Reid Hoffman

Like if you said, well, would I only want to talk to read AI?

Absolutely not.

But would I want to talk to read AI sometimes in doing these things and have that as a way of kind of having a dialogue with myself and also showing kind of what's good at?

Because once I did that, one of the things I realized is I was – after I made that, I was off to –

go give a speech at the University of Perugia in kind of defense of an honorary doctorate.

And I sort of wrote out the speech.

And then I went, you know, I could actually have AI, read AI, give this speech in all, I'm only really fluent in English, in all of these other languages, you know, ranging from Hindi to Chinese to Arabic to all these things.

And to give the speech in those languages where people are much like, it was bizarre, right?

listening to me, my voice, speaking Hindi or Chinese fluently.

It's like, what would I sound like if I were speaking Chinese?

Now, one of the things that

My French friends told me my French sounded like Canadian French.

And, you know, I don't know what the story of that is, whether, you know, how it is.

Is there more audio samples of Canadian French?

Or somehow it goes, well, you're North American, so we're going to make you from Quebec rather than Paris.

But, you know, who knows?

Anyway, so but it was like it was humanizing.

was with the thing.

I thought I would really dislike it and it was humanizing and it started making me realize just like any, just as I say to other people, hey, you should use the technology to get a sense of it and control and to kind of, you know, give you, to reinforce your own agency with the technology.

It was like, that was me doing that with that.
