## Quote — verbatim

> There's going to be, of course, classism, where people that know how to use AI are going to out-\[compete\] people that don't use AI. So then people that don't know how to use AI will have no other option \[but\] to use AI... like back in the day, \[the\] internet was the same thing.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
