And I should probably go to a chat GPT or, or Claude and ask this, but I think it's something like 95% of Google. I say Google it's alphabet, right? Is the parent company 90 to 95% of alphabets revenue comes basically from online advertising. And this AI phase shift, this huge transition is going to disrupt that. And they'll figure it out eventually, I think.

But I don't think it will happen without some type of drop. And Google really hasn't seen any major drops in revenue from what I can recall over the past, you know, 25 or whatever years. So that is my prediction number six. And I want to pipe in before my seventh prediction. As you listen to these, think about where the opportunity is going to be for bootstrap startups.

And as we see shifts and new tools arise, like let's say they do have ads in AI chat interfaces. Well, they're going to have to have an ad management tool for that that they will build, they being ChatGPT, Claude, whoever. Usually those are not going to be very good at the start. So if they have an API, is there a way to build a third-party tool that can manage the ads better?

This is what tiny seed company Linklow has done for LinkedIn ads. It's linklow.io. If you are using LinkedIn's built-in ad interface, you know how painful it can be And link low helps make that a lot better. So is there an equivalent for these other new ad interfaces that are going to be created? It's just one idea, one example I think of as I look through these predictions.

My seventh prediction is that the term AI will be used in fewer H1s than it is today, especially across startups, because AI will just be assumed. It will just be the norm. It will be the default. You will assume AI is in every product. that you log into in every SaaS app that you use as it becomes ubiquitous.

I think back to maybe 2005 on the internet when as SaaS companies, they weren't called SaaS back then, they were called software, web software, web-based software, or ASP, application service providers. As those became more prominent, they literally would have statements on their homepage. You don't need to operate a server to use our software. It's not client-server.

Access from any internet browser. And also entering your credit card is safe and secure. Like all this stuff that was such a paradigm shift to get people to try to get their head around it. Well, it's like, well, I don't need a server. How do I do it? And there were, there would literally be like FAQs of, well, you just log in here in the web browser and you use the software.

And it was, you had to explain that to people. And these days it's like, well, it's AI for this. And it's your AI assistant. It's your AI that I think, I mean, I guess if it's an AI assistant, that'll, that'll stick around. But I do think there's going to be a new term that comes around because AI means too many things right now.

And I almost wish the term like virtual assistant, you know, that came to mean someone who was remote, right? It's like, oh, back in the four-hour workweek days of, I don't remember when that was, 08 or 09, virtual assistant came to mean, oh, I have someone in, you know, in the Philippines or in APAC or in just an inexpensive region.

And really virtual, I don't know, I wish that term hadn't already been co-opted for that because AI means too many things. And I think there will be terms that splinter off of this to better describe what they actually are. But all that said, my prediction is not that. I'm digressing.
