I met an AI

That's right folks, a couple days ago I met an AI (and I think you all know how much I fucken hate AI).

I should probably and an 'F' in there though and make it AFI - I met an absolute fucken idiot.

I don't want to go into details here because it's none of your business but, suffice it to say, the person I'm talking about was well-qualified to wear the label "AFI" for many reasons.

I really want to tell you about the situation, it's sort of comical, although reasonably tragic at the same time - it's not something I want to put on the blockchain though.

Thinking back on it later, evaluating the situation to determine if my initial assessment was valid, confirmed that it actually was - my AFI radar, was fully functional and accurate. But I was thinking something else as well.

Just because I thought the individual was an absolute fucken idiot it doesn't mean that anyone else does, or would. So, was the person actually an absolute fucken idiot generally and all the time or was that simply my impression based on snippets of contact.

Could it be that I was wrong? Could it be that my AFI radar was malfunctioning? Was I overly judgmental based on only a limited amount of information? All possible of course, but then I decided that if I felt that the person was an absolute fucking idiot then that was good enough - my opinion, based on my experience, is enough from which to draw my own conclusions. This, of course, doesn't mean my opinion cannot change, I think there needs to be room for that, and in the past I've changed my initial opinions from time to time. It also doesn't mean that anyone else would think the same although I suspect many do about this particular person.

Have you ever met someone you felt was an AFI? (Absolute fucken idiots are everywhere after all.)

Absolute fucken idiots are widespread and it's feasible to think you're close by one or more of them daily, and even right now in fact - look around, do you see any? Maybe it's you! Ok, probably not, it's unlikely you'd think you, yourself, were an absolute fucken idiot I presume.

Have you made the AFI assessment then decided to change your mind? Did the person prove otherwise in some way to cause your change of mind, or did they actually confirm it with you?

If you want to tell me about it then go ahead in the comments below.
