Without getting into, like, really crazy details on stuff, I'll, I'll, I'll share this with you.
I think, um, I, you know, a lot of people have got AI in their computers, and they're using it to, like, better their, you know, their, their text or their images or their video.
I wanna take it, I'm gonna take AI out of the computer, and I wanna put it in real-world products.
So that's where it's gonna make a big difference, where you actually have a physical product that just is better because it's using AI to, um, to operate in a better fashion, if that makes any sense.
Like, I always, I always talk to my wife and I'm like, "Man, when I was a kid, I was used to watching 'The Jetsons,'" right? I'm like, "Where's my Rosie? I don't...
I don't know where she is, right? Rosie, if you don't know, is a robot that was in this cartoon, right? And she'd, like, cook and she'd clean and she'd do all this stuff.
I want, I want AI to come out of the computer, and I think that is a massive opportunity, and I think a-across a ton of different ways to use it.
We, we were hoping for Rosie, and we got Siri, who's, man, I feel like I, I-
Um, w- can you give, uh, can you give an example of where you think that would be most, like, i-i-ideation around where you'd love to see...
Like, you mentioned Rosie, of course, like the full-on autonomous assistant who comes and does all that stuff and, and maybe that's where you're going, but I have a, a hunch you also have some, some maybe less complex use cases for, for other physical objects where AI could be paired and be really beneficial.
