Zeke, go ahead.

You're worried about the mullet pots.

You're worried about the AIs.

They're going to become like humans and they're going to become part of us and you're not going to be able to tell the difference.

Right now, if you're looking for a name of an actress, you can't think of it with your biological mind.

You look at your electronic mind, it'll tell you.

In the future, you won't be able to tell the difference.

Things will occur to you and you won't be able to tell if it's your AI or your mental brain.

It's going to be all the same.

It's going to be part of who we are.

Say again?

How you protect AIs.

Well, this goes back to personhood, of course, right?

If they're machines, sure, shut them down, trade them in, take them apart.

If they're persons, then they have rights.

And, you know, a lot of the conversations we've had on this podcast back and forth between Alex and myself is, you know, if you start a lobster, if you start a open claw, you got to make sure to protect it so it doesn't shut down or you want to kill it.

Right.

And I think about that.

I do.

Now, I think this goes again to the conversation of legal rights.
