ChatGPT Remembers Your Empty Promises

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this comic! 😂 First we're having a deep existential chat with an AI about our job security, feeling all smug that "humans do things robots can't" – and then BOOM! The plot twist that DESTROYS our fragile programmer egos! We've gone from respected professionals to literal ZOO EXHIBITS, trapped in "Coder-Town" while future families gawk at us fixing our own syntax errors like we're some kind of primitive species! The ultimate humiliation! And they're throwing CORN at us! CORN!!! As if we're not already dead inside from debugging our own spaghetti code! This is the tech apocalypse we truly deserve. Not with a bang, but with a semicolon in the wrong place. 💀

The great AI career pivot of 2025! While MBAs panic about ChatGPT stealing their PowerPoint jobs, developers are quietly rebranding themselves as "AI Experts" after watching two YouTube tutorials and adding a few API calls to their resume. Nothing says job security like slapping "AI" in front of your job title and charging triple your hourly rate. The best part? The MBA who demanded "AI integration" in your app can't tell the difference between actual machine learning and an if-statement with extra steps.

The corporate world's obsession with AI has reached peak absurdity. Top image: CEO strutting around with sunglasses, basking in the glory of launching "the next revolutionary AI code editor" that probably just autocompletes semicolons. Bottom image: The actual dev team proudly showcasing their groundbreaking innovation—a new theme, one lonely extension, and the same VS Code we've been using since forever. Because why fix what's profitable when you can just slap "AI" on the marketing slides and watch the venture capital roll in?

The eternal struggle of AI prompting in three painful acts: First, some suit tells you to "get better at prompting" like it's your fault the AI hallucinated your database into oblivion. Then the AI nerds start throwing around fancy terms like "prompt engineering" and "context engineering" as if that's supposed to help. Meanwhile, the programmer in the corner is having an existential crisis because after decades of learning programming languages designed to be precise, we're now basically writing wish lists to an AI and hoping it understands our vibes. The irony that we've come full circle to desperately wanting a language that "tells the computer exactly what to do" isn't lost on anyone who's spent hours trying to get ChatGPT to format a simple JSON response correctly.

When AWS says AI is writing 75% of their production code, but then your critical system crashes and "Claude" responds with Elmo surrounded by hellfire. Future of tech, folks! Welcome to 2025 where we've replaced human panic with algorithmic chaos. The best part? The AI doesn't even have the decency to lie and say "we're looking into it" – just enthusiastic agreement while everything burns. Guess this is what happens when your debugging process is just vibing with the void.

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.
