Reality Is Often Disappointing

The evolutionary tale of a data scientist! First, we see Statistics (elephant) and Computer Science (snake) as separate entities. Then they decide to collaborate—because obviously, elephants and snakes make natural coding partners. The snake begs for statistical knowledge, and suddenly—BOOM—they transform into a dinosaur labeled "DATA SCIENTIST." It's the perfect representation of how merging statistics with programming creates this mythical creature that everyone wants to hire but nobody can quite define. The irony? Real data scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning data, not evolving into majestic dinosaurs. Should've shown the final form as a janitor with a SQL mop.

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...

Ah, the rare medical condition known as "Machine Learning Engineer Syndrome." The brain scan shows a human surviving with 90% of their brain replaced by AI, which explains why they can function normally despite writing 200 lines of code to print "Hello World" and claiming "the algorithm did it." This is basically every AI engineer who spends 8 hours prompting ChatGPT instead of learning how to code. The remaining 10% of brain matter is reserved exclusively for explaining why their neural network needs more compute time and arguing that "it's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature."

When your senior dev says "just vibed my way through this code" and now you're staring into the abyss of nested if-statements and undocumented functions that somehow work through sheer cosmic luck. The top panel shows the carefree bliss of writing spaghetti code with zero documentation, while the bottom reveals your soul being slowly crushed as you try to understand why there's a random sleep(3000) in the middle of a critical function. Bonus points if the AI-generated code includes comments like "// magic happens here" and "// don't touch this or everything breaks".

Finally, a sorting algorithm with the computational complexity of O($$). Just send your array to GPT, pay a few cents, and get it back sorted. Perfect for when you need your data arranged but can't be bothered to remember how quicksort works. The best part? If your array isn't sorted correctly, you can just claim it's because the AI "didn't understand the vibe" of your integers.
