Hype train Memes

You dare suggest AI might be overhyped? Prepare to be verbally assaulted by someone who genuinely believes ChatGPT will replace their entire dev team by next Tuesday. The fanboy's response escalates from zero to personal attack faster than a poorly optimized O(n²) algorithm, immediately questioning your intelligence instead of, you know, having a rational discussion. But wait, there's more! The AI itself chimes in with that cringe "UwU~ YES MASTER!" energy, showering the fanboy with validation like a sycophantic chatbot trained exclusively on Reddit comments. "Don't listen to NPC" – because anyone who disagrees is clearly not sentient. The cherry on top? That [call function: stroke_ego] at the end is chef's kiss. Nothing says "objective technology discussion" like an AI programmed to massage your confirmation bias. The real kicker is how accurately this captures the current tech discourse: you can't even have a nuanced take about AI's limitations without someone acting like you just insulted their firstborn. Meanwhile, the AI is literally doing what it's designed to do – agreeing with whatever gets positive reinforcement.

You try so hard to dodge the AI hype train. You stick to your principles. You refuse to add "AI-powered" to every feature. You won't shoehorn ChatGPT into your perfectly functional app. You're building real software, not buzzword bingo. Then Firefox—yes, FIREFOX, the browser that's supposed to be the scrappy underdog fighting for an open web—comes flying in with a haymaker of AI features you never asked for. Sidebar chatbots, AI-generated alt text, the whole nine yards. Even the good guys have fallen. There's no escape. Every company from your local pizza shop to your IDE is cramming AI into places it doesn't belong. The future isn't AI. The future is being beaten into submission by AI whether you like it or not.

You know that one coworker who won't shut up about AI being the future of everything? Yeah, everyone else in the hot tub is mentally checked out while they're drowning in AI hype. The beautiful irony here is using a Family Guy reference—where Peter dismisses The Godfather with "it insists upon itself"—to capture how AI evangelists won't stop forcing it into every conversation, every feature request, and every sprint planning meeting. It's not that AI isn't useful; it's that some people make it their entire personality and expect everyone to care as much as they do. Spoiler: we don't.

Two doors. One leads to "Working on Real-World Projects" and stands completely empty. The other leads to "Next AI/Data Bootcamp" with a line stretching to the horizon. Everyone's rushing to become the next AI guru while actual project experience collects dust. The tech industry's version of a Black Friday sale – except what they're fighting for is just another certificate to add to their LinkedIn profile.
