AI Won't Take Your Job, But AI Engineers Might

Oh, the sweet innocence of "I made a website with ChatGPT" followed by sending a local file path instead of a URL. That's like telling someone you're a chef because you microwaved a Hot Pocket. What we're witnessing here is the beautiful collision of Dunning-Kruger effect and file system confusion. Our friend thinks they've launched the next Facebook when they've really just saved an HTML file to their downloads folder. No server, no hosting, just pure unbridled confidence. The Windows file path is just *chef's kiss* perfect - nothing says "I'm a web developer" like trying to share C:\Users\ben\Downloads\index.html through iMessage.

The eternal battle between sales and engineering continues! Sales execs looking at new projects like they're discovering the One Ring to rule them all – "Let's sprinkle some blockchain and AI on it!" Meanwhile, developers are channeling their inner Aragorn with a firm "NO" that contains the exhaustion of a thousand pointless standups. It's the corporate version of "We have blockchain at home. The blockchain at home: an Excel spreadsheet with a password." The irony? Most projects that "need" blockchain and AI could be solved with a decent database and some if/else statements.

The background is literally screaming "AI AI AI AI" while the foreground shows the letters "AI" in giant orange font. It's like when your product manager asks "Can we add AI to this?" and your codebase is just a glorified if-statement. The confused expression perfectly captures that moment when someone asks if you're using "real AI" in your project and you're mentally calculating whether your nested conditional statements count as machine learning. Bonus points if you've ever renamed a variable to "ai_something" just to satisfy stakeholders.

Oh honey, you thought you were getting a REAL AI? *dramatic hair flip* The meme shows the BRUTAL reality of those clickbait "Build Your Own AI" tutorials! First panel: Some flashy article promising AI greatness. Second panel: The SHOCKING reveal that the "AI" is literally just three lines of code importing OpenAI and responding "hi" to everything! It's like ordering a gourmet meal and getting a microwaved hot pocket! The audacity! The deception! This is why we have trust issues in tech!

The dystopian nightmare has arrived! Behold the new job title of our generation: "Prompt Engineer" – that poor soul desperately begging an AI to spit out valid JSON without hallucinating random garbage. Look at those tears! That's the face of someone who spent 6 years getting a Computer Science degree only to end up writing "bro please" and "I'm begging you" in their prompts. Their entire career now hinges on whether ChatGPT wakes up feeling cooperative or chaotic that day. We've gone from writing code to writing prayers to the AI gods! The ultimate career downgrade – from software developer to AI therapist/beggar.

Behold the classic AI career trajectory: from explaining neural networks to explaining why you dropped out of your PhD. Nothing says "I've mastered gradient descent" quite like watching your academic aspirations descend into the local minimum of content creation. The real algorithm here is simple: views = (technical knowledge) × (decolletage) / (academic integrity). Meanwhile, my GitHub contributions remain at zero while my student loans continue compounding interest faster than my code compiles.
