artificial intelligence system. Oh wow. Yeah. Okay. I'm talking about questions that have never seen the light of day on the internet. Like they're locked away in the minds and, I don't know, private hard drives of the world's leading physicists. Right. So zero chance of the AI just googling it. Exactly. So the AI takes this test and it doesn't just pass.
