Artefact

When an American uses this spelling, it refers to an unwanted consequence of an action, especially one long in the past.

The most common usage is in reference to graphical glitches in computer games or animations. A graphical glitch is referred to as an "Artefact" or "Artefacting", especially with the British rather than American spelling. Most specifically, "Artefacting" references images that are being shown, or pixels getting stuck long after they were supposed to be replaced.

The word can also metaphorically refer to an unwanted consequence that lingers far longer than it should.

antifact

A thing which is the opposite of what it is presumed to be. An action which is intended to achieve one result and yet achieves its opposite.
Jack and Babs were puzzled that their daughter, already well past forty, seemed to lack any motivation, ambition or interest. They had always done everything for her, 'helped' her with her homework, pulled strings to get her into school, given her a car for graduation. They'd even bought her a nice apartment and set up an annuity so she wouldn't have to worry, never understanding that their 'caring' was an antifact, which, instead of enabling her, was crippling her.
