I guess I'm switching to this. Hopefully you can hear me. I would say they are both useful. They're tools, right? I don't think you say this one wins over the other. It really depends on use cases. For us as well, we have a lot of traditional machine learning with structured data, semi-structured data. We use the more traditional techniques that are offering that AI capability, and that's been going on for the last 10 years at least. The recent adoption of the large language model is first and foremost to analyze the multimodal text that we deal with. In a typical TeamViewer connection, it could be IT, so it's chatty in nature. But when we go into a frontline support case, it becomes all of a sudden multimodal. It could be audio call, video, CAD images. All of these things come, and the large language model is just so much more capable to digest the information in large quantity and also the variety. So right now, there are different use cases focused on either the traditional semi-structured data versus the dialogue and interfaces. I think of it simply as machine learning is a fancy word for pattern recognition and pattern matching. It's like taking all these different data points, looking at them, and then coming up with an answer. True AI is really pattern recognition plus creative thinking, where you add that layer of creative thinking to understand the sentiment behind something and come up with something you hadn't expected would be the answer. For example, if you have an employee, many of us have been in this panel, and employees come and say I want to go this direction in my career. You use your pattern recognition to say based on what you're good at, you should go here. But that's different than if somebody comes to you and says I feel like I could learn analytics because it would take my career to the next level. Or if they use the word, I should learn analytics. Those are two very different things, and you need the creative thinking of somebody who understands the nuance between those different things to come up with a better answer and solution. One is just a fancy word for pattern recognition, and the other is that creative spark that gets added on top of it.
