I hired my first VA in 2005. That guy still works for me today. Today. When I hired him initially, he knew almost nothing. Today, he is unbelievably talented, super great at managing who's doing what in our business and following up and finding problems and coming up with ideas. Really, really impressive. So what he was doing at the time was writing articles about our content, and he was posting those articles in different places and he was adding links to them. And so could they have written the articles? Yes. Could it have added links and headlines and by. Yes, it could have done all that stuff. Could it. Could it post it in all the places he was and linked them together? Well, right now, AI cannot do that, at least not as far as I understand it. In the future, will it be able to? Yes, probably. So is some change coming? Yes, that is definitely going to happen. Where it's going to replace some of the things that we currently do. Can I replace him with AI right now? Absolutely not. There's not a chance that, that that could happen right now.
