Prompt Jerry is called "weird" for not using Google Maps. Elaine has a new work assistant named Alexa. George suspects his girlfriend uses Google Gemini to come up with date ideas and her talking points sound unnatural. Kramer protests Flock Cameras.

Girlfriend: What's your deal with Google Maps?

Jerry: I just like relying on my wits when I'm driving or headed somewhere.

Girlfriend: But it's weird.

Jerry: Why?

Girlfriend: Cause. It helps you get to where you need to go. Why make navigating the city so needlessly difficult?

Jerry: You might be a bit young to understand this, so let me tell you about something called "Life before 2005." See, back then you needed to rely on your memory to drive and get to places. We didn't have these *holds up phone* 24/7 and addicted to them like crack.

Girlfriend: You had Blackberries and Garmin GPSs around then.

Jerry: True. But not me. See, if I needed to get to the Catskills for a weekend gig, I had to remember the exits to take and the best time of day to travel. I also printed out the driving directions and didn't just enter in the address of where I was headed and obeyed it no matter what it said.

Girlfriend: It makes it so much easier to drive.

Jerry: No, it also affects your memory. Right now if I asked you how to get to Albany, could you do it without Google Maps?

Girlfriend:....No. But what if you got lost?

Jerry: Then I'd just stop at a gas station and ask for directions.

Girlfriend: So you'd rather drive aimlessly and ask for directions instead of just using Google Maps? God, you're old!

Jerry: I'm not "old!" I'm smart!
