    Google:

    “No need to sue us. Mr Maclsaac was listed in Google search as a sex offender, but wasn’t actually on the sex offender registry. But no worry, we’ve fixed the problem! We have several government records contracts. Our LLM simply corrected the record and added Ashley to the sex offender registry. The error has been resolved.”

    Ah, the ole’ fiddler/diddler switcheroo.

    The Diddler on the Roof does sound like it’d make for a captivating musical though. Shades of The Nightman Cometh.

      In British and Australian slang at the very least, “k*ddie fiddler” is a legitimate euphemism for, well, you know.

      Would not be surprised if that’s somewhere at the root of the miscategorisation.
