| 0:00.0 | Casey, something horrible has happened. |
| 0:01.9 | What's that? |
| 0:02.5 | My wife has fallen in love with an AI. |
| 0:04.6 | Which AI? |
| 0:07.6 | So for background, my wife is not like a very techy person. |
| 0:12.5 | She's not an early adopter. |
| 0:13.6 | She works in city government. |
| 0:15.1 | She's like a regular adopter. |
| 0:16.7 | Like when it gets good, she's interested. |
| 0:18.8 | But don't talk to her before then. |
| 0:20.3 | Exactly. |
| 0:20.9 | And it just got good enough for her to take an interest. |
