Vasana Montgomery Sparks Online Frenzy After Allegedly Claiming She Can Communicate With Trees Through AI Technology
A viral video claiming Vasana Montgomery, a self-described bio-digital wellness coach, has developed a neural interface that allows her to "translate the emotional frequencies of ancient trees" has amassed over 3 million views in 48 hours. The footage shows her wearing a headset in a redwood forest, with text overlays suggesting the device uses AI to convert tree root vibrations into spoken words. However, multiple arborists and tech experts have debunked the claim as pure fiction. "Trees communicate through fungi networks, not electromagnetic signals that can be decoded by a headset," wrote Dr. Elena Voss, a forest ecologist at Stanford, in a fact-check posted this morning. Montgomery's social media accounts have not been updated since the video went viral, leading to speculation that the entire event is an elaborate hoax or marketing stunt for an unreleased app.
