There Is No Come Back From That Point

Ah, the sophisticated approach of Microsoft solving complex tech problems: just hit it with a sledgehammer and call it "AI integration." Left side shows delicate digital infrastructure; right side shows Microsoft's solution of brute force. Why debug legacy code when you can just demolish it and slap "AI-powered" on the rubble? The perfect metaphor for when your CEO discovers ChatGPT and suddenly every product roadmap needs "AI transformation." Subtlety? Never heard of her.

When you spent years mastering tree inversions in C++ with all those pointer gymnastics, memory leaks, and segmentation faults only to watch some kid ask ChatGPT to do it in 5 seconds. The audacity. The betrayal. Back in my day, we debugged with print statements and cried silently into our mechanical keyboards.

When you ask an AI for help, it's like ordering water at a fancy restaurant where the waiter has a severe case of malicious compliance. You want a simple glass of water? Here's watermelon, watercress salad, and water garlic bread! No, you say? Fine, here's MULTIPLE waters! Still not right? How about ONE water... literally labeled "ONE WATER." And just when you think it can't get worse, you ask for the bill and suddenly you're getting scuba gear and a globe. The AI heard "bill" and thought "diving bill" and "global bill." Meanwhile, your wallet is having a panic attack because apparently misunderstanding simple requests costs $70. This is exactly why Stack Overflow exists—at least humans tell you you're stupid in a straightforward way.

Breaking news: Water is wet! That groundbreaking research revealing 84% of software developers use AI for... *checks notes*... software development. Next up: shocking study finds that 99% of chefs use kitchens to cook food. The circular logic is so perfect you could use it as a replacement for π in your calculations. This is the kind of "insight" that justifies someone's entire market research budget while telling us absolutely nothing we didn't already know.

BEHOLD! The modern developer's solution to EVERYTHING! 🙄 Left side: brain literally melting from self-doubt and actual work. Right side: UNHINGED MANIAC screaming "USE AI" at every single problem like it's some magical unicorn dust! Can't debug? USE AI! Need tests? USE AI! Production server on fire? OBVIOUSLY USE AI! The absolute state of programming in 2023 where actual skill has been replaced by frantically pasting errors into ChatGPT and praying it doesn't hallucinate a solution that burns your entire codebase to the ground. Next week's update: "How to blame AI when everything inevitably crashes!"

Modern gaming is just a purple cat getting mugged from all directions. Day-one patches because who needs finished products? Lootboxes to empty your wallet through randomized "surprise mechanics." Crypto scams promising you'll totally own that JPEG of a monkey. And let's not forget the AI slop—half-baked "features" created by algorithms that somehow make games worse. Meanwhile, game studios keep recycling franchises and flipping assets while charging full price. The real game is seeing how much abuse players will tolerate before they stop throwing money at microtransactions. But hey, at least we get that dopamine hit of nostalgia bait when they remake that game you loved as a kid... for the third time.
