it's the Bill Gates quote, isn't it?
If I was building a company now, I would hire smart, lazy people because smart, lazy people don't want to do things that can be automated and they automate them for you because they want to do things that excite them.
And that's what AI has the ability to do.
That's good.
And if you layer AI in that, a lot of us are probably using AI as a stupid laborer because there isn't the ability, there isn't the knowledge on how to use them.
I mean, I was on a panel talk a couple of weeks ago with a gentleman who was very AI β
negative had a negative view on ai and we and i i have a positive view on ai if ai is approached positively and we got into an argument well not an argument that's that's he was talking about how whenever he used ai it always made mistakes it always gets stuff wrong it hallucinates all the time and i said and i and there was lots of nodding and i said well it never does for me
So what's the difference, the AI or me and you?
We always blame the technology.
We never blame the operator.
And it can do wonderful things for productivity, for not creativity, but for sparking creativity if you give it the right inputs, guardrails, tools.
And that's why we've got to look at ourselves, not saying it always makes mistakes.
Well, you know, it's like I crushed the Lamborghini because it could go too fast.
But to that point, Dimar, it's not going to get it right 100% of the time.
And you have to check.
But would you expect a human being to get things right 100% of the time?
You wouldn't.
And so there is still a burden of proof on the user to the output that they receive.
Yes, I think so.
And I also don't think they give it the conditions to succeed.
