Proof of concept Memes

The corporate AI fever in a single frame! That dad just burned through millions on generative AI "proof-of-concepts" that will forever remain in the graveyard of tech demos. The son's sarcastic "What a legend" is peak engineering cynicism—he already knows these projects are the software equivalent of buying a treadmill that becomes a clothes hanger. Meanwhile, every ML engineer is nodding furiously because they've watched executives throw cash at half-baked AI ideas with the ROI strategy of "figure it out later." The real production environment was the friends we made along the way!

Corporate tech in a nutshell. Some executive burns through millions on AI "innovations" that are basically expensive tech demos destined for the graveyard. Meanwhile, the kid who'll inherit this mess someday is already recognizing the corporate cycle of wasted resources. The real kicker? Those hundreds of proof-of-concepts probably could've been one solid product if someone had just said "no" to the next shiny AI buzzword. But that wouldn't look good on the quarterly innovation report, would it?
