  Speaker 3: We just got to go you know, right now, we're
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: exporting to them about you know, there's individuals with net
• 1:34

  Speaker 3: kind of a you know, a pee in the ocean.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Really we need to be you know, we need to

  Speaker 3: promised by I think by February March next year, we
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: should have free trade Tara free agreement to get our
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: land into into India. Yeah, well, I think that's I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: sort of allowing for the sort of the sort of
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: sign off period. I mean, I'm just trying to I'm
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: trying to be super friendly here.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: All bad though, I mean, Hamish we were talking about,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think everybody sort of had a bit
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of a snigger when they said they'd be able to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do it in their first term. They'd be remarkable.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah it would be, it would be. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: we need it, We need it, you know. I just
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: worrying me though, what it might do for the local
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: home consumer. Who know, the old day out of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: supermarket is thirty dollars leg of lamb and whacking it
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: in the freezer and when the kids are home from unions.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I think that's gone unfortunately.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, what are you doing with your phone? Hamish?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Can Hamish? We can't hear you. Can you just pull
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: your phone away from your face and look if the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: mute buttons being pressed by your cheek?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Please? Oh is that better?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Did you do that better?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Now? Yeah?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I can hear you now that was really well, well.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just getting carried away, Hamish.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to withdraw my invitation to come
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: on the show now, ham Mush, listen, talk to me
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: about beef and lamb. Trying to get the farmers to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: use AI. What do they what do they expect the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: farmers to use AI for?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: So this thing that they've got is called ask Bella.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Bella's obviously you know she is the thing you need
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to get online with Beef and Lamb. It's the AI assistant.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So you've got you know how when you go in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: there and you search up and you get them, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: get all the information, but you don't get the answers. Well,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you know, Bella, Bella, I've got these fly struck lambs.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: What should I do? How you should get the shares
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: out and then apply X Y Z. It gives you
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the answers. Bello goes for the answers. So it's like
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: having millions and millions of encyclopedia, you know, all that
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: knowledge that probably exists in the Lincoln University College Library,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: but the answers come to you. So it's just good
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: practical information. When is the best time to spray my
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Scotch thistles? You know, I mean, I'm trying to sound
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: like Bella, but you know what I mean. It seems
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: like an incredibly practical tool to me and sensible, you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you know, I think it's I think it's a great
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: thing that Beef and Lamb have come up with here
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as Bella.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why not Hamish? They tell me actually that you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: were on the sports Tudle on Friday when I was
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: away so you've already started to the connection between ourselves
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and you was already started.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: The infiltration has begun.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Love it? Yeah, Hamish, thanks so much mate, look after yourself.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Good luck making your phone work for you. That's Hamish
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: mackay hosting the Country Role. Jamie's away actually on what
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Hamish was talking about the next step with AI. Because
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of course you can ask AI already right with the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: large language model programs and stuff. You type all your
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: questions in, whether it's Bella or Olive with Wilworth's whatever
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they can. You can interact like that. But the next
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: step seems to me that we need to be able
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to actually talk to AI in the way that you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: talk to Siri. Have you not? Have you thought this?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Because look what happened was I was sitting in the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: spa last night. What a way to start a story.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I was sitting in the spar last night, and I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: don't have my phone in the spa because I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: it's very healthy to have time away from your phone.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And so I thought to myself, I thought, oh, Jason's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: coming to see us this week. Can I know the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: kids will want to get in the spa. I wonder
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: what the weather's going to be like And I thought
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: at that point, wouldn't it be nice to just be
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: able to say to AI, Hey, whatever you've called your AI?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: In my case, obviously it would be Barry, So hey, Barry,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: what's the weather forecast for Saturday? And then the AI
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: can just tell you and then you can put that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: one to bed and never mind and that that's it done, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Don't you don't carry the mental load of having to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: remember when I get out of the spar I've got
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to go find my phone it because I forgot by
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the way. So now I've got a back in my brain.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I've got to do the thing anyway. That is where
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: AI has got to go. But the question, of course
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: is then how do you get AI to have, like
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: how do you integrate it in your life so that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it's there prepared to answer your questions. Now I know
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that Jason Paris from One New Zealand, who was like
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: nutty about AI, does drive with some sort of like
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: hands free thing where he talks to his AI. Most
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of us can't, though, So what do you do do you?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Is it a pin that sits on your lapel and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you press the pin and you go as AI the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: question or is it those stupid glasses that Zuckerberg was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: trying the other day where you know, you talk to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: your glasses while it's looking at the menu for you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That is the next place this has got to go,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: because this is the limitation of AI, isn't it that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it's really cool, but you've got to sit there typing
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: into your keyboard and somehow you have to make it
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: integrated in our lives. So it really just does all
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the cool stuff for us. Anyway, that's the thing to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: think about. And if you'll sit in there going, I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: very good at computers, well, then can you solve this
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: problem for us?
• 6:31
