Sound Bites "Nearly every software company feels compelled to mention how they had AI integrated into their tools." "You just can't get away from the hype." "We are still humans. Let's stay like that. If we keep it like that, if we treat each other like humans, I wouldn't be that worried." "Be open-minded, be curious, and I would also say, I'd also encourage people to try out some of these systems themselves." "You don't know that until you actually play with it."
