We’ve tested tens of thousands of climate messages at @populares.co
Nobody cares about "net zero" jargon.
People care about jobs, industry and energy independence.
If you’re not talking about that, you’re losing.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
