Do I care about remodeling the White House? Not really.
I’d rather focus on justice, economic opportunity, advancing democracy, elevating our citizens and protecting the planet.
My agenda is hopelessly sidelined.

Reason #42 to be human: #Feedback
#AI doesn't provide the kind of feedback humans crave. It provides an answer, but no feedback. Think about real life:
- Water a plant and it grows
- Tell a joke and others laugh
- Train at a sport and hit a PR
AI has a place. A focused place.
