What about hallucination? I mean, is that a problem you have to worry about? We're making up citations.
6:46
Uh, it is a very real issue.
6:48
I won't say that's a solved problem.
6:50
It's a lot better than it was two or three years ago.
6:52
Two or three years ago, it was a huge issue.
6:53
These chatbots would confidently make up citations, and that's worse than if it's wrong because it's so disarming.

What does this mean for Canada in those windows?
16:36
how you incorporated it.
16:37
I could do a 30, 40-minute stage show in Magic.
16:40
And it would be really pretty good.
16:41
I won multiple awards and competitions.
16:44
But this wasn't like a lifelong thing.
16:46
I played with a Magic kit when I was 12 years old, as many young boys and children often do.
16:51
But I stopped playing with it after a couple months because I had nobody to perform for.

Can you talk a little bit about how you're encouraging the students, right, who are coming up, how to think multifunctionally, multidimensionally, and not just about the work at hand, but also about incorporating joy and more balanced life as well?
