Episode Transcript*:
This is Your Speech Path: Mindful Time Management for the Busy SLP. My name is Theresa Harp and, as a mom and speech pathologist turned productivity coach, I know a thing or two about how hectic life can be. If you're an SLP who's overworked, burnt out and feeling like you're constantly falling short as a therapist and a mom, then this is the podcast for you. I cover time management and mindset strategies so you can learn to love your work and your home life at the same time. Let's dive in.
Hello, hello, hello. This is Your Speech Path. Well, welcome back to another episode. How is everyone doing? I am actually very, I would say, nerv-cited. That's a word that we have in our family, in our house. I'm a little no, I'm very nerv-cited for this episode because I'm going to be talking about AI, specifically ChatGPT, and I'm mostly excited I would say maybe more excited than nervous because I think this episode has some really interesting and innovative ideas of how you can use ChatGPT to save you time as a speech therapist. But I'm also feeling nervous because I think that working in an evidence-based field like speech pathology requires us to be held to a high standard in all of our work and in our approach to intervention, and I think that a tool like this artificial intelligence introduces some pretty significant concerns that need to be addressed and need to be considered if you are using this tool, so that you know that you can use it or so that you know how to use it in a way that still stays within our ethical and moral responsibilities and obligations. So I chose to focus this episode on most heavily on ways that you can use it and to not go into in great detail at least the dangers of a tool like this or the risk of a tool like this, and I don't mean to sound melodramatic, but I do think that there's a lot of people that could listen to this episode and have some concerns, and I think that those concerns are valid, but I don't go into those concerns in detail and maybe I will in another episode, I don't know. It would be really interesting to hear your feedback as a listener in terms of what you liked about this episode and maybe what else you might be left wondering. Do you think it would be helpful for me to share an episode on some of the kind of risks and benefits of AI and of ChatGPT, but that's not what I'm going to focus on today. I will talk a little bit about that and and and. You know I'll get there in a second, but I just think that first the obvious place to start, even though it seems may might seem unnecessary, but I do think it's important to at least start by identifying what I'm talking about when I say ChatGPT.
Theresa Harp:3:53
I think many of you who are listening probably know how. You've probably heard of ChatGPT or probably have some idea of what I'm talking about. But you might be listening to this and you might have no clue, which is fine, but I think you probably will. If you haven't heard about ChatGPT, you'll probably be hearing about it a lot in the near future, and so, if this is new for you, essentially ChatGPT is one tool under that artificial intelligence umbrella. There is a free version, which is the only version that I have used, and there's a paid version. Can't tell you anything about that, but I can tell you that just for fun, I did go to ChatGPT and asked ChatGPT to explain in simple words what it is and how it works, and so this was the response.
Theresa Harp:4:53
I will read it for you because you know why not. So the cue or the prompt that I put in was explain ChatGPT to me in words that a 12-year-old would understand. This was the response that was generated: “Hey there, imagine you have a super smart friend who knows a lot about everything and can answer any question you ask. That's kind of what ChatGPT is. It's like a friendly robot that uses its big brain to talk to you and help you with your questions. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence program that's been trained to understand human language and respond to it in a helpful way. It's like having a virtual buddy who can chat with you and provide information on all sorts of topics, just like talking to a real person. The more people talk to ChatGPT, the smarter it gets, because it learns from all the conversations. But remember, just like with any friend, it's essential to use ChatGPT responsibly and ask appropriate questions. It's meant to be fun and informative, so feel free to chat and learn new things together.”
Theresa Harp:5:54
So that is their definition, one of their definitions of what ChatGPT is. And I also think, as I was listening to myself read that description, I'm like this is like kind of meta, and I don't mean like Facebook meta, I just mean meta meta. It's a language. They're talking about language and communication and interaction, which is what we do. That is our thing, that's our jam as speech pathologists. So I just you know there's an interesting sort of life imitating art element to all of this, but I digress, okay, so that is, on a very basic level, what ChatGPT is and what I want to say about kind of just a couple of things that I want to say before we get into ways that you can actually use it.
Theresa Harp:6:47
I do want to acknowledge there are other options out there. There's other sort of programs, if you will, that are similar to chat GP, chat oh my gosh, ChatGPT. You'd think they could come up with a better, they would have chosen a better name. But anyway, I only know about ChatGPT in terms of like, I've only used ChatGPT, so I'm everything that I'm talking about is specific to that, but I believe my understanding is there's other tools out there that are very similar and I do want to acknowledge, kind of circling back to what I was talking about at the start of this episode was that there are some really important factors to consider and to address when it comes to using ChatGPT, and I was hesitant. I still am hesitant and I would strongly encourage you to proceed with caution and, like anything, there's drawbacks, there's risks, there's you know, just sort of, you know challenges, and and If you were making a pros and cons list, which is what my brain always wants to do, there will be very significant things that you'll find on that list for cons, on that list of cons.
Theresa Harp:8:14
But I believe that there is a way to use ChatGPT to free up your time and that is what this podcast is all about and I think that there's a way to do it responsibly. I think there's a way to do it judiciously and by using this tool, it can allow you to have more time to do the things that you love and to focus on the things that you are truly skilled at and good at, Because we know, with any job, there are parts of it that you enjoy and there's parts that you don't enjoy. There's the kind of meat and potatoes of the job In this case, for most of you listening, it would be speech therapy but then there's all the other things, like the report writing and the data collection and the session planning and the email correspondence and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So I think that this tool could be used to speed up some of the things that maybe take a little bit more time and energy and then allow you to have more time and energy to focus on what you do best.
Theresa Harp:9:22
I use ChatGPT in my business in a number of ways. Just to rattle off a couple, I've started exploring with chat GPT to use or to generate the show notes for my podcast because I hate writing show notes to generate episode titles, and I'll use ChatGPT to sort of organize my thoughts. Like, if I have a podcast episode that I sort of brain dump out what I want to say, I can use ChatGPT to help me sort of outline it and organize it. I can use ChatGPT for content ideas. So if I'm sort of sitting there and I've got a blank page and I can't come up with any ideas of what I want to write about or talk about or whatever, I could just plug in a question to ChatGPT and have all sorts of ideas that would then generate, kind of get my creative juices flowing and generate ideas for me to build off of.
Theresa Harp:10:28
Okay, I don't believe that and I'm not interested in using ChatGPT to write my blog posts. I don't have a blog, but if I did, but really for me to write my podcasts? Not interested, no, thank you. No, not interested in using ChatGPT to write my I don't know. Just I, I want to be very cautious in the ways that I use it, and so I'm not suggesting that you should use it as a substitute for things that you yourself, as an SLP, have had the training to do, and I think that's where we have to be really careful. Okay, I could go on and on and on and on and on about it, but I'm not going to. I'm going to focus and wait.
Theresa Harp:11:18
One last thing that I will say in terms of like objections and and considerations for ChatGPT. Remember the social dilemma that came out? I think it was on Netflix and it was very interesting. If you haven't watched it, check it out. There is also a on YouTube. You can just just do yourself a favor, go to YouTube and search the AI dilemma and you will find a video that can talk all about the downsides that the, the risks involved with something like this. Again, just to kind of circle back, I'm not saying that we should use ChatGPT to replace speech therapist, speech pathologist. I'm kind of going to focus the rest of this episode on ways that you can use it safely and efficiently and productively so that you can optimize your skill set as an SLP, okay, or as a business owner, okay. I feel like I've addressed what I needed to address.
Theresa Harp:12:31
So let's talk about how you can use this, how you can use ChatGPT in your practice. I came up with 10 ways of how you can use this, 10 total. Five are going to be focused in the clinical aspect and then five are going to be focused on the business aspect. But obviously there's thousands, millions maybe I don't know of ways that you could do that, ways that you could use the ChatGPT. These are some of my ideas, just a few, okay.
Theresa Harp:13:02
So if you are talking about in therapy sessions, ways that you could actually use this for your clinical work, the first easy, simple way that you can do that you can use ChatGPT is to create your word lists, your word lists or your vocab. You know your artic targets or your vocabulary or your words. So this could be for you know, say, you want to generate a list of words that have I did. I did a sample one earlier when I was playing around with it and I did /f/ in the medial, the word medial position. I did 50 words with the /f/ phoneme in the world in the word medial position. So I mean I just I remember in the days when I first started practicing, like having to search for this on Google and it taking a lot of time, not even being able to figure out how to word it in Google and have the words come out with the sound in the correct position, with the right sound in the right position, and I, within less than five seconds, was able to get a list of 50 words using ChatGPTv. So you can do this for articulation targets. You could do this for language targets. If it's for vocabulary, you know, give me a list of 20 vehicles and boom, you've got a list of words right there. It could be for I.
Theresa Harp:14:36
When I was treating, I was working with individuals who were down for heart of hearing, so we could do sentences for auditory feedback and if you know, you know, and if you don't, it's fine, you don't need to know, but it's just a huge time saver for coming up with your list of stimuli, right? Also similar you could do this for story comprehension. So the second way that you could use ChatGPT is to create stories and create story comprehension or reading or listening comprehension questions to go along with that story. So I, for fun, plugged in the prompt, write me a 10 sentence story about going to the zoo that six year old would be interested in, make sure it has characters, a problem in a solution, and then create 5 WH -questions for story comprehension, just for fun. That's what I did and got a nice story.
Theresa Harp:15:39
There's, you know, things that were in the story, words that would be that I wouldn't use or say. And so once you have that, that response, you can then just go copy it, paste it and then modify whatever doesn't work for you, right. Or if you want to be really specific and say you know, create a story, created 10 sentence story that has at least 15 prepositions in it, right? If you're highlighting prepositions or a certain language structure, sentence structure, adjective plus noun, then chat GPT will generate that for you within seconds, Right? And then you can modify as needed. So those two things right off the bat, huge time saver.
Theresa Harp:16:29
The third way that you can use this in therapy sessions this is a little bit more macro, like. Those are the last two examples I gave you were very specific. This is a little bit broader and I say I offer this idea with hesitation but with hope and trust that you would use this appropriately and professionally. But you could have chat, gpt, write a lesson plan for you. So I, for fun, plugged in, write a lesson plan for a child with hearing loss who's working on asking where questions and then it generated in this nice pretty format. Might I add a lesson plan? So lesson plan asking where questions.
Theresa Harp:17:12
Objective to help a child with hearing loss develop the ability to ask where questions to enhance their language and communication skills. Age four to five years. Materials picture cards with scenes or images showing different locations, for example parts, park, beach, school, etc. Visual aids, for example WH question word chart, whiteboard or flip chart with markers. Preparation selective variety of picture cards representing different locations. Prepare WH question word chart. Familiarize yourself with the child's communication preferences and any specific hearing it or amplification requirements. Then it gave me a warm up activity. Begin with a fun warm up activity such as where is Teddy? Game. Hide a favorite toy or teddy bear in different places around the room and encourage the child to ask where is Teddy. You can help the child locate the toy and reinforce the use of where in their question Introduction. Oh, by the way, it also gives you time targets for how much time you should be spending. So ChatGPT thinks you're spending five minutes on the warm up. You're spending five minutes on the introduction, which advises you to show the child the WH question word chart and explain that today they will be learning how to ask questions about places or locations using where and review other WH questions. They might already know what and who. for example, to provide context Main activity 15 minutes picture cards exploration.
Theresa Harp:18:38
Display the picture cards representing different locations. Ask the child to name each place and describe what they see in the pictures. This encourages engagement and vocabulary building. Have the child match each picture to the corresponding word. Modeling WH questions. Model asking WH questions using the picture cards. Where is the beach? Where is the school? Encourage the child to point to the location in the picture while asking the question, helping reinforce the concept of WH Guided practice. Show a picture card and ask the child a WH question related to the scene when do you see swings? Help them find the answer in the picture. Prompt the child to ask WH questions with other picture cards providing assistance and positive feedback as needed. Then it gives you a wrap up five minute wrap up activity.
Theresa Harp:19:23
Review the concept of asking WH questions. Ask the child to practice one last WH question. Praise the child for their efforts in progress and encourage them to continue practicing WH questions during everyday activities. Gives you an example of home practice. Suggests the parents or caregivers that they reinforce WH questions during daily interactions with the child. Encourage them to use different locations and scenarios to practice asking and answering WH questions. And then it gives you a couple of notes. Be mindful of the child's hearing needs. Thank you for that reminder.
Theresa Harp:19:55
ChatGPT. This is what I do. Use clear and visible speech. Ensure that the learning environment is quiet and conducive to hearing and communication. Adapt the activities to match the child's interests and abilities for a more engaging and personalized learning experience.
Theresa Harp:20:10
So you get to decide. You can make your own judgments. I really wanted to read that out loud for you, though, so that you could get a good example, or I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not saying that is a good example, but to get an example of what this tool generates, and then you can make your decisions. You can make your judgments on whether or not you think it would be useful. I will add that you can go back into ChatGPT, so after you get a response like that, you could go back and prompt it again to modify the activity in some way. I'm having trouble thinking of an example of how you might do this, but you know, maybe they generated something, maybe you want them to recreate the activity for someone who doesn't have a long attention span, who struggles with attending for longer periods of time, right, so then they could take that and they could modify it for you. So that's a nice feature that ChatGPT offers.
Theresa Harp:21:18
But, of course and I feel like I'm just gonna keep saying this throughout this episode this is not me telling you that ChatGPT is good at writing lesson plans, that ChatGPT should be used for this, that ChatGPT should be, that this should replace what we do, right? I would not take this lesson plan and then go and do therapy, and I'd like to think that most of at least the people listening to this podcast would not either. Right, this is to help you come up with ideas and structure and just get your brainstorming rolling so that you can build off of what they are offering. Okay, all right, then, in sticking with therapy ways that you can use ChatGPT I asked ChatGPT to give me 10 ways that I could use a game to build language skills, and I gave them the specific game. So I said I have the game. Don't break the ice. What are 10 ways I can use this game to build language skills? And then ChatGPT came up with 10 ways. Now I'm not gonna read all of them to you just for the sake of time, but here's a couple examples Vocabulary building introduce new words related to winter, ice and construction, such as chili, mallet, crack or pile.
Theresa Harp:22:47
Following directions give the child directions on how to play the game and have them follow multi-step instructions like tap the blue block with the penguin first, then the green block with the snowflake. Asking and answering questions prompt the child to ask questions about the game or other players, like what color is your mallet and how many turns have we taken? Prepositions the bear is on top of the red block or the snowman is next to the green block. Side note, I'm trying to remember this game. We actually don't have this game at home. I used to have it growing up and my kids and I were talking about it randomly yesterday, which is why I plugged it in, and I don't remember there being like a snowman and a penguin in the game. But regardless, that is not the point. You, of course, could put whatever little figurines and like figures and toys that you wanna add to the game if they don't exist. But so there's 10 ideas. Those are a few examples of what ChatGPT generated.
Theresa Harp:23:51
I just like to do this. I would like to use it this way when you're just sort of in that funk right when, like, you have the material that you wanna use and you're just trying to think of how you wanna use it, or you're tired of using it the same way, cause we all get stuck in our rut of using the same materials the same ways and we get bored. And when I get to that point, when I was practicing, when I would get to that point I need something to sort of like shake me out of it a little bit and then gets me back into the mind, space, the brain, energy, where I can come up with those ideas myself. But doing something like this would help me think of 10 more ideas of how I could use it.
Theresa Harp:24:43
Okay, and then, similarly, you could also give ChatGPT a skill or a target that you're working on and ask them, ask them, ask chat GPT to generate ways that you could target that. Like I asked ChatGPT to give me five ways I could target prepositions for a child who's learning how to expressively use prepositions in sentences and they gave me. I didn't save this response but they ChatGPT generated five activities that we could do that would target the child's ability to expressively use prepositions. So you can use ChatGPT that way as well. You could give it the activity or the toy or the material and ask it to tell you ways to use it. And then, on the flip side, you could give ChatGPT the goal that you're working on and ask them to give you ideas of how to target it activities and toys and stuff like that. And then I've kind of lost count, but I think this is the last.
Theresa Harp:25:54
I think this is the fifth and final way that you can use it in your practice, for this episode at least, is to generate homework or carry over exercises and activities for families. So for fun, I entered as a speech pathologist. What is a homework activity I can give a student to help them practice using prepositions with caregivers and then ChatGPT generated a preposition scavenger hunt and this response was formatted very nicely, very similar to how the lesson plan was formatted. It was formatted very nicely so it gave me the objective, it gave me the instructions, it gave me examples, it gave me ways to build on it and it gave me ways to expand on the activity or extend the activity and review how it went.
Theresa Harp:26:55
So I mentioned the formatting piece because, depending on how your brain works, if you get a response and it's just all in like one big long form, one big long paragraph, it can might be hard for you to look at that and pull out the important pieces of information and isolate and organize things so that you understand what's being, what's being generated For me in the way my brain operates. When it's formatted like this, it makes it so much easier for me to process the information that's being shared. So for whoever that might help, that is one of the nice features. So that could be a nice way for you to come up with activities for families to use at home for carryover. And I don't know about you, I don't know what the circumstances are in terms of like, what your caseload is and how much time you have, but I would venture a guess that probably coming up with activities that like homework activities and stuff like that might not be something that you have a whole lot of time to generate. This is a huge time saver huge. They even gave me the prepositions on the table, under the chair, beside the lamp, etc. Right, just a really, really nice time saver. And then again you can go in and modify, add things, substitute things, change whatever you need to change so that it is up to the standards that we as SLPs hold. Okay, all right.
Theresa Harp:28:34
So those are some quick, easy ways you could use ChatGPTfor your therapy. Now I want to talk about five quick, easy ways you can use it as a business tool, as a way to save you time in your business. So if you are a private practice owner, whether you have, whether you see one or two clients on the side, or you have a big, booming practice with lots of clients, I think that this information will be useful for you. So you probably know, as a business owner, the benefits of, and the importance of, having an email list, and not just having that email list but communicating to your email list regularly, something I, full disclosure struggle with very much in my coaching practice. It was also difficult for me when I had my private practice. But it's a work in progress and I think that using ChatGPT for writing emails could be a nice, effective way for me to actually follow through in staying in touch with my email list. So I prompted ChatGPT. I said I'm a speech pathologist and I work with children with hearing loss.
Theresa Harp:29:52
Write an email for parents of children with hearing loss. I want the email to be written in a friendly tone and to describe the reasons why it's so important to read aloud with their child. They gave me a subject line reading aloud, a key to your child's language success, and then I'm not going to read the whole email to you, but it generated the actual email and it gave me a little introduction, so it introduced the topic, which would be reading aloud. It gave me let's see seven yeah, seven benefits of reading aloud with kids and then some tips for how to make the most of the read aloud sessions. So choosing appropriate books and reading at an appropriate pace, interacting with your child, blah, blah, blah, right, and then a nice little kind of wrap up conclusion. And that is that. Now some of the wording in here isn't. They aren't words that I would necessarily use. For example, the greeting is I hope this email finds you all in good health and high spirits.
Theresa Harp:31:00
As your child's speech pathologist, I wanted to take a moment to share some valuable insights about an essential activity that can significantly contribute to your child's language development reading aloud. That is not something I would say, that's not how I talk, that's just not me and my personality. So I would either modify that myself so that it fit and fit my personality and my brand, or I could take that and put it back into ChatGPT and then regenerate a response using you know, I might just I might ask it to use maybe a more professional tone. I told it to be friendly, but they're friendly and my friendlier, I guess, two kind of different vibes, so you would have to play around with that, but I do know that that is an option that's available and it is. It actually has worked. I've done this, I've had it kind of oh, we'll write that in a softer tone or write that in a more academic tone, or whatever it may be, and it will do that for you. So it kind of gets you closer and closer to what kind of message you want to send, and then you make your modifications and send it out. So writing emails for your email list huge, huge time saver, right, I think. Personally, it's easy for me to take something like this and modify and build off of it rather than start from scratch in many cases not all the time, but in many cases. So that is one way you can use ChatGPT from a business standpoint.
Theresa Harp:32:41
Another quick, simple way you can use it is to create keywords for your content, so you could plug in content that you've created and ask them to generate the keywords for you. You could take your website and you could generate keywords for your website, right? If you kind of tell ChatGPT what you do and what your website, who your website is for, you could ask what the keywords would be for search engine optimization, and then you'd get your responses. Now, can I attest to the accuracy of those keywords, the reliability? No, and that is just like with any of the responses that ChatGPT generates. There will be mistakes, there will be errors, there will be things that you just they're gonna lead you astray even, and so that is one of the risks I don't think that you should use ChatGPT for all of your marketing, because obviously I mean, I'd rather have a human with a human brain telling me what are the keywords I need and what's the copy. How should I be speaking to my audience? But if you are starting out, if this is something that's keeping you stuck, that's a simple, easy way to just check it off the list. Keep going and then you can upgrade and modify and improve over time. Okay.
Theresa Harp:34:05
A third way that you can use it for your business is to help you create resources. So maybe in your private practice you are creating content, you're creating resources for families that you serve. I prompted ChatGPT with the following. I said I'm a speech pathologist who works with children with hearing loss. Create a worksheet that outlines how a hearing aid works. The worksheet needs to be in kid-friendly language. And then it basically generated the content of that worksheet how does a hearing aid work Introduction. And then it gave me questions and answers.
Theresa Harp:34:45
What is a hearing aid? A hearing aid is a tiny magical helper that looks like a small, fancy ear accessory. It's designed to sit comfortably in your ear or behind it and it helps you hear sounds more clearly. How does it work? And then it goes over the different pieces, the different parts of a hearing aid, how to use it, why hearing aids are fantastic, and then a conclusion. So again, this should not replace everything else that you're saying and doing and creating, but it can be a really powerful tool to help you with that initial creation, to get the rough draft going, to get the ideas flowing. Okay.
Theresa Harp:35:31
Then, on a similar note, kind of building off of that is marketing content. Now, if you are in your practice, you're trying to grow, you're trying to network, you can. You probably have already needed to create material like flyers and newsletters and maybe brochures, things like that. Maybe you have a list of referral resources or referral sources and you want to stay in touch with them and you kind of wanna to cultivate those relationships. So maybe you use chat, gpt to help you create the copy for those resources. They could create the copy for the flyers, for the newsletters, and then you need to modify Not gonna be as good as a human copywriter by any means, but again, can help you get the ball rolling. You could also do this for email templates. So I, when I was talking about emails before, I was talking more about emails for your email list where you're marketing your business, but also think about the emails for outreach that you do so to related professionals, to, in my case, like ENTs, audiologists. So writing those emails and then saving them as templates huge time saver. ChatGPT could help you do that.
Theresa Harp:37:02
And then the last one that I will offer the last way that you can use ChatGPT in your business is for social media content, for social media creation. Now I again think you need to proceed with caution. I've definitely been able to tell or at least I presume as I've been scrolling on social media which posts have been written with AI. I mean, it's just got this tone to it that you just know. It's just not landing, it's not resonating with me, it's just it doesn't sound like a human wrote it, and so I don't think that I would hand over all my social media content creation to ChatGPT.
Theresa Harp:37:51
However, I do think that you could prompt it to write, you know, for example, write a social media post about the top five reasons you should wear your hearing aids or the top five reasons you should learn sign language, or something like that. Right, and then it can give you some ideas that then you would modify and then decide if you want to post or not post, right, but you could, maybe you have a post that you've written and then you want it to be written in a different tone, like I was talking about earlier. Or you want the caption for it, right? Maybe like for Instagram. If you write the, is that even the right, the right word? I'm laughing because I don't even use Instagram, I'm barely on it. But you post the picture, you have to generate a caption, right? So social chat GPT could help you with that piece, that social media piece of writing the caption or coming up with hashtags or something like that. Okay, um, so I think that for someone who maybe even, like me, has something of a block when it comes to social media for business I have it for personal as well, a block for personal use but I do think that it could help you come up with fun, exciting ways that you could use social media as an outlet, use social media as a, as a platform to engage with your target audience, which, of course, is what so many of us business owners are trying to do, right? So that was the last one that I had for you from a business standpoint. So we talked about ways that you can use it in your clinical practice. We talked about ways that you can use it as a business owner.
Theresa Harp:39:54
I am so curious to hear what your reactions are to this episode as you listen, and I just want to emphasize for the millionth time that I do not think that ChatGPT should be used to replace speech therapists. I don't think it should be. I'm not suggesting that it be used that way. I think that it is a tool and, like any tool, you need to use it cautiously and intentionally and carefully and professionally. So that I hope you've you've heard that as I've been talking, and I hope that this inspired ideas of ways that you might explore with it, and I think that would be my biggest kind of takeaway for you would be to just go explore ChatGPT, go play with it, go see what happens when you try using it, because I do think it's here to stay.

I don't think this is, it's not going away and I think it's. You know it'll be really interesting to listen to this episode in even a year from now, even a few months from now, and how things expand and grow and evolve, because I mean, think back to when the internet's, you know, first came out right. We all have seen that kind of famous clip of I think it was Katie Couric when they were talking about WWW and the “@” symbol and all of that. If you haven't seen that on YouTube, it's hilarious. You should definitely, definitely check that out. I kind of think of, I think of ChatGPT like that right, and like the early days of the internet. So it will be very interesting to see what comes out of this. But I, as I was saying, am so interested to hear what your thoughts are on this episode.
