Hey, welcome. We still have Steve Argyle.

Dan's still in Japan. We're going to talk about a very not controversial topic about AI.

You mentioned, like if you want to get spicy, we can talk about AI. We haven't done it a lot on the podcast. So we probably

ought to talk about this. I mean, we're creatives. And yeah. And that is a big thing in our industry

I can't believe it's like everywhere. Like I open a new word document and I have to go turn off AI things that wants to write my story for me.

there's no like feature that our team could turn off.

started writing, you'd write the whole thing for you. Like, that's part of what's bugging me about AI.

Like kind of force feeding. Yeah. It's like it's everywhere and it's force-feeding. And it's already annoying.

Like when I get this new computer, the number of things I have to turn off on Microsoft Word,

like there's the grammar check, right?
