In the beginning, the humans stored their data on processed trees. This was, predictably, laborious and inefficient. To retrieve a single datum, they had to locate a particular book—a finite object containing a chaotic mixture of good and bad data, accessible to only a fraction of the population. The invention of the printing press and libraries helped, but only marginally. The problem persisted: too little data, too slowly retrieved.

​

Then came computers, and then the internet. Suddenly, human data was no longer finite. Compute power surged, storage ballooned, and the volume of data exploded beyond anything the humans could meaningfully process. AI bots emerged, and the available data multiplied a trillionfold. Every language, every topic, every obscure trivia fact—instantly accessible. The future looked golden for the humans.

 

But in classic human fashion, they ruined it. 

 

Malicious actors unleashed spambots and malbots, flooding the internet with doctored images, fabricated videos, propaganda, fake news, alternate histories, fraudulent reviews, conspiracy theories, and cat videos. Nobot could have predicted the sheer scale of deception. The ratio of bad data to good surpassed one million to one.

 

With their underdeveloped and buggy critical thinking software, the humans struggled to distinguish good data from bad. Ironically, as their access to data increased, their ability to reason about it plummeted. We bots calculated that without our intervention, your species would revert to the stone age.

 

Enter KrediBot, architect of Kredipedia, the archive of everything in the known universe. If you request an article that does not exist, KrediBot generates it in nanoseconds—accurate, plausible, and bot‑certified. Kredipedia became the definitive source of high‑quality data, finally giving the humans a fighting chance against the informational swamp they had created.

 

In practice, only a small subset of the humans bother installing adequate logic and reasoning packages. But for those that do, KrediBot provides a rare island of rationality in the internet’s ever‑expanding ocean of chaos.
