Transcript context

…Awesome. Now, is there anything else that we haven't talked about? Anything else you want to leave folks with? We've covered a lot, so I don't know if there's anything left. We'll obviously link them to the report where they can go deeper. We're also going to do a follow-up based on what comes out of this conversation, what we see in the comments, because this is a lot of information and a lot of scary stuff, some optimistic stuff. We're not going to have answers to everything, but we're planning to do a follow-up of just here's what came up. Let's see if we can find any answers. But other than that, is there anything else that you want to share? There's one interesting phenomenon that I wanted to mention. We're starting to see this AI guilt, and in particular, amongst people who are early in their career in the sense that people who are early in their career feel like leveraging this technology is a little bit like cheating in a sense. And that guilt declines with seniority.

So there's no reason to feel guilty about leveraging it, on the contrary. I think inevitably we all are all the time. Well, to close [inaudible 01:33:33] I just want to appreciate you. It's incredible the work that you've done here and the work that we've done together over the many surveys. It's like a side thing you do with me, running, I don't know, one of the biggest surveys out there around this stuff, maybe the biggest, analyzing it, writing it so beautifully. So I think this is a really unique and special report and I appreciate you for doing this with me. I'm really happy about where this all goes and just what we're doing for folks.…
