The Great AI Code Switcheroo

Putting on glasses to see the difference between "AI Engineer" and "OpenAI-API-to-product-connector" is the most savage reality check of 2023. You're not architecting neural networks—you're just paying $0.002 per token to have ChatGPT write your code while you add water to your ramen. The modern equivalent of "I know HTML" in 1999 is "I'm an AI Engineer" in 2023. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

The formula at the bottom is the activation function for a neural network node. This poor soul clearly invested his life savings into an AI startup that promised to "revolutionize the industry" with their groundbreaking algorithm. Spoiler alert: it was just logistic regression with extra steps. Now he's smiling through the pain while his LinkedIn says "Open to work" and his GitHub is suddenly very active.

Ah, the classic bell curve of AI anxiety. The folks at the low end of the IQ spectrum are blissfully confident they can't be replaced because they don't understand what's coming. The geniuses at the high end know they're safe because they're the ones building the AI overlords. Meanwhile, the rest of us in the middle—just smart enough to understand the threat but not brilliant enough to be irreplaceable—are sweating bullets. This is basically the tech industry's version of "ignorance is bliss" meets "knowledge is power," with the vast majority of us stuck in purgatory. Twenty years in this field and I'm still not sure if I should be learning to code better or learning to make coffee for the robots.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these AI startups strangling the life out of decent customer support! 😱 Every website that once had actual humans helping you now has these pathetic chatbots that understand your problem about as well as a goldfish understands calculus. "Have you tried refreshing the page?" NO JANET, MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND YOUR SUGGESTION IS TO REFRESH?! And that "Now Kith" at the bottom? *chef's kiss* Perfect representation of tech bros forcing this unholy marriage between websites and chatbots that nobody asked for. The digital equivalent of watching someone suffocate a perfectly good pizza with pineapple. MAKE IT STOP!

Remember when "prompt engineering" was supposed to be the hottest career of 2023? Yeah, about that... Turns out asking ChatGPT nicely had the same shelf life as Shopify dropshipping and NFT trading. Death came for those grifts real quick, and now he's knocking on the door of everyone who put "Prompt Engineer" in their LinkedIn title. The brutal truth? Once AI models got better at understanding what humans actually want (shocking, I know), the whole "you need a specialist to talk to the robot" thing became about as valuable as a blockchain certificate. Next up on Death's hit list: whatever the next tech hype cycle convinces people is a legitimate career path.

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.
