You must hear a lot of rebuttals to this when you say it because people experience a huge amount of mental discomfort when they hear that their job, their career, the thing they got a degree in, the thing they invested $100,000 into is going to be taken away from them.

So their natural reaction, for some people, is that cognitive dissonance that, no, you're wrong, AI can't be creative, it's not this, it's not that, it'll never

be interested in my job, I'll be fine because. You hear these arguments all the time, right?

It's really funny. I ask people and I ask people in different occupations. I'll ask my Uber

driver, are you worried about

self-driving cars? And they go, no, no one can do what I do. I know the streets of New York.

I can navigate like no AI. I'm safe. And it's true for any job. Professors are saying this

to me. Oh, nobody can lecture like I do. Like, this is so special. But you understand,

it's ridiculous. We already have self-driving cars replacing drivers. That is not even a question

if it's possible. It's like, how soon before you fired? Yeah, I mean, I've just been in

L.A. yesterday and my car drives itself. So I get in the car. I put in where I want to go, and then I don't touch the steering wheel or the brake pedals. And it takes me from A to B, even if it's an hour-long drive without any intervention at all. I actually, I still park it. But other than that, I'm not driving the car at all. And obviously in LA we also have Waymo now, which means you order it on your phone, and it shows up with no driver in it and takes you to where you want to go. Oh, yeah. So it's quite clearly to see how that is potentially a matter of time. For those people, because we do have some of those people listening to this conversation right now, their occupation is driving. To offer them a, and I think driving is the biggest occupation in the world, if I'm

correct. I'm pretty sure it is the biggest occupation in the world. It would be one of the top ones,

yeah. What would you say to those people? What should they be doing with their lives? What should

they, should they be retraining in

something or what timeframe? So that's the paradigm shift here. Before we always said this job

is going to be automated, retrained to do this other job. But if I'm telling you that all jobs

will be automated, then there is no plan B. You cannot retrain.

Look at computer science.

Two years ago, we told people, learn to code.

You are an artist, you cannot make money, learn to code.

Then we realized, oh, AI kind of knows how to code and getting better.

Become a prompt engineer. You can engineer prompts for AI. It's going to be and getting better. Become a prompt engineer.
