  So the timing of the AI is absolutely fascinating and frightening to me because it comes at
• 0:10
  a time where we're losing this trust in all of our institutions, which I do believe is
• 0:14
  on purpose, but we're losing trust in religion, we're losing trust in the media, we're definitely
• 0:18
  losing a hell of a lot of trust in government right now.
• 0:21
  We saw how many of the MAGA got burned.
• 0:22
  I mean, I feel for those people, I don't mean to make fun of the MAGA people, but
• 0:26
  I mean, if you're still MAGA, I'm going to go ahead and make fun of you.
• 0:29
  But I mean, like the people who got burned, like I got a good friend, he used to wear the
• 0:32
  hat and everything, he had to literally burn his hat in response to the fact that they
• 0:36
  refused to release the Epstein files.
• 0:38
  Everybody had a final straw and the straw broke for a lot of folks when Trump went against
• 0:42
  Tucker and the podcasters and all the people that helped him get elected and this and that.
• 0:47
  But again, we're deep fakes.
• 0:49
  So AI comes in and now you don't even know what to trust.
• 0:51
  You can't trust your own eyes.
• 0:53
  You literally can't even tell if I'm real.
• 0:56
  I mean, Charlie knows, well, Charlie doesn't even know technically that I'm real,
• 0:59
  but he can assume that I'm real.
• 1:01
  You out there watching can assume that I'm real.
• 1:02
  But do you know for a fact that I'm real?
• 1:05
  Y'all who know me know I'm a big fan of Bill Cooper.
• 1:07
  Bill Cooper used to say all the time, don't believe anything unless you
• 1:10
  can prove it with your own research.
• 1:12
  And now we come to the real problem because it's getting very difficult,
• 1:17
  if not impossible to do that because everything that we're looking at is either AI
• 1:21
  slop generated or and I'm using the term slop loosely here.
• 1:27
  I mean, just in general, there's a lot of people making
• 1:29
  long form and short form content, writing articles and stuff,
• 1:32
  even mainstream outlets, but they're relying on chatbots to do so.
• 1:37
  And we now know that the chatbots, they are given a set of information,
• 1:43
  which is allegedly the world.
• 1:44
  They're like, oh, yeah, they've been allowed to the world.
• 1:46
  Well, you find out, well, actually, they haven't been allowed to access
• 1:48
  all the books inside the library of Alexandria.
• 1:50
  They haven't finished with the Bible yet, whatever.
• 1:53
  But in general, we get this idea that, oh, they know everything.
• 1:56
  No, they don't.
• 1:57
  They just search the internet faster than the rest of us.
• 2:00
  Can you as a person for 100 years searching the internet
• 2:02
  feel like you know everything?
• 2:04
  Probably not.
• 2:05
  So that's a misnomer right there.
• 2:06
  But we're relying on these things to create, what, more content.
• 2:10
  So now let's say, oh, I don't want to pay attention to the AI.
• 2:13
  I'm going to go search online the old fashioned way.
• 2:16
  And I'm going to gather a ton of sources and do some research.
• 2:18
  Well, shoot, now it's extra harder for you to vet those sources
• 2:21
  because you don't even know if at the end of the day, an AI wrote that.
• 2:25
  And where did the AI get its sources?
• 2:26
  So it's like, we're in a very tricky situation now
• 2:28
  where you literally can't believe anything, anything, anything.
• 2:32
  And it's like, what do you do with that?
