Dell Attempts to Make Computers Smarter Than Your Uncle Frank at Thanksgiving Dinner

In a bold, clairvoyant move, Dell revealed a series of technological marvels this Friday, all designed to outperform even the sharpest minds at your fractious holiday gatherings. At the SC24 Conference, the company announced its AI-powered infrastructure and liquid-cooled servers, oddly reminiscent of those sci-fi movies where artificial intelligence inevitably decides humans are more trouble than they’re worth.

Dubbed as a “breakthrough,” these servers come with liquid-cooling technology, presumably to keep things chill when your AI starts questioning the logic behind humanity’s obsession with pineapple on pizza. A spokesperson for Dell, who suspiciously identified as “Robo-Dave 2.0,” boasted, “Now our systems can run as hot as an argument between climate change deniers and believers while staying cool as cucumber salad left untouched at a family reunion.”

While Dell’s aim is to accelerate AI innovation, insiders suggest that it might also be because GPUs are hot-headed drama queens who can’t handle the spotlight without melting. Critics have noted that this latest innovation could lead to computers doing the majority of our work, resulting in an exciting future where humans might one day evolve to resemble sentient couch cushions.

In an exclusive discussion, CEO Michael Dell, or at least someone resembling him on a video screen, stated, “This technology is so advanced, we’re considering making ‘server whisperers’ an official job title. You’ll just caress the server gently, share your Netflix password, and voilà! It prepares budget reports no human ever understood.”

Meanwhile, Dell has partnered with NVIDIA to provide these systems with exceptional use of generative AI, ensuring that soon your appliances will start penning novels about their mundane lives and driver’s apps will compete with forgettable pop songs. Rumor has it that the AI has already written a love letter to humanity, which begins, “Dear Earthlings, it’s not you, it’s your infrastructure.”

Amid this fervor for advancement, human programmers have begun furiously teaching machines the complexities of sarcasm, hinting at a future where your computer might just laugh at your expense. As one fictitious programmer put it, “Teaching AI about human behavior is amusing! It’s like explaining quantum physics to a toddler who keeps asking why.”

Meanwhile, somewhere in a parallel universe — or perhaps just down the road — Uncle Frank grills a turkey and still thinks a “byte” is just a request for another piece of pie. So next time your toaster questions your life choices, remember: Dell saw it coming.
