I mean, it's just a constant.

Yeah, but, like, for, you know, for just, like, it's just, like, a constant conversation partner.

When you're doing research, when you're writing, you know, you can go back to that PDF and ask, like, you know, whatever, how many species are there in this texon?

And you still have to check it, but it's getting, obviously it's getting more and more reliable really, really quickly.

But I think it hasn't yet like,

You know, in some of the deeper research, it's not the equal of humans yet.

And then in the synthesis, it's really not.
