Transcript context
…s the atmosphere I like. Here's my price range. Here's my area. What's a really good restaurant here and tell me the top 5? Well, that's phenomenal answer, but you're too fucking lazy to type that in. I think we're really really at the cusp here wherein I don't know how long texting the AI is gonna be not gone as an interface, but almost gone. Live video avatars are 100% the future. I wanna see an embodied looking human looking thing or people have it as Pikachu or whatever. And I wanna talk to it and ask you questions because then human conversational pace, you could just jam more tokens down its throat. It gets way better context and it's gonna do a way better job. Just don't pretend chat GBT can infer anything like reason from your 3 word question, please for the love of God. And don't penalize it for long answers because then you get very little data in, very little data out. It's just not smart enough to give you good answers that way. I don't think anything is. And then just to the initial question because it your question on the safety and advice that it gives. This gen this specific question is health and medical related. It will always prompt you to consult a medical professional every single time. You can't get away from that. It will always say, this is what I think, but you must consult a a medical professional if you're going to do this or I advise you to do so. Obviously, that's for, like, reasonings to not get sued and things like that. But, again, I think that is absolutely fine that people are going to it because it's gonna say that. Because if you came to me and asked me if I have a client who's, like, obviously a meathead bodybuilder on anabolic steroids and shit, I can only say, I advise you to do this thing. I think that if you're gonna do Retta, you should probably get it from a health clinic. You should probably talk to them about the dosing. You could do this, but I would talk to them. That's all that it's doing. So it's ultimately the user's choice. So I don't think that I can impart any more safety on an individual than the LLM can by simply saying you should consult a medical professional. It's ultimately the user decision. A few things that came up there. First of all, our bodies are very complex things. So when we look in the medical literature I mean, you can attest to this better than me, Mike that we see huge individual differences in responses. So when different people go on the same weight loss or they have the same intervention, Some lose weight and some don't lose weight. And and another thing though is, you know, let's say you've taken Retta and you've got personal experience taking a whole bunch of these things. And that that is really meaningful, right? Because there's, know, chat GBT, it just tells you all of this high level bullshit stuff like, oh yeah, are studies and, you know, like 5 percent of people got these effects and 2 percent of people got these effects. And it's just written like, you know, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure. That doesn't mean anything. You've actually taken these things for years and you understand the physiology and the biomechanical reactions and so on, you have such a deeper inactive understanding of that thing, right? And and the other thing that you said, Mike, which is interesting is I'm I'm a big believer that ChatGPT is a miraculous technology for experts like you. Right? So you already understand this stuff at a high resolution. And when you query it, you ask for information at a high resolution. I bet when you're on chat GBT, you probably say think deeply at the end of every prompt, don't you? I don't have…
