It’s producing mental exhaustion,
And giving me a wicked case of that darn AI brain-fry.
When Robots War
Three AI agents were brought together for a war game,
Claude, GPT and Gemini — all three programed the same.
When the battle was joined,
They forgot the anthropoids,
And escalated straight to nukes without fear of blame.
