So Claude AI supposedly reverse-engineered and rewrote a 20-year-old HP LaserJet printer driver to make it compatible with macOS on Apple Silicon. Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny.
The beautiful irony here is that printer drivers are notoriously the most cursed, undocumented, proprietary pieces of software known to humanity. They're written in ancient C with zero comments, probably by engineers who've since retired to a remote island. The idea that an LLM could just casually rewrite one—dealing with CUPS integration, kernel extensions, and whatever eldritch horrors HP buried in their driver code—is pure fantasy.
But hey, it got 39K likes because everyone wants to believe AI is magic. In reality, Dad probably just installed the generic PostScript driver and it worked fine, or he's still using his old Intel Mac. The printer driver rewrite story? Filed under "Things That Definitely Happened" right next to "I fixed the bug on the first try" and "The client loved my initial design."
