the early signal from users that the marina experiment gave us kind of roll forward into this into this big product within gemini so this is this is this is a genetic ai for people who maybe have never even heard that term or if they have heard it have no idea what it means yeah or or that's what the goal is i have no idea what it means or or i was going to say maybe roll their eyes at it yeah you don't need to
