Hulk Smash... Or Just Cry Over Broken AI

Ah yes, another AI researcher predicting our imminent extinction. Because that's exactly what happened when calculators replaced mathematicians and spell-check eliminated writers. The best part is the comparison to compiler output. Sure, because blindly trusting AI-generated code without review is exactly like trusting battle-tested compilers with decades of development behind them. Completely equivalent! Don't worry though - by 2026 we'll all be unemployed, but at least we'll have plenty of time to fix the bugs in the AI-generated systems that control our power grids and banking systems. Progress!

HONEY, THE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME IS REAL! That's a black lab swimming with ducks who have NO IDEA they've been infiltrated by a completely different species! Just like when you've been copy-pasting ChatGPT code for a week straight and somehow convinced the entire engineering team you're a coding genius! The whole dev team is like "Great job on that algorithm!" while you're frantically Googling what a for-loop is. Swimming in a sea of competent developers while your brain is screaming "QUACK QUACK I'M TOTALLY A PROGRAMMER" is the most relatable thing ever. We're all just dogs in a duck pond pretending we know what we're doing!

First half: "AI will destroy all programming jobs! Web dev is dead! DSA and MERN are obsolete! Only learn ML and chase trends! Stop coding!" Plot twist: "The more people panic and abandon ship, the more job security for those of us who know better." Classic fearmongering followed by the actual 4D chess move. Nothing creates better job security than convincing your competition to quit. The tech industry's version of "This beach is totally haunted, you should leave... alone... with all your picnic supplies."

First panel: Clippy's annoying cousin "Google Meet Assistant" pops up with those dead, soulless eyes asking if you need help analyzing your meeting for the 47th time. Second panel: You frantically close it, thinking you've finally escaped. Third panel: But wait! The AI assistants are multiplying like gremlins fed after midnight. They're everywhere now, asking if you want to "summarize this," "analyze that," or "improve your productivity" while you just want to end the damn call and go make coffee. The digital equivalent of someone asking "how's it going?" when you have headphones on and are clearly trying to avoid human interaction.

Just build your own trillion-parameter AI model with a small indie team of 3 developers over the weekend! It's basically like making a to-do app but with more math. The creator's "What do you mean" response is the digital equivalent of watching someone suggest building a rocket to Mars using duct tape and a leaf blower. Turns out, recreating cutting-edge AI systems requires slightly more than Stack Overflow and energy drinks.

Whether your spaghetti code was crafted by human hands or generated by the latest AI model, it all leads to the same destination: Terrible Code Highway . The cow staring at both paths represents that poor junior dev who has to maintain the codebase, blissfully unaware that no matter which path they choose, they'll still be debugging someone else's mess until 2AM. The real engineering skill is pretending you have a choice in the matter.
