Is "AI" A Buzzword?

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.

Copilot: "I executed the Python code" but forgot the actual code part! Classic AI assistant move - all results, zero implementation. That's like a chef saying "I cooked the meal, here's your empty plate!" The timestamp is there, but where's the datetime.now().strftime() magic that made it happen? Developers staring at this response are left to figure out the datetime formatting incantations themselves. The irony of an AI coding assistant that skips the most important part - the code!

Ah, the evolution of debugging assistance. In 2019, you'd explain your problem to a rubber duck (a legitimate debugging technique where explaining your code aloud helps you spot the error). The duck just sits there, judging you silently while you ramble about line 43. Fast forward to 2025: Now you just bark "FIX THE ERROR" at ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever AI overlord is running your IDE. No need to understand the problem anymore - just demand a solution and watch as the machines do what took us mere mortals hours of Stack Overflow scrolling. The real error was thinking we'd still be doing our own debugging.

Ah yes, the mythical creature known as "The Senior Who Codes Without ChatGPT" – a tale passed down through generations of developers around the campfire. The juniors sit there in absolute awe, mouths agape, as if hearing about a programmer who remembers how to center a div without Stack Overflow or can write a recursive function without asking an AI to debug it. It's basically the programming equivalent of "back in my day, we walked uphill both ways in the snow" except it's "back in 2021, we actually had to understand our own code."

Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.

The so-called "advanced AI" for processing insurance claims? Just a Python script that flips a coin! The code imports the random module and uses random.choice() to pick between "deny" and "approve" with equal probability. Next time your claim gets rejected, remember it wasn't because of your pre-existing condition—it was because RNGesus wasn't in your favor today. Sophisticated machine learning my foot! It's literally the computational equivalent of "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" but with fewer steps.
