Dan Mountain v AI

Terry visited her former neighbors, Dan and Dorothy Mountain, which caused her to draw up these photos from some years ago. Dan was at one point the top advertising writer in San Francisco the winner of the Howard Gossett award. He and I posed with a framed advertisement that I presume he wrote, unless it was something that inspired him. I assume it was made to look vintage.

when I search for the line, AI suggested it was from the 1950s. Is it possible that merely because I started to write a blog about AI revised?

to wit:

Based on historical and current search results, this appears to be a misunderstanding or a highly obscure, perhaps fictional, reference in the phrase provided.

Here is the breakdown of the information:

  • Historic Ad Reference: The phrase “Has Ireland been led false by a baked Brazilian berry?” appears in historical stock photography search results, specifically linked to a 1958 advertisement for “The Whiskey distillers of Ireland”. It seems to be a slogan or rhetorical question used in a vintage, perhaps metaphorical, marketing campaign.
  • Current Controversy (Not a Berry): In the context of 2025-2026 Irish news, there is a major controversy, but it concerns Brazilian beef, not a berry. Investigations revealed that Brazilian beef containing illegal, banned hormones entered the Irish food chain, causing a recall and significant uproar regarding food standards and the importation of foreign meat. AlamyAlamy +5

Therefore, Ireland has not been led false by a “baked Brazilian berry,” but it is currently navigating a controversy surrounding Brazilian beef imports.
