00:00We do a lot of routine things. We replace a lot of jobs. I don't know a lot of people worry about it.
00:05The question I ask during this meeting is, will it replace the scientists and engineers?
00:11Will it?
00:12I don't think, not in the near future, okay? You think about, I use an example, you know, Einstein.
00:17I don't think the current AI can replace Einstein anytime soon, or Darwin, or, you know, Crick and Watson, the DNA and all that.
00:24Because they, these scientists, they are not using big data. They were not.
00:31You know, maybe it's just some nebulous thing in their head, but they were able to sort of take a jump, extrapolation.
00:37This is where humans are still very good. We don't understand how many humans innovate.
00:41But of course, many, many people, like myself, are more mundane, ordinary, you know, human beings.
00:47They will certainly help me, okay?
00:49So, the way I see it is, before I used Google to search for things, now I can use ChatGPT.
00:55I mean, that's a very basic use.
00:56It can actually give the answer to you in a very well-structured prose.
01:00It can actually read between the lines.
01:03So, it's very useful.
01:05If I'm a businessman or, let's say, a researcher doing research, I will use it.
01:09Let's say, a researcher on the left, let's say, an expert, let's say, a researcher in Japan's body.
