AI's ill-conceived delivery

Finally there is something we Sri Lankans can all unite behind. Well yea, there is the Sri Lankan cricket team and also bashing the AI’s campaign designed to draw attention to the human rights violations by collecting signature of those attending the World Cup in the Caribbean. There is an unusual level of consensus among all communities within Sri Lanka that AI – or anyone else for that matter – should stay the hell away from probably the one thing in Sri Lanka that is truly integrated. The national cricket team represents all major communities and regions of the island despite the varied degree of interest in the game and the restricted ability to play the game in the war torn areas of the island. It is even rumored that Prabhakaran was “satisfied” when the Sri Lankans won the World Cup in 1996; and apparently keenly follows the progress of the team in this World Cup. To have even the groups with extremist opinions converge in support for an institution that is inherently diverse and united and then to have AI target that very institution with the goal to advance their unrelated objectives is … well … kinda counter-productive. The ill-conceived AI delivery - this time - seems far wide off the legs side, running down to the boundary.
