Can We Start Calling AI By Its Real Name

SWEETIE, GitHub Copilot promised you'd code 55% faster, but FAILED to mention you'd be creating bugs at HIGHWAY SPEEDS! 💀 The coding police have arrived, and honey, your bug count is so high it's breaking traffic laws! Sure, you're typing like a caffeinated cheetah, but your code quality is giving "crash test dummy" vibes. That's not productivity—that's a CRIME SCENE waiting for a git commit!

The meme shows the progression of job recursion getting increasingly disturbing. Recruiters hiring recruiters? Normal. Cooks cooking cooks? Slightly concerning. But programmers programming programmers? That's just AI development with extra steps. We're literally coding ourselves out of jobs while smiling maniacally about it. Skynet doesn't need Terminators when it has LinkedIn.

Oh, the eternal job security of dealing with clients who say they want a "simple website" but actually mean "Facebook but better" with a budget of $200. The AI apocalypse might be coming for some jobs, but programmers can sleep soundly knowing that no robot will ever decipher "make it pop" or "I'll know what I want when I see it." Our superpower isn't coding—it's somehow building functional software from requirements that change faster than JavaScript frameworks.

The ultimate tech resume flex: listing every framework, library, and tool you've ever glanced at for 0.5 seconds. That massive word salad of technologies—from Python to TensorFlow to "purrr"—is peak developer peacocking. The punchline is genius though. Asking recruiters to identify which ones are Pokémon is the perfect trap since several of these actually sound like Pokémon names (looking at you, "sparklyR" and "vulpix"—and yes, Vulpix is actually a fire-type Pokémon). It's the perfect litmus test for technical recruiters who claim to understand what you do but can't tell a data visualization library from something that shoots thunderbolts.

That first hit of AI-generated code feels like pure magic. "Look at all this productivity!" Then reality sets in. What AI gives you in quantity, you pay back with interest in quality control. Sure, it wrote 10,000 lines in minutes, but now you're the poor soul who has to untangle that algorithmic spaghetti, patch the security holes big enough to drive a truck through, and explain to management why the project timeline just went from "done" to "we're just getting started." The hidden tax of instant code is always paid in developer tears.

The ultimate self-snitch! Kid tries to use ChatGPT for a Shakespeare essay, but forgets to remove the "I'm an AI language model" disclaimer. Meanwhile, teachers are panicking about AI cheating while students are literally submitting papers that start with "As an AI language model..." 🤦‍♂️ It's like showing up to rob a bank while wearing a name tag and your work uniform. The real education here isn't Shakespeare—it's learning to at least delete the first paragraph of your AI-generated homework!
