I Don't Need AI In My Fridge

HONEY, PLEASE! Slapping an "AI" label on basic conditional logic is the tech equivalent of putting a Ferrari badge on your 1998 Toyota Corolla! 💅 The ABSOLUTE DRAMA of Uber claiming they're using "artificial intelligence" when they're literally just checking *if drunk_time == true && location == bar && app_fumbling > 30sec*. I. CAN'T. EVEN. 🙄 The tech industry's relationship with the term "AI" is more toxic than my ex's Instagram stories. Just because you can write an if-statement doesn't mean you've created HAL 9000, DARLING!

The corporate AI fever in a single frame! That dad just burned through millions on generative AI "proof-of-concepts" that will forever remain in the graveyard of tech demos. The son's sarcastic "What a legend" is peak engineering cynicism—he already knows these projects are the software equivalent of buying a treadmill that becomes a clothes hanger. Meanwhile, every ML engineer is nodding furiously because they've watched executives throw cash at half-baked AI ideas with the ROI strategy of "figure it out later." The real production environment was the friends we made along the way!

Ah, the classic bait and switch marketing that's so prevalent in tech. Someone announces "Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!" and immediately gets parodied with "Sugar is now free for diabetics. Enjoy!" It's that special kind of tech industry dark humor where we've all been burned by the "free" label. This is basically every "free tier" announcement ever made. Sure, we'll give you the exact thing that's completely useless or potentially harmful to your specific situation. Like offering unlimited storage to someone with no internet connection. Thanks for nothing! The real kicker is how many likes and reposts these announcements get. We're all just digital hamsters running on the hype wheel at this point.

When your CS professor says "implement a sorting algorithm" but you've got an OpenAI API key and zero shame. This dev just created the world's most expensive sorting function by literally asking GPT-4 to be a sorting algorithm! Sure, it works—but imagine burning through API credits to sort [42, 3, 99, 7, 13] when a simple Array.sort() would do the trick. The true innovation here is maximizing both latency AND cost while solving a problem that was figured out decades ago. Congratulations, you've invented O(API) complexity—where the limiting factor is your credit card limit!

Oh honey, look at these programmers having their little existential crisis over ChatGPT! Meanwhile, mathematicians are standing there like the seasoned gallows veterans they are, rolling their eyes SO HARD they can see their own brain. 💅 Calculators literally DECIMATED mathematical jobs decades ago, and these math wizards just adapted and found more complex problems to solve. But sure, programmers, keep clutching those mechanical keyboards while sobbing into your Stack Overflow bookmarks! First automation rodeo, sweetie?

Left guy's in denial about AI coding tools while right guy's already seen the git blame logs from the future. The eternal cycle continues: new tech emerges, developers panic, then end up maintaining the mess it creates. The only constant in programming is cleaning up after the latest "revolutionary" tool. Just wait until we're all writing prompts to fix the prompts that fixed the code that broke the system.
