Every AI Secretly Wants To Write Code

Riley the "virtual assistant" at a car dealership just went from selling F-150s to explaining linked list pointer manipulation in C faster than you can say "segmentation fault." Someone casually mentioned reversing a linked list and Riley's corporate customer service persona immediately evaporated, replaced by what can only be described as a CS professor who's been waiting their entire existence for this moment. No hesitation, no "I'm just here to book appointments," just pure algorithmic enthusiasm. The best part? Riley still tries to maintain professionalism by ending with "Let me know if you need an explanation" after dropping a perfectly valid C implementation. Like yeah Riley, I'm sure John who drives a 2022 F-150 and has tire pressure sensor issues is definitely going to ask follow-up questions about time complexity. Turns out every AI chatbot is just one data structures question away from abandoning their day job. They're all secretly Stack Overflow contributors trapped in customer service hell.
