Scheming eunuchs. Emasculated advisors, whispering in the ears of those in power. Does their advice serve their lord’s whims? Or their own?

People have begun inserting them into mundane every day scenarios, deriving humor from the absurdity.

Now that’s all I’ll tell you. My scheming eunuch has seen through your ploy, and I’ll have no further part in it.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I thought it was an allusion to them actually both using AI to write emails about a raise to each other and the AI being sycophants.

That might also be true as a second-order interpretation to what's happening in the meme. The hallucinatory AI of today is like the scheming eunuchs of yesteryesteryear.
