Hey "For A Green Future" fans! I need some help. We had a great interview with Dr. Timothy Mousseau back in 2021. He talked about his research that showed Chernobyl is NOT some animal paradise. Basically, populations move in. Genetic mutations mount and after about 4 generations, they die off. But, because there's no humans and plenty of food, new populations move in and so it appears to be a thriving ecosystem. Anyways, I wanted to reference that interview in a debate I was having with a nukester. Since I didn't remember exactly when it happened, I asked Google AI to find it.
Google AI claimed the interview didn't exist. I told it to specifically search For A Green Future's podcasts and youtube channel. It still said no such interview existed. So I went back in my notes and found the date. April of 2021, the Easter Special show. I told G*I to search April of 2021. It still said no such interview. I went to my youtube channel. There was Dr. Mosseau's name right there in the description just as I remembered it. I copied the link to that episode and went back to G*I and said, "Here's the link to the interview." It still insisted the interview didn't exist and claimed that link led to an unrelated video about how to post on youtube. Finally, I opened the video in another tab, and told G*I that it was wrong, it was misdirecting and I was actually watching the interview.
Finally, Google AI admitted it was wrong, but claimed I had asked for a show hosted by Mosseau, not a show where he was a guest. That was a lie. So, I asked G*I if it was going to continue to misdirect people who asked for that interview. It claimed it would not and thanked me for helping to make Google AI more accurate.
Here's where I need help. I want to test G*I's claim. Please ask Google AI to find the interview with Dr. Timothy Mosseau on "For A Green Future." Tell me what the response is.
Thanks!
