I think immersive audiobooks are going to be the biggest thing ever. And the reason why is because you've already taken the time to write it, and you've taken the time to score it with music and sound effects and everything. So I can see a world where, in the not so distant future, all of a sudden, you give an entire audiobook or immersive audiobook to an AI model and it will create the visuals for the entire story. Because it's already written and it's already scored. So yeah, why can't it animate the entire story from start, start to finish? So the whole I think everything from here with AI is all going to be a game of ip. So I want to be in the VIS business of creating valuable IP that can get reused a thousand different ways.
