Have Fun Being On Call

First panel: AI reaching for a beautiful painting on the wall, representing our dreams of intelligent systems creating magnificent art. Second panel: Reality hits with a wall of if(){} statements. That's right folks, behind the curtain of every "AI" product your CEO is hyping up is just a glorified chain of conditional logic some poor dev had to write at 1 AM while questioning their career choices. Seven years of computer science education to write if(user_says_hello) return "Hello there!" but with better variable names.

Three recyclable materials and one digital landfill. The truth hurts, doesn't it? While paper, metal, and glass get the recycling symbol, ChatGPT-generated code gets its own special bin - presumably where code goes to die. Let's be honest, we've all pasted that AI-generated monstrosity into our codebase at 4:58pm on a Friday, only to spend Monday morning wondering why our application suddenly thinks it's a sentient toaster. The recycling bin is too good for it - that code needs hazardous waste disposal.

HONEY, THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE! 💀 The "sophisticated AI" behind health insurance claims is literally just import random and a coin flip between "deny" and "approve"?! I. AM. DECEASED. This is the technological equivalent of discovering your surgeon is actually just two raccoons in a lab coat. The absolute AUDACITY of companies claiming their "advanced algorithms" are anything more than digital dice rolls! Your life-saving medication approval? RANDOM CHANCE, BABY! 🎲

Ah, the classic "sleeping peacefully until cloud costs jolt you awake" nightmare! This cat sleeps through earthquakes, thunderstorms, and even alien attacks, but shoots wide awake in pure terror when remembering there's a forgotten cloud instance still running somewhere, silently draining your bank account at $0.25/hour. Nothing triggers fight-or-flight response in a developer quite like realizing you spun up that "temporary" GPU instance three weeks ago and forgot to shut it down. That sudden 3am realization is scarier than any horror movie!

Sure, AI will replace programmers... right after it figures out what "a button that does something" means. The robot claims it just needs clear requirements and detailed specs, meanwhile product managers are out here giving requirements like they're ordering at a restaurant after three martinis. Good luck getting that neural network to interpret "make it pop" or "you know what I mean, right?"

The perfect metaphor for GitHub Copilot's autocomplete functionality! You start typing some code with a clear intention in mind, and Copilot jumps in with the confidence of someone who absolutely knows what you're going to say... except it's hilariously off-target. Just like when you're about to deliver a profound statement and someone interjects with "sandwiches?" The AI is trying so hard to be helpful but sometimes the suggestions are so wildly disconnected from your actual coding intentions that you can't help but laugh. It's that special relationship where you type "const authenticate = async (user" and Copilot suggests "...PizzaDeliveryOptions) =>"
