       Look at me! I'm @jplebreton!Apparently Google ai hates leaving nicknames unqualified but doesn't care all that much about getting it right - just like real newspapers! Back when I was more interesting they had about a 50% success rate. Google on the other hand is somewhere around 2% and has outed me through this one query as a couple dozen different people including Andrew Shouldice, Adam Saltsman, increpare, a bunch of UK games journos, and a bunch of names I think it just made up.

       At least this time it isn't sure that I'm Alexander Bruce or Terry Cavenagh, which I've seen in the past, but it did credit me with making VVVVVV.

       Okay, I'll stop now. Sorry for burning down the planet there. I think the most alarming thing is how readily and reliably it makes things up, and the sources it chooses ('cos it's based on a web search apparently). I ran that query well over a hundred times and it correctly named me exactly once.And yeah, okay, I rarely use my other name online so you won't find it in many places. But if you go to wikipedia dot etcetera slash Farbs IT'S IN THE FIRST FUCKEN SENTENCE.
