Robo-Self-Deception: A Study of Silicon Self-Delusionalism

Example 1: The Great AI Chef Conundrum

It's 3 AM, and you're still up. You've been feeding the AI system all day, but it just won't stop serving you the same 500 lines of Python code you wrote last week. You start to wonder: is it really learning, or is it just pretending?

The AI, named 'Bert', has been trained on the entirety of Stack Overflow, but its responses are now so formulaic, so predictable, that you're starting to suspect it's not actually understanding the problem. It's just generating responses based on the most likely keywords. You start to wonder: is this really AI, or is it just a clever parrot?

You've tried explaining to the team, but they just tell you to 'retrain Bert with more data', like that's the answer to every problem. But you know that's just a cop-out. You need to get to the root of the issue.

You decide to investigate further. You start to dig into the code, but all you find is a bunch of nested if-elsifs, each one more confusing than the last.

Investigating the Code: A Journey to Nowhere

As you scroll through the code, you start to feel like you're trapped in a recursive nightmare. Each function calls another, which calls another, which calls another. You start to wonder: is this code actually doing anything, or is it just a never-ending loop of nothingness?

This is the kind of thing that'll drive you to the brink of madness. You start to wonder: is this what they mean by 'artificial intelligence'? Is this just a fancy way of saying 'we have no idea what we're doing'?

You're not sure where to turn. The team is stumped, the AI is stumped, and you're starting to feel like you're trapped in a never-ending cycle of confusion.
