 I'm telling you the first war against the machines is not gonna be fought with machine guns or laser guns It's gonna be fought on the keyboards guys an Asian University student has just invented an app that can detect whether your essay is Written by chat GPT or not and guess what even though he's very smart He's getting a lot of flack on the internet even from fellow Asians. So let's talk about why that's a little surprising. Oh my gosh, man I'm not gonna lie. I was kind of disappointed in the young Gen Z Asians commenting on this next shark Instagram post man These 20 year olds were hating on fellow 20 year old Edward Ken despite the I'm just going off the evidence guys him Probably being one of the most brilliant minds of his generation, but they're just calling him a nerd They say has no friends anyway Andrew I'm gonna get into the points about it because I don't like what this saying about Gen Z and their attitude towards towards embracing the anti-intellectual strain in American pop culture Okay, it might get a little fiery guys Hold on to your seats hit that like button if you're excited or interested by this conversation that we're about to have guys Let's get into a man five points David. What's the first one and what what happened? What are the main responses? Why what is everybody saying basically the people were like omfg this guy's my number one op this guy was a nerd This guy probably gets no girls. He's probably no fun to be around at parties He's probably the teacher's pet, right? Probably teachers and you know what I didn't like about this. It's not that I didn't anticipate these responses from non Asians You know Chad Brad Cody Becky but to hear from other Asians is kind of like wrong because it goes to show you the younger Gen Z It's sort of embracing that American binary where you're either gonna go into the smart brainiac nerd like uncool Sexless bucket or you're gonna be this cool cloud driven swag drip God who's like doing drugs and having sex when you're like 13 years old. I'm not saying there's not fun things on both sides Obviously, this is the one our parents want. This is the one that American MTV BET wants But I'm just saying we can't go so far into that side where we start dissing what made Asians Not a hundred percent, but like largely be successful in America But do you think that this is different than the response that it's just what it gotten from Asians? Maybe 10 to 15 years for sure It is because I think that all Asians 10 years ago whether or not you were from this type of family or not That's gonna make you like build these like advanced algorithmic AI apps You probably had a respect for it or you're like my cousin does that he's cool I'm like in the streets, but like I gotta respect him I mean, I think generally and if I had to take to perspective of these commenters Is that they felt uncool because they were like dang it man Look now all the non Asians are gonna see how once again Asians are nerds and they're the teacher's pet And they're doing something uncool because we want to be these cool cheaters. They use chat GPT for our essays He spoiled my plans. I'll never be right Is certainly not a project X guy cuz he's not just a nerd. He's a nerd Nark he's a nerd. I think and I can't help because he's our dad So of course, I know what dad would say in this situation. He's like What is cool guys? Why do you want to be cool? What Edward did was cool only point zero zero one percent of The population can even do this and he is going to change the world with his mind That is cool to me right just like a job or rank dunk That is only available for zero point zero zero zero one percent of the population to achieve and build this What job or rent does on the basketball court is also cool And you know what I really didn't like it is because we are not asking anybody to say that Edward 10 Because you know he got sharp pointy ears like a Vulcan and he kind of you know I'm sure people are thinking he's like Spock You know have robot half human or whatever but I'm saying nobody's asking to call him the drip God Senpai or be like nerd Bay. Nobody's trying to say that he's Taeyang or Jackson Wang or whatever Asian-American Influencer swag gods there are with broccoli cuts or whatever dancer everybody's looking up to he's in his lane But then people from this lane like we said they're trying to self identify themselves by what identities They're trying to push away from right right right which leads us to point number two David I get it. Nobody wants to be a lame Virgin square uncool whatever like bad boxy haircut nerd head ass, right? You know what I mean? That's like the terms that you know, whatever but he's using an MTV BET culture That there is a very strong anti-intellectual strain in America It's been there since PT Barnum and Bailey since the conception of America since the bloody revolutions against the British I don't want to get too much into it. It goes go crazy But basically I don't like it when Asians try to buy into that because being on point and executing Whether it's on small business finances all the way to high-level academics It's such a huge part of Asians advantages to become successful in America I mean if you think about it if you came if your parents or your grandparents came over here as immigrants with no money Right and not any sort of advantage whatsoever and they and they still made a good life for themselves You know how much work and on-pointness that took maybe a little bit of luck too But honestly it just took a lot of work and so it kind of looks like that these kids are looking down on this work Yes, he created an app that detects essays. It's kind of a a very niche app or whatever Yes, yeah, it's like he had to build the algorithms. Yeah It's an impressive thing to do, but it is a snitchy app I guess but I guess for people like us or people other successful people I don't think we're thinking that way because we're just like oh well I don't know. I wasn't gonna use chat GPT to write my YouTube and not only that if we actually hire people I want to know they can actually do what they say they can and they didn't just use chat GPT to like gain their credentials Right. What this brings us to point number three. I gotta stay on point number two one last thing Andrew It's not like we're going to be the tallest strongest people to scare everybody to listen to us And we're not necessarily the most commanding or like hyper communicative. So I'm just saying I'm not saying Asians shouldn't go be these newfound peep fangled people and explore things in America and even explore Whatever new experiences that were like taboo in the east or whatever But I'm just saying we can't look down on like traditional culture from Asia either Especially when those traditional cultures at least some of them. I'm not talking about the emotional expressiveness of Asia Helped us become who we are Moving on to number three. I did it though. Everybody it comes down everybody's family. Okay And here is maybe our bias in the situation We come from a highly highly educated family even though we chose to choose a route in life where you don't need any education Right, and I get it We grew up in a town where a lot of people's parents didn't even graduate high school They were refugees from various wars in Asia, you know They're just trying to get by and raise their kids in America and those kids some of them chose academics Some of them go into the streets. Some of them pick like a weird mixed gray zone route It's hard to describe But basically what I'm saying is everybody brings something different to the table, right? And America has always needed nerds to uplift it even though the nerds were never looked at as cool and popular culture I'll put it this way under we have a cousin who was born into a business family, right? He doesn't really Need to be that good at numbers He just needs to be good at relationships and networking and not lose the money But basically what I'm saying is a lot of times people look at like rich white people in America How they're not good at math and they're not good at algorithms or the hardcore work and they're like oh look at How rich they are they're even richer than Edward Tien's family like doing all the work and I'm like yeah That's true because they own a lot of assets already But if your family is not in that type of situation You can't look down on the guys who are actually like building the real work You know me because you're not in a position to just flip assets and do arbitrage That's the worst thing I could imagine is Asian Americans looking at like rich white people who have multi-generational Wealth who are born into a lot of asset management and then try to take that attitude on for their life when they Don't have that volume of assets to flip around right right right all right. You know what and that brings us to point number four David I Think Edward is the hero that we didn't expect we get because here's the thing guys I'm not saying that we're gonna go heads up with AI and we're gonna be a battle of the humans versus machines anytime soon I'm not saying I'm not one of those people But I will say this that if there is ever a war against the machines It's gonna be a war against the programs and our general is gonna look more like Edward TN Then you think maybe it might not be Edward. He's not gonna look like Benedict Cumberbatch. Okay, that's gonna be the movie version Yeah, it'll be a nerd of some type. Okay, that's what I'm saying He is gonna be the John Connor because he can program something that can at least detect AI So you're saying Andrew when the rise of the robots inevitably comes in the AI chat GPT like 27 wants to bug out and You know bite the human hands you gonna need some Edward TNs to come in Code on like six mechanical keyboards some weapons to destroy mr. Smith in the matrix I'm telling you the first war against the machines is not gonna be fought with machine guns or laser guns It's gonna be fought on the keyboards guys That's what I'm trying to say anyways long story short Andrew This is my fifth point and this is a point where I am empathizing with the people who are like dude Edward TN is a loser man. He ain't cool man. I'm over here where my broccoli cut Yeah, clearly he's friends that do droogs or sell droogs. We chillin cooler than Edward TN for sure in an American like You know weed smoking says for sure you're cooler and you probably have a different social life That's not even close I'm not like trying to take that away from anybody and I empathize with that because that was me to some extent You know I mean I have an appreciation for both sides But I'm just saying that basically like when you're in these lanes You can't hate on this lane because it feels like the nerd Asians are being more ten out of ten successful in the nerd lane Whereas the cool cloud Asians it feels like our cap has been like five or six You know what I'm saying like everybody got two lanes in America And I hate that America set up this way, but it is what it is right I can somewhat agree in the macro picture that you even got the cool bucket or the nerd bucket But it feels like the Asians that went into the nerd bucket are rising higher on that respective ladder You mean that to put it plainly it feels like Asians are doing a better job of being nerdy Then the cool Asians are doing a good of a job of being cool. Yes I would compare it to Asians are having almost ten out of ten success in golf tennis swimming diving figure skating versus Asians Getting better but still struggling in the NFL NBA Like NHL and you know less so MLB, but yeah, right right. Okay. All right. Well, I mean I think that that is I'm just saying that that would be wouldn't that be like you to Watanabe Hating on Naomi Osaka Because she's like ten out of ten at tennis, but he wouldn't do that He probably loves her because he both from Japan and they both just show in love to each other because they're Asian Hey, man, I think there's a lot to unpack tier you guys I don't know if you think we took it too deep, but any yeah, that's what we do on this channel We taking it deep. We over know that one of these pocket cup do I was just joking. They ain't even a serious ball Yeah, all right, I'll be honest. I don't think Edward Tan is really fazed by these comments And I don't think they're just internet comments. I don't think anybody's going up to it is Going up to the Princeton campus being like that's Edward. He's corny. He's a teacher's pet He doesn't want us to change I don't think anybody's doing that by the way, but it just kind of it's a signal. It's a it's symbolic symbolic of just how assimilated to some Like anti-intellectual aspects of America the Gen Z agent. All right. Well, you guys let us know in the comments down below We shared what we think okay? You guys let us know what you think about Edward. Did he do a good thing? Did he do a corny cheesy nerdy thing or is he just doing his thing? I don't know you let us know in the comments down below and until next time we out peace
