Were the quiz questions generated by a human or AI?

In particular, one of the first questions is "What is the fundamental difference between the kernel and a process?" It rejects "The kernel is a special process with elevated privileges" (which is essentially correct) and prefers "The kernel is not a process—it's the system itself that serves processes," which is sort of wrong? The kernel represents itself as a process (process zero), because kernel threads also need scheduling. And it is privileged, obviously.

The very first sentence of the guide is "It's not X—it's Y. It does Z". Safe to assume the entire thing is AI generated.
