I had to apply my piece to that, but I think AI can be a very useful tool. But I think that human connection is, It's a principle. It's always going to be needed.

And there were, they have 25, I wish I could find, they have 25 skills laid out there, but the top three skills were creativity, interpersonal skills that you're just talking about and creativity, interpersonal skills.

This happened to be a woman and she was, she had, I believe, I know she had her PhD. I think she had two PhDs, very intelligent, very intelligent.
