    📌 Quote from the Episode:
    📣 "People think that, hey, machine learning, AI is coming to replace me. It's taking my job. The idea is to convince or let people see that it's there to make your life easier. You spend most of your time on the most complex problems. If you have vanilla problems, you can just rely on the machine to do it for you. So, it's trying to help you. It's not trying to replace you." – Vivek Anand
