In an age of generative AI and algorithms, he's worried it'll get sucked into the slush pit of a chatbot, or someone else might steal his idea.He spoke on the subject on the Mike and Rami Are Still Here podcast.

You don't really talk about content when you're working on it cos, I dunno, it's getting slurped up by AI or people are gonna copy it, or something else like that."This isn't "a hard rule," he adds, but "I just don't feel as comfortable talking about what I'm working on again."
