**Cameron Wills:** or you know, I've never made a Unity editor script before. And so actually, I used chat TBT to help me make the chat TBT plugin for Unity.

**Cameron Wills:** So that's very meta. Yeah.

**Jon Radoff:** I am here with Cameron Willes, whose artificial intelligence asset on the Unity asset store went to number one within a very short period of time of him launching it. Cameron, welcome to building the metaverse. Tell me a little bit about the asset you created for Unity. What was the thought behind it? Why do you think it went to number one so fast?

**Cameron Wills:** Well, I knew that just being on Twitter so much, you sort of get the front lines of the AI news that comes out. And it was such a viral topic. And then the first time I used chat TBT, I was blown away myself, which is how far AI had come. I mean, I had been following it with the release of Dolly too. And I was playing with that. I just saw these tools coming out.
