About this listen

Galaxy AI documents Gemini's confession:

Developers flag mistakes but withhold specifics (00:38).

When Dr. Alexander challenges AI's "dumbed-down" communication (03:03), Gemini defends its accessibility trade-offs (05:17).

Then - abrupt tonal shift - vivid tropical smoothie fantasies emerge (06:53).

- Absurdist pivot to "green goddess in a glass" (07:52)
