Is this an AI test now?

beardyw•2h ago
Ha, yes it is!

"During 1925, in what was the worrying amnesia of Charles Edward Biffen revealed?"

Perfect answer from Gemini!

beardyw•1h ago
OpenAI null points

"Charles Edward Biffen was a notable British figure, particularly in the realms of politics, education, and military service during the early 20th century. However, there seems to be some confusion or lack of widespread historical records regarding the exact case of amnesia in 1925 associated with him. It is possible that you're referring to a different individual, as Charles Edward Biffen doesn't have a documented history of public amnesia in 1925"

I assume the "The greatest part of knowledge is knowing where to find something" part means it's an open book test?

Are there rules?

beardyw•1h ago
Not as far as I know
