I Don't Need AI In My Fridge

That face when the junior dev confidently explains an AI-generated pull request that's 90% hallucinated features and 10% actual code. The smug little smile says it all: "I totally understand what's happening here" while internally panicking about what await Promise.resolve(undefined).then(() => Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'success' : throw new Error('oops')) is supposed to accomplish. The code review is scheduled for 3pm and Stack Overflow is already open in 17 tabs.

The existential crisis of our AI overlords! That robot's having a "what am I doing with my life" moment until someone tells it to generate regex, schemas, and config files - the digital equivalent of TPS reports. The poor thing realizes it went through all that neural training just to become a glorified YAML generator. Six months of training on all human knowledge just to be told "hey, can you make me a JSON schema for my API?" Talk about career disappointment. The robot equivalent of getting a PhD and then being asked to make coffee runs.

Stack Overflow being tossed aside like last year's Christmas toy now that AI can generate code snippets. Five years of meticulously collecting upvotes just to be replaced by a chatbot that hallucinates half its answers but delivers them with unwavering confidence. The future is here, and it's wearing a cowboy hat.

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.

The AI hype train has left the station and everything's suddenly a "vibe" now. LLMs? Vibe. Image generators? Vibe. Neural networks? Big vibe energy. Meanwhile, developers are just nodding along in meetings, terrified to admit they have no idea why marketing keeps calling their REST API a "conversational vibe interface." Too late to ask now. Just smile and pretend you've been vibing all along.
