The AI Existential Crisis

Just what we needed - startups promising to swap our heads like Lego pieces, but can't deliver until "within a decade." Classic tech vaporware with a side of body horror! They'll probably ship the beta with known bugs like "occasional neck disconnection" and "consciousness randomly migrates to the cloud." Meanwhile, their pitch deck shows a 500% growth projection based entirely on VC partners who want spare bodies for when they burn out their current ones. The finest example of "we were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn't stop to think if we should" since cryptocurrency-powered toasters.

The eternal battle between humans and AI summed up in one glorious exchange. While ChatGPT smugly cranks out flawless code in milliseconds without a single itch, the human developer proudly announces their victory in the most primal way possible. The true competitive advantage of humanity? Multitasking capabilities that Silicon Valley hasn't figured out how to replicate yet. Take that, machine learning!

The dystopian nightmare has arrived! Behold the new job title of our generation: "Prompt Engineer" – that poor soul desperately begging an AI to spit out valid JSON without hallucinating random garbage. Look at those tears! That's the face of someone who spent 6 years getting a Computer Science degree only to end up writing "bro please" and "I'm begging you" in their prompts. Their entire career now hinges on whether ChatGPT wakes up feeling cooperative or chaotic that day. We've gone from writing code to writing prayers to the AI gods! The ultimate career downgrade – from software developer to AI therapist/beggar.

Regular folks: *clicks video* "Neat!" Developers: *narrows eyes* "I refuse to corrupt my recommendation algorithm with this trash. Time to deploy incognito mode, the digital equivalent of wearing a disguise to buy embarrassing products." The paranoia is real. We've all done the "copy link, open incognito" dance just to watch ONE cat video without YouTube thinking we want to rebuild our entire personality around felines. It's not paranoia if the algorithms really are out to get you.

The circle of life in tech! Designers freaking out when devs use AI to make pretty UIs, while developers glare suspiciously when designers start generating code. It's the digital equivalent of "stay in your lane, bro." After 15 years in the industry, I've seen territorial battles over who gets to use which tools, but this AI turf war is next level. Soon we'll all just be prompt engineers yelling at each other about who wrote the better instruction set.

Looks like GitHub Copilot just went full 1950s mode! Two functions side by side: one for men that returns the salary unchanged, and another for women that returns 90% of the input. Copilot didn't just write code—it accidentally coded up the gender pay gap! This is what happens when your AI learns from historical data without an ethics class. The machine isn't biased... it just perfectly mirrors our messed-up world. Maybe the next update should include a "modern society" plugin.
