Is it you're on a sales trip?

Is it what's the speed?

Yeah, I mean, if you look at our stack of guests over the past few months, we just had DocuSign on the show.

They're like, AI is going to write the documents for you because we have access to your business intelligence.

We have LexisNexis on the show.

He's like, the lawyers will just start doing the research here and drafting out of these claims.

That seems very dangerous to me.

But you see this universe of legal work is being automated very quickly.

Yeah.

because the AI systems are good at words.

You can either hire a 26-year-old who's been drunk for several years, that was me, and they can be whoever they are as a first-year associate, or you can have a robot do it, and maybe that's the same.

I think the question that I have in sort of a response is I think it will happen very fast, and then it will slow down because everyone will realize

There's not a next generation of people who understand how to control the systems.

And that investment still needs to be made.

And the outcomes of those systems are not as good as we wanted them to be.

Literally just before we sat down, Goldman Sachs announced that it was putting AI into more of its accounting functions and other functions at the company.

And you can see the acceleration.

I think my prediction is we're going to accelerate into it and then we're going to pump the brakes really hard when we realize these systems are not as predictable as we want them to be.

But I will have you back faster than 15 years to see how it's going.

I've loved this conversation.
