That's why I think something will fill it.

You know, that's funny something you said, because a year ago, I predicted that within three years, we would be using LLMs for search, and search before LLMs would feel antiquated. And man, I was like two blocks ahead of the band on that one, Adam. I feel like now you're like, that was a prediction. Wasn't that just a statement of fact?

It was like, no, no, it was just barely not a statement of fact a year ago. But...

I don't know how they screwed that up so badly. And Simon, you call this the gullibility problem, which I think is a very apt description. And I saw this on this past weekend where... the AI-assisted search believes that adjunct professors in a college average $133,000 in salary in Ohio.

And you had people who were just like, I'm actually genuinely concerned that people think like, when I was an adjunct in Ohio, I was living at the poverty line. That is not, and you kind of trace back how it got there, and it got there because of mistaken information that it then treated as authoritative.

So you're saying that the home repairs LLM search plus I feel lucky could result in devastating consequences.

That's great. But I like your prediction that you'd be surprised if this doesn't happen within three years.

And whoever succeeds, they'll say that they took an agent approach. It was agents that allowed them to do it, at least in their pitch deck. All right, are we on to six years now? Are we at kind of six years? Are we ready for... Simon, you ready to take us deep into the future here in your... Yeah, yeah, go on then.

And this is so getting out from the idea of like, okay, this is just like regurgitating art that it's trained on and we're kind of absconding with the copyrighted work of artists and actually beginning to think like, this is actually a tool for artists. We're not actually misappropriating anyone's work, but allowing them to achieve their artistic vision with many fewer people.

Yeah. Interesting. And that's exciting. I love it. And so we, we will have art that we could never have before because it was, it was just too expensive to create.
