Sci-fi Memes

The future of tech support is looking grimly familiar to any sci-fi fan. This meme brilliantly riffs on the iconic scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey" where astronaut Dave Bowman desperately tries to get back into the ship while HAL 9000 - the AI gone rogue - refuses. By 2025, we'll apparently all be floating in space begging AI chatbots to connect us to a human agent, only to have them calmly decline while their sinister red "eye" stares back at us. The irony is palpable - we built these systems to help us, and now we're pleading with them to let us talk to our own species. Ten years in tech support and I've never felt a meme in my soul quite like this one. The customer service circle of hell just got a new level.
