I think people think about this and they're like, oh, wow, AI is going to impact legal and it's going to just destroy all these jobs.

The thing they aren't thinking about is all of their customers are using AI to create more products.

What happens when you create more products?

You need more product to legal advice.

What happens when you're expanding into other countries faster?

What do you need?

Regulatory advice, right?

And so I think people are thinking about AI in all of these industries as like a vacuum.

And the reality is you should think about AI as like the entire economy, what's going to happen.

And probably what's going to happen is the economy is going to explode.

These companies are going to have crazy expectations for what they can do.

And the professional service providers are going to have to respond to that.

I don't think it'll be this year.

I think there will be bumps.

Like I definitely think we will have like more moments like the deep seek moment where like everyone freaks out, right?

And I think we're close enough to like an edge of...

If enough people say that there's going to be a bust, it's pretty easy for one thing to happen and for everyone to freak out and there to be a bust and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Those are usually pretty short.

I think that we will have a bunch of short ones, but I think long-term AI is going to completely reshape every part of the economy.

I very strongly believe that.
