The host asked why work with AI still feels so human-centered when so much of the talk is about automation. Altman had just said that tasks needing little creativity will go to AI. This is his reason for thinking the rest stays with people.
I think there will be some areas of work where there's actually not much creativity required and we don't care about the person doing it. And many of those tasks or jobs will be done by AI. But I think there's so much other stuff people want in the world, there's going to be no shortage of new things to go do. I think that's been one of the lessons of recent time.
Why do you think it's so human-centered, even though we talk a lot about automation?
I mean, one observation is we just don't care that much about what the machines do. And in some sense, we never have. And we're just like, we're obsessed with other people. We want to know about the person behind the art or the person behind the company or the idea or the product. And I think this is like a wonderful, positive surprise that we probably should have all known before.
I agree. I've been thinking like if an agent solves a Navier Stokes in a data center, but no one finds out, did it really solve it?
I think that was like a great example where 10,000 agents worked super hard for four days in perfect coordination with each other and did this amazing thing. And almost none of the public reaction was about that actually, the problem being solved. A lot of talk about the interpretation, a lot of talk about the people involved in it in different ways. But that was a good thing.
Yeah. So it's Dev Day. You launched, by my count, 22 new things today, which I've been at all four dev days. And I think last year was like nine. And the year before that was like four or five. So it's a lot more than usual. Let's wait for next year. Okay. I'm tired. I'm tired.
