“I have an AI agent that logs every negative comment someone makes about me online. It then creates a profile of the person, maps all of their social connections, and finds all their emails. Tomorrow morning, my AI agent will send out an email blast to everyone's extended social network, detailing the horrible things they've said about me.”
