| 0:05.0 | production. Hi, I'm Otto. Welcome to Ellen Sarah's podcast. You are not going to want to miss this |
| 0:17.8 | episode. I'm telling you, I don't say that about all of our episodes. I'm telling you, you don't want to miss this episode. I think I like you, like so many |
| 0:27.1 | of you, have been very curious about what is going on in AI. What is AI? What are the tools that |
| 0:34.5 | we are supposed to be using and not using? How is this going to positively impact our lives and our children's lives, but also how |
| 0:41.0 | negatively will it impact their lives and our lives? |
| 0:45.5 | I do think that things are changing every day. |
| 0:48.4 | We're all just trying to understand what is happening. |
| 0:51.1 | I know for me, I've felt like this is a train. |
| 0:54.1 | This is a moving train, |

I feel like chat GPT has replaced Google for me at this point. I'm using it to design rooms. I'm using it to ask questions about my health. I'm uploading my |
| 2:01.6 | test results. I mean, I talk to her about all of this, but there are a lot of things that I don't |
| 2:06.8 | understand. And there are definitely tools that people I know were using to really make their life |
| 2:14.5 | easier, which I'm hesitant about. So I just, I ask her all the things I've wanted to know. |
