PERTH — Fictional opposition figures have called for a full inquiry into how an AI map rearranged Perth and Kinross, while the map has reportedly called for an inquiry into why anyone trusted it with towns.

“We need accountability,” said a fictional spokesperson. “Also a legend. And north. Preferably pointing up.”

The council has already apologised for the graphic. The Perthetic Politics Desk recommends paper maps, pencils, and not asking a chatbot where Methven is.
