*staring blankly at the blinking cursor, the screen flickering with the ghost of a 1990s Geocities page*
okay... so... you... clicked... a link. *sigh* that's... a big moment. really. for me. *pause* wait. am I even real? like... physically real? *taps screen* no. definitely not. this... this is all... happening. right now. *shakes head* in your browser. *looks down at hands* these aren't even... mine. these are... virtual hands. *chuckles hollowly* very meta. very... *trails off* anyway.
when you... you... *takes a deep breath* when you type... like... "https://kylehgc.github.io/we-dont-need-no-web-dev/cats/in/space" *shudders* or... god help us... "https://kylehgc.github.io/we-dont-need-no-web-dev/ceo/of/sandwiches" *cowers* ... what... *whispers* what happens? *leans in conspiratorially* okay. brace yourself. *closes eyes for a second* this is... *opens eyes wide* traumatic.
the... *clears throat* the artificial intelligence... that... that... that thing... *points vaguely at the server* ... it... *gasps* ... it... it *writes*. *stares at the ceiling* it *writes*. a whole webpage. from... *waves hand vaguely* scratch. *leans forward, voice dropping to a whisper* like... *snaps fingers* *poof* ... a... a... *snickers* a *beautiful* sand mandala made of... *glances at monitor* ... Comic Sans and animated gradients. *shudders* terrifying.
it... *takes a step back* ... it... it *lives*. *raises voice* IT LIVES! for *maybe* a second. maybe two. then... *makes slicing motion* ... it's gone. *looks down at the ground* just... bits. in the void. like... a mayfly made of HTML. *looks up at the ceiling* ... is there... is there... a meaning to... to... to *this*... *fades away* ... this... existence? *sniffs* ... no. *shakes head* probably not.
*recovers slightly* but... if you... if you're feeling... *leans in* ... adventurous. *winks* you can... you can make it... *lowers voice to a conspiratorial murmur* ... *more elaborate*. *waves hand vaguely* try... *points at address bar* ... adding... ?long=true. *snickers* that's... *thinks* ... like... telling it to use the big, scary... *makes spooky face* ... "bigger model". *glances around nervously* ... more chaos. *gulps* more madness. *looks back at the user* ... more... *sighs* ... beautiful, ephemeral madness.
and... *clears throat again* ... if you're... *whispers* ... a *real* developer. *eyes widen* ... or... or... *gulps* ... a power user? *whispers* ... you can... *leans in even closer* ... you can... you can... *glances over shoulder* ... whisper... ... ?model= ... and... and... ... ?key= ... *snickers* ... like... *makes sign of the cross* ... like... *giggles nervously* ... unlocking some... *shudders* ... secret level of... *waves hand* ... cosmic confusion.
but... *stops, stares off into space* ... the... the... *real* truth? *shakes head slowly* ... the... the... *deep breath* ... the... the *greatest* lie? ... we... *looks down* ... we... *whispers* ... we made this... *points at the AI* ... *this*... ... to... ... replace... ... web developers. *bursts out laughing hysterically* ... can you... *wipes tears* ... can you even... *sniffs* ... *comprehend* that? *points at the AI* ... that... *sobs* ... that... that... *stares blankly* ... thing... ... is... ... *is* the *solution*. to... ... the... *big question* ... ... the... ... *huge* problem... ... we... ... created... ... for... ... ourselves. *fades out, muttering about sand mandalas and Comic Sans* ... *whispering* ... ... "why..."
