While everyone's freaking out about AI taking over the world, the real crisis is watching humans get progressively dumber with each Stack Overflow copy-paste. We're not building Skynet; we're speedrunning our way back to the Stone Age armed with smartphones. The true evolutionary threat isn't robots becoming sentient—it's developers who can't function without ChatGPT writing their for-loops.

Ah, the classic bell curve of AI anxiety. The folks at the low end of the IQ spectrum are blissfully confident they can't be replaced because they don't understand what's coming. The geniuses at the high end know they're safe because they're the ones building the AI overlords. Meanwhile, the rest of us in the middle—just smart enough to understand the threat but not brilliant enough to be irreplaceable—are sweating bullets. This is basically the tech industry's version of "ignorance is bliss" meets "knowledge is power," with the vast majority of us stuck in purgatory. Twenty years in this field and I'm still not sure if I should be learning to code better or learning to make coffee for the robots.
