<br />
<br />

<br />
This quote is in reference to how good CGI and visual effects in movies can be so seamless that the audience doesn’t even realize it’s not practical effects.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This quote discusses how people’s preferences around video production and presentation may evolve as more tools become available.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This quote reflects Dan’s view that for podcasting and entertainment, maintaining a human element is important, even as AI and technology advance.<br />
