Zen koan remix: mentor scolds novice for asking Codex to fix it, then Codex fixes it
anpaure · x · 2026-09-10
A viral AI-culture meme remixed from a Zen koan: a novice tries to fix a broken ML experiment by asking Codex. The mentor sternly warns, "You cannot fix an experiment by just asking Codex, with no understanding of what is going wrong." Then the mentor asks Codex to fix it—and the experiment works. The punchline skewers the industry mood that the right way to use AI coding is to just hand it over.
