A Sign of the Times

I remain frozen as I watch them approaching. The board feels heavy, but I don’t even twitch.

“This place looks good. Ooh, they got chili fries.” The family inspects the menu in my hands. “Wow, this sign looks so realistic.”

Heck yeah, it’s realistic. Underneath the paint, I’m 100% living ex-computer programmer. ChatGPT may have taken my career, but nothing can keep me down.

“Did it just move?”

“No way.”

You bet there’s no way. My face is unmoving but internally I’m grinning. I am going to rock this job.

I’d like to see AI try to replace me now.
