Reality Is Often Disappointing

When you spend years building an AI model only to have someone ctrl+c, ctrl+v your entire codebase. Welcome to the cutting-edge world of AI, where the most innovative technology is... *checks notes*... copying your competitor's homework and hoping the teacher doesn't notice. Silicon Valley's billion-dollar secret: sometimes the best R&D strategy is just "Download & Rebrand." DeepSeek apparently took "deep learning" to mean "deeply learning OpenAI's proprietary code."

Remember when we used to memorize algorithms and syntax? Yeah, me neither. The meme shows our brains shrinking to pea-size after using ChatGPT for coding. Why bother storing all that knowledge when you can just prompt an AI? "Hey ChatGPT, how do I reverse a binary tree while making coffee?" and boom—instant solution without taxing those precious neurons. Soon we'll just be meat puppets with thumbs for typing prompts while our atrophied brains handle the critical task of deciding when to get more coffee. Progress!

OH. MY. GOD. Someone actually asked ChatGPT to code the gender pay gap into existence! 😱 The absolute AUDACITY to create a function that multiplies a man's salary by 0.77 to get a woman's salary! This is like asking an AI to mathematically formalize inequality while wearing a suit and pretending it's just "realistic programming." The function is so brutally honest it might as well have variable names like "systematic_inequality" and "patriarchy_coefficient." Whoever prompted this probably also asks for functions to calculate how many kitchen appliances equal one sports car. 💀

The second you mention you're learning to code, every relative suddenly transforms into Usain Bolt chasing you down with AI course recommendations. Nothing says "supportive family" like implying your freshly-learned print("Hello World") is already obsolete before you've even figured out how loops work. The programming journey: 10% learning syntax, 90% sprinting away from people telling you that what you're learning is already outdated. Pro tip: develop selective hearing - it's the most valuable skill in your coding toolkit.

Oh honey, you thought you were getting a REAL AI? *dramatic hair flip* The meme shows the BRUTAL reality of those clickbait "Build Your Own AI" tutorials! First panel: Some flashy article promising AI greatness. Second panel: The SHOCKING reveal that the "AI" is literally just three lines of code importing OpenAI and responding "hi" to everything! It's like ordering a gourmet meal and getting a microwaved hot pocket! The audacity! The deception! This is why we have trust issues in tech!

Waterfall development starts with just wheels and slowly builds into a complete car, one piece at a time, in sequential order. Can't back up, can't change direction. Hope you spec'd the right vehicle. Agile takes a different route - start with a skateboard, then scooter, bicycle, quad bike, and finally a car. Each iteration is actually usable, unlike those lone wheels from waterfall. Then there's AI development: throw in Wacky Races' Mean Machine with three normal cars. Because nothing says "cutting edge technology" like randomly generating a monstrosity and hoping it doesn't kill anyone on the highway.
