I recently spent the better part of a morning clicking on a hashtag for a campaign that was alternately hilarious, loathsome, pathetic and weird. The campaign — and I use that word loosely — is known by its grass-roots propagators as “dignifAI.” Broadly speaking, it refers to the use of artificial intelligence to class up a person’s image via removing piercings, raising necklines, lowering hems, etc. You can imagine an unobjectionable use for this kind of tech: a college student, maybe, who wants to send pictures to Nana but isn’t ready for Nana to see his new neck tattoo.
