Summary
Dave expects AI to last in verifiable uses like coding and creative work, where these tools really shine. Attestation and knowledge work are different: knowledge work assumes knowledge, and these models don't have any.
Not in the audio. The opening words 'work. Man, that is never going to be reliable. It's' are in an Unknown-labeled cue. They're kept because they plainly continue Dave's sentence ('attestation work? and knowledge work') from the surrounding Dave run.
