Tech-discourse Memes

So while everyone's having existential crises about AI replacing programmers, here's a friendly reminder that intelligence follows a bell curve. The folks screaming "AI IS SMART" and "AI WILL REPLACE PROGRAMMERS" are sitting at opposite ends of the IQ distribution, both equally convinced they've figured it all out. Meanwhile, the vast majority in the middle are just like "yeah, AI is a tool that's pretty dumb at a lot of things but useful for some stuff." It's the Dunning-Kruger effect in real time: people with minimal understanding think AI is either a god or completely useless, while those who actually work with it daily know it's more like a very confident intern who occasionally hallucinates entire libraries that don't exist. Sure, it can autocomplete your code, but it'll also confidently suggest you divide by zero if you phrase the question wrong. The real galaxy brain take? AI is a productivity multiplier, not a replacement. But nuance doesn't make for good LinkedIn posts, does it?

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.
