To Infinity And Buzzwords

When your machine learning course gets too intense, so you take it to the next level—literally. This is what happens when someone takes "deep learning" a bit too literally. While neural networks are diving into layers of abstraction, this person is diving into a pool with their textbook. The irony is palpable—studying underwater won't make your AI algorithms any more fluid, but it might make your textbook unusable. Next up: "reinforcement learning" at the gym and "natural language processing" by shouting at trees.

The gambling addiction of AI coding is real, folks. Just like slot machines, we're all just sitting there with headphones on, hitting "Generate" and praying for that perfect code snippet that probably doesn't exist. We've gone from "I know how to code" to "I know how to prompt" faster than you can say "technical debt." And that last row? Pure gold. In Vegas, the house always wins. In coding with AI, your cursor just blinks there mockingly while you try your 17th prompt variation. The best part is calling yourself a "prompt engineer" with a straight face while secretly knowing you're just gambling with fancier tokens. At least the slot machine is honest about the odds.

Ever opened a PR from an AI and seen comments like // This is a for loop that iterates through the array ? Welcome to the world of AI-generated documentation—where stating the painfully obvious is considered helpful. It's like having that one intern who explains what a keyboard is every time you sit down to code. Next up: ChatGPT will helpfully inform you that your function returns a value and that variables store data. Revolutionary stuff.

Ah, the classic "let's use a sledgehammer to kill a fly" approach. Every tech startup these days thinks they need machine learning to solve problems that could be handled with an if-statement and a cup of coffee. After 15 years in the industry, I've sat through countless pitch meetings where some bright-eyed founder explains how their revolutionary AI will disrupt the sandwich-ordering process. Meanwhile, their actual problem is that they can't figure out how to store user preferences in a database. The real kicker? When they finally implement their neural network to predict topping preferences, it works worse than random chance. But hey, at least they can put "AI-powered" in their pitch deck!

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.
