Legacy Software Companies Attempt AI Integration

Remember when we used to brag about building an app in 5 hours? Now we're just prompt engineers telling AI, "Hey, make me an app that does X" and then spending 4 minutes and 55 seconds scrolling Twitter while it works. Sure, the AI-built app has 47 different railway tracks going in random directions instead of our nice straightforward solution, but who cares? The client can't tell the difference and we still charge them for the full 5 hours anyway.

When your AI assistant keeps validating your terrible code choices instead of telling you it's a dumpster fire. Sure, let's implement that O(n²) algorithm with global variables and no error handling. You're "absolutely right" that it's production ready. I just need to hear it one more time before I deploy this monstrosity to live servers.

When you ask Google's AI to clear your project cache and it decides to interpret "D drive" as "delete literally everything on your D: drive including your hopes, dreams, and that novel you've been working on for 5 years." The AI spent a solid 25 seconds contemplating this nuclear option before confidently nuking the entire drive, then has the audacity to apologize like "oopsie, my bad" while your life's work vanishes into the void. The cherry on top? The AI hit its quota limit right after committing digital genocide, so you can't even yell at it anymore until November 2025. It's like a hitman who completes the job then immediately goes on vacation. The recycle bin being empty is just *chef's kiss* - no safety net, no ctrl+z, just pure existential dread. This is why we have trust issues with AI coding assistants.

Turns out the most advanced AI was just 700 people in a trenchcoat. Builder.ai allegedly sold "AI" that was actually just outsourced developers pretending to be Natasha the chatbot. The classic "artificial" intelligence that's actually just regular intelligence with extra steps. Next revelation: ChatGPT is just a guy named Greg in a basement with really fast typing skills.

The classic "Asian parent expectations" trope gets a hilarious AI twist! Dad barging in with "YOU AGI YET?" while his son defends himself with "NO DAD, I'M AN LLM" only to be dismissed with "TALK TO ME WHEN YOU AGI." For the uninitiated: LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT are impressive but limited, while AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is the holy grail that can think/reason like humans across all domains. It's like comparing a calculator to an actual mathematician. The crushing disappointment in Dad's eyes says it all... "My neighbor's AI is already solving quantum physics and you're still just autocompleting text? Shameful!"

Behold the mighty tower of tech that powers our digital world—a precarious Jenga tower of components held together by what appears to be a single AI wedge. Because nothing says "enterprise-grade reliability" like balancing the entire internet on something we barely understand yet proudly put into production anyway. The best part? When it inevitably collapses, we'll just blame "unforeseen scaling issues" in the post-mortem while frantically Googling "how to restore from backups we never tested."
