So while everyone's having existential crises about AI replacing programmers, here's a friendly reminder that intelligence follows a bell curve. The folks screaming "AI IS SMART" and "AI WILL REPLACE PROGRAMMERS" are sitting at opposite ends of the IQ distribution, both equally convinced they've figured it all out. Meanwhile, the vast majority in the middle are just like "yeah, AI is a tool that's pretty dumb at a lot of things but useful for some stuff." It's the Dunning-Kruger effect in real time: people with minimal understanding think AI is either a god or completely useless, while those who actually work with it daily know it's more like a very confident intern who occasionally hallucinates entire libraries that don't exist. Sure, it can autocomplete your code, but it'll also confidently suggest you divide by zero if you phrase the question wrong. The real galaxy brain take? AI is a productivity multiplier, not a replacement. But nuance doesn't make for good LinkedIn posts, does it?

Machine learning algorithms don't question their training data—they just follow it blindly into the abyss. Classic case of "garbage in, cliff dive out." Next time your recommendation system suggests something utterly ridiculous, remember it's just doing what the cool algorithms were doing. No peer pressure resistance whatsoever in those neural networks!

The modern developer's workflow in a nutshell: Why spend 5 minutes thinking through a problem when you can spend 30 seconds asking ChatGPT and another 2 hours debugging the confidently incorrect code it gave you? The Drake meme perfectly captures how we've collectively decided that critical thinking is now optional. Need to implement a binary search tree? Could think about the logic... or just paste the AI's solution straight into production and hope the stack traces are merciful. Bonus points if you don't even read the AI's response before hitting copy-paste. It's like Russian roulette, but with more memory leaks and undefined behavior.

Nvidia's gone from "graphics card company" to "AI overlord" so fast that gamers are getting dumped like last year's Steam sale impulse buys. Remember when GPUs were for rendering Skyrim mods? Now they're calculating the probability of human extinction while costing more than your first car. The relationship status between gamers and Nvidia has officially changed to "it's complicated" – or rather, "it's computing" the next trillion-parameter model. Your RTX 4090 isn't rendering Cyberpunk anymore; it's rendering humanity obsolete.

Remember when search engines actually searched instead of showing you 47 ads, 12 shopping suggestions, and 3 AI-generated blog posts before your actual results? The irony of "technological improvements" is that they've optimized for everything except what users want. Modern search algorithms have reached peak efficiency—at selling you stuff you didn't ask for. It's like asking your GPS for directions and getting a 2-minute unskippable lecture about nearby restaurants before it tells you to turn right. The "Don't Be Evil" mantra aged about as well as Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows ME.

Turns out both chefs and AI "developers" are just throwing ingredients together and hoping something edible comes out. The difference? Chefs actually know what basil is. Ten years of writing clean, maintainable code just to be replaced by someone who knows how to type "make me a full-stack app with blockchain integration" into a text box. At least the spaghetti I'm eating tastes better than the spaghetti code these AI tools are churning out.
