So, you know, you mentioned like paralegals and stuff like that.

There's a higher prevalence of tasks that have high AI exposure and a lower prevalence of tasks that are more immune to AI, specifically generative AI.

So this is not a commentary on like, you know, technology at large.

This is really this specific technology.

I believe the pattern, but I also believe that it's not so plausible that these companies are just substituting labor for AI that quickly.

I mean,

You know, you said you've worked at large organizations.

I've worked at large organizations.

I used to run workforce analytics at IBM.

And I know that like nothing gets done the way they want it to get done.

I don't know when they'll start actually adopting ad technology, but, you know, it's not going to be overnight.

And I don't really believe that firms are as sensitive to this technology in how they can substitute labor, which leads me to believe more that they're just taking safer bets and they're discounting the future more.

And I think what we're actually seeing is less of a commentary on what AI is doing, and it's more about what the expectation of AI is doing.

There is some thought

That, you know, oh, AI is very powerful.

It demos very well.

You know, you can do all, you know, you dazzle people.

And someday it will have a big effect on workflows in a large organization.

Maybe not today, but since we expect that that might happen, maybe it's better to take safer bets while we wait and see how this thing plays out.

and not something else.
