four-year-old, right?

But it was really resonating with people.

And I think the underlying point was...

There's almost, you know, like ad blindness where you just automatically ignore ads.

I feel I'm doing that with, if I did realize something is AI content or it's like an AI image, I barely look at it anymore.

It's not interesting to me.

Whereas if I saw something even badly that someone's thought about and drawn and maybe there's an Easter egg in there, it's like gets my attention.

So I'm hopeful that,

this is where we'll come round to and we'll have pockets of the internet that are very, almost like authenticated, or verified, sorry, verified human, you know, so it's like a no-bot.

I always felt bad, right, in the original Star Wars, when Luke walks into the cantina and C-3PO and R2, they're like, hey, none of your kind in here.

And I was like, oh, that's so harsh.

They're lovely robots.

I get it now.

Like if I was a bar and ChatGPT was walking in, I'd be like, none of your kind in here.

Humans only.
