Yeah, so I like I I can't like I really I think AI is fake I like yeah here you guys comments and I'm like if you you know the other day your podcast made the comment that And you think I don't listen

that you went out and asked a bunch of 10 CEOs, how long until an AI is smarter than your best 10 employees?

And their answer was, oh, it's there now.

And I listened to that and went, well, then their 10 best employees must be fucking morons.

Because my experience working with AI on a daily basis is this machine doesn't know shit.

I spend more time trying to teach it how to write than watching it write.

I spend more time fixing the AI.

And as a scientist,

I think it's absurd as well.

I'm doing neuroscience with it, and I'm watching the AI, which is supposed to know every fucking thing there is about neuroscience, miss huge gaps in huge fields.

It's a convergent thinking engine.

It doesn't do divergence.

And most of the breakthroughs are never true.

So I think this is, I mean, it's the future of humanity.

I'll take the high road on this one.

By the way, I'm opinionated, and nobody much likes me.

Oh, wait, I forgot we had a live audience.

Here's the counter to this.

And this, I think, is the difference between coming at it as a writer or an artist or a creative versus coming at it as a coder.

It hasn't gotten better.
