    Can someone explain this joke in programmer terms?

    I just wrote an AI that is trained to classify image patterns and automatically creates bitmasks based on the pattern distributions. We tried k-means clustering and got garbage. How would I have done that without AI?

      Yeah, the joke is that every company is trying to ram LLMs and Agentic LLMs into everything without thinking about what they’re trying to accomplish. Like the trend with blockchain a decade ago.

      Yours is a valid use case for ai. That’s why it doesn’t fit the meme.

        Thanks. That sounds more like a joke aimed at non-programmers about people who think they’re programmers. If I’m willing to ignore all the valid use cases of AI, I guess it might be funny to assume that none exist.
