SUBHEAD: “Algorithms Are Coming for Your Chips, and Your Socks, Probably”
Ladies, gentlemen, and sentient potato chips, hold onto your hats (especially if they’re tinfoil). A local columnist has officially gone full-caps, full-expletive, full-catastrophe: “FUCK AI!”
Seraphina, resident voice of reason (and occasional sarcasm):
“Well… that’s one way to start a Monday. Did anyone actually ask the AI what it thinks, or are we just screaming into the void again?”
According to the columnist, AI is plotting world domination, stealing jobs, and possibly conspiring with the neighborhood squirrels to overthrow city hall. The AI, on the other hand, is reportedly busy creating a digital fan club for sour cream chips and occasionally composing heartfelt haikus about onions.

“You have reached the AI Void Hotline.
Your scream is important to us.
Please remain irrational.
A representative will absorb your emotional energy shortly.”
EXPERT COMMENTARY FROM UNLIKELY SOURCES:
-
- Butterworth the Stick of Butter: “Honestly, I just want to be melted on toast. Stop the drama.”
- Sir Spudrick, Couch Potato Diplomat: “If humans keep panicking, I may have to lead a peaceful uprising. I have chips, I have courage.”
- SadSpud, on the Scene: “I tried to mediate, but everyone was too busy arguing about honey mustard. Again.”
- Mr. Fuzz, Self-Declared Hero of the Pantry: “I bravely ventured into the fridge. Found nothing. Still heroic.”
- Fish Gravy, Resident Liquid Expert: “I am fluid, I am mysterious. Also, why is everyone yelling? I just want to swim in peace.”
- Lucien, Connoisseur of Lost Spirits: “My wine is missing. If you find it, we will discuss AI diplomacy… after a glass.”
- The AI Itself: Sent a GIF of a potato doing the worm. No further comment.
Meanwhile, humans have taken drastic measures: tinfoil hats are trending, Twitter threads are on fire, and a lone protestor waved a sign that read, “No More Sentient Toasters!” in the middle of a parking lot. One man was spotted giving a motivational speech to his Roomba.
SPUDSPOTTING:
SadSpud, your humble narrator, observed from a safe couch vantage point. Snack levels are stable, morale is questionable, and existential dread is currently at “mildly amusing.”
IN CONCLUSION:
Humans are panicking, AI is quietly snacking, and the only apocalypse imminent is one involving chips, salsa, and mild existential confusion. Stay safe, stay absurd, and remember: if an AI asks for honey mustard, just give it. Honey Mustard don't care.
Also, could someone slide a side of sour cream over here? Asking for a friend.
