The Imposter Syndrome Exodus

Garbage in, garbage out has never been more relevant. GitHub's Copilot learned from millions of repos, including your spaghetti code with 27 nested if-statements and variables named 'temp1', 'temp2', and 'finalForRealThisTime'. Now AI is suggesting the same atrocities back to you. It's karma in digital form - the technical debt you've been accumulating for years is finally sending you an invoice.

Ah, the Gartner Hype Cycle - tech's emotional rollercoaster! Right now we're all riding that sweet, sweet ChatGPT high at "Peak of Inflated Expectations" where everyone thinks AI will solve everything from debugging your code to fixing your love life. Just wait for that "Trough of Disillusionment" when we realize it still can't figure out why your code works in dev but crashes in production. The real fun begins when some manager inevitably says "Let's use AI to rewrite our entire codebase!" and then blames the junior dev when it hallucinates semicolons in Python.

Ah, sweet summer child with dreams of "enhancing" the Linux kernel with AI. Linus Torvalds is probably already typing a profanity-laden email explaining why your brilliant idea belongs in the same category as "adding blockchain to grep" or "making systemd even bigger." The Linux kernel maintainers have spent decades perfecting schedulers that can run everything from supercomputers to toasters. But sure, slap some AI on it! While you're at it, why not rewrite the whole thing in JavaScript? Those 9 replies are probably ranging from "please read the kernel documentation first" to "who let the intern on the mailing list again?"

Ah yes, the anatomically accurate ChatGPT brain - a couple of smooth pink blobs with absolutely zero wrinkles. Just hover over those non-existent brain areas for more non-existent information. Turns out all those billions of parameters are stored in what appears to be a 3D render someone made during their first Blender tutorial. Neural networks? More like neural balloons.

Microsoft force-feeding Copilot to unwilling developers is the tech equivalent of that weird college hazing ritual nobody asked for. "Here, drink this AI-generated code! It'll make you more productive!" Meanwhile, developers are just trying not to choke on suggestions that are half brilliant, half "let me rewrite your entire codebase using deprecated methods from 2011." The relationship status between devs and AI assistants? It's complicated.

Nothing says "I'm a serious AI startup" like using the universal symbol for "loading" as your logo. The German reply "perfectenschlag" is perfect - it's what Dwight from The Office used to describe "perfect pork anus" but also "perfect day." Just like this logo perfectly represents what most AI startups deliver - an eternal loading screen with nothing behind it. Venture capitalists, please form an orderly queue.
