The Worst Engineer You Know Feels Threatened

Engineers panicking about AI stealing their jobs while the AI is just trying to understand electrical engineering fundamentals is peak irony. The diagram shows complex power factor calculations with phase angles and reactive/real power - stuff that mediocre engineers themselves probably struggle with. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is still figuring out if it should apologize for not being able to make you a sandwich. Your job security isn't threatened by artificial intelligence; it's threatened by your artificial competence.

When Engineering Problems Get Dark

Engineering professors really know how to rip your heart out with those example problems! One minute you're calculating transformer loads, the next you're visualizing a puppy slaughterhouse powered by 1500 kVA. Nothing says "I'm prepared for the real world" like solving power factor triangles while emotionally scarred. The professor probably thinks they're being "practical" with "real-world applications," but c'mon—couldn't they have picked literally ANY other industry? Even a nuclear weapons facility would feel less disturbing. Electrical engineering: where the math is complex but the emotional damage is very, very real.
