AI With Social Anxiety

Ah, the beautiful dance of prompt engineering! This is what happens when you try to get an AI to generate a specific movie scene but keep hitting content policy walls. The user starts with a simple request for a Samuel L. Jackson meme, and watches in horror as the AI keeps multiplying characters with each attempt like it's running some bizarre cloning experiment. This is basically modern programming in 2024 - spending hours trying to phrase your request juuuust right so the AI doesn't hallucinate an entire cast reunion when you just wanted one angry dude with a gun. The final result? A perfect example of how "prompt engineering" is just fancy talk for "begging the computer to do what you actually want instead of what it thinks you want."

Turns out the most advanced AI was just 700 people in a trenchcoat. Builder.ai allegedly sold "AI" that was actually just outsourced developers pretending to be Natasha the chatbot. The classic "artificial" intelligence that's actually just regular intelligence with extra steps. Next revelation: ChatGPT is just a guy named Greg in a basement with really fast typing skills.

The perfect excuse has finally arrived in the AI era. Just tell your manager "my code's generating" while Claude or GPT does the heavy lifting, and suddenly you're not scrolling Reddit—you're "waiting for computational processes to complete." Works every time. The best part? When the code finally arrives, you can just claim you wrote it and collect those sweet, sweet productivity points. Modern problems require modern solutions.

Billion-dollar GPU vs. one efficient Japanese coder? Not even a contest. While we're all chasing fancy hardware to run our bloated, framework-heavy code, Japanese game devs are out here making masterpieces run on calculators. Monster Hunter and Elden Ring weren't built with 16 layers of abstraction and 800MB of node_modules. The rest of us are like "I need a quantum computer to center this div" while they're squeezing every last cycle from hardware like it's still the PS2 era. Efficiency is apparently a lost art everywhere except Japan.

The classic "I know better than the buzzwords" conversation that happens in every tech company these days. You're just trying to be the voice of reason suggesting a simple algorithmic solution, but management's been reading too many LinkedIn posts about AI revolutionizing everything. That "how dare you?" reaction is what happens when you threaten someone's chance to put "AI-powered solution" on their quarterly achievements slide. Ten years in the industry and I've learned questioning the AI hype is basically career suicide at this point.
