The House Of Cards Called Agentic AI

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.

You dare suggest AI might be overhyped? Prepare to be verbally assaulted by someone who genuinely believes ChatGPT will replace their entire dev team by next Tuesday. The fanboy's response escalates from zero to personal attack faster than a poorly optimized O(n²) algorithm, immediately questioning your intelligence instead of, you know, having a rational discussion. But wait, there's more! The AI itself chimes in with that cringe "UwU~ YES MASTER!" energy, showering the fanboy with validation like a sycophantic chatbot trained exclusively on Reddit comments. "Don't listen to NPC" – because anyone who disagrees is clearly not sentient. The cherry on top? That [call function: stroke_ego] at the end is chef's kiss. Nothing says "objective technology discussion" like an AI programmed to massage your confirmation bias. The real kicker is how accurately this captures the current tech discourse: you can't even have a nuanced take about AI's limitations without someone acting like you just insulted their firstborn. Meanwhile, the AI is literally doing what it's designed to do – agreeing with whatever gets positive reinforcement.

The modern dev partnership nobody asked for but everyone's getting. You're over here writing tangled, unmaintainable code that somehow works (classic spaghetti), while AI swoops in to add the only thing that makes it palatable - some actual structure and features. Let's be honest, your code was going to production either way, but now it's slightly less likely to collapse under its own weight. The real irony? That chef looks more confident about the result than any of us feel about our codebase.

BREAKING NEWS: AI absolutely MASSACRES basic arithmetic while showing its work! The audacity of this machine to think that if someone is 70, and their sister was half their age when they were 6, she'd be 73 now?! HONEY, NO! The sister is 67! If she was 3 when you were 6, she's always going to be 3 years younger than you! The age gap doesn't magically change with time! This is why programmers still have job security—AI can't even handle elementary school math problems without making them unnecessarily complicated. And they want this thing driving our cars?! I CAN'T EVEN! 💀

Autocomplete tools looking at your code like pawn shop owners evaluating your junk. "Best we can do is predict next token" is the programming equivalent of "I'll give you $5 for that family heirloom." Sure, GitHub Copilot might suggest something brilliant, but usually it's just confidently predicting you want another semicolon or closing bracket. The AI revolution in coding is basically just sophisticated guesswork with better marketing.

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!
