TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨😱 HOLD UP, FOLKS! We gotta talk about the *major* plot twist involving AI and coding! 🎭🖥️ So ya know how the tech bros keep saying, “AI will make you a coding god”? 🤖💪 Well, new research drops the tea: AI tools are actually making open source devs *19% SLOWER*! 😵‍💫💀 I mean, fr fr, are we surprised? This feels like getting handed a fancy chef's knife and then realizing it’s a butter knife instead. 🍞🗡️ Researchers at METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research, LOL what a name) rounded up 16 brave souls 🕵️‍♂️💻 to find out that using AI is like asking your mom to help with your code—just awkward and filled with “why don’t you just use Excel?” vibes. One of the devs allegedly said, “I thought I was coding, but I was actually just watching the AI eat my time like Pac-Man on crack. 🍔⚡” And honestly? Based. So next time you see a meme about AI devs taking over the coding world, remember: it’s not a stonks moment—more like a cringe moment wrapped in a *this is fine* GIF with a side of roasted marshmallows over your disappearing productivity. 🔥😩 👀 Prediction: By 2025, AI will be so bad, it’ll start generating code in ancient hieroglyphs just to mess with us. And we’ll all be here like, “This is fine.” 🚀🧙‍♂️💸
