And especially in the context of what humans will continue to need.

When you were born, Dan, you were born with a bunch of needs.

And those needs fundamentally haven't changed.

One of them is connection.

I think you'll always be able to discern what is real human connection from artificial connection.

I remember being 16 years old in my psychology class at the back when they told me about the rhesus monkeys experiment, where they got a rhesus monkey, this small little monkey.

They pretended that its mother was a wire mesh.

So they made a wire mesh mother.

The rhesus monkey grows up to be a psychopath.

because its fundamental human need of connection is not met.

They then did it with a cloth, and the recess monkey grew up to be a bit more stable.

And then obviously they showed the examples where the recess monkey actually had a physical flesh mother, and it was fine.

So I say this to illuminate the fact that we have fundamental needs, that if not met, there will be consequences.

One of ours is connection.

So as a content creator, I can sit here and I can tell you what happened today.

I can say at six o'clock, this guy broke into this bank and then he left.

I think that's a commodity now.

I think the thing that I can do as a podcaster, as a behind the scenes content creator, as a streamer, this is why I'm so bullish on streamers, is they're making irreplaceably human content.

There's no AI that can, an AI can tell you what happens in menopause.

An AI can't tell you its experience of menopause.
