9. Good, can't stand Ellison. And, as an additional thought, what exactly does AI do for an application? As a long-time

systems developer in IT, Specs are laid out by clients, costs are tabulated, and work is eventually scheduled, if determined to be feasible. I think that the backlog of AI-feasible projects is so new, so in need of being developed, created, fleshed out, that I, IMHO, don't think that no one really knows 100% what AI can bring to the table, perhaps a very few things, but lots of tasks? I am doubtful many are out there. I suspect that the infrastructure for AI development is yet to be put in place. The development of the AI code to be designed as well as the engineered machine components (if required) remain to be developed. So many tasks, similar to writing computer code.

Will be interesting to watch. Kind of like watching the Internet be born on a larger basis in the early 1980s (minor platforms by the RBOCs, AT&T), which then after the breakup, developed into many different channels/outlets.
