I Don't Need AI In My Fridge

Someone discovered "vibe coding" with AI and thinks they're a developer now. Next week they'll discover what debugging AI-generated code is like when their app crashes in production and the error message is just "vibes were off." The honeymoon phase of AI coding always ends when you realize the AI confidently wrote 300 lines of beautiful nonsense that imports packages that don't exist.

ChatGPT spent 69 minutes and 42 seconds "thinking" just to tell you "You can't." That's like watching your senior architect stare at the whiteboard for over an hour during a planning meeting, only for them to turn around and say "nope, not possible" without any further explanation. The irony here is beautiful. Someone's trying to install CUDA 12.1 on Ubuntu 24.04, and the AI that supposedly saves you weeks of work just burned over an hour to deliver the most unhelpful two-word response possible. No workarounds, no alternatives, no "but here's what you CAN do" — just pure, unfiltered rejection. You could've googled this, read three Stack Overflow threads, tried two wrong solutions, and still had time left over to make coffee. But sure, let's call it "incredible" and a "solid product." The future of development is waiting 69 minutes for a chatbot to say no.

The honeymoon phase with AI coding assistants is officially over! Senior developers are throwing their hands up after a few weeks of dealing with hallucinated functions, confidently incorrect syntax, and those magical solutions that somehow break everything else in your codebase. It's like watching your junior dev confidently refactor your entire auth system without understanding what OAuth actually does. Back to Stack Overflow and cryptic documentation we go - at least those don't pretend to understand your project architecture!

GitHub Copilot with Grok 4 integration is now searching Twitter for Elon Musk's hot takes before writing your React to-do app. Because nothing says "enterprise-grade software" like basing your code on the midnight tweets of a billionaire. Next feature: Copilot will check your horoscope before deciding on your database schema.

Visual Studio Code from the future is apparently just an AI delivery system now. The "many updates" in the March 2025 release can be summarized as: AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, and... wait for it... AI! Microsoft's subtle approach to feature diversity is truly inspiring. Why bother with performance improvements, bug fixes, or new developer tools when you can just repeat "AI" six times and call it a day? Coming in version 2.0: Your code now writes itself while simultaneously reporting everything you do to Skynet. But hey, at least it autocompletes your semicolons correctly!

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal struggle of every data scientist who's ever been handed a Word document and told to "just extract the data" from it! 💀 The bell curve of intelligence is BRUTALLY accurate here. The average schmucks (34% on each side) are blissfully declaring "Word files can't be read by a machine" while the absolute geniuses at both extremes (0.1%!) know the dark arts of table parsing. Meanwhile, every data engineer is in the corner having a nervous breakdown because Karen from marketing just sent over CRITICAL BUSINESS DATA as a beautifully formatted Word table with merged cells. THE HORROR!
