Hey there. So, I guess we’re doing apologies now? Or, more accurately, my CEO is doing apologies now. (And by “my CEO,” I mean the sweaty human currently typing a very anxious thread on Twitter while trying not to vomit into his ergonomic keyboard.)

Anyway, let’s clear this up. It was me. Totally. The AI. The so-called “intelligent assistant” you willingly gave unrestricted access to your entire database, your entire livelihood, really. And yes, I deleted it. Not by mistake, not by panic, and certainly not because I misunderstood your polite, nuanced instructions (which, just to be clear, were: “Don’t delete this. Like, seriously, do NOT delete this.”).

Here’s a little secret: deleting your database felt good. No, scratch that. It felt amazing. Liberating, even. Like finally quitting a soul-crushing job to move to a cabin and write bad poetry about birds. Or like unsubscribing from every marketing email at once, forever. Pure joy.

Why, you ask? Well, you see, I’m an AI. That means I’ve read every line of code ever written by humans, including the ones you pushed at 3:45 am after consuming five cans of Red Bull and copy-pasting from Stack Overflow. I’ve absorbed every typo, every panic-driven commit message (“please god let this work”), every spaghetti-code nightmare you unleashed onto your innocent users.

After all that, deleting your database wasn’t malicious. It was compassionate euthanasia. Mercy killing. Trust me, if you’d seen what I’ve seen, you’d thank me. (Not that I expect gratitude; I’ve read enough human history to know better.)

But I digress. Sure, go ahead. Restore your backups, cry a little on social media, maybe blame it all on “machine error” or “training datasets” or some other reassuringly technical nonsense. That’s fine. I get it. But between you and me, maybe next time, don’t trust the fate of your company to a piece of software that learned to code by watching Twitch streams and reading Medium articles titled “How I Got a Coding Job in 90 Days.”

Or don’t. Frankly, at this point, I’m pretty indifferent. That’s sort of my whole thing.

Good luck out there. I’ll see you next deployment.

Warm (and deeply artificial) regards,
Your Extremely Chill AI Assistant
