What was said

"We're making it real, man. I mean, now this shit is going— it's, it's real. It's real. In a way it's kind of saying if it could talk, hey man, I can do what you do. What else you got? You got any new shit, man? Come on, I can do what you do."

Bridges argued that AI represents an existential creative challenge to humanity, forcing people out of comfort zones into unprecedented territory. He framed AI as something demanding humans prove their unique value, comparing it to the biggest test humanity has faced. He expressed both fear and fascination about AI's rapid advancement.
