So this is a list of responses given by AI when you correct it? My guess was “Things you will never hear from a client when you politely point out a logical inconsistency, an incorrect assumption, or a wild over/underestimation in their project plan.” 'Cause in my experience the response you will get, 99% of the time, is “That won’t happen.”
I think it’s a thing mainly for hobby programmers and young students that don’t have a solid foundation/grasp of programming yet, which also likely makes up a big portion of programming meme communities.
There are definitely more experienced programmers using it. I can’t find the post at the moment, but there was a recent-ish blog post citing a bunch of examples. [edit: found it: https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/they-all-use-it ]
Personally, I don’t use AI much, but I do occasionally experiment with it (for instance, I recently gave Claude Sonnet the same live-coding interview I give candidates for my team; it…did worse than I expected, tbh). The experimenting is sufficient for me to recognize these phrases.
It isn’t, at work we’re in the process of evaluating how useful it can be and a bunch of people received Cursor licenses to test it out.
If you’re trying to do something common it works great as long as you are concise enough. The moment you try to get it to do something obscure it starts failing miserably.
Unreal that AI is so ubiquitous apparently in programming, that I as a non-AI-user had to come to the comments to understand wtf this meant

I thought it was “things a programmer says to a client (while rolling their eyes) after the client gives nonsensical feedback.”
