And I think just having all these artists here is very valuable because they have a lot of taste. I mean, they have... They really kind of have an idea of what's weird and what's quirky and what's unhinged that lets us go move the brand forward.
Well, I don't know if it'll make us more artistic. I think the artists are going to do better. And by the way, that's something that one of our engineers, I was talking to one of our engineers who pointed this out. Before like 50 years ago, math nerds were not in a good spot. They were just, they kind of were ostracized.

At some point, because of technology, math nerds, like the richest people in the world are math nerds. And like, they got a boon. It's likely that because of AI, math nerds are not going to be all that valuable anymore. It's cyclical. So basically, we had a good 50-year run. Like us math nerds, I am a math nerd. We had a good 50-year run.

Look, I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing. It is our belief at Duolingo. You know, I've told this to people because sometimes people here ask me, you know, a computer is going to take my job. What I tell everyone is a computer is not going to take your job. A person that can use AI will take your job if you don't use AI.

So the one thing that I'll tell you is no matter what, do not stick your hand in the sand and not use AI. Get as good as possible with these tools as you can. Do everything you can with these tools. And that's what we're telling people internally. That, I think, is a no-brainer. You should just do that. Now, in terms of what to concentrate on, that's very hard to say.
