“You said AI is not a necessity, AI is a luxury.”

“Like Adderall, yeah. AI is absolutely not a necessity.”

“Did you mean that to sound…puristic and conservative?”

“No, not at all! I adore Adderall. I love AI—I think AI is the coolest—but you don’t really need it to work. My manager said to me, ‘You know, freshman, one day you should upgrade your workflow and embed in it some AI’. I said, ‘Sir, I am the ‘I”; you know? My experience with AI is great, because I pick it because I like it. I don’t need it.”
