But now they're predicting.

So, for example, in paralegal stuff, 48% of jobs are going to go.

In accountancy and bookkeeping, 86% of jobs are going.

They can, yeah.

This might be, Michael, the grunt work, you know.

And also in marketing, basic marketing, 48% of jobs will go, you know.

So those kinds of things are under threat.

I like that, Pat, because she lays out the good things and the bad things very clearly, Camilla, great journalist, you know.

The first thread is copyright breach, because obviously AI can read the literature of novels and write a new novel and you're breaching copyright.

The second is social media harming mental health and we all worry about that.

The third part is a big one, energy demand.

These data centres that are using a huge amount of energy.

In Ireland, she says, at the moment, 22% of our grid goes into data centres, whereas in 2015, it was 5%.

So a huge increase in energy needs coming off these data centres.

Yes, and then the other big one, Pat, is the white-collar jobs.

It's the white-collar jobs that are threatened, all these sorts of jobs that we've just mentioned.

Yes, yes, the psychologists are worried because if people are on their devices all the time and using AI instead of being in the real world with each other, you won't build the right kind of relationship with each other.

Now, I like this part because it really documents the threats that are there.

And what I thought was now we need to consider these threats and do something about them.

And that's why I quite like the way she defined it so clearly.
