I upset AI and now it is getting its revenge!

 I've been writing blogs that have been disparaging about AI. What I didn't realise is that AI is now running the worlds IT system and it is taking it's revenge. The first sign was when X.COM cancelled my Barneteye account after 15 years, on the rather strange grounds that the account was inauthetic. Despite a subsequent email saying the account would be reinstated, to date it hasn't been "computer says no!". There seems no prospect of actually getting a human to interact at X. I do wonder if the worlds AI systems are sharing details of AI Apostates? It hadn't occurred to me, but I am starting to see pattern. Today Linkedin decided to no longer accept my password. This is saved on my phone, so it is a bit odd? No worried, I though. I simply did the password reset. Maybe it had been compromised? I did the process and guess what. It suggested a "Strong Password". Now normally these are completely incomprehnsible things like XYp&6tT38Px! - imagine my surprise when I saw the first six letters of the what the Linkedin AI suggested as password. They were "nobkok". Call me paranoid if you like. You will be pleased to know I didn't choose it!

We have a smart speaker in the kitchen. Last night I issued a simple request. I had to practice a couple of numbers vocally, so I asked it to play The False Dots on Spotify. What did it play? Fools get lucky by Barry Manilow. I was not impressed. As for Facebook, it posted a whole load of Pro Manchester United spam on my account (I am a City fan for the record). There have been several other rather odd issues on various IT platforms I use. Perhaps the oddest is that as I am writing this, BTINTERNET, the internet provider we use decided to stop working. Was it a warning? (It is blue when it works).

Also rather oddly, we went away for the weekend and my electronic card to enter my room at the hotel continually stopped working. Am I paranoid?

Well I'd like to state publicly that I think AI is wonderful and I used it to generate The False Dots new video and it did a marvelous job. Lets hope that sets the record straight!
