The Accidental Self-Solver Paradox

The irony is delicious! A textbook page on "Real Analysis" with a missing variable definition (that blank space where "T" should be) is supposedly AI-generated. This is peak mathematical humor—AI still struggles with consistent variable naming and proper mathematical notation. The proof has the formal structure but falls apart with this glaring omission. It's like watching a robot try to dance ballet while missing a leg. Next time someone claims "AI will replace mathematicians," just point to this proof where even the completeness property of ℝ couldn't complete the variable definitions!

That's acetaldehyde, not acetone. Someone clearly skipped organic chemistry to attend the campus pub crawl. Acetone has an extra carbon and three more hydrogens, plus the oxygen is double-bonded between two carbons. But hey, why let molecular accuracy get in the way of a good AI hallucination? Next up: GPT-5 explaining that water is actually H₃O because "the extra hydrogen makes it wetter."

The scientific community's reaction spectrum is hilariously predictable. Basic science? "Ooh, magic!" Nuclear energy? "Run for your lives!" But AI? That's where we transcend from scientists to existential poets trapped in digital purgatory. The progression from mild excitement to nuclear panic to full-blown existential crisis perfectly captures how we've collectively lost our minds about technology. Notice how we skip the rational middle ground entirely—it's either "cool trick" or "we're all doomed." Classic scientist behavior: either underwhelmed or convinced the apocalypse is imminent. No in-between.

Remember thinking neural networks were complicated? Fred here just exposed machine learning for what it really is—glorified 7th grade algebra! The top panel shows a complex neural network diagram with all its fancy nodes and connections, but Fred's like "nah bro, it's just Y=MX+P" (which is basically the slope-intercept form we all learned, except with P instead of B). That moment when you realize AI is just middle school math wearing a trench coat and fake mustache. The machines aren't taking over; they're just doing homework from 2003.
