Is "AI" A Buzzword?

Oh, the beautiful irony! Training AI to spew corporate buzzwords and then mistaking that for consciousness is like thinking your parrot understands quantum physics because it can squawk "synergy" and "circle back." Turns out the Turing test is just asking, "Can you use the phrase 'let's take this offline' without actually solving anything?" If meaningless jargon is the benchmark for intelligence, we've been working with artificial intelligence in management for decades!

The classic "it works on my machine" problem just got upgraded to "it works in my demo"! Nothing says "cutting-edge AI" like a good old time.sleep(6) to simulate processing. The presenter's accidental Ctrl+C revealed the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain - that magical AI was just Python taking a 6-second nap! This is the tech equivalent of finding out the "live" concert was actually lip-synced. Next time they'll probably add print("AI THINKING VERY HARD") for extra realism.

The ultimate startup pivot: change one word and suddenly you're worth 10x more to VCs. Remember when we just admitted things were loading? Now our apps are having existential crises while fetching your cat photos. Next week: "contemplating the nature of existence..." while the database query times out. Venture capital flowing in 3...2...1...

The modern developer's workflow: copy some hallucinated code from ChatGPT, try to compile it, discover it's complete fiction, then assault the nearest chicken. Tale as old as time (or at least since 2022). What's worse than spending hours debugging non-existent methods? The realization that you trusted an AI that confidently made up syntax while nodding like it knew what it was doing.

Oh, the GLORY of AI-powered coding tools! Two developers armed with ChatGPT and Copilot can now speedrun creating the kind of spaghetti code nightmare that would normally require an entire battalion of engineers working overtime. It's like giving a toddler a flamethrower and calling it "efficiency gains." Sure, you're shipping features at the speed of light, but you're also accumulating technical debt faster than a college student with a new credit card. The future maintenance team is gonna need therapy AND a raise.

Corporate: "Can you spot the difference between a gold bar and a high-end GPU?" Developers in 2024: "They're the same picture." With GPUs costing as much as precious metals these days, training that fancy ML model might require a second mortgage. Remember when we just worried about RAM prices? Those were simpler times.
