00:00I enjoyed that brief bit that you read, it reminded me of Sasha Cohen's character in
00:05The Great Dictator, General Aladdin, so that was funny, so I'm very curious.
00:10You could cast him.
00:12In fact, in one of the sketches, there's a sketch where he looks like Sasha Cohen.
00:16Oh, he does? So, yeah, that's one of my favorite movies.
00:18It's just so, so timely these days. The second is very different, because I am an AI engineer,
00:25I'm just visiting from London. Are you worried that very soon this book is going to be in
00:32a model and there would be, could be spawning various sequels of the character?
00:37And I think I have some friends who are just hobbyist writers and just write books on topics,
00:43and they are a little worried about this. I'm sure, I mean, it may not be as worrisome
00:48to you because you've got other career opportunities, but a lot of them, as you said, as a writer,
00:54are feeling threatened, or you're going to get an army of armchair writers.
00:57So you're saying, like, what you're saying is AI is not going to write for us.
01:00Yeah, it's happening.
01:02It's never going to happen.
01:03I agree, I'm with you, but if you look at the amount of books that are showing up on Amazon,
01:08on Kindle, especially on the soft model, it's just crazy. I just wanted to know your objective.
01:13And I am with you. Creativity cannot be created, so, yeah.
01:16I mean, that's one way of putting it. I also feel like the beautiful thing about,
01:22I was just chatting with the one who was here earlier about this, I was like, you know,
01:25what's fascinating is that we, and we were talking about the stand-up scene, so anyway,
01:29but to also connect it to this was like, the beautiful thing about writing is that
01:35you have people from different walks of life, different countries, different experiences,
01:39gender, sexual orientation, whatever, talking about their very specific lived experience, right?
01:47Like me and my brother, we grew up in the same house, right?
01:50There could have been a death of, say, for example, my grandfather,
01:53but the way it affected me and him, or my father, very different.
01:57We have different perceptions of it. It's like saying the glass is half full or half empty.
02:02And that is such a human thing to do. I don't think AI will ever, I mean,
02:06AI, I think, should be used for better things, like, I don't know, running companies better
02:10or figuring out how we can distribute wealth equally, more fairly in the world, you know,
02:15maybe it should take the job of CEOs and do organization better as opposed to, like,
02:20worry about creativity. I think let creativity be a human experience, you know,
02:25as opposed to, like, burdening AI with it. I think AI, it will evolve as we go along,
02:31but the way I look at it is like, and it will be definitely a very important part of our lives,
02:36but let's learn to harness it like fire. You know, fire can be used to cook a meal,
02:42but it can also burn someone's house. It depends on how we use it.
02:46And I think that responsibility has to come from the human consciousness.
