AI Really Does Replace Juniors

Someone just discovered AI and decided to use it for... checking if numbers are even. You know, that incredibly complex problem that's stumped humanity for centuries and definitely requires a large language model API call instead of a simple modulo operation. The first few rows show manual answers (No, Even, No, Yes) like a normal human would do it. Then row 8 hits and suddenly it's =GEMINI("Is this number even?",A8) all the way down. Someone's burning through their API quota to solve what could've been =MOD(A8,2)=0 . This is what happens when you have a hammer (AI) and everything looks like a nail. Next week they'll probably be using GPT-4 to add two numbers together. The cloud bills are gonna be *chef's kiss*.

The tech industry's collective amnesia is truly spectacular. First, we survived the video game crash of '83, then the dot-com implosion, followed by crypto's rollercoaster of disappointment. Now we're watching the AI hype train barrel toward the same cliff while techbros insist "but this time it's different because GPT-5 and 6!" It's like watching someone confidently build a sandcastle below the tide line for the fourth time. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme... with a neural network-generated beat drop.

Normal people use ChatGPT like civilized humans having a polite conversation with their AI assistant. Meanwhile, developers at ungodly hours have transformed into some sort of deranged puppet masters, spawning MULTIPLE ChatGPT instances like they're summoning an army of code-generating minions. Why have one AI when you can orchestrate an entire SYMPHONY of artificial intelligence, each one probably working on a different part of the same cursed project that's due tomorrow? It's giving "I've opened 47 Stack Overflow tabs but make it AI." The sheer chaos energy of juggling multiple AI conversations simultaneously while your brain runs on pure caffeine and desperation is truly unmatched. Welcome to modern software development, where we've gone from rubber duck debugging to commanding a legion of robot ducks.

Ah, the evolution of our noble profession! Remember when developers were depicted as muscular gods who could write flawless code without Stack Overflow, build entire games in Assembly, send rockets to the moon, and fix memory leaks by manually adjusting pointers? Fast forward to today's reality: frantically Googling basic CSS centering (still an unsolved mystery of computer science), begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors, getting trapped in Vim like it's some kind of developer hazing ritual, and the classic "fix one bug, spawn three more" hydra effect. The greatest irony? Those "superhuman" developers from the past would probably spend three hours debugging their Assembly code only to realize they forgot a semicolon. We've just outsourced our impostor syndrome to AI assistants.

Ancient Egyptians built massive pyramids with nothing but stone tools and manpower. Meanwhile, modern developers need sixteen JavaScript frameworks, three cloud subscriptions, and a $3000 MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM just to center a div. And they still complain about the Wi-Fi being slow.

That moment when your client says "just sprinkle some AI into our app" like they're asking for extra cheese on a pizza. Meanwhile, you're mentally calculating how many weekends you'll sacrifice to implement a neural network that can barely tell a cat from a toaster. Your fist clenches as they add "shouldn't take more than a day or two, right?" Sure, and I'll also build a quantum computer with paperclips and bubble gum while I'm at it.
