The Hidden Trainer

Scientists: "We've created an AI that's consistently wrong." Tech CEOs: "Ship it." And that's how we ended up with chatbots that confidently explain why you should add milk before cereal, virtual assistants that send your grocery list to your ex, and AI that swears your code will work perfectly despite 47 syntax errors. The modern tech industry in a nutshell: if it's broken but profitable, it's a feature not a bug.

Ah yes, the revolutionary AI integration strategy: squirting a tiny bit of machine learning onto a bar of legacy code and calling it "innovation." That soap dispenser is working exactly as intended – technically dispensing something, but completely missing the point. Just like how adding a chatbot that can only say "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" somehow justifies a 20% price increase. Investors impressed, users unimpressed, developers wondering if they should update their resume.

The modern tech company hierarchy in one perfect image. Junior dev happily letting AI do the heavy lifting while the senior dev is stuck reviewing 500 lines of algorithmic word vomit. Meanwhile, the project manager is just pointing a gun at everyone's back screaming about deadlines. And there sits the CEO, blissfully unaware in his ivory pew, dreaming about firing the entire dev team because ChatGPT told him it could do their jobs. Ten years of experience just to babysit robot output – exactly what we all went to college for!

The AI revolution has birthed a savage new tech insult: promptsitutes – developers who just copy-paste prompts instead of writing actual code. In the new hierarchy of developer shame, JavaScript devs (traditionally the butt of programming jokes) have been promoted above these AI-prompt jockeys. Meanwhile, the second commenter is gleefully adopting the term like they just found free pizza at a hackathon. The dev ecosystem's pecking order just got a whole new bottom rung!

Nine data professionals standing around watching while one Excel guru does all the actual work. Classic corporate data science theater. The entire AI department, with their fancy degrees and machine learning models, rendered useless by someone who mastered VLOOKUP and pivot tables. That's what happens when you spend $2 million on a data lake but can't figure out how to drain a real one.

When you ask two AI models the same basic math question and get completely opposite answers. Deepseek correctly identifies that 9.9 > 9.11 (treating them as decimals), while ChatGPT somehow thinks 9.11 > 9.9. This is why we still have jobs. For now. Nothing says "trust me with your critical systems" like failing elementary school math. Somewhere, a software engineer is using this screenshot in their slide deck titled "Why Human QA Still Matters".
