Episode Transcript
[00:00:02] Speaker A: So welcome to another episode of A Brit and a Yank. Talk Business. Now, what are we trying to do? Why are we here? We want to be involved in educating, so we want to share some of our expertise, how we've built businesses, what are the problems and challenges we run into. We want to be here because we want to motivate others to do similar. We want to build kind of a gravity both in our businesses and in the things that we're communicating here. And we want to network also, so we want to build relationships with people who are thinking similarly. Hopefully you guys are in the audience, you're listening, and as we've said previously, ask questions, like, if there's particular things that I don't know, you're thinking about business, particular questions, things that Stuart and I should be talking about, please do let us know. But who's here? So, I'm Tom Chaldicott and I run Knox Thomas, and we have.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: I'm Stuart Amidan and I own page 50 marketing and media, located in the United States. I'm the Yank, just in case anybody was curious.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: And I'm the Brit.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: Yes. Well, so today I think we're going to have a fun conversation because everybody's talking about AI. So we said, why don't we.
So we use AI tools. We use a bunch of them to automate some things for clients and develop different products. Tom, I know you and I have talked about the development of AI, and with AI coming more and more on the scene, you know, first I kind of want to talk about what the heck even is AI. I think probably start there, right?
[00:01:30] Speaker A: That is a great question. I mean, I. I went to a national standards conference a couple of weeks ago, and they were complaining about it and slating it. You know, they're a bunch of pagans, and they want to regulate it to the hilt. Anyway, they're not only in the UK and we love regulation, but they're also.
They're also the standards body.
They don't want to. They're terrified. They want to regulate absolutely everything. But one of the things that they didn't do, they didn't define AI, so they were using this term and they were including everything from, like, mortgage calculators, which is just a dumb algorithm, to Google Maps, you know, and ChatGPT. So I think. I think defining AI in the first place is. Is pretty important, but it's also quite difficult and quite broad.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I. So I had this fun debate with ChatGPT not too long ago because I was trying to make it do Something that it, it said it couldn't do because it would was against its programming. Now this is nothing nefarious. I was just trying to make it be pushed in a particular direction to provide me with some feedback that it was like, can't do that, can't do that. I'm not allowed to make decisions like that on my own. And so my response back to the device was then, well then, are you intelligent? Like, are you, is it true that you have some type of intelligence or are you just a chatbot? And functionally the response back that it gave to me was like, you're right, I'm not a true artificial intelligence. I think that the whole terminology of AI is just a marketing move.
We're trying to be cool and edgy, when really I think that what we've created is some very high powered chatbots that are fun to interact with some very successful indexing tools, but we haven't actually made any intelligence the fix. I think the folks who are afraid, are afraid of the marketing lingo. I don't think that they're actually afraid of the potentiality of the current tech and what it can do. No doubt it's got a lot of potency and it has a trajectory and even a potential trajectory over time that could create some type of intelligence that could reason relatively independently. I imagine that that's true, but we're not in the Terminator. We're not even remotely close. What we have is the more and more that I interact and we use AI tools a lot in our business, the more and more that we utilize them and interact with them, the more we realize how incredibly broken they are. And they're just high powered indexing and chatbots. That's, that's functionally what we've got. They're good at receiving instructions. You can vibe code through them. Well, you can give it certain parameters and sometimes it'll stay inside of them, but sometimes it won't. Sometimes it'll, you know, hallucinate and go a little crazy and operate outside of its own.
But we aren't actually talking about the development of a true, I don't know, droid from Star Wars. You know, like they're reason in that capacity. They're able to index information, they're able to search the Internet, they're able to talk to you like a, like a person with a particular tone and voice. But that's about the extent. So when we say AI, I would say we're not actually there yet. We're, we're more in just a Cool tech phase.
[00:04:38] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it's a fun. It's a fancy search engine, isn't it?
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: It can understand syntax, grammar, structure.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:04:47] Speaker A: And it can present information through those lenses to make it look like it's intelligent or smart. I think one of the other things that I kind of want to jump on at the start as well. So I.
I was in the car for four hours this afternoon and someone had sent me a debate around some. Some people who have got opinions within the space of AI use a lot of those pieces of software and technologies and Pagans and.
[00:05:15] Speaker B: Bunch of pagans.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: Bunch of pagans. And they were all terrified. They're all like, artificial intelligence is going to grow and like, you're.
I don't know, people are effectively going to get targeted for one thing or another, and they're either going to get canceled from all their digital lifelines. And when I say that, I mean things like banking or the ability to kind of transact, or it's going to be used for some sort of warfare, and it's going to be really scary. Now, I think the first thing here is like, biblically, there's nothing new under the sun.
This is merely a tool that is just kind of changing the way that we are doing certain things.
So all of those things they listed that they were terrified of, you could still functionally do those things, which. With some sort of bureaucratic system or an army, you know, it is absolutely no different. And the other thing I want to mention from the start, really, is that we've been made in God's image.
We've been made with the ability, with a God likeness, to turn kind of the created world into things. You know, we can cut down trees, we can turn them into tables, we can add value, we can bless people with made tables. But what we can't do is, is create life. We can't create intelligence from nothing. And man is made different from the animals.
You know, these guys were kind of terrified. And I often hear the language of, like, training a large language model is like training a child. And we're actually like large language models. And, like, this is how we should be engaging with them. And even that language of like, this is a child, and how would you engage with your child? And this is the way we're going to engage with this piece of software. And you're like, no, this is stupid. And they're also in there chatting about kind of like their. Their pets, and they're making some analogies there, but they're. But they're happy to talk about how their pets have feelings, you know, and then there's a question there should do pets have feelings? How. How has man been made different from the animals? And we're not able to make an animal, okay, we, we can't do that. Therefore, why on earth do we think we can make something that is autonomously intelligent?
It's garbage. It's not possible. So, so one of the fun things in here is watching all the pagans tear their hair out, set their hair on fire, be petrified, when really we can just be like, no, God. God is sovereign. And he's also put like good limitations on these things that we actually can't do this thing that they're terrified about. So we can see this thing for what it is. It's a tool, it's the new tractor. And we can be excited about, you know, and I something for another time. Like we shouldn't be consumers, we should be producers. This is another tool to enable us to be more effective and efficient in our producing so we can be excited about it. And that's what I like. This is something to be excited about.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. It's a tool, it's not a curse. And just like any technology, whenever it's been developed, will initially be abused.
Facts on the ground, you know, that's historically happened. People use it poorly. They abuse it from the beginning. Folks don't know exactly what it's for yet. They're still trying to figure all those different things out. Whenever the Internet showed up for the first time, we had all the exact same problems. Now we've got AI and so folks are, they're worried about is my intellectual property at risk? Are we in danger of being taken out by terminator robots? Like all these kind of fears pop up in folks mind and I just want folks to be reminded, hey, it's a good, it's a tool.
And if you learn how to use it and use it well, you'll actually be increasing the productivity and fruitfulness of what you already have going. Your comment about the tractor is spot on. Everybody was afraid back in the 1800s that human beings were going to starve to death on this earth. And they said, oh no, we can't keep growing at the number that we're growing at because we won't. We're going to have food shortages again. This is, you know, the fear of overpopulation has been a thing for some time and the response to that was God put the thought into somebody's head of a tractor. Ta da. And now we have ample supply of goods for a worldwide population. Now our poor people aren't skinny anymore, they're fat. Like it's. Everything's changed in the dynamics of the world that we live in now. And not only that, but the people who adopted that technology early, who adopted the technology of the tractor early, their businesses flourished and the ones who were afraid of it diminished and shut down. Like, we gotta remember all of these things at the same time and say, hey, a new crazy game changing technology is available now. You know, we made comments in the beginning of this. It's a glorified chatbot that indexes a certain way. Like all those things are still true, right? All that stuff's still true. But one of the things that we also have to keep in mind is that, hey, this is still powerful tech and it gives a lot of opportunity and can increase the output of people and their businesses, especially in the digital space. So like, for us, we developed an automation through AI tools that turned a 10 hour task into a 6 minute task, just like that. And it operates at the same or comparable levels of the way that we were doing it before now. We still had to babysit it. You know, like, we don't just turn this thing on and then leave. We still have to babysit it and make sure that it doesn't start hallucinating into somebody's website or crazy information. And so we do that.
But the amount of time saved, now we've got an opportunity to go and be more fruitful for other things. We just saved our clients a ton of time and money. We just saved ourselves time. So now what new thing am I going to go and build now that I've saved all this extra time with this, with this particular piece?
If you look at it like a tool, you're going to have opportunities to be more fruitful, just like any other tool.
Yeah.
[00:11:06] Speaker A: While there's silence, I'm going to say that this is not my wall.
This is not my wallpaper. It is real. It's not a.
Anyway, I think someone can cut that out.
I think one of the, one of the other interesting things here is how does it change? How does it change the marketplace?
What does it change in terms of the things that become valuable?
So I was chatting with someone the other day and it was quite an interesting discussion around.
So what, what is AI good at? Well, it's good at taking a portion of information and digesting it and producing some sort of output from a request. Okay, so where is that information currently? It's just mostly scouring the Internet across the world. But is there pockets of information that it has not yet scoured or it can't, it can't quite map out or index that we can feed it or we can do something with it?
In the UK we've got certainly kind of an aging workforce, particularly in kind of engineering. There's no one. Well, there's very few people within engineering between the ages of like early 30s and late 50s and people are starting to leave. And what is there for happening is knowledge is exiting the industry now as those guys age, they're probably selling businesses as well.
Now my question is how much knowledge and insight and data exists within those businesses that they're potentially selling. So you've got effectively a packet of data within that business that you could now plug into AI and you could start extracting information, which would be really interesting. So at the moment, people, you know, I, I think the other fun thing here is that, I don't know, no one over the age of kind of 50 is really kind of considering AI seriously in any fashion. Maybe they don't really need to, but it means that there's a real opportunity here. Like, you and I, Stuart, have had conversations where you're kind of at the cutting edge in your development of tools. And like, that's totally true. Like people aren't doing this. And there's been various conversations I've had with 20 other business owners in the room. They're all kind of in there and they kind of laugh at the idea of ChatGPT.
They laugh at the basic things that it could do. And they're like, no, this is ridiculous. We won't use it. This is really like, you know, I wrote an email this morning, it didn't save in my drafts and I was like, oh, that's frustrating. That's just wasted me half an hour of my time. And I couldn't be bothered rewriting the whole email. So I just put notes together, stuck it into Chat GPT and it produced kind of a draft email for me. Like, you know, that's just saved me half an hour's worth of work.
Yeah, yeah. So like, we can totally be using these tools, but I think there's going to be opportunities that we're going to see as people who are kind of playing with it and thinking about it, that the older generation is not. And it's going to be exciting to see what that looks like.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: Yeah. One of my favorite things to do with it is record my meetings and then feed the meetings back through An AI tool to give me notes and actionable items. That's awesome, because now I don't have to be obsessed with my computer keyboard the whole time I'm sitting here. I can be fully engaged with the meeting, and I don't have to say, okay, could you say that one more time? Like, okay, what was that thing we were doing again?
I can just be invested in the conversation and then come out of the other side. Now you have to babysit it. I always have to say that qualifier a bunch of times. You have to babysit these things. These are tools. You don't just, like, go turn your wrench on and leave. Even manufacturing plants that run automated services still have to be babysat and watched and made sure that nothing's gone awry.
You have to babysit these tools, but you can leave those meetings with actionable items and notes and say, hey, guys, based on the last meeting, here's what I'm gonna do. Does that sound good with everybody? All right, high fives. Moving on. It's great. It's a helpful tool. You just gotta learn how to wield it correctly.
[00:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, one of the things. So this podcast that I was listening to earlier, they're fearful that it's gonna take everyone's jobs. Okay. And, like, no doubt, no doubt. We hear this all the time. Okay, yeah, yeah, but, like, just. Just, like, the tractor took people's jobs. Like, what jobs did it take? It took the really bo.
Ones that are really rubbish and no one really wants to do. Okay.
I mean, we were chatting kind of last podcast episode about why a population increase is a good thing and why the number of kind of productive hours available is a good thing, and it drives the cost of goods down so that our lives are better. Now, if we can introduce a tool that gives us 10% more time, say, or frees up a load of people to stop doing rubbish jobs so that they can do more valuable jobs.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:15:39] Speaker A: Brilliant. It's only gonna be a blessing to all of us. Like, yeah. And I suppose it comes back to this idea that, like, no, we should be. To be labeled as producers rather than consumers. Now, if we're labeled as consumers, then the whole Malthusian piece about, like, oh, it's another mouth to feed, and, like, you know, people then go like, oh, well, genocide. We're gonna be talking about that, and it's just. It's just daft.
So if we can talk about as being consumers, like, how do we. How do we bless, like, the person who's got a monotonous job with something more interesting and something more valuable that is going to bless society.
I can see very few downsides to this.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: Well, I think you're onto something pretty sharp. Whenever you say the producers and the consumers, I think that AI is going to make that divide even larger. And the continuing tech advancements that we're seeing, I mean, have you seen the robots that Elon is building right now?
They're humanoid robots that can carry out functionally any humanoid task. That's simple enough. They had some bartending and event that he was at last time, and they were interacting as humans as they tended bar and handed drinks to people. Okay, so obviously that's not super complicated. Pull this, hold the cup, hand this cup over here. But there's tons of motions involved that actually make that more complex than we realize. How long is it going to be till we have cyborg plumbers? You know, little humanoid robots that show up to your house and crawl underneath and fix the pipes and then they crawl out.
It's not long. You know, we're heading into a time where this gap between those who will take the idle time that these devices give them and do nothing with it, and the other side who will take it and innovate, will only get wider. I think we're heading into. It's almost like a greater class divide, except now the real asset that people will be dividing over is, I would argue, knowledge. That's where the real wealth is coming in. Knowledge and expertise and experience. Being able to communicate about things that you know about and do so effectively. I think that's the seasons that we're moving into. The jobs that AI will eliminate are the very low tier jobs. But the true innovators and creatives of the world are going to be in higher demand than ever, in my opinion.
[00:18:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I can't see how.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: It could happen any other way.
[00:18:06] Speaker A: One example that I've heard talked about is kind of within the medical industry and doing assessments and analysis of, I don't know, say X rays.
You know, you go get an X ray, it's a manual process, but then that gets given to a consultant, and you're often waiting for the consultant to review it to then make any conclusions. Now, could that be automated? Well, it's suggested, yes, that could be. And then people are concerned about that person's job. Well, that person, if they've been able to kind of go out and get that job in the first place, they're evidently very motivated, they have a skill. And this is another issue that we Kind of we need to move away from is that we're so results driven and skills driven rather than like thinking about a person's character and development of people's character that we, we kind of miss it. So if someone's skills become redundant, then immediately it's associated that they're redundant. But we've just missed the fact that there's a character here, there's an individual who's driven, who's able to make all these observations that there's no way AI is going to be able to do. And we can move him from this role into a different role where he's adding just as much value. And if you think about kind of scalability, if you're talking about one consultant, you know, maybe it moves from him being able to view, I have no idea, 10x rays an hour, it's probably significantly higher than that. But say that moves to a thousand X rays an hour, like you suddenly just reduce the cost of health care and potentially blessed a load of people who couldn't previously access good health care with this assessment, like, awesome.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: Well, we've also, I think, what we're reaping in the people who are afraid that they're going to lose their jobs. We've ruined our education system for the last 50 years. We've turned our educational systems into vocational training. And so now these people who are only operating in what type of job can I do, what kind of skills do I have? They were not equipped to be able to relearn later in life when inevitably you have to, I mean, go talk to your parents. My dad was in aviation and so the planes that he worked on when he was 18 were drastically different than the ones that he worked on when he was 55. And he had to go to new training for new planes every time they were manufactured and they were purchased by the aviation company that he worked with, he had to go figure out how to work on them too. If you can't relearn, if you can't learn new skills, learn new concepts, then you've been failed by education. Your education is not supposed to just solely prepare you for a job. We need to recapture, and I think this will force us to do so, recapture the idea of training, of education, as in forming a whole person, not just sending them out to do a designation designated job. In our little socialistic society, that's the problem that we've created. We need to be able to generate people who can think well, reason well and educate themselves and relearn as time moves on and the ones who are already able to do so are going to be the ones that thrive.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: No, Absolutely. Yeah. I don't know. I don't feel so worried about my kids that we homeschool and we think about delivering them a holistic Christian classical education. I not concerned.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: No, because they're learning how to think.
They're learning how to think and how to reason. They're learning to be lifelong, ongoing learners. My, my daughter, we taught her how to do some basic SEO work. She got her skills certificate or whatever from one of the websites that she signed up on in order to do something. And so she's got a particular set of skills now that she can apply towards a vocation if she so wants to.
At 15.
At 15, you know, like, that's crazy. And she'll be able to, because of the type of education that she's receiving, a classical ever learning style education, she'll be able to do it again and again and again and again and again.
Because that's the orientation of educating someone rather than just training them for a particular vocation.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: Say, say someone's listening to this and they, I don't know. So they're employed, they're not, they're not thinking loads about kind of business strategy or anything like that, but they are thinking, you know, AI is out there.
How can it save me time today? How can it enable me to spend time on the things that I need to think more about? Kind of the stuff, the value that I'm adding, how can I implement it within my, my role to better bless my employer or free up my head to think about starting a side hustle? What, what would you say?
[00:22:37] Speaker B: So I would go back to one of the earlier things that you said. Drafting emails, drafting communications is helpful. Drafting public communications is also helpful. Some of several of our clients are municipalities or public entities. And so we'll utilize AI tools to be able to draft some of those publications. Now, again, he stresses, you have to babysit it and it may never be considered a final whenever it produces, but it will get you started in a pretty decent way.
Now, something else that I've found that specifically like ChatGPT is very good at doing is planning. It's very, very effective at getting you started in the planning process because there is, there's the dreaded blank sheet of paper syndrome that people kind of have. They stare at a big white screen, they start a big whiteboard and they say, okay, where do I start?
One of the benefits of a GPT is that you put in and say, hey, I'M trying to do this in six months.
Help me plan out the way to do it the most effectively. I've got five months worth of planning and one month of execution. Enter and then it'll kick you a schedule, it'll kick you a routine and ideas. Now again, granted, about 25% to 30% of that you're going to have to just go in and cut out entirely. But it's very helpful at overcoming that first step of okay, what do I do? How do I think through this thing? I find that to be a great strategy. So if your job or your career has any type of planning or any type of long term goal setting, this would be a good mechanism for you to utilize.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's one I hadn't thought of. Haven't tried such a thing in.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: I like it a lot. I've utilized it in three or four different scenarios and it works pretty effectively. Works pretty effectively.
You'll also find something fascinating that I see today is in the advent of AI. People can smell it like they can smell whenever the content that you're putting out on the Internet is just AI generated.
And there's this general reaction of distaste.
Isn't that interesting? There's this general reaction of it's AI. I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for, I'm looking for something more than that. I find that fascinating. Have you seen that?
[00:24:58] Speaker A: I mean I, I partly agree with that, but I all disagree.
So yeah, like if I receive an email, I'd like to know that it's not written by a ChatGPT or a robot or if there's a piece of content that I'm reading. Yeah, I'd agree the same, but the value of communication is high.
And one of the questions, so like, you know, we could end up in this state where you've got two AI agents, you've fed something in, you want to find out a piece of information and it then emails another agent and then they spend some time chatting to each other. I don't have a problem with that. I think that's fantastic in that if we can speed up that communication time and this can then output more data after doing some iterations between itself, then we can make better decisions on this thing here and we've just saved a load of time. I think that's a fantastic idea. I don't have a problem with two, two things talking to each other. I mean, and again with, with the AI generated content. Because this is a question that I want to ask you in the Marketing space.
I don't think there's a. Yeah, the perceived value that reading like an AI generated LinkedIn post or whatever it might be is lower.
But is it still a value? Is there, is there more value than if it wasn't there?
I would pose yes.
Okay, so yeah, it's not ideal, I'll give you that. But if you're able to generate something that was of help to someone, then you've added value. So I think that the idea that like people are going to go out and honestly I think these are the people who are just going to kind of are going to be the dinosaurs who are like, oh no, that LinkedIn post is AI generated. Like, stop doing it. AI is going to be rubbish. That's rubbish. That's rubbish.
Well, it's not.
And that's the kind of fun thing here. It's not rubbish, but you're there just deciding that the value is not there because of the way that it was produced rather than the actual thing itself. And obviously we want to review what the output was and we want to say, okay, would I put my name to that? Yes or no. But there's still value in it. And I think that's the fun thing. And if we can speed up communication through it, like that's going to be a blessing. But in the marketing space, then, Stuart, you're obviously in the marketing space.
I do, I use, use ChatGPT to help me structure LinkedIn posts. And like, I feel like anyone who isn't doing that, you should probably be doing that.
[00:27:20] Speaker B: So I, what I advocate for people is a couple of things. So one, I like to use AI tools like a GPT to create voice and tone bots. We do that all the time with our client base. So what that basically means is we figure out how this particular client wants to sound, we'll input some data and then we'll run it through a GPT and then out will come, here's how this generally should sound.
Coming from this particular perspective that we programmed in, I find it very helpful. Now you still have to go back in, babysit, make some edits and revisions and things like that, but now we're able to do a lot more, a lot faster to be able to communicate that way. I also like AI for the generation of like certain images. So images, social content typically performs better whenever there's images, images attached to it. And now you've got a tool where you can input a prompt and get out an image that will fit with the content that you're creating. That's gold, man. I think that's easy and people aren't going to complain. I've found at least that you didn't hire a graphic designer and pay them $150 an hour in order to create the little image for your LinkedIn post. I think that that's going to be a very quick and easy way for this particular tool to move into the market.
But the idea behind the content, okay. And the, the rhetoric devices behind the content and the, the way it's communicated, that engine has to be human, in my opinion. Like, if you are, if you sit down at your AI GPT and you say, write me a month's worth of LinkedIn posts on AI and marketing, enter, it'll do it.
But in my opinion, it doesn't have the rhetorical skill of a human being. It can't get there yet. It doesn't have the ability to communicate personably the way that a human being would. Regardless of how hard you input voice and tone guidelines, it has a difficult time doing it. And it seems to have this love of adjectives, you know, like it just. That's how it, I think, attempts to sound more human. Just a lot of ly words. But it's not to say that it'll never be there. So I like to use it to be able to overcome kind of like getting started, to push the ball first up the hill to try and get things rolling. I like to use it for image generation. I find it very beneficial for that. I like to use it for voice and tone guidelines as a general principle. But the creative and the rhetorical devices need to be human, the initiative needs to be human, and then the, the back end, the last, I'd say 25 to 30% of the overall project also kind of needs to be human in order to perform well.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: Yep.
Yeah.
[00:30:14] Speaker B: But I also write a lot just on my own.
So for the person who doesn't, it's. It's a little difficult for me to put myself in their shoes because just of the amount of stuff that I write every week, as a general rule. So for people who don't do that, it probably would give them a lot of benefit to get started with something like that. But as far as inside of content creation and the best ways forward, I would say find ways to communicate in your voice as best you can and then take the next step.
[00:30:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:30:46] Speaker B: One of the things that's, like, interesting to me, though, I'm going to steal the conversation a little bit before we wrap up. One of the things that's interesting to me is how much people are trusting AI as their search engine.
After we went through something like 2020, I just, I find that fascinating.
So 2020 worldwide, and everybody admits it. Now, search engines, social media engines, they were openly censoring search results, handpicking search results in order to suppress and exalt other information. Right. So this was just a common practice that happened then. And everybody, generally speaking, was like, oh, this is a problem. We probably shouldn't do that anymore.
Well, then enter AI.
I hear reports and I see reports that more and more people are utilizing it as a search indexing tool, like as a search engine. Okay.
But the way that AI works is it's, it's not feeding you primary sources or secondary sources that you can go and read for your yourself. It's actually packaging it and then censoring, filtering it automatically and then feeding you back a response. Now, it'll give you the sites that it's read.
But it looks like what we've put into our workflow is something that has the potential to package and censor more than what we just dealt with and decided was bad back in 2020. Isn't that fascinating?
[00:32:24] Speaker A: Yeah. And as it summarizes those things, it takes away information. You know, you've got, you've got Adobe offering to summarize 50 page documents for you. Well, what's it removing as it summarizes those things?
[00:32:35] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: And I think any conversation, you know, let's pick something super contentious like vaccines. Okay. So you could have a conversation with many people and they could argue like, yeah, vaccines are good, or no, they're not. Okay. And therefore there's not, there's not kind of substantial kind of findings, research, whatever, to kind of say which one is correct. Okay. Now that means there's not the, there's not kind of the study out there. There's not kind of the information sufficient for one party to, I don't know, decide that they're right over the other.
So AI is not going to be able to make that conclusion for you. So anything where we're like, I've got an opinion on X, you've got an opinion on Y, we're not going to come to any conclusion. AI is not going to help in that sphere. You're still going to have to make a decision, find the data, read the sources.
So it kind of just points again to the fact that there's nothing new under the sun and there are limits to what it can do.
Yeah.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: Amen. Amen. All right, Tom, any closing thoughts? You have for us regarding the end of the world and the ascent of the Terminator.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: It's not going to happen. And I suppose my closing piece, I think Christians should be talking about AI and kind of the blessing it is. Yes. And how we should be excited about it. And like this is. This truly is a tool given to us by God. We should steward it wisely and we shouldn't be fearful of it.
[00:34:03] Speaker B: Amen. I'm behind that 100%. Well, thank you guys so much for listening to another episode of A Brit and a Yank Talk Business.
