Out of what Lucas is talking about, anything there resonate with you as you're evolving what Heartbeat is doing in terms of its distribution patterns and how you get found?

Do you see success cases where you're seeing yourself do things successfully as using it as an assistant?

yeah i have gotten to the point so one of the things so i kind of did two and one thing i'm in you know obviously being an entertainment business i do not use any generative ai tools the reason i don't because i'd be sitting around the computer for just days and hours i actually um we were doing a social post last week and i was on 11 labs and i actually created a score but i'm looking up and i'm two and a half hours sitting on 11 so i said i can't do that anymore That's a lot of time.

One of the things that strikes me, though, is how do you inform leaders not to confuse AI and what it produces with creativity or with true inspiration? How do you do that?
