"haha google ai summary" is overdone yada yada but; I pasted a (reddit) joke because I wanted it explained and I got this masterpiece back

A Google AI overview

---

Query: I don't even see yaml anymore. All I see is blonde, brunette, red head...

Al Overview:

You have stared at too many configuration files for too long and officially entered the YAML Matrix.

The YAML Matrix Reality
• The Operators: You no longer see data structures. You only see indentation errors and missing hyphens.
• The Agents: Tab characters are trying to destroy your two-space alignment.
• The Red Pill: Switching to JSON and dealing with all those extra curly braces and double quotes.
• The Blue Pill: Pretending that yes and no are still boolean values instead of strings.
Symptoms of Overexposure
• You panic when a line moves one space to the left.
• You start reading plain text files looking for a root node.
• You try to parse your grocery list with a linter.
If you want to escape the simulation, tell me:
• What configuration tool are you fighting with right now (Kubernetes, Ansible, GitHub Actions)?
• What error message is breaking your reality?

▎ Magic-style red and white Legendary Artifact Creature (Vehicle) card titled "Release Train, Unstoppable", costing seven generic, one red, and one white mana, with power and toughness 10/10. The art shows an ornate red and gold steam locomotive tearing through a burning city, rails glowing molten beneath it, debris and embers flying, spectral figures streaming from its carriages. Rules text: "Trample, haste, vigilance, postmortem. Whenever Release Train attacks, return up to one target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking. Exile that creature at the beginning of the next end step." Flavor text: "The timetable is public. The brakes are aspirational."

Magic-style white Sorcery card titled "Daily Standup", costing one white mana. The art shows seven people in pale robes standing in a ring inside a sunlit marble rotunda, each cupping a small glowing orb, with one empty office chair in the middle of the circle and a grid of glowing runic panels on the far wall. Rules text: "Each player untaps a permanent they control. Then each player may reveal a nonland card from their hand. Cards revealed this way cost an additional mana to cast until that player's next turn. Draw a card." Flavor text: "Fifteen minutes. One sentence each. The blocker still gets its own meeting."

Magic-style blue and white Enchantment card titled "Tech Conference", costing one generic, one blue, and one white mana. The art shows a vast glass-and-crystal hall where a speaker in a blue robe gestures on a circular stage while a crowd of seated and standing attendees in glowing runic robes watch, take notes on luminous tablets, and talk in clusters in the foreground. Rules text: "When Tech Conference enters, put a conference counter on up to three target Programmer, Engineer, or Advisor creatures you control. Creatures you control with conference counters are Speakers in addition to their other types and get +1/+1. Whenever one or more Speakers you control deal combat damage to a player, draw a card, then discard a card." Flavor text: "Three days of talks. One hallway conversation that changes your architecture."

Magic-style black Legendary Creature (Demon) card titled "Vendor Lock-In, Demon of Contracts", costing four generic and two black mana, with power and toughness 6/5. The art shows a horned, grey-skinned demon in a high-collared purple and black coat standing in a dim vaulted archive, dangling a length of golden chain from one clawed hand and clutching a heavy iron-bound tome glowing with violet light in the other. Rules text: "Flying. Whenever Vendor Lock-In deals combat damage to a player, that player can't cast spells with mana value 3 or less until your next turn. Two generic and one black mana, Sacrifice another permanent: Search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle." Flavor text: "Migration is always possible and never, ever begins."

I don’t do a lot of PHP anymore but Laravel did level up my general programming game by quite a bit in the early stages of my career. I always have a soft spot and staunchly defend the language against the people that haven’t used it at all or not since the 5.x era.
