but the tools got better.

There's better ways to make use of it.

So the thought is in the future, AI is going to be more integrated into more things.

It'll be more agentic.

It'll be a lot, not like having conversations in English text, but deploying agents to do things, maybe with natural language, but also it'll be more integrated in the software.

Individual tools will be more common.

So it'll be much more common.

I'm in Microsoft Excel.

And I'm like, can you sort row five by this amount and cut out all columns that have less than as many values?

And it does that.

That's what the interactions are going to become like.

And so this idea of having a

a singular anthropomorphized entity through which you're having all conversations.

That's almost like an accident of early AI.

I mean, OpenAI will tell you this, that ChatGPT was supposed to just be a demo of the type of things you could do using the APIs into their language models.

It's like the type of tool you can build that would make use of AI.

And then it caught them completely off guard.

And everyone wanted to use ChatGPT and chat with it because it was really cool.

I don't think that's going to be the form vector.

So I think a lot of these issues we have now, like this is weird.
