From the transcript
And however, you know, as we all know, um, AI is kind of like this drunken car, you know, going 200 miles an hour, you know, down a busy street, and there's no guardrails or very little guardrails. And that's the scary part, you know. And I think that, you know, that's where where everybody needs to be critical about discussing what's going on and so forth. So anyway, some of my digital work from 10 years ago, if you look at part of it, you can see that— well, I can see it. I can look at my artwork and go, oh my God, that's where AI kind of made a mistake.
