Um and that middle bit.
Kind of reminds me a little bit of Metaverse.
In the sense that metaverse became this vague, fuzzy word that didn't mean anything.
I mean, you could talk about NFTs, you could talk about VR, you could talk about games, but if somebody said metaverse, you didn't know what they were trying to talk about.
And it's the same now when people say, you know,
How are we using AI?
I think okay, what do you mean?
Do you mean you're using do you mean that this is enabling you to automate a bunch of processes?
Do you mean that this is gonna do a bunch of specific things?
Or are you just talking about AI, the way people talked about metaverse or the information superhighway or something?
And that bit in the middle is it's this kind of funny unreality in that on one hand
Oh my God, have you seen the new model?
And it can do this and it can do this and it can do this.
But it still can't actually replace any of the software you use.
It can't replace Excel.
It can't and that was the case in all previous platform shifts as well.
You know, the web couldn't replace Excel and you know the new thing can never replace the old thing.
But you've got this sort of sense of like latent possibility, but nothing you can actually put your hands on tangibly.
Do you know what I mean?
Absolutely.
