“I can't tell you how many times I've seen people say like, wow, I'm so excited because my two favorite people are going to be collaborating on a podcast!”
“They're going to cut corners to be able to make more and to maintain that sort of control and divide but I do think that there is a silver lining with this [AI]. There are good things that are going to come out of this.”
