Bill: It’s a little bit unknown. Will we be able to shape it? And so, legitimately, people are like, Wow, this is — this is a bit scary. It’s completely new territory.
Jimmy: I mean, will we still need humans?
Bill: Not for most things.
Jimmy: Everyone’s talking about A.I., and that’s — that’s the big topic, everyone says how’s it going to take over and all this stuff, and it’s bad or it’s good or we don’t know. What are the pros and cons for, in layman’s terms, for someone like me?
Bill: Yeah. So the era we’ve come to is sort of the vision that computing was expensive and it basically became free. The era that we’re just starting is that intelligence is rare. You know, a great doctor, a great teacher. And with A.I., over the next decade, that will become free, Commonplace, you know? Great medical advice, great tutoring. And it’s kind of profound because it solves all these specific problems, like we don’t have enough doctors or, you know, mental-health professionals, but it brings with it kind of so much change. You know, what will jobs be like? Should we, you know, just work like 2 or 3 days a week? So I love the way it’ll drive innovation forward, but I think it’s a little bit unknown. Will we be able to shape it? And so, legitimately, people are like, “Wow, this is — this is a bit scary.” It’s completely new territory.
