…Yeah, It's actually an interesting point that you could see a job such as being a judge staying and not being automated, but in practice being automated because the judge is using an AI model to make educated guesses about cases. And so that would be a way for society to maintain the formal structures we have today and without actually thinking about which functions in society we're interested in automating. And so I think that would be quite a bad situation to end up in, because then we haven't actually grappled with the question about whether we want to outsource kind of the profession of being a legal judge to AI. Yeah, exactly. And I think one of my real concerns there is, again, that same model. You know, if everyone's using like GBT-7 and they're calling that thing in to do all of their judge work, then whatever flaw exists in GBT-7, that's now your judge. And I think my concern isn't just have we automated the task, but with what information are we automating it. Yeah, We also have perhaps another barrier to automation is judgment in a broader sense and taste. So for example, you can have hundreds of AI models generate whatever you want, whatever piece of writing or imagery you want. But judging what is actually interesting to people is something that's perhaps more difficult to automate. Do you think we might become kind of employed because we have human judgment and because we have taste, or do you think that's ultimately also automatable?…
