“My opinion of what AI does for all of us is it brings us up to basically from incompetence to competent at anything it can do. So if you can't Photoshop. You know, you can now Photoshop, you can't do it as well as an actual designer, but now you can. If you couldn't figure out how to write a press release, if you don't know how to write a business plan or go to market strategy or whatever the thing you're trying to get done it'll do it. And it'll do an average job because the bulk of LLMs are built on the massive content and the massive content is average.”
