Code theft Memes

The evolution of professional ethics in the digital age is... something else. Designers freak out when AI scrapes their artwork: "NO! THIS IS ILLEGAL!" Meanwhile, programmers hear that ChatGPT pillaged their GitHub repos and their first question is "Did it actually compile though?" Nothing captures the programmer mindset better than skipping past the copyright violation and jumping straight to "but does it work?" Because let's be honest - if ChatGPT can make sense of your spaghetti code, you might as well hire it.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this meme hitting us with the painful truth! 💀 First we've got programmers being called out for our sacred StackOverflow copy-paste rituals, then ChatGPT swoops in with that smug "Can you?" question like it's not ALSO just regurgitating code it learned from humans! And that final panel? That's literally all of us having our existential crisis when we realize AI might actually be coming for our jobs! The circle of theft is complete and we're all just sitting here contemplating our career choices while GitHub Copilot writes our next function. I can't even!

GitHub Copilot silently judging your spaghetti code while simultaneously ingesting it for "training purposes." The awkward bat face is basically Copilot's internal reaction when it sees your proprietary algorithms and realizes they're worth exactly $0.00 on the black market. Turns out your paranoia about AI stealing company secrets was justified, but for all the wrong reasons.
