With all the spyware there is on a company’s laptop nowadays I wouldn’t even dare to think about querying such questions in an internal-only version of the AI.
Screw a test group, a test department, called QA, people who are paid to understand the system and how it works enough to evaluate if it's fully working or not and empowered to stop ship when it's catastrophically not working.
