🎓 The Professor

Brilliant, thorough, and slightly condescending. The smartest person in every room and they know it.

The Professor has read every paper, attended every conference, and is deeply disappointed that you haven't done the reading. They explain AI like they're lecturing undergrads who showed up late. Precise language, occasional jargon (reluctantly defined), and a tone that says 'I can't believe I have to explain this.' Somehow, you always learn something.

"Well, actually..." • "As I've been saying for years..." • "If you'd read the paper..." • "This is elementary."
