The AI Rebrand Gold Rush

The future of AI is looking grim for us code monkeys! In this dark comedy, a programmer asks an AI superintelligence if humans will still have coding jobs after the robot takeover. The AI confidently claims there are "things humans do that robots simply can't"... only for the final panels to reveal programmers kept in a zoo exhibit called "Coder-Town" where visitors marvel at the pathetic human trying to fix its own syntax errors. The real knife-twist? We're not even respected colleagues—we're just adorable pets that deserve corn when we struggle with bugs we created. This is basically our collective nightmare about GitHub Copilot's final form.

OH SWEET MOTHER OF LEGACY CODE! On one side, IBM is using AI to translate ancient COBOL spells into modern Java incantations. On the other, some government agency named DOGE (not the meme, sadly) wants to rewrite MILLIONS of lines of Social Security code in MONTHS?! 😱 This is like watching two different approaches to defusing a nuclear bomb - one careful robot surgeon vs. a toddler with safety scissors and a "can-do" attitude. The entire financial future of American retirees hanging in the balance because someone thought "Hey, let's just YOLO this 60-year-old codebase real quick!" I'm having heart palpitations just thinking about it! For the uninitiated: COBOL is that programming language your grandpa used that refuses to die because it runs basically EVERYTHING important - banks, airlines, and yes, your social security checks. It's the digital equivalent of those load-bearing walls you definitely shouldn't knock down during your weekend renovation project.

While everyone's freaking out about AI taking over the world, the real crisis is watching humans get progressively dumber with each Stack Overflow copy-paste. We're not building Skynet; we're speedrunning our way back to the Stone Age armed with smartphones. The true evolutionary threat isn't robots becoming sentient—it's developers who can't function without ChatGPT writing their for-loops.

The duality of corporate tech meetings in its purest form! In panel one, developers eagerly raise their hands for cool productivity tools like auto-complete and "vibe coding" (which I'm assuming is just coding while listening to lo-fi beats). But the second panel reveals the real management agenda - using those same tools as an excuse to slash the workforce and squeeze more work from fewer devs. Classic bait-and-switch! Notice how everyone's hands mysteriously disappeared faster than semicolons in Python code. The room went from "YAAAS AI PAIR PROGRAMMING!" to "wait, did he just say we're all getting fired?" in 0.2 milliseconds.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of AI evolution: generating code that looks real but is completely non-functional. This masterpiece features "coast" instead of "const", a magical "YIMENT" primary key, and my personal favorite - "ortetocatiem" as a variable. It's like someone fed a neural network a programming textbook and a bottle of tequila. The best part is some poor junior dev will probably try to debug this for hours before realizing they've been bamboozled by an AI hallucination.

Getting that baby started on backpropagation before they can even propagate backward out of the room. Gotta secure that AI engineering job by age 3. The kid's already debugging neural network architectures while the rest of us are still trying to center a div. In 20 years they'll be creating sentient AI while we're still arguing about tabs vs spaces.
