The Tables Have Turned

Oh, the DELICIOUS irony! Remember when we were all like "please stop shoving AI into everything, I just want a toaster that toasts bread"? Yeah, well, plot twist of the century right here. Now companies are basically holding us at gunpoint demanding we use AI to rebuild their entire legacy codebase from 2003, and suddenly we're the ones force-feeding AI into every single feature request like it's the cure for technical debt. The reversal is STUNNING. Back then, greedy companies were desperately trying to slap "AI-powered" on their napkin holders to attract VC money. We resisted! We fought back! We said NO to unnecessary machine learning in our calculator apps! But NOW? Now we're the ones frantically prompting ChatGPT at our desks, begging it to generate boilerplate code while management breathes down our necks asking why we haven't "leveraged AI synergies" yet. The cat has officially become the one doing the poking, and honestly? We're all just trying to survive in this AI-saturated hellscape we once mocked.
