Trying to expose her to that whole world.

And so I love it, but I'm not sure that that

is the antidote to why does this scare us so much?

I will say, I will agree with Emily on that one.

I think there are like some dark days ahead, don't get me wrong, where it's going to be like, you know, I cannot consume another AI movie or another AI script.

By the way, I'm now obsessed with movies.

Why should I go?

I'm positive that it was written by AI.

I am so positive.

Totally.

Thank you.

And I am watching so much these days and where I am so sure it was written by AI.

But all that does is make me then want to read a real book.

I kind of want to cleanse myself of that after I've experienced so much of it.

I tell my fellow writers, younger writers, for example, who are all wrestling with these questions about AI and what it might do to publishing and the written word.

It's like, yeah, there'll be this era of fascination, but in the end, I think it only creates more desire for real writing, for a real conversation, for a real engagement.

I do think in the long run,

the human experience and our desire for it wins.

It's just that in the interim, there's gonna be a lot of really bad stuff to wade through and sort through to reconnect with human nature.

So listen, you're on TikTok at 2 a.m.
