• "Lately does that. Its job is to identify what messaging will get you these sort of outcomes and specifically we work on social and it is a private database and you know all those kinds of things so the analytics piece we were just touching on is so important because when the results from the AI come out if you can't tell it if it's done a good job or a bad job thumbs up or thumbs down then it can't possibly learn right"
• "AI will have the same kind of idea. I think people need to be, they just need to be educated. We have this thing that we're fighting against, Brendan, you know it already, which is people think that AI is like a human. They can talk to it like a human. They just think it's a super smart human. It doesn't have an understanding of those nuances to ever answer you in a way a human would. It can't possibly do that, you know?"
