Exactly.
Is just such a huge game changer and unlock for the whole economy.
Yes.
And that's what I think is really exciting about it.
Well, I have some thoughts on the question you asked about is the industry doing a good job with PR.
I think the answer is clearly no.
I think they are scaring the bejesus out of the public, and that's why the popularity is right down there with, I don't know, what was it, Iran?
I think we're a little more popular than Iran.
Or 47, anyway.
We've only had two.
But it is very much a U.S.-specific problem.
If you look at data, sentiment data across countries, what you'll see is that other countries are much more optimistic about AI than the U.S.,
I think Stanford did a study on AI optimism.
They simply asked the question, do you think AI is going to be more beneficial than harmful?
Something like 80% of people in China said yes.
In the US, it was in the 30s, and it might be even lower now.
And it's not just China and the US.
You see across Asian countries, they tend to be pretty optimistic.
And then the US and Western Europe tend to be pretty pessimistic about it.
I think that's less about the reality of AI and more about our media environment and who influences it.
