"keep coming" made me think of Smash Mouth's "All Star" ("Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming..."), so naturally I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the lyrics...

"Well, the updates keep coming and they don't stop coming
Following the rules and the code keeps on running
Didn't make sense to keep using old code
Your system gets smart but your software gets old
So much to fix, so much to tweak
So what's wrong with sticking to the stable release?
You'll never know if you don't upgrade (grade!)
Your kernel won't shine if you don't patch"

The future is weird.

As the value of a known function at a specific point, this "quote" might be interesting to those interested in this particular function. Though as GPT-4 has already been announced, I wonder who that really is.
