So I think there's two different things we can talk about. One is how much the technology itself has changed, and that has gotten way better. I mean, if you think about the AI we were excited about back in April of 2023, it was so primitive relative to what we have now. And the things that the technology is capable of are – pretty mind-blowing to me.

But even more than that, the rate at which it will continue to get better over the next year, and if we came back in another 18 months and talked about what it can do, I think it'll feel like as big or maybe even bigger as a gap from April 2023 to December of 2024. The other thing that's happened is it's really integrated into society.

Like, back then, it was still a curiosity, something many people had heard of. People really use it now a lot for, like, a lot of their work, their personal lives, their... It's... I've never seen a technology become widely adopted this fast, not just as something people like dabble with, but something that people like really use in all the ways you were talking about.

So that part of the adoption curve happened much more quickly than I thought. I expected the technology to happen quickly.

I use it in all sorts of ways, but the newest one, a few months ago, we released search integration. And now ChatGPT can search the internet for kind of real-time information. And of everything we've ever shipped, that was the one that felt like it doubled my usage all at once. And since then, I mean, I must have still used Google for something, but I can't remember what it is.

And I switched ChatGBT to be my default search in Chrome, and I have not looked back. The degree to which... that behavior changed in me for something that was really deeply ingrained. And now the fact that like when I remember the way that I used to search feels like kind of, oh man, that was like a pre-iPhone kind of equivalent. That's the sort of like level of shift that I feel about it.
