| 0:00.0 | In this lesson's episode, we're talking about why AI terrifies you. |
| 0:04.1 | It just proved what you do isn't as special as what you thought, |
| 0:08.1 | because now you're watching a machine do your job in seconds, |
| 0:11.6 | and you're feeling your entire professional identity crack apart. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm going to talk about what separates people AI will replace from people it can't touch |
