Because obviously, learn to code is not a phrase that is tripping from the tongues of anyone over in the CS department anymore.

And yeah, when you think of what will be left standing...

should anything be left standing when the robots take over, it has to be those things where we still care that a human is in the loop, right?

It's not radiology.

It's not even scientific discovery, right?

I think if we could automate all science, we will not be nostalgic for the time that the apes were the authors of those discoveries.

I mean, we simply just want to know what's true, right?

So if we can get the real physics faster and the real medicine faster and everything in between,

I think we want that from the robots, but I'm not sure we want to see robots writing all or any of our novels or poems or, you know, we're not going to show up in a Broadway theater to see robots perform Arthur Miller.

I mean, you know, I guess maybe for novelty's sake, we might, but I just feel like there will be those things and they'll be disproportionately on the humanity side of the quad where

We feel like we want the human connection both at the origination of the work or at least the curation of it, right?

We just want some, we want people with good taste, I think, guiding culture once more and more of it gets produced by machines.

Yeah, I think it's not only about wanting to know what's true.

I think it's also about there's just a deep, insatiable curiosity about who humans really are, like who we are.

So I think the amazing thing about reading a novel is just the glimpse into the subjective inner life of another human.

That's really what we're in it for.

And I think that's why I stop when I come across these AI stories.

I feel like, okay, it's not actually giving me a true insight because it was just put together by some code.

Do you think you feel that way about all art equally?

I'm not sure I feel that way about music, purely instrumental music, leaving the singing and the lyrics aside.
