In the rapid-fire game, Jason gives a measured take: for performing surgery in a hospital he'd still trust the human surgeon over robots, because safety and precision matter so much — though maybe Dyna will solve it one day. For walking your dog he notes he's seen videos of robot dogs walking real dogs.

To close the episode, Thea plays a rapid-fire game asking whether robots or humans will do various jobs in 10 years — flipping fast food burgers, delivering packages, teaching kids in a classroom, walking your dog, performing surgery. On walking your dog, Jason notes "I have seen videos of robot dogs walking like real dogs." On performing surgery in a hospital, his answer is humans: "surgery is where like safety is so important and the precision required," and there are a lot of research papers on surgical robots, but it's one area he'd be very careful with. "I would still trust the human surgeon than robots — or maybe Dina will solve it one day, we don't know, we'll see." His overall framing is that it depends on the application.
