I don't think the old methods are going away because you still need to do numerical reasoning on data streams. I actually am a believer that we can deliver things that were impossible just a few years ago. What's really interesting is there's so much data that was off limits before that we can put to use now. There are so many new doors that we can open. That's really exciting. We've been careful about not overmarketing the AI. The reason for that is we think it's very easy to overmarket AI and it's veryeasy to disappoint customers with that.
