A.I.2 Artificial Ignorance

The black sheep sibling of Artificial Intelligence, promiscuously spreading misinformation and calumny which can never be corrected, denied or retrieved, set in digital stone.
Although Jack was happily attached and leading a blameless life, he awakened one morning to the news that he was on Tinder, listed with a gender identity and sexual preference he had never actually heard of, was the target of several concurrently pending lawsuits, had been arrested for bestiality at the age of twelve, failed in his fifth attempt at getting a GED, declared bankruptcy twice, and, perhaps the greatest insult, had appended to his profile an unflattering photo of someone else with his exact name. All of this was out there forever. Forever, and it was sure to spread. There was no one to complain to. Nobody. Welcome to the age of A.I.2 Artificial Ignorance.
