And by the way, in each time, and I'm not saying that to be dismissive, each time there were new differences. It's not like the new technology was exactly like the old ones. So there's always new things. Oh, it's much faster. It's being adopted much faster. And then this one's much faster, too. And that doesn't mean much faster is always OK.

But each time it was, oh, it's being adopted much faster. And it worked out. Now, maybe that's until it doesn't. So speed is one thing, because now that we all have smartphones, I will launch a new technology. And literally, it could be tomorrow. A billion people are engaged with it. Now, the other parts of it are, so one, speed. Two is cognitive.

Even though some of them, like the printing press and other things, had cognitive participations, changed the way that we function, communicate, trust information, share information.

For good. Yeah. Because part of the back to why did you write a book is because actually writing a book is a way of thinking. And it changes our patterns of how we think. Because, oh, the way we think now is perfect. We don't need to think better. And you're like, yes, we do. How do we get to the new ways of thinking? I think it's terrible.

It's part of the process. Part of technology is first we reject them, then we integrate them in terms of how we're being human. Back to the question of new is one is speed. Another one is it's a depth of cognitive that is completely different new from anything we've done before. Already AI writes better than the vast majority of human beings.

But part of it is the instruments can make better sounds. I can't reproduce those sounds in my vocal cords. So when I play the cello or the guitar, I'm playing new sounds. And I can only play those sounds with that instrument. And they're superior to a human sound. In various vectors. So now I have to adjust to I'm talented with my hands and the guitar.

I can make better sounds with the AI doing it. And the AI can make sounds, but I can still add something to the mix. And I'm adjusting as I integrate it in and I'm shaping what we create and I'm adjusting myself to doing it. And that's the progress of human technology. But the new zone is this is a set of different creativity and cognitive and expression that's totally new from before.
