- 3:29get
- 3:29their
- 3:30heads
- 3:30around
- 3:30how
- 3:30it
- 3:31can
- 3:31be
- 3:31incorporated
- 3:32into
- 3:32the
- 3:32workflow.
- 3:33And
- 3:33up
- 3:34to
- 3:34now,
- 3:34I
- 3:34think
- 3:35the
- 3:35conversation
- 3:35has
- 3:36been.
- 3:37It
- 3:38started
- 3:38off
- 3:38as
- 3:38more
- 3:39theoretical,
- 3:39where
- 3:39people
- 3:40were
- 3:40trying
- 3:40to
- 3:41wrap
- 3:41their
- 3:41head
- 3:41around
- 3:41what
- 3:42it
- 3:42might
- 3:42mean.
- 3:43And
- 3:43now
- 3:44people
- 3:44have
- 3:45had
- 3:45a
- 3:45chance
- 3:45to
- 3:45really
- 3:46play
- 3:46with
- 3:46those
- 3:47tools,
- 3:47incorporate
- 3:48them
- 3:48into
- 3:48their
- 3:48workflows
- 3:49and
- 3:50decide
- 3:51how
- 3:51they
- 3:51can
- 3:52best
- 3:52utilize
- 3:52it.
- 3:53So
- 3:53I
- 3:53think
- 3:54it's
- 3:54moved
- 3:55on
- 3:55to
- 3:55more
- 3:56of
- 3:56a
- 3:56practical
- 3:57reality
- 3:58this
- 3:58year
- 3:59than
- 4:00previous
- 4:00years,
- 4:00when
- 4:01it's
- 4:01something
- 4:01that
- 4:01everyone
- 4:01knew
- 4:02was
- 4:02coming
- 4:03and
- 4:03they
- 4:03were
- 4:04sort
- 4:04of
- 4:04navigating
- 4:05their
- 4:06positions
- 4:06to
- 4:06kind
- 4:06of
- 4:07really
- 4:07work
- 4:07out
- 4:07what
- 4:07it
- 4:08meant.
- 4:08But
- 4:08now
- 4:08it's
- 4:08here
- 4:09when
- 4:09people
- 4:10are
- 4:10using
- 4:11it

- 4:13seeing
- 4:13how
- 4:13it
- 4:13works
- 4:14in
- 4:14practice.
- 4:15So
- 4:15that's.
- 4:16That's
- 4:16the
- 4:17change
- 4:17that
- 4:17I
- 4:17can
