In the middle of his talk, he said something that brought up a memory from the movie Galaxy Quest, where Gwen (Sigourney Weaver's character) had the job of computer/human interface. That's all she does. In the movie she gets to respond to someone who says, "But you are merely repeating to us the thing that the computer just told us." She replies "This is the job the scriptwriters gave me, it's all I know how to do. Let me do that job." In the context of the movie, it was humorous but in the speaker's discussion, that human/machine interaction is (going to be) a crucial skill.

Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite moves. It was a spoof on Star Trek which I also love. My husband, like most men, was very observant of certain things and pointed out that the position of the zipper on Gwen's costume moves as the action heats up.

He creeps me out by repeatedly referring to the impressive value of his own work. It reminds me of all the hucksters selling get rich scemes in real estate, pyramid sales and web site design.
He may be right about some things, but I don't need his constant self-aggrandizement to convince me.

I didn't like that About him either, but give him a chance, he grows on you....

In certain ways, he reminds me of Bill Gates, who started HIS little empire in a garage tinkering with the new toys called microcomputers. Ego wasn't lacking there, either.
Fixed it for you.

Is that one of those movies where , as I tell my kids when they see a video or a Book for sale about how-to-get-rich-quick - the only person getting rich off of the get rich quick book is the author!
But that's an interesting thing - recently I've been getting into Amazon KDP (self-publishing portal) and trying my hand at various AI-generated books, from children's stories to coloring books to cookbooks. It amazes me how ChatGPT works. Sometimes I want to kill it I'm so frustrated, but on balance I'm pretty impressed. It gives itself prompts behind the scenes that are different than what we feed it. LIke we feed it 5GL coding and it translates it into 2gl coding

I told it the other day I'm going to get a sledgehammer and smash my PC to pieces then I'm going to smash all the innards into tiny little shards and I'm going to find the little tiny piece of the hard drive where you reside and totally destroy that!
It's true what they say, chatty is a good therapist!
