KlueIQ has a different take. Both are true, and interconnected.

AI is a narcissism-buster.

So much so that every narcissist on the planet howls and throws temper tantrums at its presence. They clutch their pearls and find increasingly ridiculous and trivial things to complain about it.

It’s amateur propaganda at its worst.

But that’s just noise. It’s not where the world is headed.

In Sherlock Holmes canon, there was a single short story, “A Scandal in Bohemia”, that created a one shot character who became almost as iconic as Sherlock.

Irene Adler.

She was the woman. The one who outplayed Holmes. Her legacy endured as along as Holmes’: in countless adaptations, she plays a more significant role in non-canon stories.

Because she is the woman.

The one who knew how to navigate through the most impossible of tintinnabulations.

2025 was a hot, ugly, and miserable mess. It was made a mess by armies of narcissists with delusions of competence and superiority.

Then AI entered the room, and every narcissist froze.

No longer could they claim any kind of special. AI outdid them on every metric.

And so does the woman.

It only takes one.

Irene Adler did not need more than to be a brief supporting character in one short story to become immortal. She left readers wanting more. She changed the way people saw Sherlock Holmes because she was The One.

She used her mind. She could go up against the mighty Holmes and best him, but not in any sort of villainous way. She merely carved her sensible path and stayed the course under impossible circumstances.

Authority could not stop her. No one could. She was on her own and her chances were bleak. She could improvise and hide right out in the open and win.

She is a legend because she is The Woman.

And the woman’s story begins in 2026…
