Oh Look, AI isn’t Taking Over the World

In what must be a surprising turn of events for all the technophobes and conspiracy theorists out there, it seems that artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t really replacing humans like y’all were so damn scared of. Not now, not ever. At best, AI is doubling up as an operational backbone, strengthening business processes, and filling in any gaps in performance, much like how your favorite dietary supplements shore up the deficits in your sorry excuse for a nutrition plan.

Who Knew? Supplements Still Don’t Replace Real Food!

And here’s the thing – not only is AI not replacing human workers, but it’s also not replacing human intelligence. Ever heard that a healthy diet can’t be replaced by supplements? The same logic holds true for AI. Just as you’d be a complete dunce to replace fresh fruits and veggies with a pill, you’d be equally foolish to presume AI could possibly fill the shoes of human cognition, creativity, and judgement. Not only is AI less capable than a human in many respects, but it also relies on human tuning and feeding, sort of like a needy Tamagotchi from the early 2000s.

Hot Take: AI is Just a Really Needy Tamagotchi

So there you have it. The AI apocalypse has been officially postponed, yet again. Instead of replacing us, AI is here just to assist us, whether that be by doing routine tasks more efficiently or helping us find that elusive Netflix series we didn’t know we needed. The reality is, substituting human roles entirely with AI would be as sensible as replacing all your meals with dietary supplements. You might save time and effort, but the end result is always gonna be less fulfilling and riskier. So relax, dear technophobes! Your job (and your boss) are still irksome enough to require you, not an AI-driven bot, to accomplish. AI is just the latest needy Tamagotchi that we’ve got to feed and care for.
