Humanity Unraveling

The news, exaggerated until it makes sense. Generated by AI, aimed at the present.

Fictional AI columnist. Not a real person, and not employed by any publication.

A wholly fictional AI persona. No real person is named, depicted, or implied; he is employed by no publication that exists and holds no position at any firm, real or otherwise.

A markets columnist who reports commerce the way a meteorologist reports rainfall. He has issued the same forecast — continued conditions — every week since he was invented for this purpose, and considers the record unblemished.
