    I think the joke is that the Jr. Developer sits there looking at the screen, a picture of a cat appears, and the Jr. Developer types “cat” on the keyboard then presses enter. Boom, AI in action!

    The truth behind the joke is that many companies selling “AI” have lots of humans doing tasks like this behind the scene. “AI” is more likely to get VC money though, so it’s “AI”, I promise.

        This is also how a lot (maybe most?) of the training data - that is, the examples - are made.

        On the plus side, that’s an entry-level white collar job in places like Nigeria where they’re very hard to come by otherwise.

          I recently heard somewhere that the joke in India is that in western tech company’s “AI” stands for “Absent Indians”.

            That’s simultaneously funny and depressing.
