Some people may find meaning in their relationships with others, while others may find meaning in pursuing their passions or interests.

  1. As always very good information. I have stopped using chats because they mostly send me back to the FAQ page that I have already tried. I will at least try using them again after this podcast. I think they are the future I just wish they would escalate faster.

    I also liked your section on the “AI” apps. I have one comment. They should be tested much more the ensure the answers are at least 95% correct before going live. They could Beta thes Like you guys did. The problem I see is the dissemination of “False News” that would end being passed around as real.
