  1. Think that's why there'll be like a new set of cultural norms, like when the cell phone was introduced, there's places where it's rude to take a loud.

  2. Yeah, I think there'll be new social norms developed around this behavior because I think it's like real and it's valuable. And so it's like scary, I think, for a lot of people that this is happening, but I think it's a wave that started and is not going to stop.

  3. I mean, I think people learn in different ways, and AI voice products play really well to that. Masterclass launched kind of an interesting beta where they take people who have already recorded courses on the platform and turn them into voice agents, where then you can ask questions that are really specific to you. From my understanding, it basically does rag on everything they've said in the course. And so returns a fairly customized and accurate result. And that for me is interesting because I'm a fan of them as a company, but I've never had the attention span or the time to sit down and watch like a 12-hour masterclass. But I've had some really interesting conversations with the masterclass voice agents where I can talk to them for two or three or five minutes. And so I think that's an example of where we'll see real people turn into AI clones in ways that are useful.

  4. And so I think we're still waiting to see in many ways what the first great truly net new consumer voice experience will look like. There's some early examples. I think people are pulling ChatGPT advanced voice mode into fascinating directions. We've seen products like Granola blow up because they allow people to finally, for the first time, do something valuable with all of the things that they're saying all day. But the great thing about consumers is it's completely unpredictable and the best products emerge out of nowhere. Otherwise, they would have been built already. So I'm excited to see what happens in consumer voice in the next year.

  5. That ostensibly would help you help yourself entertain yourself, but you would have to invest a lot of time to get the value from them. With products like Deep Research, for example, that could replace 10 hours of generating a market report by yourself. And so that kind of thing is easily worth. For many people, $200 a month, even on one.
