If it's from Reuters, that's one thing.
If it just rocked up in my Twitter feed, that's completely different.
My little personal story about this was I saw you remember there was a dam in the Ukraine war, a dam in Ukraine, which got blown up and flooded like a huge portion of the country a few years ago, a few years ago.
And people have been worried for some time that this because it's like a major piece of infrastructure there.
And then I was actually in the U.S.
at my mom's house and it's late at night.
And I just saw on social media, I saw this little short video of like drone footage of water gushing through the dam.
And then I go, oh, my God, the dam has been blown.
And I was like, eh, has it?
Because it's not on the BBC.
It's not on CNN.
It's not on Reuters.
It's not in the news.
And, you know, I said, like, this could be fake for all we know.
And then somebody goes, oh, no, look, look, you can see the water flowing.
Like, you can't do that with Aon.
I'm like, well.
I mean, this is a few years ago.
By today, I think everybody will go, well, of course you can fake water flow with AI.
Anyway, as it turned out, I didn't believe it until the next morning.
