Latest / The DEX Show: A Show for IT Change Makers / When AI meets automation w/ Charles Araujo
Transcript
- 0:01Welcome it, change Makers to the deck Show with Tim Flower and Tom McGraw.
- 0:06Let's get into it. Hello, change Makers, it's another deck show
- 0:11for you, and we're Tim and I here together again and we're very excited
- 0:17to welcome one of our one of our favorite guests, one of our smartest
- 0:21guests, and the guests from one of our most successful episodes of two thousand
- 0:26and twenty two, although the episode was actually recorded at the very very end
- 0:32of two thousand and twenty twenty one, and that's Charles or Ayo. Hi,
- 0:35Charles, It's great to see you, Agamon, great to see you.
- 0:39And I feel like a little bit like, you know, I'm one
- 0:42one of those dates with a serial dater where it's like I com ond you
- 0:45tell all the girls that no, no, no, we don't have we
- 0:48don't we don't do second dates too often. Here I'm a deck show.
- 0:53It was also it was also it was not only one of my favorite,
- 0:56one of our favorite episodes, one of our listeners favorite episodes, more important,
- 1:00one of the as I say, when the first popular last year,
- 1:02but it was also it's also my favorite episode title Commodore sixty four and a
- 1:07Screwdriver obviously referring if we record this for cocktail, not the not the mechanically.
- 1:15You know, for all those reasons and more, childs, we have
- 1:18you back on and listen. Just if anybody doesn't it hasn't heard the first
- 1:23of your appearances. You are, you're a publisher for Digital Experience Report,
- 1:26You're an analystous speaker, you're a best selling author, and I think always
- 1:30a great way to start a conversation with your childs just to hear about what
- 1:34you what you what you're thinking about at the moment, was your what's your
- 1:37attention focused upon? So I guess you know I'm boring. It's the same
- 1:44stuff, you know, it's it partially, it's this frustration I get.
- 1:48I know we're probably gonna talk about it later because we can't help but talk
- 1:52about things like chat, GPT and AYI and all the hypeend buzz, and
- 1:56you know, our industry is just horrible. It's see, it's like we
- 2:00go chase the next shiny thing. But if you want to be successful,
- 2:05if you want to actually drive transformation, if you want to actually deliver outcomes,
- 2:10it's almost always about the basics. It's the blocking and tackling and so
- 2:15I'm still very focused on a lot of the basics. I just published a
- 2:20piece of analysis talking about the fact that why data is so critical, and
- 2:27yet there is a study actually by Salesforce that just got released a couple of
- 2:30days ago that's saying, you know, like eighty some huge percentage of executives
- 2:34totally agree with how important data is, and then how like astronomically small of
- 2:38a percentage of organizations are actually using it in any meaningful way. And you
- 2:44find this across every different spectrum. It's like we get all hyped up about
- 2:47something, but the stuff that we should be doing, the blocking, tackling,
- 2:52the things like organizational design. I mean, I can rant on forever
- 2:55about these, right, the basic stuff that actually delivers results we just give
- 3:01a lot of lip service to and don't put enough focused on. So I'm
- 3:04still very much focused on these kind of the basics and just let's just actually
- 3:09get this stuff done once and for all. And I'm talking about getting it
- 3:15done. There was I remember, you know, obviously when we last spoke,
- 3:19middle of the pandemic, even though it was kind of about to enter
- 3:22the post pandemic era, I think fair to say, and there was all
- 3:27this talk of COVID, the transformative effect of COVID, you felt it was
- 3:31a little overstated, maybe for this reason that you know, there's a lot
- 3:35of hype and fluff and not enough attending to those basics that you mentioned.
- 3:39I mean, is that where you feel we are today has in some wave
- 3:43of a post pandemic era been more transformative from the pandemic era, if only
- 3:49because some of the effects of the former have been felt more fully. Or
- 3:53are you still just quite skeptical of there's a lot of a lot more talque
- 3:58than action. I'm sort of middle of the road both on this um being
- 4:05an old consultant. It depends, you know. I think the challenge around
- 4:10this is that, on the one hand, any change right takes a long
- 4:15time. And that was that was what I was bristling at when people were
- 4:18making these these big, grandiose statements about, you know, more transformation in
- 4:23three months, and we saw in ten years not really right. That was
- 4:26surface level stuff. And so I think we're seeing that the actual transformative process
- 4:31happens very slowly. It requires deliberation or requires focus, and that is happening
- 4:36now. What I do think is interesting is and This is the part of
- 4:41that story I agree with is that there has been more significant movement in the
- 4:46last say, twelve to eighteen months of people being fully prepared to make much
- 4:55more significant change. The challenge, I mean, going back to this whole
- 4:59data thing, just because it's time of mind for me, is that the
- 5:02foundation of what it takes to make that change is still hard and will always
- 5:08be hard. I'm working on another I'm calling them deep dives now, right,
- 5:12but the sort of deeper analysis focused on some of the challenges around you,
- 5:15the gains or the lack of gains in automation that we're starting to see
- 5:18now, and that a lot of that is that what we're running into is
- 5:23that the the what is necessary to sort of get the same gains that we
- 5:29used to get by simply applying any technology to drive efficiency while all the low
- 5:32hanging fruits been picked, and so now we need to start dealing with the
- 5:36big hairy problems, the cross functional end to end process gaps. And that's
- 5:43why things like process mining are becoming such a huge deal now. And that's
- 5:46hard. That's really really hard to do from not only a technology perspective,
- 5:50but from the organizational change and the behavioral change that's necessary to do that.
- 5:56So the good news is, I think we're starting to have the conversations.
- 5:59I think we're I feel like when I'm talking to folks now, we're past
- 6:03that hype that, you know, oh my gosh, all the stuff,
- 6:06and they're starting to get to the real change that is starting to take effect.
- 6:12But it's always and I'm not a big fan of almost most of the
- 6:15stuff that Gardner does, but the hype cycle was probably one of the most
- 6:19you know, dead on analyzes of how things go. And we see that
- 6:24play out over and over and over again. And so I think we're in
- 6:27that right now, right where a lot of these things I got super hyped
- 6:30up during the pandemic. We're approaching that trough of despair or whatever it's called,
- 6:33right where we all sort of forget about it, and that's when all
- 6:36the real change starts to happen. The one I am watching of all of
- 6:41that, and I'm sorry if I'm jumping ahead, I don't remember, but
- 6:44that I am watching very carefully is the whole remote work with the return to
- 6:49office thing and the dynamics changing there. I'm you know, we'll see I
- 6:53maybe I may have been wrong on that one as far as I thought that
- 6:56we were going to see a stall, but this was the tipping point to
- 6:59a lasting change, and the threat of the recession has caused a massive turn
- 7:03back where employees have lost a little bit of their leverage and organizations right now
- 7:09are putting pretty deep stakes in the ground saying, hey, you need to
- 7:12get back to the office. So we'll see if this is the last gasp
- 7:16or if this represents a miss in terms of we're not going to see a
- 7:20bigger shift, We'll see totally. Yeah, we had We had Jacob Morgan
- 7:26on the show very recently, and he was saying that the pendulum is swinging
- 7:30back towards employers, or that it's swung too far in favor of employees.
- 7:34And one of the things that's important for everybody concerned that we have a kind
- 7:39of a united front and a kind of a proper relationship fundamentally between employers and
- 7:45employees is that we have a common workspace and workplace. There's an opinion a
- 7:49lot of people have. It's when I find difficult to relate to myself since
- 7:55I work for an international company and I've been working around from home for years
- 7:59and feel quite ncted simultaneously to it. I mean, what's your view in
- 8:03general employee power dynamic jaws, Well, so I think so. I think
- 8:09we should differentiate between three different things here. One is exactly that there's a
- 8:15power dynamic, the leverage. Who has the leverage to dictate the terms of
- 8:18the relationship the employee of the employer. For arguably the last decade, it's
- 8:22been the employee, particularly in tech companies, particularly in anything where we were
- 8:26looking at these highly skilled workers that were in limited supply, the employee was
- 8:31in control. So there's no question that the power dynamic the leverage has shifted
- 8:37across the board. And we can talk more about that in a second.
- 8:41But I think it's important not to lump everything together. There's two other there's
- 8:46the then the element of employee productivity, collaboration, innovation, and then there's
- 8:50the idea of the employee experience, and all three of those need to be
- 8:54looked at distinctly. So my opinions on the last two haven't changed it at
- 8:56all. Right, that the driver of productivity and innovation in some cases is
- 9:03going to be benefited by in place work, but most of the time it's
- 9:07not. There's plenty of good data now that shows that people are actually more
- 9:11creative, more innovative when they're working independently, have the opportunity to come together
- 9:16to collaborate in very specific moments of the creative process and the creation process,
- 9:22and there's plenty of evidence that shows that we actually drop we would see losses
- 9:26in productivity with people in the office because of all the you know, water
- 9:31cooler stuff, and so I think there's cases. I'm a huge fan of
- 9:33hotelling. I'm a huge fan of organizations having an office space to allow people
- 9:37to come together. But I think this is a you know, this is
- 9:41a power dynamic play that people want to exert the executives want to exert control,
- 9:46and that's all this is. And then the last element of this,
- 9:48the employee experience, I think is critical because despite all the purported layoffs,
- 9:56and I don't want to say that's like, obviously the layoffs are happening,
- 9:58but I think people may did a much bigger deal than it actually is from
- 10:01macroeconomic standpoint. The reality is that if you are in a competitive space,
- 10:07you are still competing for employees, and employees are still selecting to choosing to
- 10:11work with organizations who are delivering a better cohesive employee experience because they're able to
- 10:18get more more done, they're more productive, they have a more enjoyable process,
- 10:22and that is better for them as from a career standpoint, because that
- 10:26then leads to better outcomes that they can tout on their resume, and you
- 10:28know, and it ultimately is a great indicator of a successful company. So
- 10:33if I look at these three things, there's no question that paradynamic has shifted.
- 10:37I don't think the fundamentals of the other two have shifted at all.
- 10:41And then my last little comment on the paradynamics is there's a really fascinating article
- 10:46that came out a couple of weeks ago from Fast Company that talked about the
- 10:48fact that even that all these layoffs, it's it's fast followers stuff, it's
- 10:54it's groupthink. That there's this really interesting number that the average is, like,
- 11:00they're almost all at right at six percent, and six percent is the
- 11:03number that the street, i mean Wall Street investors say, oh, they're
- 11:07cutting the fat, that's great, and employees, it's not a deep enough
- 11:11cut that they're freaking out and running for the hills and so it's like this
- 11:13carefully calibrated hit that these large tech companies are having to do just to sort
- 11:18of strike this balance. But it's not based on any fundamentals where there's weakness
- 11:22in the market or anything. So it's a very interesting sort of space,
- 11:26and I think people are mostly reading too much into sort of what's happened.
- 11:31So Charles, let's touch out a little bit on that employee experience. We
- 11:33just recorded an episode that talked specifically about how an employee experience capability benefits enterprise.
- 11:41It and specifically the enterprise it helped USK, but many enterprises have a
- 11:48customer facing HELPDUSK as well, and when they have a poor experience, it
- 11:52translates into bad consumer experience. Think about when you call your cell phone provider
- 11:58or your cable company or your insurance carrier and their PC has to reboot or
- 12:01blue screens in the middle of the phone call. It impacts that customer experience.
- 12:07Where do you feel that kind of the dynamic between employee experience and customer
- 12:11experience? Where does that sit now in twenty twenty three, Is there really
- 12:15an appreciation in large enterprise and is that increasing or is it decreasing? So
- 12:24again, I think what it's really important to segregate perception from reality, or
- 12:28the fact from the way people see it. The fact is, again the
- 12:33fundamentals, in my opinion, are undeniable. You can prove it with data,
- 12:39you can prove an anecdotally. I tell a story of my father several
- 12:43years ago, and I won't name them, but a large cell phone provider,
- 12:46and he had some minor issue whatever was I forgot what. He had
- 12:50to go try to return something. And he went in there and the employee
- 12:54was super helpful, super friendly, super engage, all the things you'd want
- 12:58to deliver a great customer experience, could not make the system on the back
- 13:01end do what needed to be done to solve my father's problem. Finally had
- 13:05to say, you know, I think this is because you bought this other
- 13:09story. You need to go there. So now my dad gets in a
- 13:11car, drives fifteen minutes to the other store, gets there. That guy
- 13:15still can't figure out, finally does the right thing and says, you know
- 13:16what, here you go, here's this thing that you need to just forget
- 13:20about it. I'll deal with on the back end. But this wasn't a
- 13:22point of where the bad employee experience was very directly creating a horrible customer experience,
- 13:28even when all that expensive customer service and customer experience training they invested in
- 13:33paid off. These guys were doing all the right things and their systems were
- 13:35in their way. And I can you know, I've countless stories that executives
- 13:39have shared with me about these sorts of things. So to me, it's
- 13:43undeniable the relationship between the employee experience and the customer experience. What I do
- 13:48think we're seeing right now, though, is is because that relationship is still
- 13:56hard to quantify. It's hard to make these very direct connections for a whole
- 14:01bunch of reasons. Executives were always sort of suspect, always sort of like,
- 14:07Okay, I get it, it makes sense, but is it going
- 14:09to rise to the top of my investment plan or restiment portfolio. And I
- 14:15think with this leverage shift that we talked about, it's actually become harder even
- 14:20if somebody wants to justify it harder to do so, right, because the
- 14:24argument used to be, hey, we need to go compete with these employees.
- 14:26They've got all this leverage, and now that argument has fallen away.
- 14:30So now you the only way you can really make these these claims is by
- 14:35directly connecting to that customer outcome. And as we've shown, that's hard to
- 14:39do, not impossible, but it takes a lot more work. And it's
- 14:41where tools like yours help, right you start getting data. What we need
- 14:43is data around all of it. But it is definitely a challenge, and
- 14:48I think as a result, we've seen certainly a lot less interest in the
- 14:52employee experienced side of things. Yeah, there's this concept that there's I think
- 14:58it was a ten x difference in the aversion to losing revenue or losing benefit
- 15:05versus the excitement of gaining revenue or gaining benefits. For every dollar you would
- 15:09gain, you have a ten x aversion to losing revenue. So it's maybe
- 15:15that's a concept that we need to push on a little bit more. Um
- 15:18But let's let's talk a little bit about kind of the the other parts of
- 15:24employee experience and specifically things that touch on the the IT folks. And I
- 15:31know you've been interested for a long time and the impact of automation and AI
- 15:35chat GPT is on the tip of everyone's tongues right now. It really took
- 15:39off at its launch. What are you What are your thoughts on chat GPT
- 15:43and how it's been received. Is it a game changer or is it?
- 15:46Is it not as big a deal as everyone is making it out to me?
- 15:52Oh gosh. So I'm working on another deep dive on this particular topic,
- 16:00and I'm really struggling because I generally don't don't weigh in on these hyper
- 16:07trendy topics because there's so much incoming spilled on it. But I'm a contrarian
- 16:11on this. I you know, I've talked to a couple of executives who
- 16:14like it, executives who are all in on it, who think it's fabulous.
- 16:17And I think it has its uses, um, particularly particularly with like
- 16:22closed data sets, Like if if I'm going to feed it a meeting notes
- 16:26and say summarize this, it's going to do a pretty good job with that.
- 16:30UM. There's so there are use cases where it makes sense. UM.
- 16:33I've got two, maybe three major issues with the whole generative AI space.
- 16:41UM. And I guess I should be more specific specifically with you know,
- 16:45large learning model based generative AI that the fundamental way it works is it
- 16:52has zero context, It has no understanding what some people in the AI community
- 16:56called the semantic layer, no understanding of the underlying concepts. It is literally
- 17:02just putting words together, and because those language models are so high, it
- 17:06does a pretty dang good job of guessing what that next word is. But
- 17:11because it's missing that contextual layer, we have absolutely no way to validate its
- 17:15veracity. And the only way to validate is by somebody actually looking at that
- 17:21output and making sense of it and saying this is this is correct or not.
- 17:23So I think it has uses, like if I'm taking a lot of
- 17:26big texts, I need to summarize it and then someone's going to do a
- 17:30proof layer to go and read it. So, yep, that makes sense,
- 17:33you know. I think it has its place, and so the places
- 17:36that I've heard executives starting to experiment with it, that's sort of the use
- 17:40case. I think, the broader implications about it, or the broader use
- 17:42cases of it. I think if I'm an enterprise executive and I was like
- 17:47diving into it, you'd be making a big, big mistake. You're opening
- 17:49yourself up to a ton of risk, and you're seeing that already with a
- 17:55lot of the major organizations sort of quietly on the back end saying do not
- 17:59use chat GBT for anything that is, you know, actually important. So
- 18:04I think that it is overblown from that standpoint, I also think it has
- 18:08a potential negative consequence in two ways. One is that it's sort of like
- 18:15when ALEXE and Sirie first came out, that initial reaction was so positive and
- 18:21everyone got so excited that it actually set the expectation bar so high that nothing
- 18:25could actually live up to it, including those products. And so now we're
- 18:29seeing, right, I mean, Alexa is losing a ton of money right
- 18:32on their side because they're not seeing the pull through that everyone sort of expected
- 18:34from this, and that's because it's proving to be not nearly as useful as
- 18:37everyone thought at that first blush. And I think it's going to be the
- 18:42same thing. So now suddenly there's a whole bunch of really good organizations out
- 18:47there doing conversational AI that do have a contextual layer, that do pride reliable,
- 18:52verifiable data on the back end, and you know, but what they
- 18:56don't have is this super clean interface from the the language learning models, where
- 19:02they're not going to be they're not going to appear to be as intuitive rights
- 19:07as someone I don't I need to find out who said this, but they
- 19:10said chet GBT is basically mansplaining as a service right has no idea what it's
- 19:14talking about it, but it says it with complete conviction. And the problem
- 19:18is is that if you're going to have a conversational AI platform that is in
- 19:22fact rooted in defensable data, it can't be that effective, right, And
- 19:29so I think it actually runs the risk of taking some really solid technologies and
- 19:33people like pooh poohing them. It's like, got way minute, it's why
- 19:36isn't as good as chet GPT on this conversational side, and that's going to
- 19:41create an expectation gap that is unfortunate. And I think that that is the
- 19:45second problem is it extends more broadly. There's some amazing uses of AI being
- 19:48being applied and deployed across all spectrums of the enterprise right now, and they're
- 19:56all going to sort of pale and comparison in terms of that whizbang factor,
- 20:00but they are in fact much more impactful on a real basis of how you
- 20:06can apply them to think. You know, if you look at some of
- 20:07the leaders in the AIOps space right of how they're using this technology to truly
- 20:12do amazing stuff of dealing with alert storms and all of these different applications,
- 20:18and people are going to sort of again, I think they may pale in
- 20:22comparison to this against They can't live up to that hype, and so they
- 20:26may actually, you know, it could go the other way. It could
- 20:27be that this opens up this whole door of people really excited about AI.
- 20:32But I fear that it's going to have the opposite effect. So I'm a
- 20:36bit of a contrarian. I'm fairly bullish over the long haul on how this
- 20:41technology gets applied, fairly barish in the short term, and even outside of
- 20:45enterprise it where I am interested to see where it goes is say, for
- 20:51instance, something like next Think takes employee sentiment and device data to get better
- 20:56insights and context. I'm wondering when a company like Boston Dynamic Mix with their
- 21:00robotic dog starts to use device metrics and context of the environment along with input
- 21:07to be able to tell that dog in AI terms how to respond and get
- 21:11better context and more more insight into how that how that robot is actually interfacing
- 21:17and reacting with the environment. Yeah. No, and look I think.
- 21:19I mean you're sort of you're started making my point and that there is an
- 21:22amazing stuff that can happen as we start applying this technology. I mean,
- 21:26at the end of the day, all AI is effectively pattern matching. I
- 21:30mean, that's how our brain works. We're big giant pattern matchers. Um,
- 21:33So there's tremendous potential in all of that. But what you realize is
- 21:41that once you actually require it to be defensibly accurate, this becomes inorderately more
- 21:49difficult. Right. It's why you know, we had massive predictions about,
- 21:52for instance, using AI to do early detection of things like radiology scans,
- 22:00and the technology is coming along, but this explosion where people thought is going
- 22:03to just replace radiologist almost overnight hasn't proven to be true because that need for
- 22:08it to be accurate requires that contextual layer where we can defend it, and
- 22:14that is incredibly difficult. Right. Chat GPT had this great advantage. It
- 22:19doesn't have to be right. You know, they're just gonna thrown it out
- 22:22there, and so so you know the use cases that we're seeing. Somebody
- 22:26just wrote this that that I thought was dead on. It's like when when
- 22:29you're using chat gypt for a creative endeavor all day long, because it's not
- 22:36you're not relying on that. You're using it as an idea generator or as
- 22:38a starter for something you're working on or whatever. I think it's fabulous in
- 22:42that use case, but people are immediately starting to go to, oh,
- 22:45I could just ask it whatever, and it's going to give it and you
- 22:48know, we'll see I think I think I'm I'm somewhat excited that Microsoft deployed
- 22:53it as part of Being because I think it's going to be a great test.
- 22:59And I do appreciate the way they're using it, meaning they are using
- 23:03the language model as the front end and back end layer, meaning they're using
- 23:07it to simply do the intent recognition and to then give it a cohesive response,
- 23:12but they're connecting it to this other data. So I think that that
- 23:17sort of a model, that sort of application makes a lot of sense.
- 23:22But we're still in the very very early day. So if I'm advising anybody
- 23:25on this, it's like, take a breath and you have a good healthy
- 23:29dose of skepticism around it, and you touched on it a little bit there.
- 23:33But in terms of automation, in my experience, it executives not at
- 23:37all, but in many instances think about automation as the easy button. Right,
- 23:42I'll automate it. I won't have to have my people do it.
- 23:45It'll do it quickly and just go deploy it. What do you think about
- 23:48specific advances in workplace automation where do you think we could see some comparable impact
- 23:56there? So I'm actually super excited about out where this is going from a
- 24:00couple of perspectives. The first I mentioned I'm working on this new report and
- 24:07I forgot the title of it, but it's like the three reasons that your
- 24:10automation efforts are stalling, and the fundamental cruxt of it is like I mentioned
- 24:15that that the the gains of the future, the veins that get we're going
- 24:19to be seeing because you're right, that easy button is gone, right,
- 24:22it's it doesn't work anymore, it broke. We used it too many times.
- 24:25That those gains are going to be found in looking at these cross functional
- 24:29business processes, these things that go end to end within an organization, hitting
- 24:33multiple, multiple functional units. Because in the past, we focused our automation
- 24:37efforts in these very targeted functional tasks, and if you look at the early
- 24:41days around automation, whether that was enablement of human automation or actual like URPA
- 24:48type automation, it was done the exact same way, right our PA has
- 24:53you came out of this very narrow focus of let's do one thing and automated
- 24:59and and they're two across any of those different spectrums, whether we're looking at
- 25:03workflow automation tools or RPA or whatever same thing that they're running. They're sort
- 25:07of running out of the runway because all the simple stuff is being handled and
- 25:11now we're seeing that the real gains are how do you connect this across multiple
- 25:15dots? And and this is where AI can do a great job of helping
- 25:21with that as well as tooling that simply makes it easier for organizations to do
- 25:26that right, to look across functions and to go end to end. And
- 25:30so you put these two together and I think we're going to see a massive
- 25:33explosion. I mean, so a handful of people are starting to say,
- 25:36hey, guys, what is chat GBT or what is AI really all about?
- 25:38It's about making people more productive in their jobs, taking away all of
- 25:41the stuff that is makes them inefficient and is wastele and allows them to focus
- 25:48on these more creative tasks. That's what we're going to see here, I
- 25:49think, and I think so many of our traditional back end business processes are
- 25:56ripe for this. They're still highly inefficient, particularly in as handoffs, and
- 26:00I think there's just a tremendous opportunity. So I think we're going to see
- 26:03this sort of golden age of taking automation into these this real end to end
- 26:11kind of domain. Right If if I you know this report, I'm talking
- 26:15about going back to the days of process for engineering, and they failed for
- 26:18a lot of reasons. If you're old like me and remember the nineties when
- 26:21we try to do these big, giant projects. But one of the reasons
- 26:25was that they were just so complex that you couldn't possibly develop leverage technology effectively.
- 26:30They became these one hundred million, sometimes billion dollar projects that took years
- 26:34and years to complete. And in this day and age, by the time
- 26:37you get even close to being done, before you're even halfway done, everything
- 26:41has changed. And so I think we're in this tremendous period where the technology
- 26:47is sort of caught up with a need. So I'm very excited to see
- 26:49where this all goes. Amazing stuff charg's just wonderful to have you back on
- 26:55the show, wonderful to listen to your thoughts again, wonderful to get your
- 26:57updates on I think very eventful twelve fifteen months of past since we last spoke.
- 27:03So treat for us, treat for our listeners, and we will of
- 27:07course point people to your wonderful website where they can find your writing and look
- 27:14at. In terms of the chat GPT conversation, it keeps, it keeps
- 27:17arising again and again you brought a really fresh perspective to it. But we
- 27:19will also link in the show notes to some of the recent articles and discussions
- 27:25we've had on this show and elsewhere around it. So look, just remains
- 27:29for me to say, lovely to see you again, Charles, hope to
- 27:30see you for a third date sometime in the future. And look, you
- 27:37have a great rest of for you in the meantime. Thanks great being with
