I mean, I think that what I'm excited about is really, you know, kind of the evolution of that jagged frontier that I was talking about, where it's good at solving IMO math problems, but can't order you a plane ticket.
And, you know, right now there's still a lot of requirement for, for lack of better words, glue in between different steps.
And I think as models get better, that requirement will go down.
And in a sense, I think that'll actually be sort of deflationary from a cost perspective, which is what we all want as, you know, patients and people.
So I think that's kind of the most exciting part.
This is maybe not a direct answer to your question, but I think the other thing that I'm really excited about, and this part adds complexity, is...
that I think we will see sort of faster advances in sort of drug discovery.
And then you'll be bringing more new things to market.
And whenever there's a new thing, there's kind of the ripples of, wait, how do we account for this new thing in the context of revenue cycle and this kind of like back and forth, you know, kind of thing.
on sort of what the proper payment should be.
Yeah, that's right.
And so I'm actually, you know, I actually think that in a sense, the
for lack of better words, deflationary work that I think AI will bring to revenue cycle is necessary for the health system to actually absorb what I hope is sort of an increase in the velocity of our kind of understanding of how to care for patients.
Yeah, yeah.
I have a joke here, which is that forcing two different AIs to argue about, you know, kind of the right payment over a phone line is actually the genesis for the Terminator movie.
Where they solve the problem by saying, you know what, this would be much easier without the people.
But I actually I'm actually sort of, you know, our loyalty is to our customers who are the providers.
But.
In some sense, our greater loyalty is just to make the payments accurate.
Providers shouldn't be reimbursed more than the care that they actually provided either.
