(upbeat music) - We have been through
technological advances before and they all have promised a
utopian life without drudgery. And the reality is they come for our jobs. So I want your assurance that AI isn't removing
the human from the loop. - This is not about replacing
the human in the loop. In fact, it's about empowering the human. - Like it's an assistant.
- It's an assistant. - What?
(audience laughing) We're all getting assistants? (audience laughing) It's an assistant. AI works for you
night and day tirelessly, and all you had to do was remember their (beeping) birthday. That's all you had to do. (audience laughing) - But I get it. It's an assistant. It's about productivity. And that's good for all of us. Yes, although they do let
the real truth slip out every now and again. - There will be overall displacement in the labor market. - You can get the same work
done with fewer people. That's just the nature of productivity. - That that doesn't sound good. (audience laughing) Sam
e work done with fewer people. Not a math guy. But I think fewer means less, yes? (audience laughing) So AI can cure diseases
and solve climate change, but that's not exactly what companies are going to
be using it for, are they? - So this is like
productivity without the, without the tax of more people. - Without the tax of more people. The people tax, formerly
referred to as employees. (audience laughing) But you know, the promise of
AI versus the reality of AI, it's not quite crystal
clear in
my mind yet how that's gonna work out for workers. Do you have anyone who
wants to lay this out more bluntly perhaps while auditioning to be a bond villain from
his mountaintop layer? - Left completely to the
market and to their own devices these are fundamentally
labor replacing tools. (audience laughing) - Did that guy just call us tools? But he's actually warning us. Is there anyone who might say
the same thing as this fella, but looks at losing employees as a feature of AI and not a bug? -
The CEO of a company laid off 90% of its customer support staff after arguing that AI
is kind of the reason. Why did you do this? It seemed a little brutal. - It's not, I think like it's brutal, if you think like as a human. (audience laughing) - AI, it's brutal, if you think like as a human. (audience laughing) It's not the catchiest ad
slogan I've ever heard. So while we wait for this
thing to cure our diseases and solve climate change, it's replacing us in the workforce. Not in the future, bu
t now. So what exactly are we
supposed to be doing for work? - I think we'll need new types of jobs to help us embed AI and maintain AI in the workplace. - Prompt engineers,
they're basically people who learn how to use AI systems and in effect how to program them. - Who would've thought that there would be a
prompt engineer, right? - Right.
(audience laughing) Prompt engineer. I think you mean types question guy. (audience laughing) And by the way, if there's any job that can be easily replaced
by
AI, it's types question guy. (audience laughing) This is some shit you got going here. AI models have hoovered up the entire sum of the human experience that we've accomplished
over thousands of years, and now we just hand it off to be their prompt engineers. And by the way, you're not fooling anybody by adding the word engineer. You're not the types question guy. You are the vice president
of question input. (audience laughing) This...
(audience laughing) It's true. It's like a janitor is
a
doctor of mopping. (audience laughing) This whole AI thing is a bait and switch. You're acting like you're helping us. Oh, AI, it's supposed to be my assistant, but now I'm making AI (beeping) toast. I'm Jarvis, but guess what? (audience laughing) (audience applauding) No, you listen to me. I got news for you, AI. I'm not Siri, you're Siri. (Siri tone beeping) Siri, while I have your attention, let me ask you a question. - [Siri] Sure, John. But first, could you run and
fetch me some lithium ca
dmium? - Yeah, sure, that's not a problem. Mother (beeping).
(audience laughing) (audience applauding) I didn't wanna have to do this AI, but it's pretty clear with
the technology this powerful, like nuclear power and atomic weapons, I'm gonna have to place a little call to my good powers in the
United States government, perhaps even the House of
Representatives or the Senate. And they're about to open
up a can of what's AI now? - Do you understand what AI does? - I have an elementary understand
ing. - I've got a lot to learn
about what's going on. - Very frankly, it's new
terrain and uncharted territory. - Do we have the knowledge
set here to do it? No. - The short answer is no. The long answer is Hell no. (audience laughing) - And the longest answer
is H to the E, to the L, to the L or to the no. (audience laughing) - Hell, I don't even know how
to use an answering machine. (audience laughing) Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Look, I'm not against progress, but let's lo
ok to our history
to see how we've dealt with previous economic disruptions. - We can retrain workers
from one generation and create jobs for the next. - Retrain workers who do lose their jobs for even better jobs in the future. - Retrain in order to
be productive workers. - Upskill America to
help workers of all ages. - Train and retrain workers for new jobs. - Give me a break. Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program for God's sake. (audience laughing) - And I'll figh
t every
one of you Jackholes who says different. (audience laughing) But that's the game. Whether it's globalization
or industrialization, or now artificial intelligence, the way of life that you are accustomed to is no match for the promise of
more profits and new markets, which sounds brutal if you're a human, (audience laughing) but at least those other disruptions took place over a century or decades. AI's gonna be ready to
take over by Thursday. (audience laughing) And once that happens, wh
at the (beeping) is there left for the rest of us to do? - Time is not a terrible thing. - AI freeing us up to think
about things at a higher level is going to, is gonna help. It's gonna, you know,
give us our time back. We'll be able to express
ourselves in new creative ways. - You know, he's right. I've been thinking about this all wrong. It's not joblessness, it's
self-actualizing me time. (audience laughing) I'll live the artist's life. It'll gimme more time
to explore my passions. You know,
I'm an aging suburban dad. I'll learn to play the drums. (audience laughing) You know, music, ta, ta, ti, ti, ta. Music is what makes us human. (drumming music) (audience laughing)
(drumstick cracking) - Let's move on to the
fight over abortion rights, where today, Florida
handed us a mixed bag. - Now to Florida, where
the state Supreme Court just issued two major
rulings on abortion rights. - [Reporter] Two major decisions. The Florida State Supreme Court has now cleared the way for one of the
strictest abortion bans in
the nation to go into effect. It bans abortion at just
six weeks into pregnancy. But at the same time, that
same state Supreme Court also allowing this issue to
be on the ballot in November, allowing Florida voters to decide whether they wanna
protect access to abortion up until viability, which is considered to be
around 24 weeks into pregnancy. - Florida, what is going on here? You're restricting abortion, but you're also putting it on the ballot. Pick a lane. (audi
ence laughing) These are some crazy mood swings. You better hope you're not pregnant. (audience laughing) Look, a six week abortion ban is obviously a terrible
setback for women's rights, but there is a small glimmer of hope and that the voters also have a chance to legalize abortion again, which is good news and also depressing to be
celebrating that as good news. (audience laughing) But in this climate, I guess that's where we're at right now. I, I don't know whether I'm happy or not. I feel l
ike Ron DeSantis' face. (audience laughing) But hey, at least
abortion is on the ballot. Finally, the people of
Florida will be able to choose something besides
community service or jail time. (audience laughing) And that is something, that is something. Let's move on to sports. We're in the final
stretch of March Madness, that special time of year that turns every office into an underground gambling ring. (audience laughing) And last night, all eyes were on a rematch between two of the biggest
stars in the tournament. (audience member cheering) - [Reporter] In GOAT fashion,
Caitlin Clark led Iowa over defending champion LSU (audience cheering) in a rematch of last year's final. - [Announcer] For anyone who
questioned her greatness, Caitlin Clark had the answer,
41 points, nine threes, 12 assists a record breaking masterpiece that lived up to the hype of a rematch in an epic battle of greats. - [Announcer] Clark steps
back, fires, you bet. (audience cheering) Oh my, from Schenectady. S
he's simply ridiculous. She's possessed. (audience laughing) - This poor announcer. Caitlin Clark hit so many big shots that the guy was clearly
running out of things to say. (audience laughing) She's ridiculous. She's possessed. She's a witch, drown her. (audience laughing) I don't know. But honestly, honestly,
what an awesome rivalry. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, two fierce competitors
playing their hearts out, captivating the nation while
they're still in college. My biggest accomplishment
in college was getting a single
dorm because of my IBS. (audience laughing) Hey, if there was a sock on the door, it was an especially bad night. (audience laughing) Point is it feels like women's basketball is having a moment this year, and you can tell by how much the media can't stop talking about how
they're talking about it. - What a great thing for
women's sports that we care. We're talking about it tonight on "CNN", because people are caring and ultimately that is good. We care. - The fac
t that we're talking
about women's basketball and any, you know,
women's sports in general. I mean, this is really great. - I freaking love it.
- It's really great. - I have done this for 32 years. I've never once spent five minutes of any show I've ever done anywhere talking about a great women's
game last night at any level. (audience laughing) - Okay, I might say more about
you, but we'll take the win. We'll take it. That's right. People are excited about
women's basketball right now. They're
discovering it like it's the first time
your mom tried sushi. (audience laughing) Oh my God, have you heard about this? Spread the word. But everyone is raving. Everyone. Even Shaquille O'Neal said
women's basketball this year is a better game than men's basketball. (audience cheering) Yeah, yeah. And he's like the most famous
men's basketball player. That's like Chef Boyardee telling you he only eats Spaghetti Os now. (audience laughing) Spaghetti Os, the official
food of clinical depression.
(audience laughing)
(audience applauding) Spaghetti Os, wanna hurt an
Italian person's feelings? Try Spaghetti Os. (audience laughing) One more. Spaghetti Os, you don't
have to love your kids. (audience laughing)
(audience applauding) Anyway, think about how far
women's basketball has come. 10 years ago, if you went
to a bar on a Monday night to watch women's basketball, it was because you were an alcoholic. (audience laughing) But today, if you're at
a bar on a Monday night, it's because you're
an alcoholic who also wants to watch
women's basketball. (audience laughing) That is progress. So this has been a hugely
successful college tournament for the women, even
despite some obstacles. - [Announcer] In the women's tournament, controversy is brewing after four games were played on a court
in Portland, Oregon, where the three point line
was about six inches closer to the hoop on one side. The error was discovered before
North Carolina played Texas in the elite eight. Both teams coaches
decided
to go ahead with the game to not delay the tournament. - Okay, I really relate
to this as a woman. It is so classic for
someone else to (beeping) up and we're like, oh, the line
is messed up it, it's fine. We'll just go ahead and play four games. You can fix it later or not. Whatever, I'm sorry. Yes, by total coincidence,
Trans Visibility Day happened to fall on Easter this year, which seemed like, I don't
know a good fit to me. I mean, Jesus did identify as the Father, the Son,
and the
Holy Spirit. (audience laughing) Live your truth, queen. (audience cheering) - Now, you wouldn't think that
Easter falling on a holiday that's been on March 31st for 15 years would be that big of a deal. But conservatives process this like a child meeting the Easter Bunny. (audience laughing) By losing their (beeping) minds. - I think everyone should
be insulted by this. The intentional nature of this. - To me is I, I mean,
I'm just gonna say it. I think it's demonic. - They clearly want us to b
ow at the altar of the trans community
instead of bow to God. - We can't have one day for Easter? - What the hell was Biden thinking when he declared Easter Sunday
to be Trans Visibility Day? (Trump audience booing) Such total disrespect to Christians. And November 5th is going
to be called something else. You know what it's gonna be called? Christian Visibility Day when
Christians turn out in numbers that nobody has ever seen before. - Uh, this is America, buddy. Every day is Christian Visibili
ty Day. (audience laughing) Yes, conservatives threw
a hissy fit over this, including Donald Trump, who by the way, is not exactly an
authority on Christianity. - I'm wondering what one or two of your most favored Bible verses are? - Why I, I wouldn't want to get into it, because to me, that's very personal. You don't want to talk about the Bible. It's very personal. So, I don't want to get into verse. I don't want want get into... - There's no verses? - No. - Means a lot to you that
you think a
bout or cite? - The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics. The Old Testament guy or New Testament? - Probably equal. (audience laughing) - Trump talks about
Christianity the way I sound at every book club. Oh, my favorite part of the book? I'd have to say the the title (audience laughing) and the symbolism. All the symbols. Definitely not hiding from
my husband and children. (audience laughing) I also love that he says, "I can't talk about
it, it's too personal." Like h
e also has an NDA with the Bible. (audience laughing) Don't believe that horse face Bible. But that's my Trump impression. (audience laughing) - Thank you, thank you. I'll workshop it, I'll workshop it. - Trump aside, I have a question for the actual religious conservatives, why are you so upset about this? Trans Visibility Day had
no effect on your Easter. Nobody was at church like, well, we were gonna
celebrate the resurrection, but instead, everyone line up for your gender reassignment surger
y. (audience laughing) Please leave your penis
in the collection basket. The anger just seems so contrived. Especially when the people
who were the most outraged knew so little about the actual holiday they were protecting. - And the transgender community purposely chooses the day of Jesus' death or his resurrection,
whatever, Easter weekend. (audience laughing) - Yeah, you know, Easter,
it was Jesus's quinceanera, or the day he was forced to
leave the "Big Brother" house, whatever, but I'll ask
him about it the next time I go to
the, oh, you, you know, what, what's the place with all the lowercase Ts hanging on the wall? That the half naked, church, church. (audience laughing)
That's it, church. And you know what? The "Fox" audience deserves a higher level of con artistry than this. Jesse Waters, if you can
remember the green M and M's entire sexual history, you can Wikipedia what Easter is. (audience laughing) Look, I'm not here to
pick a fight with Easter. Easter's great, probably o
ur best holiday featuring a bunny who
crawled out of a nightmare. (audience laughing) But the level of outrage over this is totally out of proportion to what ultimately was an
innocuous scheduling conflict. I just, I wish I knew the
real reason they were upset. Luckily, they left us some Easter eggs. - It's absurd. And Joe Biden should
be ashamed of himself. And all these people say, "Yeah, but this is the day we've always recognized
Transgender Visibility Day. Well recognize it another
day, not
on Easter Sunday. It's an affront to the Bible. And quite frankly, it's
an affront to biology. There are two genders. People can't just go in and out of one like a revolving door. It's not normal. - Ah, there it is. Thank you least interesting
man in the world for saying the quiet part out loud. They don't think Transgender
Visibility Day should be moved. They think trans people
shouldn't be visible at all. Trans Day of Visibility could have been on national pasta day and they'd be like, this i
sn't a front to fettuccine. (audience laughing) And for what it's worth,
there's a false premise at the heart of this entire controversy, which is that there's even a
conflict between trans people and Christianity to begin with. There isn't. In fact, the Bible doesn't say
anything about trans people. It does, however, say,
to love thy neighbor and to not judge other people. And perhaps the most
famous of Bible verses, please do not sell me for $59.99 (audience laughing) to pay off your rape bond
, amen. (audience cheering) Let's move on to the presidential race. It's the reason your
therapist drives a Porsche. (audience laughing) At least mine does. I dunno. As you know, the president is decided by the electoral college. The incredibly over complicated system that our founders came up with as a prank on future generations. (audience laughing) And most states award
all their electoral votes to whoever wins the state. But Nebraska splits theirs up by district. And in 2020, that meant Joe
Biden received an electoral vote from liberal Omaha, because as it turns out,
every state has a Brooklyn. (audience laughing) But now Donald Trump has
realized that he wants that vote, and that could make all the difference. - Could the election all
come down to Nebraska? Donald Trump thinks so. He and his allies convincing
Nebraska's Republican governor to support a major change in the way the state has been doling out its electoral college votes
for the past 32 years. - [Reporter] Governor Jim
Hillen says, it's time for Nebraska to
speak with one unified voice by making the popular vote be the one that counts for all five delegates. Former President Trump
applauds that effort, but Democrats pushed back. - Pathetic worm, Donald Trump, thinks that he knows
what's best for Nebraska and what Nebraskans want, but this man obviously
wants this electoral vote because he's so scared he can't win the presidency without it. - Excuse me, ma'am, but
whatever happened to decorum? That's former pr
esident pathetic worm. (audience laughing)
(audience cheering) - Yeah, but the
implications here are huge. Biden's easiest path to the White House is to win Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, and Michigan, plus that one Nebraska vote. If he gets that, he can
lose every other swing state and still win the election. But if Nebraska makes this change, the election could end up in a tie. And you might be wondering what happens in that case. Well, it's simple really. Have you ever seen the "Purge" movies? (aud
ience laughing) It's like that. Nebraska should really, truly
keep this system though, because it's certainly a more fair way to divide up electoral votes than winner take all. In fact, what if every
state split up their votes like Nebraska by district or
maybe even by person, you know? Then whoever wins the most
persons would be president. (audience cheering) That would be pretty popular. Oh, we could call it the popular vote. I don't know, I'm just spit balling. (audience laughing) But let's m
ove on to some
exciting science news. Next Monday a solar eclipse will totally block out the
sun over parts of America. And we're all looking forward to having one brief moment when you can look up into the sky and see something besides
the door of a Boeing airplane plummeting towards the ground. (audience laughing) It's not just a moment for humans. An eclipse offers a once
in a lifetime opportunity for Rudy Giuliani to come
out and feed during the day. (audience laughing) Yeah, it's good for h
im. It's good for him. Now, in the old days, a total eclipse would be a time when people
would gather together as a community and burn the
witches responsible for it. (audience laughing) But these days we commemorate in the modern, enlightened way by trying to make that money. - This eclipse is causing a travel boom for small towns in its path. - [Announcer] Hotels are up about 550% in cities like Jackson, Missouri, where it'll cost on average
more than $600 a night. In Erie, Pennsylvania, it's
almost 800. - [Announcer] Companies
are rushing to cash in. Some of the strangest sun inspired foods, including chips you can
only get during the eclipse. Krispy Kreme is even teaming up with Oreos for a donut featuring cookie pieces. - [Reporter] To catch
the eclipse from the sky. Delta offering a flight
from Austin to Detroit to give onlookers an
out of this world view. - Wow. Talk about a flight where you do not wanna
be in the middle seat. (audience laughing) Imagine you end up
sitting next
to that guy who insists on keeping
his window shade down. (audience laughing) Although how cool to celebrate
the once in a lifetime event of a Delta flight taking off on time? (audience laughing)
(audience cheering) I love how every civilization honors the heavens in their own way. The ancient Incas built Machu Picchu. America put an Oreo on a donut. (audience laughing) Really milking this event
for everything it's worth. But, but look, we, we can't deny that the eclipse truly is
a rare, magical
moment. I mean, for those lucky
enough to be in its path, you'll never forget that you saw that. And nothing, nothing can
take that away from you. - Weather and clouds might get in the way of perfect eclipse viewing
in many parts of the country. - Mother (beeping). (audience laughing) (upbeat music)
